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!!!

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...

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 ...

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...
