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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
