I Am Blind Like That

I Am Blind Like That

I believe in God. He is my sovereign, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, my God.

I follow the edicts and commandments of God to the best of my ability. If God says this is ugly, then to me it is ugly, if He says this is good then I agree that it's good, if God says this is beautiful, then I say it is beautiful, if God says this is dirty no matter how clean it is to me, I say it is dirty too. If God says it is then it is. No more, No less. If God says its 30%  dark, even if my brain says it's 40% and I can see a lot of light ,I still say No it's 30%.

I have no higher thoughts than God. No matter how smart I think I am,how logical or how creative, I bow to the one who knows it all. 

Yes I may not know all about God but I know He is a good God and He loves me so that's enough for me. Besides if I knew everything about God then what makes Him God?

I don't need to ask or to question God because how smart are humans anyway? We are still discovering things about the human body even though humans have been on earth for over a million years. We are still digging the ground for evidence of the past and trying to piece the puzzles together. We are still discovering creatures. We haven't even reached the ocean floors. We haven't touched the sun. No human has even created a distinct creature even if it's an ant. Doctors have to divide the human body and specialize in each part but yet a neurologist that has been studying the brain for years is still discovering new things, an orthopedic is still discovering new things about the human skeleton and bone, we still have the 7 wonders of the world, we witness unexplained happenings, miracles, mysteries.

So please tell me again why I should not agree with God.? When any human can do a quarter of what God has done. His creation of the world, humans, Infact everything then you can question my blind follower-ship until then I remain blind, daft, deaf and a foolish foolish sheep following my one true Shepherd.

Grand Entrance Into Heaven

HOW TO GET A GRAND ENTRANCE INTO HEAVEN.

2Peter 1:3-11.

The bible says that God has given us everything we need for a godly life. He has given us great and precious promises, these promises enable us to share His divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. It admonishes us to make every effort to respond to these promises of God. 

How?:

-Have faith in Christ, 

-Supplement your faith with a generous amount of moral knowledge, 

- Knowledge with self-control

- Self-control with patient-endurance

- Patient-endurance with godliness, 

- Godliness with brotherly affection, 

- Brotherly affection with love for everyone.  

The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The bible warns that, if you fail to develop in this way, you will be short-sighted and blind (spiritually), you will forget that you have been cleansed from your old sins (you will be tormented with guilt,  forgetting the essence of Christ's death on the cross).

Work hard to prove that you really are among those who have been called and chosen. Do these things listed above and you will never fall away, then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The rules are:

- Have faith in Christ, 

- Be morally excellent, 

- Be knowledgeable in all things    Christ,    

- Have self-control, 

- Be patient and enduring (pesevere), 

- Be godly, 

- Have brotherly affection (be kind),

- Love everyone!

All Access Pass to Gods Banquet

All Access Pass to Gods Banquet

Every Home has it's rules. In some homes, you will be asked leave your shoes at the entrance door as one of rules.

Well in Psalm 15, God tells us His requirements to be a guest at His table. We all want to be allowed to eat at Gods table, we want full clearance, all access, we even want to have permanent seats or permanent rooms. Here are Gods requirements:

Psalms 15:1-5 

Who may stay in God's temple or live on the holy mountain of the Lord? ( requirements for staying in Gods temple or living on His mountain)

Only those who obey God and do as they should.( walk uprightly, always doing the right thing).

 

They speak the truth and don't spread gossip; (no lies, deceit, cheating,falsehoods)

They treat others fairly and don't say cruel things.(no insults, no discouraging,no criticizing, no pulling people down, putting them at their level or in their place)

They hate worthless people, but show respect for all who worship the Lord. ( we delight in spending time with people who have hearts for God, good Godly friends,staying away from people who have no heart for God)

They keep their promises, no matter what the cost. ( they honor their words, they have integrity,they are not quick to make promises because they have to honor it)

They lend their money without charging interest, and they don't take bribes to hurt the innocent. 

Those who do these things will always stand firm.

5 Tips to Success in Everything You Do

5 Tips to Success in Everything You Do

Let the bible  give you it's 5 tips to being happy and successful in everything you do!

We have a lot of self help tips to being successful, to being productive, to being rich. I don't have anything against self help books but sometimes some self help tips encourage things completely against Gods commandment. Some teach you how to be selfish, be more self absorbed, more manipulative while the bible teaches us to be selfless, to love and sacrifice. A popular book I would note is " POWER"

Well the bible's 5 tips for success in everything you do is all in Psalm 1. 

1) Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people.

2) Happy are those who do not follow the example of sinners.

3) Happy are those who do not join those who sneer at God and have no use for God.

4) Happy are those who find joy in obeying the Law of The Lord.

5) Happy are those who think and chew on the scripture ( word of God) day and night.

The bible gives us a picture of what you would be like when you begin to apply these 5 tips to your everyday life; 

1) You would be like a tree planted beside a stream ( that means, you will never need any artificial source of water,you will never have to beg for nourishment, you don't need a gardener, you are self sufficient, independent, straight from the source, no processed food)

2) You will produce fruit in season ( this means that when it's time for your fruit to ripe and be harvested, no stories, no failures, no delays, no postponement, all glory no story) 

3) You will always have leaves ( you will never be bare, naked, you will always be surrounded with blessings, you will never be ashamed, you will always have something to be thankful to God about.

People who follow these tips will be successful in everything ( job, marriage, parenting, business, lifestyle) they do. Psalm 1:3

Not only does the bible give us tips, a picture and the result, it always tells us that we get a bigger bonus because in Psalm 1: 6 " The Lord protects everyone who follows Him". This means that your blessings are bulletproof. 

So next time you see a tree beside a stream or river, look at how the tree looks and think about this and tell yourself; I can be this tree!

Questions For God?

If You Have a Question For God

In the story of Job, in the midst of Jobs sufferings, he constantly complains that he did not deserve his sufferings. He says in Job 31:35 " if God has something against me let Him speak up and put in writing"

When God finally answers in Chap 39. God did not explain anything to Job. He makes it clear to Job that He owes him no explanation so think about this next time you want to ask God why.lol

He asks Job in 39:" have you been there when mountain goats and deer give birth?", how long are they pregnant before they deliver? Did you give the horses strength and flowing hair? Did you teach hawks to fly south for the winter? Did you train eagles to build their nests on rocky cliffs? 

( so next time you think you are just too smart. Think again)

God asks Job  in Chap 40:8" are you trying to prove that you are innocent by accusing me of injustice?" 

( people do this all the time, they say after all I have done for God, for the church, after all my prayers, after all my sacrifice)

God asks Job " do you have a powerful and thundering voice like mine? If so, surround yourself with glory and majesty, show your furious anger" ( the point here is this: if you think you are more sensible, more powerful, more successful than God, then think again because you can't do a tiny bit of what God can do. But if you think you can get into the ring with God or drill Him with questions then try some of these things in chapter 40)

God tells Job I created you and the Hippo. Look at how magnificent the hippo is. I made it more powerful than any other creature,it eats grass while other animals play nearby..his skeleton is made of steel, he is the most magnificent of all my creatures but I lead him around like a lamb. there is no way to capture the hippo. Chap 40

(So if the hippo as strong and powerful as he is still eats grass and is a gentle animal you better think hard next time you feel too proud or try to abuse whatever power you have)

The hippo cannot be a pet yet he is a docile animal. I think we should dwell on this. We can be powerful, knowledgeable, successful yet humble. We can be spiritually strong but still not a slave to the world and all its lures. We can do it. Why? because just as God leads the Hippo around like a lamb, He can lead you too.
