#Praying&Singing!

#Praying&Singing - James offers us Pastoral remedies to the lows and highs of life. This advice is very capital to help believers navigate safely and responsibly through life's both end of the emotional spectrum. Yes, both pain and pleasure left unchecked can lead to sin or even death.
Hence, to avoid the extremes of suicidal thoughts in our pain, we must pray! Likewise to avoid the extreme of compulsive addictive behaviors in our happy days, we must sing praises to God to keep us close to Him and away from the dangerous waters of secular hedonism.

#ABIDEINME!

This invitation of Christ clearly tells us that a victorious and fruitful Christian living necessitates a permanent or continuous connection to the author and source of Eternal Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
One can argue that this statement of Christ does not limit itself at securing our fruitfulness in the kingdom but also can serve as the determining factor of whether we belong to him or not.
Remember Paul? Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling?
So, once again if we love Him, we must abide in Him! How! you ask? Joshua 1:8.
Where do you stand? Selah!

#GodsExpectations!

#GodsExpectation - It is a fallacy to think of God as a tyrannical, over-controling and micromanaging ruler with unrealistic expectations, whose desire is to entrapped or imprison us into an ignorant and unfulfilled state of being. This fallacy is what the devil presented Adam and Eve with to turn them away from God.
But God is a loving Father who has his children's best interest in mind when He instructs them to follow Him and His ways. This is how we heal our world from all ills.
Do justice, Love kindness and Walk humbly with God. Selah!
If you are born again, there is no other way to live than this. If you are an unbeliever, understand that God's goal is not to take the fun out of your life. Rather, His desire is to give you a purpose driven life with great fulfillment as you come to know the one who made you and who has a plan for your life. Hear His voice, trust in Him, walk with Him... it shall be well with you!

#TrustGod!

#TrustGod - God alone is the Unshakable Shaker. All else is sinking sand. These past months unfortunately have made this fact abundantly clear. Our health, wealth, life, relations, governments, social order and rest can never be considered as inherently stable and safe. When a shaking like the one the world is going through happens, God alone remains the true constant because as the Rock of Ages, He naturally is the unchanging expression of stability, constance, peace and security.
You may be in a place where the recent world event has destroyed life as you knew it. Your world has completely been torn apart and you are blaming God for it. Please don't rush to the conclusions Satan is feeding your mind with. God is a tender loving Father with outstretched hands still saying to you "I am all you've got, We can't quit on each other now. Come forth, I am for you, let me show you what needs to take place next."
Just open your mouth and speak to Him right now... you will realize that He alone is indeed worthy of your trust.
TRUST IN GOD!

#CelebrationOfGod!

#CelebrationOfGod - Prophet Isaiah is in definite celebration mode here for his people and for himself as he perceives in the Spirit the Victory of God over death and His defeat of all their enemies. He burst in praise to the delight of God I am sure. We may even say that the allusion to God's victory over death is in anticipation of the finished work of Messiah when he comes. Isaiah looked forward to the cross and bursted in praise.
How much more, you and me living in the aftermath of the cross... shouldn't we daily be on praise mode? For indeed God has done great things (John 3:16). So if you are a believer wherever you are right now get your praise on. Amen!

#DoYouKnowHim!

#DoYouKnowHim - The knowledge of God and Christ the Messiah is the key to maturity in the faith and our access to all things pertaining to life and godliness. As we increase in our knowledge of the person and works of Jesus Christ, God supplies us with all that we need to live a life worthy of His calling. Understand  that in the Christian faith there is a correlation between knowing right and living right. To used technical words we will say, orthodoxy always leads orthopraxis. That is Authentic doctrine will lead to proper or correct living or practice of the faith. This is the path to maturity and the security of the believer. This is what gives us the confidence and assurance of our salvation. That we know Him and are growing in our knowledge of Him.
How to do this you ask? Personally pray and read His word daily. Then do what the word says you must do. Selah!
