IF YOU...THEN,

IF YOU….. THEN,
Proverbs 25 vs. 28: He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Lack of self-control gradually destroys a man’s life. A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken down walls. Sin kills, sin destroys, and sin draws a man far from GOD. The bible said the soul that sins shall die. Also, the bible records the wages of sin is death. John 6 vs. 63b: It is the spirit that quickneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. Minding the things of the flesh causes lack of self-control; because you will always want to please the flesh. We need to return back to GOD so He can release His Spirit to control us. A man with the Spirit of GOD will be led to mind the things of the spirit. Those led by the Spirit of GOD have self-control and are called sons of GOD. We need to return to GOD so we can exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. Self-control is one of them. Galatians 5 vs. 25-26 (NIV): Since we live by the spirit, let us keep in step with the spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Many look for vain glory, honors and popularity losing their self-control. Many envy others and lose their self-control. Proverbs 22 vs. 23: If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up; you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles. We need to return to the Almighty so He can build us back. Many are like a city that is broken down and without walls. He is the Potter we are clay in his hands. Only GOD can rebuild us, remold us and restore us. We need to put away iniquities, for GOD cannot behold them. Proverbs 22 vs. 24: Then shall thou lay-up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. We need to let go of the desires of the world. We need to let go of the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life; for they are of the world and causes lack of self-control. 1 John 2 vs. 16: 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.
                

Furthermore, after doing all these highlighted above; then the Almighty shall be our defense, and we shall be blessed with precious silver treasure. Then, we shall delight in the Almighty and lift our face to GOD and He will hear us. Then, we shall decree a thing and it shall be established and GOD’s light shall shine upon our ways. Then, when men are casted down, then we shall say, there is a lifting up. Job 22 vs. 25-29: Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shall have plenty of silver. For then shall thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up thy face unto GOD. Thou shall make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shall pay thy vows. Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men are cast down, then thou shall say, there is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. If you can only return to GOD, then all these promises will be yours… Return back to GOD today, He awaits your return back to HIM. Share with others. 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...

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...
