You'll be absolutely correct to say we're new creature/creation in Christ according to 2 Corinthians 5:7 since our transformation journey begins at salvation and continues all through life. But let's look at what Jesus expect of us and what He likened us to be from His sermon in Matthew 5:13....👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👩‍🏫....

Psalm 42:11, Isaiah 40:28-31. Dafidi oba ati wooli Isaiah gba wa n'iyanju l'ati: Ni ireti, ki a si duro de Oluwa. Bawo ni a ti le se eyi? D'arapo mo wa l'ati ko eko yi pari....👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

2 Kings 18:17, 19:14-19,....20. Reading about the king Hezekiah, we should learn that we don't have to put up with problems very long like we usually do before turning to God for help....He's available anytime and everytime and has promised to hear and answer. Pray, Trust and Believe....🙏🙏🙏🙏...

1 Thessalonians 5:17....what does it mean to pray without ceasing? It simply means to have a mindset of prayer or maintaining an ongoing conversation with the lord on anything and everything. But how have you dealt with challenges of life in the past? Did it occur to you to pray FIRST?🤔🤔🤔....Study with us....👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👩‍🏫....

If all we have focused on in the past is the building of our reputation, don't you think we should meditate on the words of Jesus in Matthew 23:25-28 and re-consider? If we spend time building our character, then we need not worry for God is sure to take care of our reputation and that way, we can go on to have a reputable godly character....

1 Samuel 16:11-13...Only God and the prophet (partially) could understand what was going on(i mean David being anointed as king). God was looking for a man with reputable godly character and He found David before anyone had a clue 1 Samuel 13:14....God is on the watch..Be faithful!

The dictionary defines character as the trait that marks a person and reputation as what you're known for and from where we read yesterday (revelation 3:1&2), we could see that being known for something is totally different from being that thing. Let's look at another biblical example today from 1 Samuel 16:4-7...study with us👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫.....

Proverbs 22:1....when you take a good look at the two, we can all agree that both are of course important to human existence. But when you read from Revelation 3:1&2, you might want to change your mind🤔🤔....study this series with us👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫....

Filipi 4:6&7.....vs8 L'ati bi ose meta kan ni a ti n gbe ohun ti aniyan je yewo. L'oni ni a o bere si ni wo awon ogbon ti a fi le bori re. Gege bi mo si ti so ni ose ose kini eko yi, inu bibeli naa ni iwe ilana oogun fun isegun l'ori aniyan/idaamu okan wa. Bi o ba ti be e, d'arapo mo wa l'ati ko eko yi.👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫.....

Checking through the old and new testament books of the bible, God spoke to His people in various ways, some of which we still have today. But what is the sure and best guide for the believer?🤔 The answer is in John 16:13. The Holy Spirit that indwells the believer takes the word, applies to our heart and awakens us to respond......👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫....
