They have been given infatuation. They have been given motivation. They have been given false political promises. They have been given hard drugs. They have been given education and money. We can’t give them the same things that haven’t worked for them. We must give them something in the name of Jesus and things will change for the better!
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Tasting and concluding for ourselves that the LORD is good, Psalm 34:8. Knowing from a discussion of facts and knowing from experience are two different conclusions.
Do not despise God by rejecting correction. Do not misunderstand and get offended by correction. It is a sign of God’s love for you. Be very worried if your sin isn’t mentioned here. If it is God’s word that mentions our sins, we should be glad that God remembered us to correct us. If we silence those who correct us, we are closing the door of mercy for ourselves. Make it your way of life to accept correction without excuse. Be very worried if your sin isn’t mentioned here.
Confessing Jesus is not enough, our lifestyle must be consistent with that confession. May our lifestyle be consistent with the messages we preach and teach. Cast out demons that trouble us daily, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Does your appetite and aggressiveness in the presence of food or certain favorite foods expose your weakness and dilute your witnessing? What do your food and eating habits tell the world about you? How we eat/drink and what we eat/drink can positively or negatively affect our witnessing of Christ. Are we safe if our eating and drinking habits became part of the assessment of our faith?
If you will think carefully you will discover what happens to your money that is never enough. If we think carefully we will return to God for our own good. We will return to God for the good of our businesses, jobs, health, families, studies, etc. Don’t just think, think carefully!
He came out when I was lonely. He came out when I was indisposed. He came out during a road accident. He came out when I was stressed and depressed. He came out that is why I am still alive. You came out, come out again!
Wearing sackcloth is not a biblical command to be applied in our times. Expressing sorrow for sins is not limited to wearing of sackcloth. It’s grotesque to dress in sackcloth today with no religious meaning.
Has your family betrayed you? Love again. Have any of your friends betrayed you? Love again. Are colleagues the source of your troubles and all love is lost and the place has become toxic? Love again. Are you tired of everything around here and all you feel like is quitting? Love again. Love your job again. Love your spouse again. Love your parents again. Love your children again. Love your relatives again. Show your love again!
