MIRROR


Text: James 1:25.


 *But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.* 


 *No one looks into the mirror expecting to see the reflection of another person,  the word of God is like a mirror,  how much of yourself are you seeing there?* 


The word of God is a mirror. When you look into it, you are expected to see yourself and make ammendments. 


James 1:23&24 say, if anyone hears the word but is not obedient to it, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror,  and studies himself carefully, and then goes off and immediately forgets what he looks like.


On a norms, when you look at yourself in the mirror and noticed some imperfections be it in your dressing or your body, the normal thing to do is to right the wrongs. 


It will be sheer madness to look at yourself in the mirror and refused to make adjustments where such is obviously needed. 


Same goes for spiritual reflection. A number of times, when the word of God comes to you, there is a tendency to receive it for another person. 


That's why Jesus asked in Matthew 7:3 that  “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?


To look at yourself in the mirror of God's word and refused to make ammendments is simply to refuse to obey whatsoever He commands you.


For if anyone hears the word but is not obedient to it, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror.


The word of God is a mirror,  it shows you your wrong and shortcomings. Instead  of running from it, embrace it and receive grace to do all that it commands you.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father God, as I  look into the perfect law of liberty,  please give me the grace to see myself how you see me and align myself accordingly.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
