NECESSARY ADDITIONS 3

t : 2 Pet 1:6.

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

Today, we shall be looking at Patience as one of our necessary additions to faith.

Humans are impatient by nature. We want everything NOW. Instant noodles, instant camera, instant foods, readymade husband or wife and the list is endless. These are all means designed by man to satisfy his need of urgency.

The reason many end up in wrong marriages today is basically because of lack of patience,  a little more patience will save you from lots of troubles.

According to the English dictionary, patience is the willingness to wait for something if necessary; without  losing one's temper while waiting.

If he is the right person for you,  he will wait for you,  he wouldn't rush you into ungodly practices, ditto for the girl too.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: He that believeth shall not make haste. Isaiah 28:16.

Whenever you feel pressured to take a decision in a hurry,  be wise enough to pause and reconsider. Remember that he that believes does not make haste.

Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that those who follow this world system can't afford. You need to grow in this virtue and you need to allow the Spirit work out the fruit in you.

Without patience,  you do not have hope of receiving God's promise.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.Heb 10:36.

Bible Reading : 2 Peter 1:1-15.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
