SCRIP-BITS

For any organization or group to succeed, there must be a coming together of minds and ideas, and the following of one general plan, otherwise chaos will eventually take over. And unfortunately, that's what's happening in the body called Christ's church. We are supposed to be ONE, but we are so disunited and disunified that we're of not much use in the spiritual battle we're supposed to be waging against the enemy of Satan and his group of evil doers. And it must be heartbreaking for Christ to see all His sacrifices going in vain as we refuse to take up our crosses daily and sincerely follow Him. Please friends, let's develop a grateful conscience and sincerely get together so that we can fight the good fight for Christ, as we're supposed to do! Much LOVE!

There are no easy steps in this earthly life, that means we all face troubles and trials, disappointments and disillusions, as we try to walk a careful life. And those times of despair can hit us real hard, and if we're not careful even drive us to harming ourselves. But fortunately that's never the right approach to the situation. And why should it be when we have our great Friend, Comforter and Caregiver Jesus Christ always ready to fill the missing link in our lives. Yes my people, Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother, the One who understands our every care and concern, because He also experienced what we're going through. So, please, let's be wise and turn to Jesus in all our problems, for as the song so rightly says: 'No One understands like Jesus!' Much LOVE!

Man's life on earth is tough and also short. That means we have to use it to the best of our ability; make the most of the opportunities that come our way, especially that wonderful opportunity to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, and be assured of salvation and eternal life, for that's the best option we have! Satan has nothing good to offer us, but the Lord gave us free will so that we could choose. So please, let's be wise and do as Moses told the Israelites, choose life, or Jesus Christ, so that we and our children may live forever! Much LOVE!

Simply put, life is a battle, fought on the battlefield of our minds. That means all the people out there are fighting to control our minds, to control what we think, talk about and therefore do. Now there are all sorts of evil and ungodly powers and people involved in this battle for supremacy over our minds, but basically it breaks down to a battle between Satan's cronies and those of Jesus. And the wise money is on Jesus. That means we must use the spiritual weapons provided by Him, along with the Word of God to help us stay on the straight and narrow. Remember all Satan has to offer are lies and deceptions, with no substance to his arguments. So if we want to end up with Jesus, then we have to put our best foot forward and use all the tools Jesus has given us to overcome the enemy! Much LOVE!

God has made preparation for all of our needs from the time we're born to the time He takes us home. But we have to read His Word and listen to His Holy Spirit to understand what's necessary for us to get all we are entitled to. And thus, it also behooves us to give God thanks and praise for His wonderful attention to our needs, both our everyday needs like food and shelter, but also our needs in the life to come, that's salvation through belief in His Son Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on Calvary's Hill that we could be washed clean by that same sinless blood. That means we owe Him a whole lot, which we can never repay. But He doesn't want repayment as such, He just desires our obedience, our LOVE, our thanks and praise! Now is that too much to ask for all He's given us? Certainly not! Much LOVE!

Life is made good or bad by the words we speak to each other. We can speak either pleasant and uplifting words, or unpleasant and hurting ones. But as Christians, we need to focus on good and pleasant words, because that's the example Jesus set for us during His sojourn here on earth, and it's the example He expects us to follow. However, Beelzebub is so powerful on the earth these days that he's leading us to use evil and deceitful words, words that are ungodly, strife-filled, bitter, envious and chaos causing. But we believers need to push back, and push back hard against that evil doing, if we intend to make a positive difference in the here and now. And we can certainly do it, if we all get together and march as one. Remember, there's power in unity! Much LOVE!

In this evil and ungodly world, it's necessary for Christians to know bits of useful scripture that they can learn and speak out loud to help them in their everyday Christian walk. These acclamations as we call them, boost our spirits and strengthen our belief in Christ by giving us confidence in the Word of God and His many promises. They allow us to quell whatever fear(s) crop up as we journey along in life, and help us to adopt a good and right attitude to our situations. So, let's learn these useful bits of scripture and keep repeating them, so that we can build our confidence in Christ. Much LOVE!

