How prepared are we to bow and confess before God?
Many of us are so busy making provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust, that we give no thought to the day when we will have to bow and confess before God. But, we have been warned, that the time is closer than we think and that the time to begin preparing is now. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, when we could see clearly.
Are you happily dwelling in the courts of the Lord?
All of us who have been called by God should be happy people; we should daily draw into his courts and be satisfied by the beauty of his house and by the holiness of his temple. Lord, you delight in those who love you and as such keep your commandments. Instill in us happy hearts that delight in you, so that we could daily enter your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise.
Are you ashamed of the Gospel of Christ?
“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek. But, whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.”
Is your shepherd leading you astray?
Too many of our brothers and sisters have found themselves among the wrong flock, being led astray by their shepherd. We need to be aware of who is shepherding our flock, we need to be aware of the sounds they make, we need to understand just what their mission is. For those shephers who are ordained by God, listen to Him, they know His voice and they know how to shepherd God’s flock. Let us pray to God for the discernment to know the voice of the Good Shpeherd and follow Him.
“O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”
Lord, do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; nor let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously. Show me how to do good to them even though they have shown me nothing but evil.
Will you make time for God today?
God is able to create a change in us. God is able to give us life anew. God is able to grant us the gift of salvation. With all that God can do, why do you stand afar off? If you seek God today, you will see just what he will do for you.
Are we brave enough to stand up for Jesus?
If you try to stand up for Jesus in your strength alone, the arm of flesh will fail you, but, if you put on the Gospel armor and carefully put on each piece with prayer, your courage will rise with every danger you face and you will be victorious. So stand up, stand up for Jesus, lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss.
Are you being loyal to Jesus?
Many of us claim to be loyal to Jesus but never stand up for Him. How could we be loyal to Jesus and never defend His name? How can we ever be loyal to Jesus, when we fail to trust in his wonderful grace? My brothers and sisters in Christ, its’ time to be loyal to Jesus your King, for He has been loyal to you. “Whatever you do, wherever you go, be loyal to Jesus, your King!”
Did you forget to thank God for the crisis he just brought you through?
If God has been good to you, and you by any chance forgot to say thank you. Stop right where and give God a praise! Don’t think, just stop right where you are and give God a praise!
Are you truly thankful?
Truly, thankful people are happy people, because they are content with such things as they have, and are willing to share the little they have so that others could be happy too. When God blesses us, we sometimes take it for granted, but, we should know, that when God blesses us, he expects something in return; our truly, grateful, thankful hearts
