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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
