Reflect On These


And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 18. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.Malachi 3:15,18. 

I have heard complaints from different quarters, people agonizing their stay at home, as they have run out of provision.
But let's reflect on our life how we have being living our lives. On many occasion we have heard of cases where people were murdered in cold blood, they were probably the breadwinner in their family; how did you react to such cases? or missionaries that held captive by their captures, some murdered? Did these tragic and hideous acts pricked you? Did you take a moment to pray for these individuals?
These are souls, being wasted, murdered in cold blood. These people had purpose in life, their destinies cut short, in circumstances that could have been prevented and avoided, but due to lack of adequate security, negligence, greed of man, hatred toward others.
These blood cries for vengeance everyday, not to talk of the countless numbers of abortion, and actions of people as though there is no God.
These things happen around us daily, yet no empathy, we go about our daily routine like nothing happened. The evildoers and wicked fist on destinies daily, they continue to have field day in their atrocities. There is a saying, "evil thrive when good people refuse to act."

Reflect on these, search yourself, I'm not condemning anyone, but we can change things from now onward.
Our attitude and actions have held God back to rescue us, because men have failed to acknowledge Him, and call on Him, Who has spared us on many occasion, all we do is complain upon complaints.
I am not calling for a prayer meeting. There are things you know personally that you ought to have been doing, yet have ignored it, and kept procrastinating; get to it, start today. Everyone have specific task they ought to be doing, but have hitherto left it unattended for filthy lucre sake. It is time to return. Else, many will be held accountable for the things of God they have ignored in pursuit of their own self centered glory rooted in pride.
May God have mercy. Because even in this pandemic, things have not really changed. If care is taken, this may prolong, many think once the vaccine is out it will all be over, really?! Except the Lord build a house, it is in vain to build one.

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
