ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER

Text:  James 2:18.

But someone may say, “You have faith, and I have actions.” Show me your faith without any actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions.

 *If every Christian practices what the Bible teaches, this world would be a better place for all to live in.* Unfortunately, what we have is more of professing Christians than practicing Christians.

From the name, a professing Christian is anyone who claims to be a Christian without being Christ-like in actions or behavior. A practicing Christian is what we are called to be. A Christ-like individual who practices what he preaches or what the Bible preaches.

Have you ever encountered professing Christians before, with their very appalling character? They make you wonder what type of Jesus they follow.

A true Christian is not known by how long he prays and neither is he known by how frequently he goes to church. A Christian is known by his 
lifestyle in the neighborhood, at his place of work, and among families and friends.

This is why Matthew 5:16 says let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Your light is seen through your actions which speaks louder and better than what you professed. When your actions are in conformity with God's commands (which are summarized in loving your neighbor as yourself), men will perceive the sweet aroma of your life and will feel the nudge to want to know and follow your God.

Don't forget that faith without works (actions) is dead. Show your faith through your actions because action speaks louder than voice.

 *BIBLE READING* 

James 2:14-26.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God, I receive the grace to obey your words that my life may produce good fruit in Jesus name.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
