HAPPY THANKSGIVING

As a matter of fact, everyday should be Thanksgiving to all of us from God.
First we should thank the Lord for the breath of life, without it all the wealth and health will mean nothing.
We should thank the Lord for the food on our table, so we can nourish our bodies.
We should thank our Lord for shelter, to keep us away from the harsh weather.
We should thank the Lord for our job, so we can make some money and buy what we want.
We should thank the Lord for our children or grandchildren to be in the best of health.
We should thank the Lord for being a loving and forgiving Lord.
We should thank the Lord for giving us wisdom and knowledge, so we can be able to understand.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL. AMEN!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

SPIRITUAL ADULTRY

What is Spiritual adultery? Spiritual Adultery can be worshiping two Gods under the same roof. Exod. 34:14 you must worship no other gods, but only the Lord, for he is a God who is passionate about his relationship with you. In other words, he is a jealous God. For example, like marrying two wives at once, we are not allowed to do that. Don’t you all agree with me? So, brothers and sisters in Christ, I know we are not perfect people, but we must try harder to walk in a Godly way in this world. What is the answer? Always asking God for forgiveness from your heart is your answer. We serve the highest God who is loving and forgiving. When God forgave you, he will forget, he will look only at the good side of you. Praise the Lord!!! In this world no one is perfect, except God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!!!

FEARING GOD

Ecclesiastes 5:1- 6 as you enter the house of God, keep your ears open and your mouth shut! As you enter the house of God, we should have the attitude of being open and ready to listen to God, not to dictate to him what he should do. Don’t be a fool who doesn’t realize that mindless offerings to God are evil. 2 And don’t make rash promises to God, for he is in heaven, and you are only here on earth. So let your words be few. 3 Just as being too busy gives you nightmares, being a fool makes you a blabbermouth. 4 So when you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. 5 It is better to say nothing than to promise something that you don’t follow though on. 5: 4, 5. Solomon warns his readers about making foolish promises to God. In Israelite culture, making vows was a serious matter. Vows are voluntary, but once made, they were unbreakable (Deuteronomy 23:21-23). It is foolish to make a vow you cannot keep or play games with God by only partially fulfilling your vow (Proverb 20: 25). It’s better Not to vow than to make a vow to God and break it. If you make a vow, keep it.
Mark 4:22 tell us, everything that is now hidden or secret will eventually brought to light. Believe me, everything will be exposed. Nothing will be hidden in the eyes of God from the time you were born, till the time you take your last breath on this earth. Isn’t that scary for all of us?
So brothers and sisters in Christ, live in an honest and truthful life. The greed of money will lead people to steal, cheat, kill and deceive. Let say you have millions or even billions of dollars, will that buy your way to heaven? NO, it will not. When you are up there, are you planning to bribe St. Peter, Abraham or God with your wealth? No, it cannot be done. God will look into your heart and your good deeds, while you were on this earth. Remember the word “Mammon.” Luke 6:13 No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. What this means is Money has the power to take God’s place in your life. It can become your master. How can you tell if you are slave to money? (1) Do you think and worry about it frequently? (2) Do you give up doing what you should do or would like to do in order to make more money? Do you spend a great deal of your time caring for your possessions? (4) Is it hard for you to give money away? (5) Are you in debt? Money is a hard master and deceptive one. Wealth promises power and control, but often it cannot deliver. Great fortunes can be made and lost within a day. No amount of money can provide health, happiness, or eternal life. How much better is it to let God be your master? His servants have peace of mind and security, both now and forever. Amen!!!
