When Mercy looks on a man, God looks on that man. The question is now that who is the man that God can look upon?
For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. — Isaiah 66:2
So having a humble (poor) and a contrite spirit which will make tremble at His word is not negotiable.
We can't stake our life on the Promise of eternal life and not be serious with God. Either we don't understand what we're saying, or we've been bewitched. Ahhh, please we shouldn't play with our life if we're not ready to be committed.
The Promise isn't automatically received by being Born Again. Being born again doesn't give it to us; it only gives us entrance to begin the journey. We have to journey to the end to receive it. But it is sure that if we follow God, we will have it. If it were received by being Born Again, the Scriptures wouldn't tell us to make our calling and election sure: "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make our calling and election sure: for if we do these things, we shall never fall:" — 2 Peter 1:10 (KJV)
The journey of salvation requires us to walk diligently. We can't stop being diligent. We can't stop pressing. We can't grow weary of the journey. It won't be easy, but we can have the Promise.
"And we desire that every one of us do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That we be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." — Hebrews 6:11-12
We raise prayers for the nation, we ask that an end comes to the massacre of lives in the Nation Nigeria due to the barbaric actions of the Islamic terrorists.
Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in endless praise, let them flow in endless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee, swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee, filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use every power as thou shalt choose, every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne, it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure store. Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee, ever, only, all for thee.
Can we just stop trying to be a better version of ourselves and focus on becoming like the son of God 🤔🤔🤔.
Because the better version of ourselves is still flesh. Our predestination is to conformed to the image of the son. This should be our goal, Our purpose and Our Life.
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." — Romans 8:29 (King James Version)
To forever behold Your beautiful face, Elohim I'll do anything to make You stay, Elohim Whatever it takes to keep You forever, Elohim You can keep me under, that's my place, Elohim
Life is worth living, But there is a way to live to make it living. There is a how life is to be lived,
An essence which can't be neglected to make it living. We think we understand how to live, What to do, what not to do,
When to do, when not to do, Who to meet, whom not to meet, How to look, how not to look, Whom to love, whom to hate.
We feel we understand all the hows, whens, whos, wheres, whats... We feel with all of these we can say we lived as we ought to.
But does understanding all of these make us live life as we should have lived it? What is our own definition of living? From whom does the teachings of how we should lived come from?
Who taught us the hows, whoms, whats, wheres... Have we asked the Creator of Life on how we should live? Have we sought to know how he wants us to live?
Have we asked the Giver of Life on the essence of our lives? Do we really desire to live?
The hope of life is tied to its essence. The essence of life is in its purpose. The purpose of life is hidden in the Gospel.
In the Gospel we find our hope, In the Gospel we find our essence, In the Gospel we find our purpose. Understanding the Gospel is understanding our life.
Living the Gospel is living Life as we Ought to. Life is not worth living until you've found the Gospel. Let's find the Gospel, Lets Live.
"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." — Acts 17:28 (King James Version)
