MY PORTION 3



MY PORTION 3
Lamentation 3 vs. 24 (AMP): The LORD is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in HIM and wait expectantly for HIM. Only few wait on GOD. It takes a determined minded man to wait on GOD. Waiting on GOD is the best. Isaiah 40 vs.31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. Many a time, we see waiting on GOD as delay and denial. GOD’s time is always the best, for He knows all things. We need renewal of strength to wait on GOD. Psalm 27 vs. 14: Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say on the LORD. Since we profess GOD to be our portion, we must hope and wait expectantly for HIM. Hope in GOD is not ashamed; those that wait on GOD laugh last. An adage said he who laughs last, laughs best. Lamentation 3 vs. 25 (AMP): The LORD is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for HIM, to those who seek HIM (inquire of and for HIM and require HIM by right of necessity and on the authority of GOD’s word). David inquired of HIM, for HIM and required HIM by right of necessity and on the authority of GOD’s word, because GOD was is portion. He said in Psalm 27 vs.4: One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. No wonder GOD was good to him, no wonder in time of trouble he was hidden in his pavilion in the secret of his tabernacle, no wonder he was set up upon a rock.  No wonder his head was lifted up above his enemies round about him.
                   There is power and authority in GOD’s word. His words are sharper than any two edged sword. His words never return to him void. His words accomplish that which He pleases. His words never fade, it stands forever. We have GOD’s word to proclaim; study and meditate. Joshua 1 vs. 8: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt mediate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. We have promises and portion in GOD’s word; let us study, meditate and proclaim them. Let’s do what is written therein. It is well with us…

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
