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 with his stripes we are healed. We have to cast all our care on him, for He cares for us. 1 Peter 5 vs. 7: Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for us. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4 vs. 8-10: We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD JESUS, that the life of JESUS might be made manifest in our body.     

                
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 30 vs. 17: For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, said the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, this is Zion, whom no man seek after. This is the word of the LORD, where are you labeled an Outcast? Where have you been labeled no man seeks after? Where have you been asked can anything good come out of thee? Where have you been queried where is thy GOD? All these questions will make a man run to GOD. All these questions will make a man anxious and worried. Romans 8 vs. 19: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of GOD. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 42 vs. 1-3: As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O GOD. My soul thirsts for GOD, for the living GOD; when shall I come and appear before GOD? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say to me, where is your GOD? But I love his courage in Vs. 5: Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in GOD; for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. We have to hope in GOD and believe in his promises to be victorious. Only GOD can answer all our petitions and requests. Only HIM can restore us back and heal our wounded heart. Only HIM is the present help in times of need. It is well with us..

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...
