DO GOOD ALWAYS

-


Text: Galatians 6:9

Do not be weary in well doing, because in due time you will reap it if you faint not._* 

While growing up as a little child, my mother told me a lot of life-changing stories that I thought were real Bible stories. But as I grow, I realised that the stories were not in the Bible, but none the less impactful.

Permit me to share one of those stories with you today: 

Two  men were living in a story building. One was living up while the other was living downstairs. The one up was a righteous man, who was always doing good. The one down was the exact opposite.

One day the evil man downstairs said to himself "despite my riches and affluent, I don't have the peace and joy that this Godly man upstairs has." So he decided to go meet the man and tell him to show him the way to true joy and peace.

Meanwhile, the good man upstairs felt what's the point of being good and faithful after all. Despite his holy living and good deeds ,he is not as rich and comfortable as the evil man downstairs.

So the man upstairs decided to go meet the one down so he can show him the way, while the one down also decided to go up to learn the good way. While the two of them were at the staircase, they fell down and died. Now, the two of them were judged based on their last resolves.

This goes to say that, yesterday's good cannot suffice for today.  You must carry your cross daily and follow Christ. It is a continuous daily walk. 

Do not be weary in well doing, because profiting only comes when you keep at it, when you faint not. Gal, 6:9. 

The Angel that spoke to John the Apostle, gave  us His final words in Revelation 22:11,that let him who is holy continue to be holy and let him who is righteous continue to be. However, he also said let the unrighteous continue to be. But the summary was given by Jesus in verse 12 ,when He said "Behold, I come quickly and my reward is with me to give to everyone according as his works shall be." 

You still have the chance to amend your ways today.

Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the works of the Lord, in as much as you know your reward is not in vain in Him. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Bible reading: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
