Giving an Account

-

Romans 14:12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (NIV)

When being accountable to your employer for the work you do sometimes you may not reveal the negative aspects but only the positive. Do not be alarmed. You are only human. We all want to be seen in a more positive light, by our employers, our mates, and our family members as well as our friends around us. 
When you think of something negative that you have allowed to happen in your life and you try not to mention it or worse yet cover it up, then I have a suggestion. Ask God to reveal to you what caused the negative action or reaction in your life and how to keep it from occurring again. God wants us to grow in Him and in everyday experiences we go through. We will one-day give an account of our lives to God and we all would like to hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.” (Matt 25:21) Well, sometimes we slip, but God knows our hearts and He knows what governs our motives. Let’s be honest with God. Confession is still good for the soul. Begin with God.
Key Thought: We truly want to give a good account of our lives while here on earth. God knows our hearts and wants to guide us in a closer relationship with Him.
Allow God to build a new you. Give Him your life and let Him begin anew.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, You know my heart and You know my motives in life. Where my motives do not align with Your direction for my life, guide me into altering my path where I can be more attentive in following You more closely. I truly want to hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Align my heart to reflect You, not me. I Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!!!
Have a great day!!!
In Christ,

Two Mind Sets

Two Mind Sets Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV) Today’s verse shows the struggle that occurs between two great forces. We are physically born into this world with a sinful nature, but when we are born again as a new person in Christ, we are given the distinct advantage of the power of the cross. Yet even with this great resource available to us as believers it can be quite difficult to live in accordance with the Spirit . Often, we fail to use these great resources available to us because we simply do not ask for God to intervene in times of trials and tribulation. He wants us to call on His name to help us in growing as believers in Christ. The key here is to recognize the sinful nature so that you know when the temptations of old arise and can dismiss Satan with a single comment. Jesus was tempted in Matth...

Eye Has Not Seen

Eye Has Not Seen 1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (NKJV) What would happen if you stopped and took notice of the things God has prepared for you in the past as well as the future? We are not a complicated creation to Him, but we are very complicated to us. He created us and the plans He has for us are geared to our character which He created. Let’s face it folks, we are the ones who mess things up. Let’s stop, sit down with the Word of God, and thank Him first, then open that conversation with Him. He waits for that interchange. We stop the conversation with Him with an AMEN!!! I challenge us to open God’s Word and begin our prayers. He knows your heart in advance. Ask God to put it together for you so you can be better prepared for what He has planned. His preparation is His Word, the Bible. I know some folks who did this and they became so overwhelmed at God mo...

Our Willing Savior

Our Willing Savior Matthew 8:2-3   A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, “Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man ,  “I am willing,”   He said. “Be clean!”    Immediately he was cured of leprosy.  (NIV) This remarkable story of healing is powerful. But I would like for us to focus on the phrase stated by Jesus: “ I am willing,”   These few words are often overlooked on their own as a statement in themselves, but they speak volumes of what Jesus desires to do for us.  He is willing . He does not negotiate terms, He simply loves and guides us daily when in our hearts, we truly want more and more of Him.  Key Thought: He is willing to always give more of Himself to us than we can ever imagine. Today, let us start with this request. “Lord if you are willing” …… Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Give me Your peace, in Your time, that I may share...