Our Triune God is made up of three people, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son to save the world by dying on the cross at Calvary, then rising on Easter Sunday. Then when the Son returned to heaven to be seated at His right hand and intercede for us, the Father sent the Holy Spirit, as He had promised a long time ago, to dwell in the hearts of believers, so that He could remind them of Jesus' words and works and lead them in a godly direction. But like the Father, the Holy Spirit does not intrude on our free will. He gives advice, but it's up to us to accept and follow it. And only if and when we take Him seriously will we be able to make a positive and productive difference in this evil and ungodly world! Much LOVE!

Simply put friends, without the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross of Calvary on Good Friday, we would still be headed straight for purgatory or hellfire and damnation; eternal separation from Almighty God! For without the shedding of blood, sinless blood like Christ's no permanent atonement is possible. But Christ, through His selfless sacrifice, changed all that, and brought us back to the Father, justifying reconciling, forgiving, sanctifying etc. etc. so that we could be once again called children of the Most High God. Please, let's recognize the blood's importance in our faith and treat it with the holiness and respect it deserves! Much LOVE!

The Old Testament is basically a foreshadowing of the New Testament. Thus a lot of stuff, like promises and prophecy can be found in the Old Testament and be fulfilled or manifested in the New. From the beginning of the Bible, the appearance of Jesus on earth was prophesied and spoken of as the coming of the Messiah. So it's not strange to find Old Testament verses reflected or referenced in the New Testament. Jesus did it Himself when He stood up in His hometown of Nazareth to read from the scroll of Isaiah 61 ( Luke 4:21) So, it's very important that believers know that to understand the New Testament, a good knowledge of the Old Testament is also necessary. Much LOVE!

In this life we never know what trials and tribulations might come against us, or when, but one thing is certain, if we stay attached and surrendered to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, He will eventually turn our circumstances around. And if He doesn't, for whatever reason we may not like, or understand, He will most certainly help us to bear our burdens with a good attitude. And I know that we don't like to go through tough times, but that's just the way of the world, and being a disciple of Christ means forsaking ourselves for His cause. It's not easy, but if we hang tight, the rewards will outweigh the troubles. So let's keep hanging tight to Christ! Much LOVE!

Ah friends, evil has overtaken our world, and that evil hides itself in darkness, so that it's deeds cannot be known, and keeps all evil doers in that darkness. But Jesus came to earth that we could escape that evil darkness and have the light of eternal life through His death and resurrection. And isn't it wonderful to know that we now have another option besides the evil darkness of Satan? Surely! But the problem is that if want to escape the evil darkness of Beelzebub, we have to come to the Light, to receive Jesus and all that He has to offer, it won't automatically come to us. The Lord gave us free will, hoping that we would choose His will, and He won't intrude on our choice. So it's completely up to us to make the choice. And wisdom dictates that Jesus is the better of the two options, so please let's be wise and choose Him nuh! Choose the Light of the world! Much LOVE!

The world is evil and ungodly, we all know that, but in Christ we can make both good individual and worldwide changes. However, the individual change must come before the worldwide one, where believers must put on the new man in Christ; that's accept Christ's new godliness and way of living, while putting aside their old, evil and ungodly lifestyle. It's either one or the either, there's no sitting on the fence, you're either new fashioned in Christ, or old fashioned in the devil. And sadly, those are the only two options we have, so please, let's be wise and choose to live the new life in Jesus nuh! Much LOVE!

Life is a complex affair, and the Christian faith, is no different. Though we can come to faith quite easily, because it's the gift of God, we then need to work out our own salvation, that's live the way Christ desires His followers to live. We need to learn Christ's word, study it, and then put it tinto action in our lives, meaning we need to grow up, like children, who first begin by drinking milk, then as they get older begin eating solid food. Likewise as we grow in our Christian faith, we must be able to handle bigger things, become more mature in our faith, for that's the only way to truly understand what the Christian life is all about and thus live it successfully. Much LOVE!

