LONGSUFFERING 4

LONGSUFFERING 4
I start with 1 Corinthians 13 vs. 4: Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not, charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up. Vs. 5: Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil. Then Vs. 7: Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. GOD truly is love. No wonder he sent CHRIST. He that get easily provoke has no patient, such cannot bear all things, such cannot endure all things. JESUS did bear all our debts of sin and he endured the suffering on the cross for us to be saved. Only a person that truly loves you will bear all things and endure all things. It’s just like a mother that bears all things during pregnancy and after pregnancy. The woman will go through a lot while in the delivery room. I once visited a neighbor of mine that put to birth few years back, and a woman was rushed into the clinic. Her reactions showed women go through life and death while delivery. Most endure all these just because they love their husbands and the child. They endure not sleeping until the baby sleeps, they bear a lot. JESUS did the same for us.


             

However, it is always good to exercise patient in all our doings. Impatience is the opposite of patience. It doesn’t tolerate. It is restlessness. Impatience has caused a lot of people disaster, what being patience would have resolved and calm. Moses’s impatience costed him taking the Israelites to the promise land. He couldn’t control his anger. Anger is the work of the flesh. It is a small madness and shouldn’t be exhibited by a child of GOD. A crucified body won’t get angry. Numbers 20 vs. 7-8: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying; Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. Vs. 10 -12: And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, hear now, ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice; and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank and their beast also. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children if Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land I have given them. Start this week by exercising patience and self -control in all your doings. Kindly share with others…….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...
