DAY 149 OF 365: WALKING THROUGH THE WORD

Title: ON A LOVE ADVENTURE WITH JESUS

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:12-14

O the blessedness of those who walk closely with the Lord! The joy of attachment to the One with whom we have to do. This is far beyond religiosity or its likes. Rather, it is what I like to call a love adventure.

GOT OIL? (NEW MINI E-BOOK)

I have just finished this short exhortation in a mini e-book that God laid in my heart to do. It will bless you.

I HAVE SOMETHING NEW TO SHOW YOU…

I hope you’re doing well and making progressive strides through life everyday? I want to quickly appreciate everyone who’s been a part of my story this year 2019.

The Spirit in You

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 4:4

Investing in yourself this year may be your best shot at succeeding in the years to come

Galatians 6:8 (Authorized King James Version)
“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

Just a brief thought that swam through my mind earlier. I’m yet to build something elaborate out of it.

THE REFINER’S FIRE

A dear friend just shared this with me this morning, please allow me share with you.

“Malachi 3:3 says:

‘He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.’

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ‘He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.’ She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, ‘How do you know when the silver is fully refined?’
He smiled at her and answered, ‘Oh, that’s easy — when I see my image in it, then I know its fully refined’……

‘If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

Challenges and trials are meant to make you better not bitter.

Someone needs to know that God is watching over them. And, whatever he/she is going through will make him/her a better person in the end. I see God bringing out the best in You in the midst of the flames in Jesus name, Amen”

Peace
