DO YOU WANT LONG, GOOD LIFE?

                       
                            DO YOU WANT A LONG, GOOD LIFE?
James 1 vs. 17: (NIV): Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly light who does not change like shifting shadow. GOD is the giver of life. He is the Creator and we are his creations. Long life and Good life is a good thing. This is also one of GOD’s promises for our lives. Psalm 91 vs. 16: With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. Also we have another promise in Isaiah 65 vs. 21-22: And they shall build houses and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. As children of GOD we are to stand on these promises and many more in the word of GOD. The days of a tree is long and not short. The elect are children of GOD, they build houses and inhabit them; no one else inhabits it, they plant and eat the fruit of them; they don’t plant for others to eat.

             Furthermore, if you want a long, good life the first thing you must do is watch your tongue. The tongue looks small but it’s powerful. No wonder, Proverbs 18 vs. 21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. What you say with your tongue, will create what you will see. A man must be conscious of how he uses his tongue. Proverbs 21 vs. 23: Whoso keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles. When you confess with your tongue and mouth long life, good health, sound mind and other good things so shall it be. Job 22 vs. 28: You shall also decree a thing and it shall be established to you; and the light shall shine upon your ways. But many say negative things with their tongues which shouldn’t be. As children of GOD we have authority to decree a thing with our mouth and tongue and it shall surely come to pass. Proverbs 15 vs. 4: A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. The bible also describes the tongue just like the small rudder of a ship turns it to wherever the captain wants it to go, so does the tongue controls one life. James 3 vs. 5-6: Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindles. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members that defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. Do you want a long, good life? Then watch your tongue. I shall continue from here tomorrow. Have you been blessed by this write-up? Kindly, share with others. 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...
