Be Focus – Emotionally

Be Focus – Emotionally

Philippians 3:13 – Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before

Once a human is emotionally unstable, he can’t be doing well in any affair. The mind have a great contribution to our progress or otherwise. Things might have happened to us in the past, but for us to progress we have to let go the negative past experiences.

Our yesterday [past] is the foundation of our today. So building on the past which is negative will have a negative effect on our life. If the foundation is faulty, we have to destroy it so that the building will have a good shape. Your past experience is your foundation.

Apostle Paul here tells us a secret to excelling in this life, forget those things behind you and look for the things ahead of you. Holding back to the things behind you and trying to reach for the things ahead of you is like going backward and forward the same time, which will make no meaningful progress. This is worse than serving two masters.

Beloved, those sad and sour experiences that you had in time past, please let go of them. Reach for the things ahead of you and see how you will progress. Remember, yesterday is your foundation, today is your building and tomorrow is the roof. Your foundation determines your building and building determines the roof and the roof determines your rest and peace.

Be focused emotionally, brother and sisters!

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