There is only ONE way to true success, and that's by doing what the Lord says in His Word. Read your Bible, study it, and then put what it says into action! It's as simple as that! And yes, that's not always easy to do, but if we truly want to do it, with the Lord's help, we certainly can. But it all begins with us, sincerely wanting to live right in this ungodly and evil world. And yes, the powers of evil will push against us, but let's remember that greater is He that's in us, than he that is in the world! Yes friends, Jesus is greater than Satan any day, and twice on Sundays! So let's wake up and begin seriously living for Jesus! Much LOVE!

Friends, if Jesus did not do what He's done in a rather selfless manner, we would not have salvation and eternal life right now. Therefore it's utterly important to recognize His overwhelming importance in the scheme of things, and give Him His rightful praise and glory. The Father recognized it and exalted him to the loftiest heights possible, likewise we should exalt His holy name, and not just with words, but more importantly with action; sincere action, so that others can come to know, LOVE and revere Him like we do. That's the ultimate test of our faith! Much LOVE!

If Christ is our End All and Be All, then we need to do whatever He says, and live the way He desires of us. Otherwise, we will not be showing others that we are His sincere followers. And that, unfortunately, will diminish and destroy all that Jesus has worked so hard and suffered so much to accomplish. It's utterly important that those who follow a Leader, obey His rules and abide by His commands. And in Jesus' organization, that means LOVING each other the way that He first LOVED us. What a joy it would be if we stopped our infighting and petty squabbles and simply live for Jesus...in LOVE and obedience like He desires us of! Much LOVE!

If we consider the Lord our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, then it's of the utmost importance that we obey them as soon as possible. Remember that obedience put off till we feel like doing it is still disobedience in the Lord's eyes. It's necessary that we do His bidding in the least possible time frame, or in other words; when He asks us, and how He asks us. Doing it in our time and way won't cut it, we'll still be considered disobedient and pay whatever price is necessary. And there's always a price to be paid for disobedience. Let's remember that! Much LOVE!

Oh friends our world is in a sad state, and the only way we can handle it, or whatever comes against us, is by having Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, for Satan, our other choice as leader, doesn't have a single good thing to offer; nothing but hell, death and the grave. Meanwhile, when Jesus died on Good Friday then rose again on Easter Sunday, he throttled Satan and all his kingdom. Thus He became the winner of the battle between good and evil. Now, if we are wise, and use the free will that God gave us, we will indeed choose Christ over Beelzebub; life over death! That's wisdom for the ages! Much LOVE!

Good Friday determined that our sins were paid for, while Easter Sunday and Christ's resurrection ensured that all those who believe in Him will also rise again from the dead and have eternal life, spend eternity with Him. And if that isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, I don't know what is! And also, if each and every one of us don't rise to the situation and receive Christ as Lord and Saviour, then wisdom has certainly passed us by, because the only other option is spending eternity in hellfire with Satan. And that certainly is no treat to look forward to. So please, let us attain unto wisdom and seek to unite with Christ, for the long term! Much LOVE!

Ah friends, Easter is one of the most important times in our Christian calendar, but do we really understand what happened two thousand years ago, and truly appreciate it? Not all of us. Two basic things happened: Christ died on Good Friday to pay for our sins, then He was rose from the dead on Easter Sunday! Those two things gave us forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. But we have things to do to make them happen. And that's what we all need to know. Salvation and Eternal Life don't happen automatically. We have to seek them out. So let's wake up and do that nuh! It's wisdom of the ages! Much LOVE!

In this world, we can either do too much or too little of anything. The important thing though is to find a comfortable balance in most of what we do. That includes our diet, our work and play, our fitness, as well as our time with God. The latter being possibly the most important of them all. But it's ever so much better for us when our ying and yang aline and keep us free to enjoy our lives without too much anxiety, tension and stress. The problem here is that only the individual can regulate their lives to find the right balance, no one else can do it for us. We set our schedules, so we are the ones to prioritize our actions. Let's make it a habit to bring balance to our lives! Much LOVE!

