HOW TO FLOURISH IN LIFE*

HOW TO FLOURISH IN LIFE

SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 1:19
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Isaiah 1:19-20
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

If you will flourish in life, one thing you need is simple obedience. When Jesus told a dejected fisherman, who had toiled all night but caught nothing to once more launch into the deep and let down his net for a great catch, his response in Luke 5:5b was:

“Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.”

The result of his simple obedience was a net-breaking and boat-sinking haul of fish, had the capacity to transform his life forever. Beloved, God knows more than you do. Isaiah 40:28 says there is no searching of His understanding. If God instructs you to do something, please don’t argue with Him, because compared to Him, you don’t know anything. 1 Corinthians 1:25 says:

“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

If God says “this is the way” and looks like a bush to you, I would advise you to simply go through that bush and don’t try to rationalize what God has said. When God asks you to do something and you don’t understand it because it doesn’t make sense to you, just remember that simple obedience is the key to flourishing.

When I became born again, I had a lot of problems with tithing. I said to myself, “what are these people talking about? One hundred percent is not enough, yet you are asking me to give ten percent. How will ninety percent handle what a hundred percent cannot cover?” Indeed, tithing doesn’t make mathematical sense, but when you are dealing with God. It wont always make sense. He is too big for you to understand with your little brain. It took me a while before I began to tithe, but I started and suddenly thing began to change for the better. The first thing that happened after I paid my tithe was that I got to my office and my head of department called me and asked why I had not requested any money for my research. At that time, I didn’t even know that there was any money provided to fund research. He then explained to me that I needed money so I could travel to gather data, and he asked me to apply for certain sum. When I heard the amount, I couldn’t believe it; I thought something had gone wrong with my hearing! When God decides to help you, He will give you instructions, and your flourishing will be determined by how well you obey these instructions. Are you walking in simple obedience?

*KEY POINT:*
Those who cannot obey the ridiculous cannot receive the miraculous from God.

SPRITUAL TRUTH 12 PRACTICALLY WAYS TO CONTROL YOUR SEXUAL URGES AS A CHRISTIAN (SONS/DAUGHTERS OF GOD ALMIGHTY)

SPRITUAL TRUTH 12 PRACTICALLY WAYS TO CONTROL YOUR SEXUAL URGES AS A CHRISTIAN (SONS/DAUGHTERS OF GOD ALMIGHTY) Sometime ago, a sister approached me with concerns about her sexuality. She wondered why although she is deliberate about her walk with God, she still has a strong urge for sex. When I smiled and told her I had sexual desires too and that these desires were God-given and normal, she was greatly relieved. When you ask some Christian singles, ‘have you at any point felt like having sex?’ the look on their faces will make you wonder if you’ve just asked an abominable question. Yes we have the standard ‘flee sexual immorality’ instruction. There are lots of sexual purity campaigns, seminars on the demonic operations behind illicit sexual affairs, talks and shows that tell stories on how destinies are destroyed via fornication. Too many struggles have arisen out of sexual urges that looks impossible to be tamed. But the question still remains in...

INsight Yes YESHUA Hamashiach (Hebrew) Was Translated Into Jesus Christ (English)

INsight Yes YESHUA Hamashiach (Hebrew) Was Translated Into Jesus Christ (English) According to the English Bible, the name of the Savior-Son of Elohim, the Most High One, is JESUS. But then, “JESUS” is English and definitely seems odd as a name for the Savior who was born Jewish! The name “JESUS”, being English, could never have been found in the Holy Scriptures that Elohim inspired and caused to be written in Hebrew, from which the English Bible was later made. Simply put, because the name “JESUS” is not Hebrew, it is not part of the inspired Word of Elohim which He led holy men to write! Amazingly, the name “JESUS” never even came to salvation seekers as a result of the translation of any Hebrew name found in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures, as many commonly presume, since names and titles of people are never deemed translatable. Instead, it was deliberately introduced into the Holy Scriptures by some being of evil intent!! Students of the...

The Good Lord & Creator

The GOOD CREATOR Scripture Romans 5:1‭-‬8 GW Now that we have God’s approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. Through Christ we can approach God and stand in his favor. So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God. But that’s not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance creates character, and character creates confidence. We’re not ashamed to have this confidence, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people. Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person. The Messiah died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God’s love for us. Romans 8:37‭-‬39 GW The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all ...
