BE CONSCIOUS

BE CONSCIOUS!
To be conscious means to be alert. It means to be aware and not caught unaware. If our adversary the devil roaring like a lion and walks about seeking whom he may devour, then we have to be vigilant and sober. 2 Peter 5 vs. 8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. The devil’s mission is to steal, to kill and to destroy. John 10 vs. 10: The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. CHRIST came that we might have life and have it abundantly. We are to be conscious of these; CHRIST came that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3 vs. 8: He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of GOD was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. We are not to be ignorant of the devices of the enemies. We are to be conscious of his fiery darts and devices. Many find it difficult to forgive others, be conscious if GOD can forgive us who are we not to. Be aware the devil might outsmart you with that. The devil looks for means, ways and devices to outsmart and sieve one as wheat. 2 Corinthians 2 vs. 10 -11: To whom you forgive anything, I forgive it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of CHRIST. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices.

               Moreover, JESUS told his disciples in Matthew 26 vs. 40-41: And He comes to the disciples, and finds them asleep, and say to Peter; what could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and Pray, that you enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. We are to be conscious by watching and praying, we are to pray and not faint. Luke 18 vs. 1: And He spoke a parable to them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. If JESUS was tempted by the devil after fasting for forty days and forty nights, then we should expect his temptations too. JESUS was conscious and replied the devil with: It is written, men shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of GOD. It is written again, you shall not tempt the LORD your GOD. It is written, you shall worship the LORD your GOD, and Him only shall you serve. All these are GOD’s words and law. CHRIST was conscious of these and defeated the devil with them. Are you conscious of GOD’s words? 1 Thessalonians 1 vs. 16a : Let the word of CHRIST dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Kindly 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...
