WALK WORTHY 3

Text:Ephesians 4:1

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

The second virtue that  the Lord demands of us  for a worthy walk unto our calling is meekness. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ described himself as one who is meek and lowly in heart, and He asked that we should learn of him.

Meekness is of the heart, it is the mildness of disposition or gentleness of spirit. As a true learner (disciple) of Jesus Christ, meekness is a virtue through which you will inherit the earth. 
Matthew 5:5 says, *"Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5.* To inherit the earth means many things, and one of these is having great influence over this earth. 

Moses in his own generation was a very meek man and he was able to confront the  strongest power of the world in his days - Egypt.

 _Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth_ .(Numbers 12:3).

The result of Moses' meekness was that the Lord fought for him even against his own brother and sister. *A meek man is not a weak man, but a man who has submitted himself and his strength under God's control.* Meek men are more powerful than the proud and arrogant even though they could appear as  weak and defenceless.

When Aaron and Miriam stood and spoke against Moses, the Lord Himself rose and fought for him.(Numbers 12). When Dathan, Korah and Abiram stood vehemently against Moses' leadership, it was the Lord who fought for Him.(Number 16).

God is always the defender of a meek man.
May you receive grace to be a true learner of Jesus Christ who is  meek and lowly one. (Amen).

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...