Oh friends, we all know that someday we'll die and our bodies will be buried and return to the dust from which they were made, but our spirits will still be alive and either go to heaven or hell, depending on whom we believe in, Jesus or Satan. And the only reason why heaven is even an option for us is because Jesus died on Good Friday to pay for our sins, then rose from the grave, three days later, on Easter Sunday. That satisfied the demands of the Father for reconciliation with Him. Before Jesus died, He promised that whoever believes in Him will never die, that's spiritually, but have eternal life with Him. So, since Jesus rose from the dead, it means that all who believe in Him will do the same. That's how important Christ's resurrection is to our well being. So please let's take advantage of it, because it's the best option we have! Much LOVE!

A lot of the Old Testament speaks to Christ's coming in the New Testament. None more so than Isaiah's prophetic words of the Servant of the Lord found in chapter 53. It might be spoken in old fashioned Old Testament language, but there's no misunderstanding that it refers to Christ's coming and all the wonderful work He will do on our behalf, as well as all the 'sufferation' He would undergo to pay for our abominable sins. But the deed has already been done, that means, if we are wise, we can now access salvation and eternal life on the work of Jesus! Please, let's be wise on this Holy Saturday and accept Jesus with open arms! Much LOVE!

We all talk about atonement and payment for sins, but do we know how that was really accomplished? Only by Christ suffering and dying on the cross at Calvary on Good Friday for us! That's how we can talk about forgiveness of sin. The Father required Christ's sinless life to pay for our abominable transgressions. And if we had any decency and /or common sense, we'd be paying much more attention to Christ's desires and commands, because it's only through His death that our sins can be forgiven as a whole. And only when we personally believe in Him and behave in a totally appropriate manner that our individual sins can be forgiven. Thus it behooves us to wake up and start living sincerely for Christ, if we desire to see good days and long life! Much LOVE!

Maundy Thursday gave us several things in our faith. First, Jesus inspired our ceremony of holy communion when He broke bread and offered it, along with wine to the disciples in recognition of His broken body and shed blood that would happen the next day, Good Friday. Then He washed the disciples' feet setting an example that we ought to follow, meaning being proud to be sometimes servants and not simply always desirous of being lords. Then the example of His poignant prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, where His spirit was in agony of the forthcoming crucifixion, There Jesus showed His human side, but also His godly side when He accepted that the Father's will must be done. And lastly, where Judas shows up with a band of soldiers and betrays Jesus with a prearranged sign, a kiss, that led to Him being arrested and taken to the chief priest's house. Maundy Thursday is thus a very important day in our faith! Much LOVE!

Too many of us supposed Christians say one thing then do something else. That's not right! That's why Jesus called the Pharisees 'hypocrites.' They desired the people to do things that they did not do themselves, teaching man's traditions more than God's law. And it's exactly what's happening in our world today. Hypocrisy is rife and rampant as Satan and his evil doers rule the roost, while we supposed Christians, cower in fear and shame and comfort, instead of fighting the good fight of Christ. But one day friends, if we don't soon improve our behaviour, our chickens will all come home to roost, and like the Israelites of old, we'll hold our heads and bawl, why me! Be warned, Let him who has ears to hear...hear! Much LOVE!

Friends, God created us out of a desire to have strong and faithful communion with us, and consequently showered His great, unconditional LOVE upon us. He wanted creatures to communicate with, so He decided to create a being in His own image, with His breath of life flowing through it. Now, if the Lord in His omniscience, who knows everything, decided to go through with this creation business, fully knowing that we would eventually rebel, and yet He still did it, that could only mean one thing; that He values us very highly; LOVES us with a LOVE so faithful and true that with our puny and lesser minds, we cannot understand it. But like everything else in His kingdom, we must first believe it before we see it. That's called faith. Much LOVE!

Christianity is based on LOVE: the LOVE of God the Father, and the LOVE of Jesus Christ! That means we believers need to be also filled with LOVE and walking in LOVE! And LOVE means SACRIFICE! Yes, you cannot LOVE without sacrificing something for someone, even for yourself. And that's where we are falling down in this generation; we're too comfortable and entitled to give up anything for anyone, but yet we call ourselves believers in Christ Jesus. Hogwash! You cannot truly believe in Christ until you're prepared to take up your cross everyday and follow Him. So please, let's stop talking LOVE and begin living it nuh, like we ought to be doing from day one! Much LOVE!

