THE BENEFITS OF SERVING GOD !

  ” There is profit in all labour but…” Proverbs 14:23 Our opening scripture says there’s profit in every labour. That’s why He says, ” Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;…” Afterall, you’ll prosper in everything you do. But the Bible points out that he that’s from above is above all. Thus, one can equally assert that the labour from above is above all other earthly labour. The paragraphs below prove the superiority of kingdom roles over earthly professions. ( Ecclesiastes 9:10, John 3:31 ) FAVOUR & PEACE. “The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith…” Proverbs 10:22. Peace is never found in wealth. Only God gives true divine peace. Accompanying the FAVOUR of God due to our continued submission to him, is Peace. Peace is the condition of The human Spirit that secures, sustains and multiplies the BLESSING. It comes as a result of our righteousness. And righteousness is the reward of FAVOUR. JOY “The seventy-two returned with jo...

HEEDING GOD !

 Obeying God is foolishness to this world, yet it's this  "foolishness"  God uses to confound   "the Wise in this world"  ( Jeremiah 8:9, 1 Corinthians 1:27 & Issaiah 44:25 )

PRAISE THE LORD !

" O clap your hands, all you people; Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy.  For the Lord Most High is to be feared [and worshiped with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He is a great King over all the earth.  He subdues peoples under us And nations under our feet.  He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory and excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.  God has ascended amid shouting, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.  Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.  For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding." Psalms 47:1‭-‬7 AMP

THE SINFUL WOMAN

  HER CHARACTER: She was a notorious sinner, possibly a prostitute or adulteress. Rather than trying to defend what was indefensible in her life, she admitted her sin and made a spectacle of herself in a passionate display of love and gratitude. STORY IN BRIEF: She was a notorious prostitute or adulterous woman that followed Jesus to Simon's house. There, she kissed The Lord's feet, mobbed it with her tears, wipped wit her hair and finally perfumed it. Simon, surprised at Jesus' silence, loudly thought, " would the son of our holy Father just watch on without repelling this sinful woman? " Jesus quickly narrated to Simon - a creditor cancelled his debtors debt( one 50 denarri, the other 500 denarri). Then, He asked Simon which of the two debtors he thought would be most appreciative. When Simon judged right, saying it would be the debtor with much debt, Jesus explained that it was the reason the woman did as much; she perceived that her much sins would be forgiven...

REMEMBER THE LORD !




 



” Remember the former things long past,

For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me…”
Isaiah 46:9.

Often times, we blame our stagnancy or retrogression in life on the devil, curses or some covens elsewhere rather than taking a self-check on our own attitudes to see where we miss it. It’s worth noting that forgetting God’s goodness and the kind gestures shown us by others is also a sin that can hold one back in life. Jesus, having this insight, would always give attributes to the Father in Him as the doer of His works. The following paragraphs reveal more on the need to remember the positives.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, …” Hebrews 6:10.

If forgetfulness is unrighteous, then remembrance is righteousness ! One personal attitude I’ve always thanked God for is that, I always dwell on the positives of people ignoring their errs no matter how hurting it could be. And this should be every believer’s lifestyle too. The verse above shows that in spite of our mistakes, God still rewards us for our good works.  Now, if we’re going to imitate God as Paul suggests in Ephesians 5:1, then we must equally remember God’s benefits and the goodness of others in our lives, by honoring them materially and with word of mouth.

” Remember the LORD your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful,…” Deuteronomy 8:18.

Secondly, remembrance enables God to preserve and sustain His blessings in our lives. But how does it happen ? Back in the old testament, the Israelites only praised God when they saw God’s Glory descend over Moses’ tent. And God, satisfied with this form of worship, never denied them of His presence. Now, seeing the Glory of God connotes remembering His goodness. So when we behold His Glory by remembering His BLESSINGS in our lives, it results in spontaneous praises unto His name and the giving of thanks, financially or materially. This in turn, provokes God to divinely enable us with His power to achieve more.

Thirdly, testimonies abound through remembrance. Let’s be quick to know that testimonies in themselves are so powerful that the Psalmist would pray, ” The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live…” Psalm 119:144.  Each time I want to seal and protect every new blessing from God, I consciously go testifying about it at  church and before my friends. Remembering God would mean meditating on The miracles of God and sharing theme with others.

Beloved, remember The Lord from afar. Regardless of where you are today – your status in finace, education, family, career, and relationship, let’s strive to honour the goodness of God and people in our lives.  That way, much more would be accomplished through our walk with The Lord ! – Jeremiah 51:50.
