WHOSE APPROVAL DO YOU SEEK?

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ". Galatians 1:10 Niv

Many of us put up the best behaviour, morally accepted way of life when all eyes are watching. We want to please friends, opinion leaders, partners, pastors, etc.

Is it not sad that we do the right things when all eyes are watching but the wrong things in our closet where only God, the one who judges our actions with speed and finality sees?

Scrutinize your actions to see if you're living to seek man's approval or that of God. If you still live your life to please man and to seek people's approval then you are not yet a servant of Christ!

God help us to live to seek your approval and to please you in all we do. Amen.

IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF...

14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15. The Most High God, the Everlasting and Final Judge adjudicated our case by reviewing evidence tendered by Jesus and the Devil. The devil said, the wages of sin is death, your children have sinned and they deserve eternal punishment in hell. Jesus said, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through me (Jesus). I came to save the world from sin and to give them life. God's judgement: It's true my children have sinned against me, for the sake of my love for them, i sent my only begotten son to save them from their sin. Now, IF they will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will forgive them and heal the...

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE SPREAD OF THE WORD

We are living in a generation where God has made it easy to spread his word across the world. Technology has come to aid the spread of the gospel. I have had an engagement with people who think social media platforms are evil and are inspired by the devil to take captive many souls. Personally, I do not think so. Creativity and innovation come from God. The devil doesn't create or innovate but he destroys what has been created by God. Do you know the devil quoted the bible wrongly to tempt Jesus? I mean whatever good thing God has made, the devil finds one way or the other to make it look bad. He did it to the word of God against Jesus and to man against God so it should not be a surprise if the devil tries to make social media look unattractive to Christians. With the aid of social media today, it doesn't cost as much as it cost the early Apostles to spread the word. Let's utilize all the channels available to let the world know about Christ and his love. God created thes...

HIS WORD MAKES US PURE

"How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands." Psalm 119:9-10 NIV One of the challenges of being young is how to overcome the numerous pleasures of the world. The Christian becomes contaminated whenever they align themselves with what the world has to offer. In the face of the above challenge, the Psalmist asked, how could he stay pure in his youthful days? There is no other means we can be pure except when we live according to the word of God and seek him with all our heart. "Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, Life is not pleasant anymore." Ecclesiastes 12:1 NLT. May the Lord bless His word and may he bless you as well. ROKANSAH
