BEING FULL OF YOURSELF



 BEING FULL OF YOURSELF
The flesh will always want to be pleased. The spirit is willing, it quickeneth; but the flesh is weak and profits nothing. Engaging yourself in worldly things draws GOD’s Spirit far from you. If you draw nearer to GOD, He will also draw nearer to you. Many hearts are filled with ungodly thing. A man’s heart should be guarded with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4 vs. 23: Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. A man’s heart must be filled with godly things. The Psalmist said in Psalm 119 vs. 11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you. He knew worldly things might occupy his heart; he hid GOD’s word inside his heart; so he might not sin against GOD. When a man is full of himself, GOD cannot fill him. When a man is full of himself, he walks after the flesh and fulfills the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5 vs. 16- 17: This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. It is important to be filled with the Holy Spirit; rather than being filled with worldliness. The spirit is contrary to the flesh. When a man is full of himself, he is under the law. Galatians 5 vs. 18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. When a man is full of himself, he is of the world and the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2 vs. 15-16: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Vs. 17: And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of GOD abideth forever. The will of GOD is walking in the Spirit, the will of GOD is being filled by the Spirit of GOD. The disciples were fully filled with the Spirit of GOD, on the day of Pentecost. After that encounter, they were bold and could perform miracles, signs and wonders which they couldn’t do before.

                     

Act 1 vs. 8:  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:  and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The bible said as many that are led by the Spirit of the LORD, they are sons of GOD. They are spirit conscious than flesh. When a man is full of himself, he is automatically saying no place for GOD. GOD is a jealous GOD; He told Moses and the Israelites thou shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20 vs. 3-5: Thou shall have no other gods before me. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy GOD am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Readers, you will observe and discover whatever you engage your heart with, tells what becomes of you. GOD should have a place in our lives, nothing should take that place. We need HIM more than ever before. He must be exalted above all other things. It is well with us……

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

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...