When we come to Palm Sunday, which tells of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we know that Lent is winding down and our saddest and most joyful days, that's Good Friday and Easter Sunday are right ahead of us. That means we cannot let the sorrow of the crucifixion overwhelm and sadden us, because right behind it is the very foundation of our faith, Christ's momentous and monumental resurrection! It's the very bedrock of what we believe, and without that resurrection there would have been no salvation or eternal life. So let's stand strong in this Holy Week, waiting eagerly for the fireworks of next Sunday! Much LOVE!

Prayer is of the utmost importance in a believer's life, but not every prayer is answered for one reason or another. Most of them though that are not in the Lord's will seem to go unanswered, that's because the Lord only desires to answer prayers that will manifest His holy will, not all the lustful and carnal stuff that so many of us pray for. And even when we pray in His will, according to His timing, the prayer can be set aside for a later time. But that ought not to stop us from growing in faith and continually persevering in prayer. Remember Christ said to ask, seek and knock, for it's only through persistence will many of our wishes be granted. Let's listen to Christ...for a change. Much LOVE!

All of us have some sort of pride in our deeds and talents and thus at times boast about them. However friends, boasting is not something the Lord likes or desires of His followers, unless our boast is about Him! What makes it even worse is when we boast of things we're going to do without any consultation with or input from Almighty God. Remember our lives are rather short and can be quickly and unexpectedly extinguished, so it's ever important to have God involved in ALL of our decisions. And it's what the Lord Himself expects and desires. He created us for companionship, and that He could participate in even the smallest details of our lives, thus making decisions without consulting Him is a serious no-no. That means ignoring the devil's sarcastic attitude and bravely and wisely involving God in all of our decisions! Much LOVE!

We all have a sin-based nature, which drives us toward fleshly or carnal lusts and desires, but when we become believers in Christ, we need to put away those carnal desires and begin walking with the guidance of the Holy Spirit which then comes to live within us. It also means that we have to get rid of all the old baggage we have, for with Christ everything becomes new. Unfortunately, that means not doing some things we used to do, or associating with some people we formerly associated with. But it's all for our good, for those old ways of behaviour and old associates will just drag us back down into the mire of carnality from which we've just escaped. So we need to look after ourselves, and be careful of our behaviour and our associates, if we want to be true believers in Christ Jesus! Much LOVE!

God is our Creator and Controller, and like all who create and control, they lay down rules and regulations for their followers to live by. It's the very same with our great God Jehovah! He's set our rules and regulations in His Word for us to live by. And if we do that faithfully, then our lives will be much better than if we don't. And we can't live by the rules unless we know them, and we can't know them unless we continually read and study them. That's the ONLY way to have success in God's kingdom. And God said so in several places in His Word, and if you read and study and live by it, you will also be prosperous and have good success! Much LOVE!

Just like any Leader, the Lord has rules and regulations that He expects His followers to abide by. And just like when we disobey society's laws, we pay a price, likewise when we disobey God's laws, there is a price to pay. Our disobedience is called sin, and the penalty for sin is death; unless you are living under the umbrella of Christ's payment for all sin, made with the sacrifice of His sinless life on the cross of Calvary. It's to our benefit that we remember that the Lord does not make empty promises, and we will pay for any disobedience we commit. However, He has provided ways and means under the auspices of Christ for forgiveness and redemption of our sin, and if we are wise, we will grab hold of it asap! Much LOVE!

It's a hard but simple fact that one cannot be a Christian unless one believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And that belief is the ONLY thing that will get you on the straight and narrow path that leads to heaven. Without sincere belief in Christ Jesus all is lost. You are automatically headed for the fires of hell, joining the evil one, Satan in everlasting punishment and separation from the One and ONLY true, living God, Jehovah! Thus, it behooves us to understand the serious ramifications that are associated with believing in Christ, for if we don't, we'll pay an enormous price for our disobedience. Let him who has ears to hear...hear! Much LOVE!

