TOLERANCE 2

 TOLERANCE 2

Tolerance is the ability to endure pain or hardship. It means endurance. CHRIST exhibited tolerance because he obeyed his Father GOD when sent to the world. GOD’s love toward mankind is unfathomable. He that loves will tolerate, he that doesn’t love will not tolerate. Romans 5 vs. 8: But GOD commendeth his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated despites our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated despite our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. If CHRIST could tolerate us then we ought to tolerate others. CHRIST endured a lot just for our sake. Isaiah 53 vs. 5-7: But he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned everyone to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before her shearers in dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

              Moreover, we should look at CHRIST as our role model. He should be the author of our faith. If CHRIST is your role model and the Author and finisher of your faith, then you will tolerate others. Hebrews 12 vs. 2: Looking unto JESUS the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD. He did these because He is love. No wonder the bible says in 1 Corinthians 13 vs. 7: Beareth all things believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. GOD’s tolerance shouldn’t be taken for granted. Romans 9 vs. 22: Does not GOD have a perfect right to show his fury and power against those who are fit only for destruction, those he has been patient with for all this time? A word is enough for the wise. Tolerate others today as GOD did, and don’t take his tolerance for granted. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us.

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

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...
