Be a diligent worker...

2 Timothy 2:15-16 

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

Weather we recognize it or not, but God controls everything. At times we might feel like we are not where we are supposed to be, but God allows everything that happens to us, for a reason. Sometimes He allows us to be an environment that will teach and equip us, in a certain way, sometimes He allows us to be in an environment for divine connections for His glory and at times it is just to give us a lesson. Romans 8:28 reminds us that no matter what we go through, God will take those broken pieces and make something good out of it; ALL things will work together for the good of those that trust Him. This on its own, gives us a sense of peace, that we are accounted for and in some way, whatever that is, it is part of the plan, part of the process.

In a working environment that you find yourself in, do your work without shame. Do not be ashamed of where you start, remember, that is part of the process; it is equipping and preparing you for the greater plan God has for your life. Be diligent, be positive and do everything as if you are doing it for God (because you are- Colossians 3:23). Also, remember what Ecclesiastes 3:11 says: "He has made everything beautiful in its time...". Therefore, do what you have to, surrender your plans to the Lord and accept the process. It will all work out in the end.

Lastly, this verse cautions us of the company we keep and the things we say. God hears and sees everything. Thus, you would want to watch what you say. God expects us to be positive towards others, encourage one another and lift those who are down. But if you do the opposite (gossip, tear people down etc.), you are then engaging in the godless chatter. Careful. The company you keep, can either make or break you. It can lead you to Christ or send you straight to hell.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
