HEARTY APPROBATION FOR GODLY OVERCOMERS

"Welcome thou faithful and righteous servant". These words, taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible, will serve as commendation to those that overcome the trials and tribulations of this world and have remained steadfast in their faith while on Earth. The folks referred to here are those who remain grounded in their faith and exhibit the fruit of the Spirit.


As we obviously navigate this tempestuous life, it is easy to loose focus, become discouraged and forget that Jesus Christ is our only connection to God. However it plays out, those who remain faithful to God, even in the face of adversity are living proof to the testament of His Power and non-discriminatory Love. It is this power of God that guarantees reassuring hope to His children entrusting their unwavering faith in Christ the mighty captain. 


The Holy Bible is full of stories of overcomers who persevered through seemingly insurmountable obstacles and emerged victorious. Abraham, who left his home and family to honour God's invitation to the Heavenly mission, Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his own brothers but rose to become a powerful leader, and David, whom despite faced with many challenges while ascenting the throne, are just a few examples of those who overcame adversity with God's help.


But it is not just those in the Bible days that overcame in the name of God. Throughout history and even today, there are countless individuals who overcame discrimination, persecution, illnesses and other hardships through their faith in God. These individuals are true inspiration to us all, and their stories serve as a reminder that with God all things are possible.


As we reflect on the lives of these overcomers, we should take note of the qualities that led them through the pathway of victory. These are qualities that we should also strive to exemplify and inculcate in life.  Faith, Patience, Perseverance, Love, and Humility are all characteristics that are essential in overcoming the challenges of this world. And as we cultivate these qualities, we can trust that God will continue to guide and strengthen us on our journey to His glorious Kingdom.


In the light of this, it is proper to encourage one another with hearty approbation especially to those who remain faithful and righteous servants of God. These individuals are truly a blessing to the Kingdom of God and the lives of those around. Their lives serve as a beacon of hope to all who are expecting to see Jesus Christ some day. As the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (KJV). These words capture the true essence of being an overcomer. It is only to those who successfully fight the good fight, finish their course, and keep the faith that God and His Host will welcome home at last.


In conclusion, let us continue to strive to be overcomers in the name of Christ our LORD. Let us remain steadfast in our faith while we cultivate the attitude that bears the fruit of the Spirit, and press-on with righteousness in the face of adversity. And let us never forget to offer our hearty approbation to brethren around us who have made it their point of duty to stand for the things which Christ taught even if it entails being smitten for it. Remember, He will say to us if we faint not at the beginning of our journey at eternity "Welcome thou faithful and righteous servant". O! What joy it will be.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
