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

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...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
