WORK ON THE WORD 3!

WORK ON THE WORD 3!
R. Kelso Carter wrote these hymn lyrics;
Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of GOD I shall prevail
Standing on the promises of GOD
Standing on the promises of CHRIST the LORD
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord
Overcoming daily with the spirit’s sword
Standing on the promises of GOD.     
GOD’s promises are in his words. The bible says He honors his words more than his name. Isaiah 55 vs. 11: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. A man’s promises fail, but GOD’s promises never fail. Isaiah 40 vs. 8: The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our GOD shall stand forever. We are to stand on GOD’s promises which can be found in his word. When in difficulty or facing any challenges GOD’s promises are there in his word to make us overcome; we are to stand on them. When in challenges standing on words like For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. The LORD is my light and my salvation, who shall I fear. But you O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head. There is no wisdom nor counsel, nor understanding against the LORD. I know that you can do everything and that no thought can be withheld from you. I shall decree a thing, and it shall be established to me; and the light shall shine upon my ways. When men are cast down, then I shall say; There is lifting up, and He shall save the humble person. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in GOD; for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. These are just few promises from GOD’s word, work on the word by standing on them in faith when faced by challenges and difficulties. Only by his word can we prevail. Only by standing on his word in faith can we overcome.
                      2 Corinthians 1 vs. 20: For all the promises of GOD in Him are Yea, and in Him Amen, to the glory of GOD by us. GOD is the FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED, His promises are faithful and fails not. His promises in JESUS were fulfilled. Paul said to quench the fiery darts of the wicked and overcome storms, trials, difficulties, problems; we must take the shield of faith, take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of GOD. Ephesians 6 vs. 16-17: Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with you shall be able to quench all fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of GOD. Standing on GOD’s promises is having faith in his word. Faith without work is dead and it is impossible to please GOD without faith. Work on the word by standing in faith in the word. 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...
