MAKING RIGHT DECISIONS

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14 The best decision you could ever make in life is to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Other than that, you have to make numerous decisions every day of your life. When you constantly make right decisions they eventually lead to your success in life. Success simply put is a series of right decisions that you make. However, you need wisdom to make right decisions all the time. The Bible clearly states that if you need wisdom, you should ask for it. Solomon asked for wisdom when he was presented with an opportunity to ask and God was pleased with his request. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 Making right decisions every day is of outmost importance. The good that you do today will benefit you tomorrow. The good that you do right now will put you in an ad...

HOPE FOR THE GENTILES

And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.” Romans 15:12 When you are not Jewish according to the flesh you are a Gentile. Although God had originally called the Jews to be His people, this time He has also called the Gentiles to be His people. Glory to God! Now, Jesus the King of kings reigns over us as the Gentiles, we are His people. Although the Jews are originally His people, God has had mercy on us and made us His people. We are grafted in to the family of God. We are now God’s people because we believe in Jesus Christ. As He says also in Hosea: “I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.” “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, there they shall be called sons of the living God.” Romans 9:25-26 We have come to an everlasting kingdom, a kingdom that knows no end. Now we reign thr...

HEAVENLY CITIZENS

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20 We are in this world but we are not of this world, we are passer byes, we are strangers in the earth. We are the citizens of heaven, heaven is our home! The Bible clearly states that we are already seated with Christ in heavenly places. We are in Christ. When He was crucified, we were crucified with Him, when He was buried we were buried with Him, when He rose from the dead we were raised with Him to a newness of life. Christ is our life! But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6 As heavenly citizens we should be heavenly minded, in other words we should get our vision from heaven and in effect bring heaven on ...

WHEN PRAISES GO UP HIS GLORY COMES DOWN

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. Psalm 67:5-7 When praises go up blessings come down! When praises go up God opens doors for blessings. When you bless the Lord with your praises, He blesses you with increase. You can only live in the overflow when you live in the praises of God. God is a good God and He wants to bless you, but God does not bless complainers and negative people. God blesses people who praise Him! Learn to live thanksgiving and praise mode. It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night. Psalm 92:1-2 When you praise God, He fights your battles. When you praise God, you come closer to God and when you draw near to Him He draws near to you. If you are stagnant and you beg...

JESUS’ BROTHER, SISTER AND MOTHER

Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.” But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Luke 8:19-21 When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you come into the family of God. You and Jesus have one Heavenly Father, you are in the household of faith and Jesus is not ashamed to call you His brother. Jesus calls those who hear the Word of God and do it His mother, brothers and sisters. He calls those who do the will God His mother, brothers and sisters. That is because a real Christian does the will of God. For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother. Mark 3:35 When you are born again, you are in the family of God and Jesus is your brother. Jesus is your Lord and Savior and you have one Father. You are royalty, you are a roy...

LIVING TO PLEASE GOD

For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. Galatians 1:10 You can make others happy. You can make your family, friends and colleagues happy but what if what makes your family, friends and colleagues happy makes God unhappy. You have to learn to live to please God. When you make God happy everything will fall into place. When you make God happy you will be happy and you will have peace in your heart. All is well when you are living to please the Lord. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 Keep God first place and make Him happy, live to please God.  However, you cannot please God and please all men at the same time; you cannot make God happy and make everybody else happy at the same time. Living to please God is a life of sacrifice, you might have to suffer or be rejected by others for Christ. Nevertheless, you ...

KNOWLEDGE GIVES LIGHT

For You are my lamp, O LORD, the LORD shall enlighten my darkness. 2 Samuel 22:29 Jesus is my Light and since He came in my life He has brought light in my life and that light came in the form of knowledge. The knowledge of God gives us light. When you have the light of the knowledge of God you can longer walk in darkness, you are made free. You can name your problem. All you need is light concerning that problem and your situation will change. You will be delivered through knowledge. Knowledge of the truth will set you free! And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 God’s Word will give you direction for your life. It will show you who you are and what you possess. It will show you what to be, what to do, and where to go. The Word of God gives you knowledge so that you do not walk in darkness. It changes your perspective in life and it gives you God’s thoughts. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 The...
