MAKE YOURSELF GOOD

Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

Matthew 12:33

Did you ever know that a person can make him or herself good or bad? It is entirely up to you as a child of God to make yourself good or bad, and there are ways in which you make yourself good or bad.

You make yourself good by choosing good influence, which entails the things you watch, read, and listen to, the places you go to and the people you spend most of your time with. All these influence you to be a good person if they are good influence.

He who walks with wise men will be wise, but a companion of fools will be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20

Conversely, you make yourself bad when you are influenced by bad influence such as the things you watch, read, and listen to, the places you go to and the people you spend most of your time with. All these influence you to be a bad person if it is bad influence.

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

Many Christians want to live right. However, some fail, because they choose the wrong kind of influence. Think about what you watch, read, listen to, the place you go to and the people you spend most of your time with. All these are directly correlated to the person you become. So, choose wisely, choose the right kind of influence.

Choose to pursue your relationship with God and godly relationships. Choose to watch, read, and listen to godly material. Choose to go to the right places. All these will have a great influence on your Christian life and will bring about spiritual growth. You can make yourself good as you choose wisely. Therefore, choose life.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.

Deuteronomy 30:19

Though of the day: I make myself good by choosing the right kind of influence.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the power to choose the kind of person that I want to be. Thank You for advising me to choose life, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN YOUR WORLD

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 People in the world are in darkness; they walk in ignorance to God’s Word. As a believer you can enlighten other people’s darkness; you can make them see. You are the light of the world. You are a leader with solutions. You can win souls and lead many to righteousness. You can liberate and empower others. You can lead by example and make a difference. You can distinguish yourself as the light of the world by bearing good fruit and producing good works. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 People everywhere are looking for leaders who will lead them. They are looking for the light, someone who will lead and solve problems. You can be that difference maker and change other people’s lives. When people see you, what do they see; what do they think? Are you the solution or the problem? You can be a burning ...
