GOODNESS

As it is written, The benevolent person

scatters abroad; He gives to the poor.

His deeds of justice, goodness and

kindness will endure forever.

(II. Corinthians 9.9), (Psalm 112.9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 

RAISED UP

As for you, you were dead in your

transgressions and sins, in which

you used to live when you followed

the ways of this world and of the ruler

of the kingdom of the air, the spirit

who is at work in those who are

disobedient.

All of us also lived among them at

one time, gratifying the cravings

of our sinful nature and following

its desires and thoughts.

Like the rest, we were by nature

objects of wrath.

But because of His great love for us,

God, Who is rich in mercy, made us

alive with Christ even when we were

dead in transgressions- it is by grace

you have been saved.

And God raised us up … Continue Reading

CHOSEN

Therefore, as God’s chosen people,

holy and dearly loved, clothe

yourselves with compassion,

kindness, humility, gentleness

and patience.

(Colossians 3.12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

FORGIVE

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe

yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you

may have against one another.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And over all these virtues put on love which

binds them all together in perfect unity.

(Colossians 3.12-14).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

PROVIDES

And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating

will also provide and multiply your resources for sowing and

increase the fruits of your righteousness (which manifests

itself in active goodness, kindness and charity).

(II. Corinthians 9.10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

God’s Goodness Leads You To Repent

Do you not perceive that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

(Romans 2.4)

It is God’s goodness and kindness that leads you to repentance.

Not our exceptional intelligence, brilliance or insight.

Not our mystical, spiritual or religious background or standing.

Not our strong will-power, discipline, intense prayer or fasting.

Not our achievements, wisdom or energy.

It is God’s goodness and kindness alone which leads you to repentance

from dead works. This is an absolute miracle.

At one point our unrighteousness and ungodliness becomes clear to us.

We realize like Job did when he encountered God in fear and trembling

how much we need God’s imputed righteousness. The righteousness of

Jesus … Continue Reading

EAGER FOR HAPPINESS

EAGER FOR HAPPINESS

Be eager and strive

earnestly to guard

and keep the  harmony

and oneness of (and

produced by)

the Spirit in the binding

power of peace.

(Ephesians 4. 3)

POINTS FOR REFLECTION

AND MEDITATION

1) The pursuit of peace

is only possible by the

attitude of humility,

gentleness, forgiveness

and kindness which

characterizes Jesus. His

character traits allow

us to pursue peace

successfully. These character

traits are acquired  by being

filled with the Holy Spirit.

2) When we are intentional

and intense in the pursuit

of harmony and oneness

with the binding and

uniting power of the

Holy Spirit we are

able to make progress

in achieving peace.

3) If you are eager for happiness

this is the key to lasting happiness.

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS

FOR HIS MOST PHENOMENAL GIFT!

Right Thinking

 

For those who live according to

the flesh set their minds on the

things of the flesh, but those who

live according to the Spirit, the

things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death,

but to be spiritually minded is

life and peace.

( Romans 8.5 and 6).

RIGHT THINKING

HALLMARK OF A  SPIRITUAL

MIND

Consider and meditate on the following:

1) Carnal minds contemplate merely

physical thoughts. Their sphere of

ideation is restricted to things, places,

activities related to physical desires.

2) Those who live according to the

Holy Spirit meditate on Spiritual

concepts and reflect on the ideas

inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Spirit led thoughts characterized by

love, joy, peace,patience,kindness,

goodness and faithfulness are the

hallmark of a spiritual mind.

3) … Continue Reading