It's a topsy-turvy world, with us just spinning within it, like an out of control top, with sins and temptations that keep bombarding us relentlessly. But there's an antidote for that malady; faith in Christ Jesus, for He is the sinner's friend. That's why he came to earth; to set the captive sinners free from their sin debt. He took all of our sins on His strong and sinless shoulders so we could be set free from the scourge of Satan. And there's no need to hide or be afraid to come to Him, because He's always there awaiting your sincere call for help. So today, please, please come boldly to His throne of grace, so that He can clean you up and take you into His house, and LOVE your forever! Much LOVE!

God is our Creator and Sustainer, therefore we must communicate with Him in some form and fashion, and He calls that way prayer. Now, prayer doesn't need to be long and fancy but more heartfelt than anything else. And the good thing about prayer is that our God is only a prayer away. We can instantly communicate with Him with no waiting, and provided that what we're asking is within His will, He will more than likely give it to us, just in His time. (smile) And that's the toughest thing about prayer; waiting for God to answer our request. And remember no answer, doesn't automatically mean 'NO.' It can also mean 'WAIT.' The important thing though is to be always in constant communication with our great and wonderful God, through the wonderful privilege of prayer. Much LOVE!

Oh friends, life is never easy, but as true believers in Christ Jesus, we are expected to have a certain amount of belly and backbone that will keep us from complaining unnecessarily about life's troubles. And it's not so much that we complain, but it's how we complain and what we complain about. In today's world complaining is rampant, and over very small and petty issues, meaning that most of our complaints are worthless and sinful. So please, let's wake up and realize that we're only damaging ourselves by our constant complaining over worthless issues! Much LOVE!

The Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth is the most omnipotent and powerful being in the universe. He had to be great, to be all powerful, to do the things He's done down through the ages. And unless we believers sincerely believe that, we'll be in for an even tougher time than normal on this earth. For things will get real bad if you don't believe that God can take you out of undesirable situations, even those that you got yourself into. So please, let's believe with all our hearts, bodies and souls that to God, all things are possible. That's wisdom for the ages! Much LOVE!

It's very simple friends; if we forgive those that do us wrong, we also get forgiven for our wrongdoings. However, if we don't forgive, then we won't be forgiven by our heavenly Father either. So it's simple common sense that if we desire God's forgiveness then we must be forgiving to our earthly brothers! It couldn't get any simpler or plainer than that. And Jesus spent a lot of time trying to get that simple equation into our stubborn and hard-hearted hearts. But we still practice unforgiveness while seeking forgiveness. How foolish! Let's learn that it takes two to tango, and one hand washes the other! Much LOVE!

Without hope we are like the undead; alive, but not functioning as though we are. It's hope and faith that keep us going through all the rough times of this life. We need to believe in something bigger than ourselves when we find ourselves too small and powerless to handle our many problems. And that's where hope and faith come in, through our Christian beliefs. Christ is our Guide and Leader, our Anchor in the times of storm, the Giver of Eternal Life, through whom we have pass to get to God the Father. Now all of that doesn't just arrive in our souls and spirits and stay there. No, we have to invite Christ into our lives, then work with hope and faith in the scriptures to keep Him in first place! For if He isn't, then everything around us will soon crumble and fall, and we'll be left high and dry, like an abandoned ship on the shore. And we certainly don't want that, so let's be wise and keep Christ first place in our lives! Much LOVE!

We are all searching for wisdom, but so many of us are searching for it in the wrong places. And where should wisdom be sought eh? Wisdom, true wisdom begins and ends with God, with Hs Word and in His sanctuary. What the world terms wisdom these days is utter rot, for most of it has nothing to do with Almighty God, and if it doesn't have to do with God, then it cannot be wisdom. True wisdom though has EVERYTHING to do with God. So please, let's apply ourselves unto wisdom nuh, by studying His Word and fellowshipping with other believers in His sanctuary! Much LOVE!

Life is rough and tough, as Jesus tells us, but we can soften some of those rough edges if we completely surrender our lives to Him, because He has the wherewithal to help us do so, especially since He has already overcome the world, through His death, resurrection and ascension. And that's the best way to live this life; totally surrendered to Jesus, so He can lead and guide us in the paths of righteousness, lead us beside the still waters, and restore our souls, as well as prepare a table before us in the presence of our mortal enemies! Wow! No one else can do all of that my brethren, so please let's get wise and surrender to Jesus. It's the best decision we'll ever make! Much LOVE!

