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...

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
