KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

TO THE LIVING! Halleluyah! It is GOD’s mercy that we are not consumed. Lamentations 3 vs. 22: It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. When there is life, there is hope. Our ray hope is because GOD’s compassion never ends. It is only his mercies that has kept us this far. It is a new month; it is a great privilege to see another new month. People better than us are long dead; people stronger than us are no more, people of understanding are nowhere to be found, people of great skills than you are, are nowhere to be found. Being alive today is because of GOD’s mercy that endures forever. No wonder Ecclesiastes 9 vs. 11(NIV): I have seen something else under the sun. The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.             To the living, we are stil...

COMING FORTH AS GOLD 2! T hese that come forth as gold are likened to vessel of gold and silver. They are vessel to honor and not dishonor. In life there are dishes made of gold and silver as well as some made of wood and clay. Expensive dishes are used for guests and the cheap ones are used to put garbage in. Staying away from sin and ungodliness makes you useable for GOD for his highest purpose. A pure heart will surely come forth as gold when tested and tried in trials. Running form anything that gives evil thoughts and staying close to things that make you want to do right will make you come forth as gold.          2 Timothy 2 vs. 20-22: But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work. Flee also...

COMING FORTH AS GOLD! Gold is precious and valuable. A gold glitters and sparkles. It is a jewel, but before it becomes a finished pure gold, it has undergone various processes. Gold is purified by fire. It is tried and tested just to be purified. Proverbs 17 vs. 3 (NIV): The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD test the heart. 1 Peter 1 vs. 7:   That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Our faith will surely be tested just as fire tests gold and purifies it. Without faith it is impossible to please GOD. Faith without works is dead. Our faith is far precious to GOD than mere gold. We must remain strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials. There are test tube of fiery trials; Job faced such, but he came out as pure as gold. Job was tried, tested but he stood firm on his faith in GOD. To c...

NOTHING OUT! What is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanishes away. James 4 vs. 14: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. We all know our birth date, but no one knows his death date. It is better to live a life that glorifies GOD while we last on earth. It is better we utilize our gifts and talents GOD has deposited inside of us. For He will ask us what we have done with them maybe it has yielded or we have hidden them. We are not to be like the servant that received one talent and digged in the earth and hid it. We are to discover our talents, glorify GOD with it and bare fruits with it; so we can be pronounced good and faithful servant! To whom much is given, much is expected. Every soul on earth has one or more gifts and talents deposited in them by GOD. Now that you are alive discover and utilize it for GOD’s glory and his kingdo...

BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE 2! I Timothy 6 vs. 6: But godliness with contentment is great gain. This is discipline! Many a time men lack discipline because they are discontented with what they have. The word covetousness means immoderate desire for the possession of something, especially for wealth. Much affection is set on worldly things; and not above. Colossian 3 vs. 2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. A man of discipline will be contented with what he has and won’t covet other’s wealth. Exodus 20 vs. 17: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s. Many people’s problem today is covetousness. A man that covets what others have is an indiscipline man. David coveted Uriah’s wife Bathsheba and devised means to kill Uriah despite his wives. This is indiscipline, the bible said but the things that David had do...

BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE Discipline is a controlled behavior. It means self-control. It is a systematic method of obtaining obedience. It is a state of order based on submission to authority. To live a victory life on earth, we must be disciplined. Discipline is ever learning and comes to the knowledge of the truth. Discipline is godliness. Discipline is contentment. Discipline is brokenness. Discipline is a great gain. Being discipline in some areas in the sight of men looks foolish, but in GOD’s sight it is wisdom and it’s profitable. Show me a discipline man and I will tell you he is full of wisdom and knowledge. Show me an indiscipline man and I will tell you he lacks wisdom and knowledge. Ecclesiastes 10 vs. 10: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct. Discipline is profitable to direct. Men that exhibited discipline in the bible were men of wisdom and understanding.  Our GOD is self-control;...

                                             FAITH TESTING 2! I Peter 1 vs. 7: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, through it be tried with fire might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of JESUS CHRIST. Our faith will be tested with trials just as fire tests gold and purifies it. If a man’s faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials; this brings much praises and glory from GOD. There are trials and there are trials. Many have a wild faith when tried by challenges, trials, storms, and difficulties. There are strong problems that confines and limits, such problems and trials are regarded as test tube of fiery trials. A test tube is so narrow; it will be unbearable when a man is confined in a test tube. There are problems, trials like that, they hav...
