EXAMINE YOURSELF

WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN? ROMANS 6:1-2 You might not understand the "whys" or the how of what you are passing through now. But just like Job honoured God, so you should as well, and in the end God will honour you. We never know when we are in the midst of our pain and suffering what the source is or who is to blame.Our response shouls mirror Job's trust in God and believe He will use your pain to bring about His perfect will in your life. Always remember everything has repercussions, the sin of Adam and eve flow through mankind. When Abraham refused to wait for his Isaac, the repercussions flow through. This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led off the Spirit,ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest. Is God good? Yes! We can see and feel His goodness all around us. Then why does evil exist all around us today? It is as a result of our disobedience to God's Commands

THE GIFT OF GOD

WHEREFORE I PUT THEE IN REMEMBRANCE THAT THOU STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD WHICH IS IN THEE BY THE PUTTING OF MY HANDS. 2TIMOTHY1:6 Stirring up the gift of God is similar to stirring God's power at work in a person's life for the perfection of the saints. "God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame" beloved; there is something in you that can put your shame to shame if only you will discover that thing. We all have talents and abilities. A key to usefulness is making our talents available to God. Your talents may be building friendship! engaging conversations, answering questions, inspiring people, or telling stories. God certainly can use those. It is pathetic today that most believers are carrying God's gifts in them! Many believers are not aware of the wonderful deposit of God 's gift in their lives, therefore these gifts are laying waste in their lives. The Bible says "A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men, Proverbs 18:16. Beloved, stir up the gift in you, put them to action! And people will see the glory of God in your life.
