THE PLUMBLINE

THE PLUMBLINE
This morning, let's look into three areas of our life; living (life), loving and lending. We are quick and asp to place people on the weighing machine leaving ourselves behind. We've taken it as business to try and estimate to which extent a person has performed; where as, we overlooked our own deformity.
Let's try this on ourselves. If you're to place yourself on the plumbline of God, what weighest thou?
1. Life: If your life is weighed by men, I believe you could earn yourself a good accolades and remarks ... Not he that commends himself is commendable but He whom God commends. Within and without is our living to the standard expected of us by God?
2. Love: God commands us to love Him with all our heart, might, strength, soul and our neighbours as well. Do you? All of us are defaulters in this level, including myself... Ask yourself this question. Have I ever/really loved God with all my heart? Before you answer, let me call your attention to this. Sometimes, you think about money, material things, food, position...hereby dividing your heart... Again, have you ever loved God with all your heart? Put yourself on the plumbline of God now.
3. Lending: Giving is another part we refuse to admit that we are wrong. Have you ever given without expecting payback? Don't tell me that you've not given without grudges and unwillingness before? Don't claim to be saint here, you know God knows.
The year is almost running to a close, please put yourself on the plumbline of God to know your state... Leave men out of this... They won't help. If you give them bribe, they will flatter you to hell...A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Remember this: And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN - Daniel:5:25
Check and Balance Yourself on God's Plumbline
Assessment Day to you All

TAKE NOTHING - Part III

TAKE NOTHING - Part III Are we any better with all we've taken? Or are we any less for not taking them. The children of Levi would have thought that God was cruel and wicked at first for not giving them an inheritance alongside their brethren. This could be mostly ascribed to them not knowing the mind of God. When God told them not to take anything or share with the remaining tribe, they would have felt used, cheated or wasted; just like most of us do feel nowadays. We go about complaining, nagging and murmuring our lack, wants and needs. Is God not aware? For your Heavenly Father know that ye have need of them, saith Jesus. Now to the Levites, they had no inheritance to share with their brethren...did that make them destitute, wretched or any poorer? At all. THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, AND SHALL HAVE NO PART NOR INHERITANCE WITH ISRAEL:...Deuteronomy:18:1. If you were to be in their shoes then, what would your reaction be? They followed well the hymn which says, LET'S GO TO

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

NOW THAT YOU KNOW Know what you asked? That's; Salvation comes of the Lord and not by any form of fretting or good works, why then don't you go to Him for yours. A delay is too deadly a time to waste in this case. I'm also convinced you know by now that Jesus is coming. Yes, you have this conviction in your heart. You can't afford to continue living your life the same way compared to those in the world. It's brought to your knowledge this day again as a reminder that, WE BROUGHT NOTHING TO THIS WORLD NEITHER WOULD YOU TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT. I'm sure you know this.... All this your flamboyant and glamorous but questionable lifestyle is too costly and risky to put your mansion on high on mortgage... If at you know you have one. Without gainsaying, you should have known that, striving with your Maker makes you to be in the same category with a potsherd... What's potsherd here? You're reduced to a piece. Also, you should have heard this and com

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe?

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe? The above stated theory is believed to have crept into us that we've concluded without questions. The postulation has been adopted into every activities full of hurly-burly. In people's tittle-tattle kind of or way of things, this theorem has been concessional. And just like little children when told not to do something by their parents, we've lived this far without questioning too at this stage and age. What? You've now reasoned to ask, Right? 1. What is full of UPs and DOWNs? 2. Who said it/this? 3. When was it told/How old is this belief? Let me hang on there; I will try as much as possible to answer the above questions to the best of my knowledge and if there are contrary opinions, I'm open for clarity and correction. Answer to the Questions 1. They say life is full of UPs and DOWNs. 2. I don't know the person. 3. Seriously, I don't know when it was said and how long. If you know, please tell me ...
