#livingholylives



2 Corinthians 7: 1 “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleans ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Each morning I wake up and the first thought that springs to mind is God. I say “thank You Lord for another day.” Jump out of bed and run the water in my shower. There are times when I feel miserable and just crawl out of my bed but most of the time I am grateful for a brand new day. I say thank You to the LORD for granting me another chance in life.

I respect other religions and I mix with a number of people which are not Christians.  I have learned that we cannot push our faith onto other people who are not interested in Christians. So when they speak to me about their gods I listen and node and make a comment here and there. I serve a Living God and know that should they come to love God the way I do, they would be great ambassadors for His kingdom.  From my point of view I am learning to stay humble. My attitude to people has to have tolerance and I need to love them with the Love of Christ. I am faithful to the Lord my God and will do whatever He wants me to do.

Living a holy life is an instruction from God, be holy as the LORD your God is holy. It’s not easy living a holy live, you need to focus on not swearing, cursing and acting just like “Joe soap.” 

Prayer

Abba Father, I humbly come into Your presence this morning, I pray LORD that I aspire to live a holy life as it is YOUR instruction for my life. I am not always faithful in being Holy and I humbly pray forgive me. Teach me to place a guard over my mouth and keep out the filth and dirt that pours out of it on occasion. I ask this in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
