DO NOT FOLLOW THE CROWD….

ID-10011293

Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong Exodus 23:2 (NIV).

The crowd has more often than not assisted in bringing about positive changes in society! One can talk of demonstrations where a crowd of people hit the streets to protest. Sometime, these demonstrations are peaceful and therefore yield positive results. Some other times, these demonstrations are ‘rough’ and result in destruction of public and private property. Some elements of the crowd may also take advantage of the situation and do the wrong things such as breaking shops and looting items!

We are being admonished by the scripture above not to follow the crowd in doing wrong. It is for a just course, we are allowed to  join but we have to ensure that some elements do not take advantage of the situation to perpetuate evil or bad deeds.

BUILD YOUR BACKGROUD

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning (Proverbs 9:9).

The background or foundation of everything is so important, therefore the need to be vigilant and build our backgrounds. For instance, for somebody to be successful and have an impact on the world, it is important to become a Christian and abide in the word of God. Receiving Jesus Christ as one’s personal savior opens doors of fulfillment.

More on the scripture above; for a man to become wiser, he has to have some level of wisdom as a foundation to build on. For a student to progress from one level of academia to the next, it is important for that student to have a sound background or foundation to build on. It is our responsibility as children of God to build our foundations so that we can move from one level of glory to the next. Your level of glory now provides the background to move into another level of glory. The question to you is: how sound is your background now in any endeavor that you want to pursue? Build your background with the word of God and sound knowledge in other relevant books and you will always be a vessel for God to use to bless the world. As you bless the world with your potentials, you move to other levels of glory. Amen.

DISCIPLE OTHERS…..

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2)

In the Kingdom of God, the nature of selfishness should not exit in people. From the scripture above, we are encouraged to give to others what we have received! Specifically the scripture is referring to the good news of the Father which we have heard. We should actively engage in sharing the good news with friends, strangers, siblings, children etc. Sharing the good news with somebody may save that person from serious challenges or even death. The good news is life and spirit and is able to heal broken hearts and improve the lives of people. As you share with one person and that person also shares with another, we will be expanding the kingdom of God on earth. As you disciple others, you will be blessed.

YOU WILL WIN WHEN YOU STAGGER NOT

ID-10073179

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (Romans 4:19-20).

Faith is so important in our Christian walk! Faith is the live wire of the child of God. With faith, Abraham was able to receive the promise of God concerning his body and the body of Sara. In our world today, science will tell us so much about menopause in women. Science has discovered so much good things making life better every now and then. However, science has also discovered limits and impossibilities to many things on earth. For example, menopause will usually set in for women in their late 30s. Science will tell you that some cancers and diseases are incurable.

In the mist of scientific evidences, can we still believe God’s word as the answer to the problems of man? Emphatically yes. Abraham, our great great ….. grand father was able to defy the limitations of the flesh through believe and faith in God’s promise. In the absence of faith, unbelief is magnified and we stagger. Faith always comes through the study of God’s word.  When we are strong in faith, we will always get results that are beyond human comprehension. Indeed, there is power in God’s word. Amen.
