SCRIP-BITS

Bruh Joseph did not have an easy life although he was shown early on through his dreams that his destiny would be blessed. And believe me, he would not have arrived at that destiny if he had not kept God first place in his life in spite of all the unjust and unfair situations he experienced. That's what the Lord expects from His sincere followers, obedience and dedication despite our hard times, for He has faithfully promised to eventually work out all things for our good. And that's possibly the most important promise for us to recognize and accept in this evil and ungodly world; that everything will be alright in the end. So please, let's hold on tightly to that ever-faithful promise of our ever-faithful God! Much LOVE!

Satan likes to fill us with fear, but believers in Christ need to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God which gives power, LOVE and a disciplined mind. Fear should never be mentioned amongst our characteristics. Just like how Bruh Joseph stood up before Pharaoh, one of the most powerful pagan kings and told him what his God was going to do, likewise we must be strong and stand up to all who come against us carrying a torch of fear, which we should repel with the truth of God's word and His Holy Spirit. It's not easy to live for Christ in this evil and ungodly world, but if we're truly serious about our discipleship, God will make a way for us to do it, even where there seems to be no way! Just stand strong in the faith! Much LOVE!

Life's not easy. It never was, and it never will be! Once sin entered it, everything turned around for the worse. But believers in Christ Jesus have what it takes to turn the world back around. That's why Jesus gave us the Great Commission. He expects us to make things better, to improve the situations for our fellow man through His LOVE, peace and steadfastness. So, although we will face many difficulties in our faith walk, we have Christ's assurance, as well as the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Holy Trinity, which dwells within us, to lead and guide us, to enable us to stand strong in Christ's name and do the things we were assigned to do. So let's do just that nuh. Give Satan a run for his money, show him the majesty and power we possess by releasing the diligence, excellence and faithfulness in our souls and spirits and do the right thing in Christ's name! Much LOVE!

Ah friends, today's society is filled with lots of greed and selfishness. In fact it's become the normal and standard way of life. The me first behaviour is rampant in our ungodly and evil world. But that's exactly the opposite way that our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus taught us. He expects us to LOVE and serve each other, to be kindhearted and help others in their time of need. But unfortunately, that's not how life is proceeding in these turbulent and difficult times. But we have to change it, if our children and grandchildren are to see better days than we're currently seeing! Yes my fellow saints, it's become our bounden duty to do all we can, with the utmost sincerity to turn this ungodly and evil world around, so that our fellow man have the abundant life that Christ died for him to have! Please, I plead with us to remember that and get out there and action it! Much LOVE!

Christ came to earth to save sinners, and thus shed His precious sinless blood to pay for our sins. But along with His saving grace we also received other things like direct access to our heavenly Father. Yes friends, we can take all our burdens and problems directly to the Father, with the confidence that He will hear and answer us. But just remember it's only because of Jesus. So if you're not in league with him, then that option is not open to you. And remember too, that since Jesus was tempted down here on earth, just like we are, but sinless, He's able to empathize with us and help us to handle them. So why would I not accept Jesus' offer of salvation and live for Him exclusively eh? Much LOVE!

God has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us, and as we wend our way through this sinful and ungodly world, problems will undoubtedly crop up and cause us to doubt God's promise. But as a true believer in Christ, we must hold on to that promise with the utmost of faith, otherwise, as soon as problems crop up, we will certainly be tempted to lose faith and begin drifting away from God, under the enemy's deceitful encouragement. That's why it's important to know God's Word and feed on it continuously, so that your faith will remain strong and the enemy can't get you turned away from your heavenly Father. Much LOVE!

Ah friends, Satan's avowed purpose is to turn us away from Almighty God, and have us commit his evil deeds that will cause us to end up in hellfire with him. That's why it's ever so important to be always on the lookout for his evil and deceitful schemes, just like he's always on the lookout for someone whom he can deceive. And the only way to do that is by keeping the Word of God sincerely entrenched in our hearts, bodies, souls and minds, so that it can be easily retrieved when the evil one brings his temptations against us, with a deceitful smile on his deceitful face!, and we staunchly turn him back by speaking the powerful Word! Much LOVE!

Oh friends, life is not a bed of roses, but is full of ups and downs because of our sinful nature. Thus we can't expect to experience all good times and no tough ones. But those tough times are very important in the growing and maturing of our faith, for it's in those tough times that our faith grows, when we realize that we have no one else but Almighty God to depend on, and we humbly bow our will to His. So good times are good, and we all like to experience them, but the fact is that good times do nothing for our spiritual maturity because we don't have to expend any real faith during those periods. So please, let's enjoy the good times, but not lose our faith in the tough ones, and instead let those unfruitful times build our faith in Christ Jesus, so that we can continue being fruitful in His most worthwhile cause. Much LOVE!

Many of us have dreams that we believe come from God, and rightly so, but those dreams are very seldom plain and straightforward, and are likely to cause confusion between us and our friends and family like Bruh Joseph's dreams did. So, sometimes it's best to just keep quiet about our dreams and work quietly on them, until we have a better understanding of their purpose, and how they will play out. Obviously Bruh Joseph didn't think like that and it caused much hatred and resentment in his family, until he was unfortunately sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. Yes, friends and family can be very envious and vindictive if they don't like what they're hearing about your dream. But please, if you know it's God-given, then don't give up on it, even if you have to bear some trials and tribulations to bring it to fruition, for the Lord will never allow you to suffer unnecessarily in doing His will and will always reward you magnanimously if you hold on to the end. So let's all hold on to the end with Jesus nuh! that's wisdom for the ages! Much LOVE!

Our world is going under...and quickly, due to the evil that's currently flourishing in it, and only true, strong and faithful believers in Christ Jesus, making a serious effort can turn things around. Yes friends, only as we make a difference will our world change. It's up to us bring change for our children and grandchildren to have a good life in the future. Let's get to it nuh. They are depending on us...as well as Jesus Christ! Much LOVE!
