Listening & Doing the Word of God ♡

LISTENING AND DOING THE WORD OF GOD
18 February 2015
[James 1:19-25]

Let this reminds us to not just merely listen to the Word of God and retain it as knowledge. But to APPLY it to our lives and LIVE TO REPRESENT HIM DAILY.
Represent Him in the way we love other people....
Represent Him in the way we serve one another....
Represent Him in our speech... Represent Him in the way we think...
Represent Him in the way we submit to our authorities...
Represent Him in our attitude... It is a CHOICE & a DECISION to LIVE according to the rest of the world that chooses to ignore God
OR

to LIVE as one who ACKNOWLEDGES that CHRIST IS LORD over our lives :) ♡ !

BEING A STEWARD TO GOD'S SEED

BEING A STEWARD TO GOD'S SEED
4 February 2015

In my experience, the blessings that God gives most often comes in the form of a SEED to be STEWARDED into the fullness of His original purpose in our lives.

Only the right STEWARDSHIP will cause the blessings we received to achieve God's original purpose.

What do I mean by that ?

A tool in someone's hand can be used for many things. For example that knife in your hand can be used to chop some vegetables or it can be use to hurt someone. The groceries that God has provided for you and your family, its our part to cook it and make it edible otherwise we still cant eat it.

The point is, God always gives us the SEED that it may grow in HIS TIME. He gives us the SEED that will indeed BEAR FRUIT ultimately. For the seed to grow, the farmer needs to CULTIVATE the land and WATER the SEED.

Example that we can relate to is in relationships. A relationship that has been brought by the Lord will become a great testimony if you STEWARD it well.

 We are responsible for the way we steward our relationships. Dont blame God if you trigger the mess, know that He has given each of us responsibility to steward His blessings.

To be a GOOD STEWARD or a BAD STEWARD is determined by the attitude of our heart and the treatment that we place towards that blessing.

So ask yourselves, what have you done with the SEED of GOD's BLESSING in your lives today?

IF THE WAIT CAUSES YOU TO DOUBT

In the same way that you cant see the fruit of the tree when you look at a seed, we cant see the end product of that blessing immediately. But because you believe that the RIGHT FRUIT will come out of the seed you have planted, then you would be waiting in HOPE until the TIME that the seed bears its fruit.

KNOW THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR HOPE

If circumstances makes you doubt if this really is from God, reflect back to your foundation. Was your hope founded upon His Words and confirmation OR was it a product of worry, anxiety, fear, etc?

If you've had the wrong foundation then go back to the Lord and ask Him to purify your motivation today.

If your foundation is in Christ then allow His grace to sustain you in the process.

 We walk by FAITH and not by sight. And "…FAITH is CONFIDENCE in what we HOPE for and ASSURANCE about what we do not see." [Hebrews 11:1]

WALKING WITH GOD - 1 February 2015

WALKING WITH GOD

What is walking with the Lord?

It was hard to fully interpret when I first heard the term...

When we walk with someone, we can CHOOSE to LISTEN to what they say, CHOOSE to KNOW what they are talking about or ignore it. We can also CHOOSE to say goodbye and walk on our own ways by not following the person we walk with. Why do we do this? Because we do not know their value, we do not want to try to understand them, we have our own interest, we have assumed that whatever they are talking about or wherever they are taking us is not something we will enjoy.

As I grow in my faith walk the term was made clearer through many circumstances that I went through.

PICTURE what happens we we WALK WITH our FATHER,

We will get to hear His stories

We will hear His point of view of things

We will know Him more through the things He tells us

We will know Him more as we spend more time together

We will know His LOVE for us

We will learn from Him

We will talk with Him along the way because its a two way communication

We will learn secrets from Him the more we spend time with Him

We will seek out His interests because of our love towards Him

We will understand Him more

We will be constantly in awe with Him because He is just so amazing

We will know that He knows where He is leading us into

We will know that there is no ONE like HIM

We will TRUST Him as we spend more time with Him

We will obey Him more

We will know that He is ALWAYS RIGHT !

We will know Wisdom

We will know how to REPRESENT HIM

We will think like He does

We will be able to tell other what He is like !

There are many more than you can know by your own experience of walking with your earthly father or even with your friend. There are many more stories to share together and to experience together the longer you walk with someone.

The more I WALK with HIM,

The more I KNOW HIM

The more I WALK with HIM

The more I SEE what HE SEES

The more I WALK with HIM,

The more I know the TRUTH of HIS WORDS

The more I WALK with HIM,

The GREATER AWARENESS I have of His Presence in my life

The more I WALK with HIM,

The more JOY there is in my heart

The more I WALK with HIM,

My purpose became CLEARER and DEEPER is my UNDERSTANDING

If this does not happen to you or along the way you have been distracted and gone away from the Lord, BELIEVE today that so long you are willing to CALL on to Him, He will answer you. (Jeremiah 33:3). 

Its never too late, TAKE A STEP TOWARDS the LORD and HE WILL RUN TOWARDS YOU (Luke 15 – the way the father loves the Prodigal Son) 

When we are a child, we may have very little understanding of what our Father is saying. BUT He is patient with us in waiting for us to grow and constantly pouring His Love towards us. He is patient to see us approaching Him daily and seeking Him more and more. As we grow in maturity, we will be more involved with His desires and be able to PARTNER WITH HIM.

This is for me a simple way to picture our Faith walk with the Lord !!

HE LONGS FOR US TO CONSTANTLY WALK WITH HIM in this journey together until we reach our ETERNAL DESTINATION...

The walk is FUN but we can get LOST if we get distracted towards other things.

Distraction causes us to miss out on His Words and the worse is to draw away from Him.

WALK WITH HIM ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIVES and HE WILL SHOW YOU THE GREATER THINGS,

"that no eye has SEE no ear has HEARD and no mind has CONCEIVED..."

[1 Corinthians 2:9]

because He is just so GOOD !
