LONG- SUFFERING 3

LONG-SUFFERING 3
Endurance is a virtue a man must get. Endurance is to continue to carry on despite obstacles or hardships. The truth be said obstacles will always be on the way, hardship and challenges will come; but be rest assured he that endure and wait patiently on GOD will never be put to shame. Many lack patience waiting on GOD. You can’t help GOD, GOD has is perfect timing for all things. Ecclesiastes 3 vs. 1: To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. GOD’s timing is not man’s timing. GOD’s ways are not that of men, His thoughts are not that of men. As the heaven is far high above the earth, so are His ways and thoughts higher than that of men. Isaiah 55 vs. 9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. JESUS said in Matthew 10 vs. 21-22: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake; but he that endures to the end shall be saved. Enduring and hoping in GOD is key. That challenges, obstacles, hardship and storms are not forever, though weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30 vs. 5: For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. If GOD’s anger doesn’t endure, we all might have been consumed. It is by His mercies that we are not consumed. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 130 vs. 3: if thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquity, O LORD, who shall stand?

                   
Job was a good example of endurance. He endured all his difficulties and challenges because he knew His Redeemer lives. He was patient and long-suffered because he knew it’s for GOD to be glorified. He said in Job 14 vs. 7: For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Hoping in men will lead to shame, but hoping in GOD is not ashamed. Paul said in Romans 5 vs. 3-5: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation works patience. And patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope makes not ashamed; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us. Where is thy soul fainting? Hope thou in GOD and His words. Kindly share these 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...