The major attribute of our God is LOVE; therefore His followers ought to be showing that attribute, at least to each other in spades, and as Jesus expects, showing it also to those who don't believe, so that they might believe. But if Christ's organization, His church is in a state of such disarray that His followers are fighting amongst each other, rather than living in LOVE as Christ desires, then it's obvious the organization will not be a welcoming sight to others, and we will be killing the very thing that Christ died to do; to bring ALL to the knowledge and LOVE of God. That will then make His 'sufferation' and sinless sacrifice a wasted effort. Now, do we want to have that on our consciences? Certainly not! So please, let's wake up and get our act together nuh. We know exactly what we need to do, so please let's start doing it, so Christ can receive some much needed glory, instead of the plenty shame He's receiving right now because of our terrible efforts at discipleship! Much LOVE!

Contrary to what we think, the Lord doesn't tell us to do stuff for Hie benefit, but for ours. He already owns everything and can do whatever He wants. However we are the sheep of His flock and need to do what we're told, and not half-heartedly or partially either, but with full reverence and total obedience. And yes, sometimes it's difficult to do all the Lord asks, but remember, He never asks or tells us to do anything without giving us the grace, the anointing to do it. But because of our laziness and fear of the world, we don't always come up to scratch, but remember what happened to Saul when he disobeyed; he lost his kingship. And when we don't do as expected of us , we also put ourselves in jeopardy of losing important things. So please, lets' wake up and smell the coffee and give the Lord full and sincere reverence, with total obedience in everything. That's the wisdom of the ages! Much LOVE!

God is our Creator and Controller, and if we have any sense of the power and wisdom that's been put into the creation of our universe, we'd continually praise the One who created it and us! Yes friends, there's nothing as stimulating, mind-bending and awe-inducing as the great universe in which we live. Nothing else is as refined and works as smoothly as God's universe, until we foolish humans come and destroy that unique and wonderful interconnectivity that exists amongst all God's creations. Mankind is the only foolish creation that disturbs the smooth and well-oiled, well-tuned running of the universe. But if we are smart, we will stop fooling with it, as climate change is warning us, and instead begin praising God for His awesome wonders! That way we might have a better chance for survival on the earth. Much LOVE!

If we believe in Christ Jesus, then it means we must behave in a certain manner, basically the way He behaved; that's LOVING, compassionate, doing His Father's will, etc. etc. Thus we cannot be hanging out with the wrong crowd, doing the things that go against God's law, otherwise we will end up like the evildoers and perish. As true believers we need to keep good company, people who truly desire to do God's will and actually do it, not merely talk it. Then we will be supernaturally blessed. God must always be first place in our lives, if we ever desire to be called a man after His own heart. That's the bottom line friends! Much LOVE!

This world is filled to the brim with evil, and we are the ones, believers in Christ Jesus who have been given the task of reducing that evil, by winning souls for Christ. But how can we win souls for Christ when we don't do the necessary work, or behave like we ought to eh? We simply can't! That's why it's oh so necessary for all those who claim to believe in Jesus to get up and do the assignments which they were given. And each one of us has a ministry to which we were called, be it from the pulpit, the palace or the pit. Wherever we are, we ought to be speaking of the goodness and mercy of Christ and showing it in our behaviour. Otherwise we are behaving just like the heathen, and not worthy to be called believers in Christ! Much LOVE!

The beginning of anything is always the most important aspect of any procedure, for if the start is not good, then the rest of it will most likely suffer some unnecessary setback(s). That's why a Monday should always be a believer's best day, since we're supposed to be starting it out with a fresh, well rested attitude. But if we begin tired and grumpy, then the rest of the week will probably crumble even further. Therefore it's so important for us to get enough rest and spiritual restoration on the weekend so we can begin our week on the right foot and thus give Jesus much more glory than we're currently doing. So, if we truly LOVE Him, then let's do better nuh. Much LOVE!
