REDEEMING THE TIME
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Romans 13:11 (KJV)
The grace of God that brings salvation is here, I’m a witness to this atmosphere of of the glory of God that is evidently available to the world to behold. Oh child of God, do you know that now your salvation is nearer because Jesus has overcome the world.
This one thing I always tell myself, Max, you should be awake in every way knowing that the time is very short, the world is ever ready to prensent to us all manner of hope for a better tomorrow, but such words are not strong enough to make me hopeful in this world, already my hope is anchored into that anchor of the souls which is Christ Jesus who has entered for us with his blood behind the veil, breaking the wall of enmity between us and our righteous father.
I’ll continue to set my heart on the things above where Christ is sitting at the right hand of glory.
When your hope is met.
I pray for my world always in my spirit because of great deception that is prevailing, majority are like I was, when I believe sincerely with my heart that God is not good with Jocob, but really God is good unto Jacob. God made everything that humanity needed to live happily in this planet earth! Whatever wickedness lack, weaknesses, diseases that you see today are connected to our constant disobedience to the codes of conducts that God naturally put in place to help man live for a limited time which God left us for our salvation.
Our journey started before the foundation of the world when God made us sit with Christ in the heavenly places. We’re not here to end up with man’s creation that resulted from disobedience. Yes God made man to have dominion over his creations but through the guidance of the spirit of God which man neglected and is busy building his empire according to the lusts of their hearts.
God sweared that his spirit will not strive with man for such a long time like in the days of Methuselah and he reduced their years 80 years, yet by risen of strength. How many of us has come to understand that our years on earth should focused more on our perfection which the spirit of Christ will perfect within such short period of our life time. But rather the world have lied to us that life is all about striving over man’s creations, and we spend all our lives chasing the after the wind.
Maybe I’m speaking based on the mercy of God that position me where I am to teach me as it please him, could my words be of any benefit to the next person? Developed countries has gone far in science and technology to the extent that speaking about God sounds weird to them, isn’t painful that what some people are trusting God to do for them are the common things that some governments provides freely for their citizens.
I’ve witnessed some of my country men that traveled outside Nigeria to the United States 🇺🇸 and some other developed world and all of a sudden dropped all those God things, those faith, those hope those prayer life, those church activities because they now realized that all those their so called problems and needs are met already by the government of those countries. What are these things telling us? God is totally misrepresented by humanity! Our hope, prayer faith trust in God is something that is far beyond this life! It’s something that someone in Africa and Europe, America and Asia should continue yearning for irrespective of their disappointing or fulfilled government as the case may be. Don’t lose sight of your high calling in Christ when you’re in lack or when you’re in full! The kingdom of God is totally higher and different from whatever life that this world has offered you and I. Life is horrible with some while to some it worth living forever, but both are still vanity and vexation of the spirit. Eternal life; partaking from God’s divine nature is all that matters.
God is that supernatural power that controls everything both known and unknown to man! But it’s painful that man is rather happy to spend all his life learning about God’s creations through science and technology, and at the end of the day, they all die without scratching a bit of the creations of God and not to talk of knowing who God is, some has been deceived in a belief that there’s no God because of worldly knowledge.
I don’t trust God for anything made by man, I trust God for those things bigger that humanity put together, I trust God that the sun will continue to give light to the earth 🌏 I trust in God that the earth will not lack oxygen for life on it, I trust God who sends rain on the righteous and on the ungodly. My blessing is God alone, he blesses with life! The world has their own blessings which are those things they made with their hands, but God has his own blessings in the heavenly places which anyman that calls the name of God should understand.
We can make use of the world but shouldn’t abuse it!
Abusing it could be when a child of God fails to put things in the rightful place and begins to place his hope on earthly things calling them blessings. Your blessing is Yeshua Hamashiach who is called Jesus the Christ.
Seek the good of others
My prayer for Steemchurch:
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:1-5 (KJV)
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:3-12 (KJV)
