Is there anything that God has called you to do that he has not equipped you for?
Absolutely not! God is able to abound in you everything that you will need for His service. All that you and I need to do is to step out in faith, believing, that God is able to bless us abundantly, so that in all things and at all times, we may be fit and ready to do His will and our work will never be in vain. Thank you, Lord for the gifts that you have given us, please show us how, when, and where to use them for your glory.
Do you grumble or complain doing the work that God has called you to do?
The children of God should differ from the sons of men. We should be earnest, constant, and rejoicing in the work of the Lord. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” We could never be inwardly or outwardly happy unless we are humble. Let us humble ourselves and do God’s work without grumbling or complaining and learn to esteem others, for this is God’s will for us. Praise the Lord!
What is it that is making you unhappy this morning?
My brothers and sisters in Christ, if we have Jesus, we should be happy, cheerful people. There are so many things or people, that could make us unhappy, but, we have to choose to be happy no matter what. The enemy’s goal is to rob us of our peace, he wants us to be unhappy, and that is why many times he does not only allow the situations in our lives to break us, he works on us to allow the situations to cause us to sin and we let him. But, we must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, we must learn to understand the workings around us, we must develop a strong sense of God’s purpose in our lives, so that when the situations in our lives threaten to rob us of our peace, we should remind ourselves, that the situation did not come to stay that it came to pass and that God’s peace in your life and mine will sustain us, and therefore, we will go through every struggle, every heart ache, and every worry with a song in our hearts and much praise for God.
Do you have enough love in your heart to share?
Many of us feel like we do not have anything to share with others because we may not have a lot of money or material things, but the best gift we could give to one another is love. We must first begin to love God, love ourselves and then loving others will come easy. Love, is a kind word, a thought, a good deed, quiet confidence and patient hope. We are reminded in 1st Corinthians 13 that the greatest gift is love, therefore, let us learn to love unselfishly and abundantly and it will be returned to us in the same measure. We all have much love to share we just have to begin sharing.
Have you yet returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your soul?
All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall upon Him. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with His stripes we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but, the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall upon Jesus His Son. Hail to the King, our Prince of Peace!
Are you walking in the light of the Lord? He who follows Him will no longer walk in darkness.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. He came to shine on those of us living in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Therefore, arise and shine, for your Light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!”
Do you still not understand how much God really loves you!
Who else would have been so loving, so willing to give their only son as a sacrifice for us? No one but God. He has loved us when were unlovely, he has loved us when we were unkind, he has loved us when we have grieved his Holy Spirit, he has forgiven us so many times. Do I still need to say more to reassure you of God’s great love for you and for me? “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
Have you yet received the gift that God has given you?
A gift is not a gift until it is received. In acceptance of this gift, Jesus, that God has given to all of us, all we need to do is to believe on Him. Scripture reminds us in John 3:18, that, “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Are we ready for Christ’s reappearance?
Lord, help us to be ready for the time of Christ’s reappearance, Grant that we may so dwell in Him and let His perfect love fill our being. Make our worship a time in which we celebrate your love by showing love to the whole world. Amen!
Do you have any joy to share with the world around you?
If we are children of God, living according to His word, we are joyful. The joy of the Lord, should always be our strength. The joy of the Lord, should be so evident in our lives, that it should shine forth and embrace the lives of others. Lord, I am so thankful that I carry you in my heart always, that because you are a constant force in my life, I am joyful and I share my joy with those around me. Thank you, Lord!
