REGIMENTAL LIFE

                       REGIMENTAL LIFE
Greetings to all readers that read on this platform worldwide. It’s been a while, hope we are still standing in faith? And hope we still depend and trust GOD? These past weeks, I experienced a lot and was inspired to write something on it. Regimental is something relating to a regiment. It is overly strict and rigid. Regiment is word used to describe a unit of armed troops under the command of an officer. It is a rule or governance over a person, place. It is an influence or control exercised by someone or something. These past three weeks was a regimented life for me and others that participated in the orientation. Officers had rule over us, it’s a must we did what we were commanded to do. It is a rule we kept the surroundings clean. It is a rule we wake up when the bugle sounds. It is a must we muster out when they want us to. I could deduce Dedication, Discipline, Submission and Obedience. Everyone became dedicated to all rules and commands, because it was a regimented training.
                   However, discipline was the order of the day; the undisciplined had no option than to become disciplined. They were fined tuned into the disciplined. There was submission, people with ego became submissive; they brought down their ego. People had no choice than to obey the rules and commands, since they knew the implications of disobeying. These qualities made life regimented during the orientation program.
  Romans 12 vs. 1-2 (AMP): I appeal to you therefore, brethren and beg of you in view of all the mercies of GOD, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies (presenting all your members and faculties) as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to GOD, which is your reasonable service and spiritual worship. GOD stands as the Officer. He expects us to make a decisive dedication to our bodies, He expects us to be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable. He expects us to please HIM in whatever we do, which is a reasonable service. GOD expects us to be disciplined within and without; He expects us to conform to his will and commands, and not that of the world. Romans 12 vs.2 (NIV): Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.
              However, GOD expects us to be submissive to his rules and will. When one exalts the rules and will of the world, he is of the world and the love of the Father is not in him. GOD’s rules and will should be exalted by men and stood for anywhere one finds himself. James 4 vs. 6-7: But he giveth more grace, wherefore he saith, GOD resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to GOD, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submission to GOD is important; when you submit to GOD you have power and authority to resist the devil. The bible said Obedience is better than sacrifice. It is better to obey and submit to the will of GOD and not men.

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

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...
