HUMILITY

Most people in life do not know how to be humble. They believe they are entitled to get certain things. They feel that they should always be seen and heard. They crave love, attention, and exaltation but the bible tells us that the people who exalt themselves will be humbled. Those who are humble will be exalted (Luke 14: 11).

Some people desire the best of everything and always put themselves before others. They think they are better than everyone and some people see it as confidence. While others see it as selfishness. The Bible proclaims that those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first(Luke 13:30). Then you have those who are having functions such as parties, dinners and weddings where they only invite the people with affluence and significance. They feel that those persons will be indebted to you and later return the favor; but where is the substantial benefit in this? Your substantial benefit is found and recieved when you invite those who can not repay you. Your blessings will flow and your reward is found in heaven with God almighty.

Jesus was the perfect example of humility. Why you may ask? Firstly, he was the son of God who willingly became poor so others could have riches in abundance in the heavens. Secondly, he became a man to draw all men to the father. Thirdly, he came into a sinful, dirty and perverted world for many reasons but the ones I can think of first are: to save us, show us how to live, give us direction to God and travel on a journey to show us that it is possible. Jesus came by humble beginnings so that no one could have a claim to Him. In other words Jesus came for everyone and it does not matter if you are rich or poor, black or white, or even from the north or the south. He was and still is available to all of us.

It is written in John 3: 16 that God so loves the world, and it did not specify, color, denominations, or nationality. Folks there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ, his only begotten son (John 14:6,John 8:32). Would you like to meet Him? Just go to the top of this blog, click on the salvation page and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you have ever done. To God be the glory, honor and praise. Thank you for using me as a vessel and giving me the ability to share this message to those who need it.

OUR BIGGEST ENEMY

Devil, I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in.

I must tell you this folks, the devil does not take vacations, but we all wish he did. Sometimes we all could use a break, but we must be sober, and vigilant, because the devil is like a roaring lion, walking around, looking for people to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

Well, if you’ve never been under attack by the devil then you know whose you are? and who your father is ( John 8:44). But, as Christians we don’t worry about the devil, because, “Greater is He, who is in us, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). You must understand, and realize that our faith is the God, who created this universe, which means we are serving the true, and living God; who sent His only begotten Son to save us (John 3:16, John 6:40, Philippians 1:9-11).

Let me break it down to you my friends. Without Faith, it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). The gift of faith is one of three power gifts, and every believer gets a measure of it (Romans 12:3). Faith my friends, cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Folks, you must understand that your prayers, will not be answered if you don’t believe, or know the only God, who answers prayers.  And, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is the only way to God (John 14:6, John 8:32). As I said before, without  faith it is impossible to please God. Now let me explain, what faith is. ”It is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen …it’s through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God (Hebrew 11:1-3). Stay with me, remember, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Listen to this, “For the word of God is quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul, and spirit, and of the joints, and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:12-16).

As a child of God, it’s a privilege to know that, God never slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:3-4), so faith in God allows us to go to sleep (Psalms 3:5-8).

Would you like to have this same, peace of mind, trust, and confidence in God, then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. You will die in your sins, if you don’t believe in Jesus (John 8:24). It will be the best decision you ever make.

I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me, to get His message out to His people. I pray that they will submit to His will, and ways, as I have in Jesus Name, amen.
