AN OPEN MIND

JULY 15TH – CAPSULE 15 

TOPIC: AN OPEN MIND 

BIBLE TEXT: JAMES 3 VS 17 – But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


The wisdom God gives is not contentions nor argumentative. It will make you humble enough to listen to the counsel of other’s. God will share His wisdom through them as well. The real test of knowing whether the wisdom of God is present in the life of a child of God in the fruits he produces when acting on the love from within. 

If the fruits are true, righteous and brings praise then it's from God but when the results are related to the works of the flesh then such wisdom is beneath and not above. Daniel possessed this kind of mind, and was open towards his fellow Hebrew brothers; Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego. He didn’t do all the mighty works by himself, neither was he partial. His heart was pure and he sought to accommodate his brothers through the times of captivity by being open to their opinions in the Lord. Daniel 2 vs 17 – Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah his companions. Are you open to those God has set around you? 

The results of applying God’s wisdom is great. Daniel 2 vs 49 – Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king. The grace of God at work in his life made him humble, and it was counted unto righteousness for he carried his brothers along with an open mind.


Prayer: Father, please rest on me the spirit of wisdom in Christ Jesus to work with an open mind towards others.

Insight: The wisdom of God is pure with a transparent mind.

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
