STANDARDS-HIGH OR LOW

Are your standards high or low. Standards is how you rate or grade yourself, how is yours? Is it high or low? Is it based, founded or established on your education, fame or fortune?

High standards, put you in class or category above mediocrity, it puts you among the elites, the best of the best, its privileges and choices are superior and endless.

Now I see why so many people will not accept or follow, serve or worship God, they use the high standards He set as an excuse and would rather settle for less, even die.

 But God sent Jesus, to show us that even though His standards are high, it’s attainable and achievable. (1 John 5:3-4)

Matthew 26-28 tells you about what Jesus went through and did for us to be free from the bondage of sin and Philippians 2:7 mentions what He did.

But for us to enjoy the privileges, we must raise our standards, the highest of which is righteousness. This means to be in right standing with God, the apple of His eyes, this is the foundation that you build on. Matt 6:33 tells us to seek Gods kingdom and His righteousness first and only then will He give you what you want.

I must inform you that you are not getting anything from God if you are not righteous, here are the scriptures to prove it. Romans 3:21-26; 2Cor.5:21; Psalms 11:7; Psalms 37:25; Matt.5:6; 1 John 1:9; Romans 5:17 and the list goes on.

Here are a few of the benefits of righteousness, Gods eyes are on you and He hears you when you pray (1 Peter 3:12) isn’t that good? It gets better James 5:16 tells us ,’the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous person availeth much.’ That’s just a taste of what will happen when you raise your standards to the height or level of Jesus.

To be victorious, a conqueror, a winner you must follow Gods only begotten Son, Jesus. He is the only way to God. You must repent of your sins and follow our leader and Savior – JESUS THE CHRIST. To do so, go to the top of this blog and click on the steps to Salvation page(Steps To Leading Someone to Christ; Salvation Prayer) it will tell you what and how to be saved through Jesus. Please do it now, a second from now could be too late.

I give glory, praise and thanks to God our father through Jesus Christ for using me to share His message with you, may His grace and mercies be yours, now and forever .Amen.

WHAT A BODY

Can you fathom or see the intricate details of our bodies.We are fearfully and wonderfully made.We are made up of 206 bones, 250 million cells is in a drop of blood, 200,000 hair follicles, 60,000 miles of blood vessels, ok, lets move on to simple stuff. Our hearts don’t rest for more than a second, you can sweat up to 3 gallons of perspiration per day, the eye is essentially an opaque ball filled with water like fluid, and can tell the difference between 7 million colors, oh! The brain processes more than 1 million messages per second, and that’s  just a glimpse of the body God created.

And you are wondering if there is a God, and if He exists, I have not read anything, heard or seen anyone coming close to making a specimen of this kind, that is why Psalms 139:14 ‘tells us to praise God because we are fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are His works..’

Then David said in Psalms 8:3 – 6 “when I consider the heavens, the work of His hands, the moon and stars, what is man in comparison to every thing else, why He loves us so.” But we are made in His image and likeness, we are His masterpiece, His pride and joy, that’s why.

And it grieves, hurt and break His heart to see how much He has put out and put up with, just for us to love, honor, respect, serve, worship and thank Him. and we are disappointing Him, day by day.

He went as far as sending His son (Jesus) to save us and we don’t accept Him, nor follow His examples He laid out for us to follow. I hope you know the penalty of not accepting His son, not turning away from your sinful ways is death. Which is Gods gift to us, and the only one who can save us from sin. What or who are you waiting on? please accept His gift before it’s too late. John 3:16 tells you God sent Jesus. John 10:6 tells you He is the only way, He is the truth, and the life, and no one goes to God except through Him. Again i ask what or who are you waiting for? to accept Him go to the top of my blog click on the steps to, and the salvation page to accept Him(Steps To Leading Someone to Christ; Salvation Prayer). To God be the glory, praise, thanks and honor for your decision and for using me. Amen.

LIFE

I remember the song, “I only have one life to live, and I am going to live it.” The devil has allowed us to think that we only have one life to live so we must party, and do all kinds of illicit and immoral acts like you don’t care or you only have one life to live.

It’s amazing how we allow people and things to influence how we think, act or behave. Then we unintentionally become copy cats of the wrong things.

Please stop thinking like that. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy your life, trying to make you think that you only have one life. But Jesus came so that we might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). So stop being fooled, because he is doomed, he wants you to follow him to hell.

This is why I say read your contract the Bible. It’s laid out for you plain and simple. Here are a few exclusive verses from the contract on life:

  1. Genesis 2:7 – God is the breath of life, and He did not say you have one life to live, and if that was the case live it for Him.
  2. Jer.21:8 – He set before you life and death. It’s your choice.
  3. Psalm 30:5 –  In His favor is life.
  4. Proverbs 8:35 – Whosoever findeth me (God) findeth life.
  5. Luke 12:15 – It’s not what you have that makes you live, otherwise rich folks would not die.

John 13:37 tells us that Jesus put His life on the line for us, so that we can live forever. So let us please live for God.

To accept Christ into your life say this prayer, “Lord, I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all my sins. Transform me from my head to my feet, come into my heart now, so I can be a new creature and live for you daily. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.”
