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….

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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
