Be careful to lead a blameless life..

Hi...
I was blessed to meditate on Psalm 101 today.
★Here we see David set down standards he wanted to follow. Because he was serious to keep up this standard, he did turn to God in sincere repentance(Psalm 51) when he sinned.
He desired to lead a blameless life.

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 2 "I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart."
★To do that he decided to :
1) Set no "vile" "worthless" things, before his eyes. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 3 "I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile."
2) Hate what faithless people do and keep away from them, and keep away from evil. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 3b "I hate what faithless people do;
I will have no part in it. 4.The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil."
3) He did not tolerate the proud, those who slandered their neighbor, those who practiced deceit and liars.

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 5 "Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence. whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate."  

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 7 "No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. "
★It's high time we too stood up and raised our voice against injustice, corruption, false balance. For these are abomination to our Lord.
★What we tolerate we cannot change!
★David also chose as models and friends those who feared the Lord and were faithful, true and wanted to be ministered by the blameless. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 6 "My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me."
★Who are our role models and friends?
❤Abba Father..help us to walk blameless before you and purify us, make us acceptable in Your sight O Lord..
In Jesus Name,
Amen❤

•*¨*☀2 Corinthians 7:1, "Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."
★Our Lord is requiring a higher level of commitment and holiness from us. He says in His Word, He's coming back for a spotless and blameless bride (that's us, His people!).
•*¨*☀1 Thessalonians 5:23 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."
•*¨*☀Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: "
★He sure requires ★fearlessly bold, ★passionately holy, ★physically set-apart, ★upfront and bold people, to go out and raise the falling standards of Christianity!
Are we ready??
Good Night...

Is the Grass greener on the other side?

Hi family and friends..
☀It may look as if the grass is always 
♥"Greener on the other side".♥
☀Sometime we feel the place where we are planted is not as flourishing and green as the other side looks.
☀So some of us switch places, jobs so often only to find it's the same there.
☀Sometimes people from the other side paint bright pictures of the "Other side", or may offer extra bonus, incentives to lure us there.  

☀If we don't let our Lord Jesus Christ design our life plan and learn to be fruitful where He plants us, chances are we'll fall into someone else's plan. 

☀And guess what, when we go the other side against God's will, we'll be discouraged to find things are the same or sometimes worse.

☀The enemy sometimes tries to draw us away from where we are (the place of God's will and plan) into his snare, by confusing us. So let's be careful and discern.

☀So before we move to the other side, let us be fruitful where God's placed us. Then to our surprise we will find, as someone said..
♥"The Grass is always greener where we water it."♥

☀Before we water the place where we are planted, let's not move.
Know that if we water the place where we are planted the Grass will always be greener where we stand.
☀Let's overcome the difficulties we face and flourish where we are.
☀God prunes us where we are planted to make us more fruitful.
❤John 15:2 "He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
☀Success and promotions don't come immediately, God sees our faithfulness and will promote us in His time.
☀" The Road to Success is Always Under Construction."☀
PROMOTIONS COME ONLY FROM GOD and NOT MAN.
❤Psalm 75: 6 For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
7 But God is the Judge: He puts down one,
And exalts another.
☀When we are faithful in small things God will lift us up in due season. Let's faithful in the place we are. The job in our hands may be small, may not give us the fame, name and attention but God sees our heart.
❤Matthew 25: 23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
☀Let's be faithful in God's house too!
❤Hebrews 3:2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 

❤3 John 1:5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you.
Stay blessed

The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest

 

Hi...
★We live in a world were injustice is all around, it's difficult to get a job done without a bribe and we are cheated in weights and scales in the bazaar.
★There is favoritism and partiality at work place.
Justice is perverted and the law seems to favor the rich and famous.
When a man with wealth and power murders, he's out on bail and when an innocent poor is convicted, there is no one to fight his case and he's behind bars for ages.
*•..¸✿Habakkuk 1:4
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
★So many innocent people are convicted and behind bars and the culprits walk away free.
★But..
Praise God we serve a God who is fair, just, not partial and does not accept bribe.
*•..¸✿Proverbs 16:11
Honest scales and balances belong to the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.
*•..¸✿Deuteronomy 10:17
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
*•..¸✿2 Chronicles 19:7
"....for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”
*•..¸✿Proverbs 20:23
The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.
★Abba Father wants us to be Imitators of Christ.
He wants us to practice justice, not be partial and be fair and not cheat in weights and measures.
*•..¸✿Proverbs 20:10
Differing weights and differing measures— the LORD detests them both
*•..¸✿Deuteronomy 16:19
Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent.
*•..¸✿Leviticus 19:15
“‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
★We serve a God who's a true, fair judge and one day He will establish His Kingdom on earth.
*•..¸✿Revelation 16:7"And I heard the altar respond: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”
★ONE DAY OUR GOD WILL COME AND ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH.
★But till then let us be imitators of Christ and take and uncompromising stand and get rid of unfair practices we see around.
★ Let's not walk away quietly when the vegetable or fruit vendor cheats us in weights and measures.
IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND!!
