Feeling Stuck? Here's a Word for You ❤❤❤



Sometimes the reason we are feeling so stuck is because we just can do what we should do - fear of being judged or misunderstood. I found something in one of the letters of Paul wrote to the church today and I felt like i must share.
It's a big issue really.
Some of us will never get to do the right thing all because we feel we will be judged a certain way by those around us. Some of us will never fully surrender to Jesus but choose subconsciously to remain in pain and despair because we don't want to be judged a certain way.
Let's address this.
Truth is, lack of worry about the judgement of others gives freedom to fully serve God as He directs and this means freedom to live a fulfilled and happy life.
Little wonder Apostle Paul made up his mind to be less concerned about the judgement of the church on his faithfulness, here👇
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by any human judgment. Indeed, I do not judge myself. For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not counted righteous by that. The one who judges me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:3-4
See that even "we" ourselves are sometimes not obliged to judge ourself (though this excludes self examination unto repentance), let alone others.
Only God should do the "Judging". He knows for sure what He has given an individual to do and what may be the person's motives, struggles temptation, difficulties, inner failures and success.
It's high time we took charge of our life against "fear of the unknown". A decision to follow Jesus, to live righteously and in accordance to the will of God is a decision to live INTENTIONALLY - sometimes against the "normal".
"I know a lot of people won't do this because it's not the easy way and I may be judged for wanting to please men or I may loose some 'steeeeez' yet I do it because it is what God says and it is the right thing to do at that time."
May God give us strength to live INTENTIONALLY for HIm in Jesus Name.
And to those that are always quick to make assumptions and judgements. I beg you to SEEK UNDERSTANDING - ASK QUESTIONS, before making up what you want to belief or better still...
STAY ON YOUR LANE👀
Christ can and will judge the hidden things of the heart.
Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes. He will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make known the purposes of the heart. And then everyone will have praise from God.
1 Corinthians 4:5
Shalom💌

Why You Need to Keep Record of Your Salvation Experience.

There are some memories that should never be forgotten, one of which is the story of your salvation. I think our Faith hangs on it somehow. Daily reminding ourselves that once we were lost but now and we are found. Daily reminding ourselves that our human mind never would have reckoned that the freedom which we now enjoy in Christ was possible. Daily reminding ourselves how broken, sad, confused, worried and tired we were before we found Christ who gave us peace in abundantly. Yes, our faith hangs on these memories. Because there would be days when salvation become visibly "no longer relevant", then we have reasons to say, no. I still can't afford to loose it. My old life wasn't better off. But there's one more reason why we should never forget our beginning with God. Worship. How do you worship God the best way when you have chosen to forget your personal experience of Him? And By Worship here, it goes beyond the emotions we feel while singing to Him. Fine, it is...

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone?

 Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone? The teaching of Jesus from Matt 5 up to Matt 7:28 is called “The Sermon on the Mount” because Jesus preached it on a mountain side. This sermon shows what Jesus meant when He commanded people to repent. It reveals what entering God's kingdom means, both in one's inner experience and outward behavior. It reveals principles which operate in the kingdom, and those things which exclude people from the kingdom. The sermon begins with the word “blessed”. So we can say the sermon sets forth the blessed life – who the blessed are and how they should behave. The blessed are those in the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3). This sermon does not give specific instructions as to how to enter God's kingdom but shows what sort of people are in it, and what they should seek to become and do. This sermon, for the most part, is for disciples of the Lord Jesus, not for everyone. However, it seems clear from Matt 7:28 that many other people besides H...

The Story Of Salvation According To Matthew 1

  The name “Jesus”, like the Hebrew name Joshua, means “the LORD (Jehovah) saves”. The word “Christ” is from the Greek language and means “anointed one”. Its meaning is the same as “Messiah” taken from the Hebrew.  The Messiah was to be anointed by God – that is, set apart and consecrated by God, to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament. He was to be prophet, king, and priest. According to the Old Testament the Messiah had to be a descendant of Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, and of David, Israel's greatest king. To show that this was true of the Lord Jesus, Matthew gives this genealogy in Matthew 1 which shows how Jesus relates to David and Abraham by Ancestry.   Jesus as to His human nature was descended from David who lived a thousand years before Him, and from Abraham who lived nearly two thousand years before Him. The women whose name showed up on this genealogy (Rahab, Bethseba and Ruth) teaches us of God's wonderful grace and mercy towards sinful peop...
