BE STILL

BE STILL!
The word still means calmness, quiet or silent. It also means soft and gentle. Many a time in circumstances, many lose their stillness. Many are anxious and get worried. Many become disquieted and restless. Many are impatient when it comes to waiting on GOD. Waiting on GOD requires calmness and stillness. GOD’s way are not ours, His thoughts are not ours. His thoughts and plans toward us are of good and not of evil to give us an expected end. That expected end of yours will be accomplished only if you are still. We humans in this present world lack patience. Many find it difficult to exercise patience. Many find it difficult waiting on GOD. GOD is capable of doing exceeding; abundantly above all we could ever ask or think of. Ephesians 3 vs. 20: Now to HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Believing GOD for something and answers are yet to come doesn’t mean GOD will still not do. You have to be still for He will be glorified at last over what you are believing HIM for. Only those who are still when waiting on GOD will He strengthen. Only those who are still when waiting on GOD will run and not be weary; walk and not faint. Psalm 27 vs. 14: Wait on the LORD, be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; wait I say on the LORD. Isaiah 40 vs. 31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
             Moreover, GOD himself speaks with a still voice. He spoke to Elijah in a still small voice. 1 King 19 vs. 12-13: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said what do you here, Elijah? The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 23 vs. 2: He makes me to lie down in the green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters. The Good Shepherd JESUS leads his sheeps we his children through the still waters so we can be restored and strengthened; and also because He Himself is Still. Job was told to stand still and consider the wondrous works of GOD. Job 37 vs. 14: Hearken to this, o Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of GOD. On a final note, Psalm 107 vs. 29: He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Those storms, difficulties, challenges, battles, unrest, sorrows, adversity, disturbances, confrontations can be still and calm only if we believe and know GOD is capable of making them still. Psalm 46 vs. 10: Be still and know that I am GOD; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. GOD will be exalted and glorified over any challenges, adversity, disturbances, unrest, sorrow, reproach, difficulties of yours; just be still and know He is GOD. Has this write up blessed you? Kindly, share with others. It is well with us…

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...

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...

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...
