LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS

AUGUST 30th - CAPSULE 30

TOPIC: LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 10 – Be careful not to stir up discontent.

Have you ever been around someone who loved to stir things up? It may seem harmless to us, but God has a different view of it. Twenty three thousand of His people died in one day because they murmured against Moses, the manna, the direction God was leading them, and all sorts of things. Never had a people been more protected, privileged or prosperous, but you could not tell it by what they were saying. These murmurs never made it into the promise land. Murmurers never do!

Do you know which church was speaking to when he wrote, “I have confidence in you” – the Corinthians. Amazing! Some of them got drunk at communion, tolerated fornication, doubted the resurrection; and these were only few of their problems. One man said; I read the Book of Corinthians just to get encouraged. I know at least am not doing that badly. But along comes Paul and says, “I have confidence in you. You are full of faith. You come behind in no gift”. He focuses on the positive; he builds on their strengths. A mature Christian always focuses on the strengths and good things in others.

So today, look for the best in others. Listen: You’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on . . . . . . The best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse” (Philippians 4 vs. 8).

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to see the good in others. Let me not think highly of myself to become blind not to see the best in other people.

Insight: When you look for the good in others – you will find it.

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...
