GOOD WORKS

Text : Ephesians 2:10  

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

 *We live in a hurting world. A number of people you see on the streets are wounded souls capable of wounding others.* 

We have many children today who are been wounded emotionally, and psychologically by their wounded parents.

This endless cycle of hurts is the devil's master plan to keep mankind in perpetual damaged state. A damaged, wounded parent will give birth to an innocent child, but because of his or her imbalanced state of mind, he ends up damaging and wounding this innocent child who will in turn grow up to be wounded parents ready to inflict injury on his or her children, either knowingly or unknowingly. 

To break free from this vicious cycle, an encounter with Jesus is the only way out. 

Regardless of how damaged you are and Regardless of who was responsible for the damage, once you encounter Jesus, He will not only heal you of your hurt, He will also give you the grace to be a source of healing to another. 

This is why you are created - *you have been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, it's time to live up to your calling.*

Imagine, God had ordained you (long before now) to perform good works.

Little wonder Acts 10:38 says, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about *doing good* , and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 

Jesus has left us an example of how His disciples should live here on earth. He expects you to be a shining light in a world full of darkness. 

He expects you to be a healing balm to to the hurting world around you, and eventually, nations of the earth will feel the healing hand of God.

Don't add to the aches and pains that is prevalent already in our world, instead, be the reason why someone is truly happy. 

Bible reading: Ephesians 2:1-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, help me to indeed be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that people might see my good works and give glory to you.

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...
