New Living Translation (NLT)

I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”

A lot of us sit and imagine: why was i chosen? why did God call me? of all the people that were in my family, my situation, my environment, why me in particular?well! don't search any further here it is whatever the Lord does He does for posterity, it doesn't end with you its about the train or long chain of people who have their destinies attached to you . its because as He said to Abraham, He knows that you have it in you to keep His name going, to tell others about Him to teach people about Him whether they be your physical children or not. Abraham did not even have a physical child for a very long time yet God said He chose him because he would direct his sons and families to keep His ways. so that tells me that his slaves and visitors and all that ever came around him and heard him talk about his God, where considered his children. God expects the same from us 

 that's why He chose us. that's the purpose we must accomplish to see that those who are called our children learn about our God, and learn to keep His ways by doing what is right and just!!!

So its the eve of the kick off for the 90 days bible challenge, and excitement is in the air. the ladies cant wait to get reading. someone said that for anything you do you should view the end even before the beginning, so here i am viewing the 90th day, seeing the finish line. looking past and beyond whatever things may want to drag us down and seeing the get together organised just to celebrate our victory. wow i hear the glasses clinking the laughter the joy, look at all the fun we are having. it was worth it these past 90 days we are the better for it. and we are mighty glad we went through it. all we ask sweet spirit of the living God is for our spirits to be open to yours all through the days so we might receive from you. it is the Spirit of the word that we want and not just the letter because the bible says the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.Take us over Holy Spirit, make us over through this experience and journey through the Word.

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.John 17:24... have you ever wondered what God's will is for you?... well you can start from here (King James version actually reads 'I will')... knowing that after having received eternal life,(verse 2)...it is His will for you to be with Him to see His glory and the purpose of that is to as a mirror, reflect same...isn't it a wonder how we go around carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders when a life of glory is God's will for us ...he wants it that way we are not forcing him to give it to us, we are not begging for it, its His will... why not have a turn around and begin to reflect on what ways to best reflect His glory...for you are a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor. i think any institution that decides to advertise or put their wares o display, would...

The Sacrifice of praise?...Really? 2!

Hey People, welcome again, talking about the sacrifice of praise still, so here’s what I found out. To get the full gist of what I’m sharing, please read my earlier post. Just click on this link right here! The fact is that praise should be our culture (according to my sister 3JI) indeed our consistent way of life, it is neither a reward given to God for his goodness and kind acts, nor a “sacrifice” in the self denial sense of the word when things are not working out the way we want them to, rather it should be our reality in good or in bad.   Now you may be thinking there’s nothing different from what we’ve heard all along and let me be quick to say that the truth is that it encompasses both of this thoughts, but the answer or revelation for me lies in the intended meaning of the word “sacrifice”. The sacrifice of praise is primarily for the mercies of redemption. According to Rosenmuller ( Alte u. neue Moergenland, in loc) the Jews had a species of offerings which they ...
