LONG-SUFFERING

LONG-
SUFFERING
This word is a powerful word. Not everyone can exercise patience in some circumstances. Many get angry easily with just mere words, but a person that exhibit longsuffering will endure and be patience even while in pain. Longsuffering is having endured mental or physical discomfort for a protracted period of time patiently or without. A man that exhibit longsuffering is a man of the Spirit. Longsuffering is one of the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5 vs. 22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. GOD is a Spirit, He told Moses in Exodus 34 vs. 6: And the LORD passed by before him and proclaimed; The LORD, The LORD GOD, MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS, LONGSUFFERING AND ABUNDANT IN GOODNESS AND TRUTH. Vs. 7: Keeping mercy for thousand, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the children and upon children’s children, to the third and to the fourth generation. GOD is longsuffering. He is a Merciful and Gracious GOD. He is Abundant in Goodness and Truth. He long suffers because He is Merciful and Gracious.

            

It hurts GOD when his creations commit sins or go against his will; but because of his love, he still patiently waits for us to repent. Romans 5 vs. 8: But GOD commended his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. GOD’s foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of men. Many take this for granted and continue in sins. Remember, Romans 6 vs. 1: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sins, that grace may abound? Vs. 2: GOD forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? As GOD’s creation we are to follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man will see GOD. Hebrews 12 vs. 14: Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the LORD. As GOD’s creation we are to exhibit longsuffering. There are circumstances that will show up, we must endure and wait patiently on GOD. Many find it difficult enduring or waiting on GOD when in difficult situations, remember GOD is longsuffering. Many find it difficult to forgive others that offend them, remember GOD is longsuffering. Many get angry easily, remember GOD is longsuffering. Silence is golden, patience is not foolishness. It is well with us….

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

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...
