HOW LONG

How long are you going to keep sinning,and say God understands ? When He clearly says,
” Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother” {1 John 3:4-10 }.
LISTEN :
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.{I John 1:8-10}
How long are you going to let the devil entice you,to keep sinning,is he your father?
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
[John 8:34-36, 44-47 ]
STOP BEING A SLAVE TO SIN:
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord , choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .”
[Joshua 24:15 ]

THINGS THAT WILL SEND YOU TO HELL

​

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.{1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11}

LISTEN:

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord  are these.’ “For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. “Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, ” says the Lord . “But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works,” says the Lord , “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren— the whole posterity of Ephraim. “Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they  pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Do they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord . “ Do  they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?” Therefore thus says the Lord God : “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.”[Jeremiah 7:3‭-‬20]

THINK POSITIVE 

​Thoughts & Beliefs

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.{Philippians 4:8‭-‬9}

Then Proverb 24:7 reminds us that,

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

Mark 11:23 

…and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said. 

+What you allow yourself to continue to think about you will eventually believe.  

+What you believe you will eventually exercise faith in. 

+And what you continue to exercise faith in will eventually materialized in your life. 

+Remember it all starts with Thoughts and Beliefs. 

+Let the Word of God be your meditation day and night. You will eventually developed a strong Belief, Faith, Trust and Conviction in the Word of God. 

+ And finally you will demonstrate the kind of faith that will make you prosper and have good success. 

Our mindset should be God said it,I believe it,and that settles it.

LISTEN:

3 John 1:2 

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as your soul prospers. 

+If you are sick God wants you HEALED, and if you are in good health God DOES NOT want you sick. 

Jeremiah 30:17 

For I will restore HEALTH unto you, and I will HEAL you of your wounds…

Psalm 107:20 

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 

Deuteronomy 34:7 

And Moses was a 120 years old when he died: his eye was not dim (perfect vision), nor his natural (body) force abated (lessen, reduce or decreased). 

+May the Good Lord bless us all with good health and strength as He did with Moses. Hallelujah!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

EYES TO SEE,YET BLIND

​If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.(2 Corinthians 4:3‭-‬7)

EVIL AND HATEFUL PEOPLE ,are walking in darkness,the Bible says,

“And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining. If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble. But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness. I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus. I am writing to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I am writing to you who are young in the faith because you have won your battle with the evil one. I have written to you who are God’s children because you know the Father. I have written to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong. God’s word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one. Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever”. [1 John 2:3‭-‬17 ]

2 Corinthians 4:4

In whom the god of this world has BLINDED the MINDS of them which BELIEVE NOT…

+Remember the devil (Satan) uses doubt, unbelief, etc as a means to blind the minds of individuals when it comes to the things pertaining to Christ and the Kingdom of God. 

 Romans 1:28 

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND, to do those things which are not convenient. 

+As for those who rejected and the things of God out of their minds God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND.  

+A REPROBATE MIND is a sinful, wicked, evil, unrighteous and unholy mind that is destined to damnation. 

+It is detrimental to our existence NOT to retain God in our minds. 

+Again we shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall MAKE us FREE. 

Isaiah 26:3-4

3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. 

4 Trust in the LORD forever: for in the LORD GOD is everlasting strength: 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS 

​What kind of news,are you spreading? Will it encourage or bless someone? Will it build or tear down?

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! {Isaiah 52:7}.

Jesus’s birth was good news over two thousand years ago,and it’s still good news today to those who want to be delivered,and set free from the curse of death and hell.

LISTEN:

“But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” {Luke 2:10‭-‬14}

Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate your festivals, O people of Judah, and fulfill all your vows, for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again. They will be completely destroyed! [Nahum 1:15].

Uplift someone today with some good news,kill the gossip that will hurt someone.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 

4 In whom the god of this world has BLINDED the MINDS of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, Who is the Image of God, should shine unto them. 

+A BLINDED MIND is more difficult to deal with than BLINDED EYES. 

+Why are some people’s MIND BLINDED? The Word of God says because they BELIEVED NOT the Glorious Gospel of Christ. 

+The principle here is that Doubt, Unbelief, Lack of Faith, etc are all symptoms of a BLINDED MIND. 

+Keep in mind that the god of this world (satan, the devil) uses  Doubt, Unbelief, Lack of Faith, etc to BLIND the MINDS of many individuals.  

John 8:32 

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

+Thank God we are FREE in our Minds because we have the MIND of Christ.  

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

NO POINT IN WORRYING 

I don’t worry,and I don’t fret,because God never fails me yet. When you stand on His word and promises,then all worry and fear will disappear.

Here is one of His promises,I live by:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?   Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?   Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:   And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.   Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?   Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?   (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.   But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.{Matthew 6:25‭-‬34}

Then I back it up with,”Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you”{Philippians 4:6‭-‬9}

The key to not worrying is to do this: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord , and depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.  Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine”.[Proverbs 3:5‭-‬10]

God sees things different 

​The Value System of God

-Little is much when God is in it. Little is much when your heart is in it. Little is much when it is your all, and much will be little without God at all.  

Mark 12:41-44 The widow’s two mites was little, but Jesus said she gave more than the others because it was her all. 

-When you give out of sacrifice it adds value to your giving. 

In  2Corinthians 9:6-8 we see that, when you give cheerfully and give from the heart it adds value to your giving.  

-When you give out of love for others and especially out of love for God it adds value to your giving. 

-The return for your giving by the Value System of God is One Hundredfold, Good Measure, Pressed Down, Shaken Together and Running Over to the point where you shall not have room enough to receive it. 

God tells us to prove Him,and see if He don’t back up His word.  “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.  Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.  And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts”.[Malachi 3:8‭-‬12 ]

+++Blessed we are and blessed we will always be and to God be all our Lord Jesus Christ be all the glory. Amen!

WHO DO YOU REPRESENT 

​Wherever we go, whatever we do, and whatever we say, we must always be an Excellent Representation of Christ.  

Genesis 1:27 

So God created man in his Own Image, in the Image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 

Acts 17:28 

For in Him (Christ / God) we live, and move, and have our being…

+How can we Represent Christ in Excellence at all times?

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,  Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

{Philippians 2:1‭-‬11 }

REMEMBER 

Philippians 4:13 

We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. 

Philippians 3:13 

For it is God Who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. 

Daniel 6:3 

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an EXCELLENT SPIRIT was in him…

+The Holy Spirit is in us. Therefore we are of an EXCELLENT SPIRIT. 

+Be led by the Spirit. Pray in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit for the glory of God. Alleluia!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

DON’T GIVE IT AWAY,SO EASY

​LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast all of you your pearls before swine, lest they  trample them under their feet, and return and rend you. {Matthew 7:6}

The Exegesis/interpretation is:

Give not that which is holy unto the unholy, neither give your precious and valuable substance to the ungrateful and thankless, less they abuse, misuse and walk on them as dirt and return to rend you (or rip your heart) by doing the same thing all over again.Always handle your Kingdom business with Kingdom Wisdom. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
