To God be the Glory

“Beloved, do not think it be strange to the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s  sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12, 13). 


You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood; may this day you serve someone in the name of Jesus giving all glory to God. 


The Bible tells us the world as we know it is drawing to a close (1 Peter 4:7). Today, many theologians present believable validation of the end-times and point to current events that appear to match Bible prophesy. Though Jesus declared no one will know the hour of His coming we are warned to be alert for His return.  In my spirit, I too believe we are near to these end-times. I say; “Come Jesus!” In (1 Peter 4:7) we are reminded of this and to be serious with our prayers and watchful in the coming days. In the meantime, we are to love one another fervently; because as the apostle Peter said, “love will cover a multitude of sins.” He went on to instruct us to be hospitable to each other and to be so without any grumbling. We should use the gifts God has given us to serve Him and one another so He is glorified.

Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Read (1 Corinthians 12) and (Romans 12:4-8). I encourage you to use the gift given to you by God, using it as a good steward and with the manifold grace of God. Each and every one of us has at least one gift of God. We are to use our gifts to help each other and to do so to the glory of God.

Maybe your gift is ministering to the needy, or maybe you feel led to pray for others. There are many spiritual gifts and like I said, we all have at least one. Maybe your gift is praying for the healing of others with laying-on-hands and anointing them with oil. God uses ordinary men and women as He heals His people. He equips us with extraordinary faith and uses us as efficient conduits for His healing power. For sure, all healing is from God! Healing is as much apart of our salvation as the forgiveness of our sins is! Healing is still a part of God’s perfect plan for mankind until the coming of His Son Jesus. As believers, we will then be given perfect bodies without pain, without suffering and without any diseases. As believers, we are all heirs to the throne with Jesus. At the time of His coming our work on this earth will be finished. Hopefully, we will all exclaim; To God be the Glory!  

“Do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Confused By False Prophets

Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father – “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10). Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of th...

Awake Out Of Sleep

“…it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11). This verse from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans is where he was instructing them to put on Christ. He was illustrating that during the time of sleep we are in darkness, our works may be of darkness as well. He went on to say, the night is already gone , in other words before Christ we were in darkness hopelessly lost. Now that He is come and we know the truth of our salvation Paul is saying  it is time for us to wake up! Come out of our darkness, and put on the armor of light, Jesus Christ. We are to make no provision for the flesh for the flesh will only try to fulfill its lusts. This morning, unless we open our minds to the teachings of the Holy Spirit the world will start right in telling us what it expects us to be doing this day. Our night is over, we now have Jesus, He is our Morning Star, our hope, and He alone is the way . “...
