SCRIP-BITS

We can all talk a good talk, but walking that talk is always much more difficult. And, unfortunately, that's the problem so many of us believers face in trying to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that Jesus said we were, or should be. But if we truly believe in Jesus, and His Holy Spirit that indwells us, then we will know that we can do anything He desires of us. But too many of us are fat and lazy, and LOVE the good life of the world too much, so that we no longer want to sacrifice anything for Jesus. And following Jesus does mean some self-sacrifice at some time or other. Following Jesus is no Sunday afternoon stroll in the park, but a serious affair, that calls for tough times and strong faith. And we do have ALL we need to overcome the evil doings of this world, we just have to believe! True belief is the number ONE requirement my people! So let's start truly believing, so that we can do what needs to be done! Much LOVE!

A lot of people are running around right now, lost, confused and mentally challenged, and Jesus is depending on us to help them come to him. We are labourers in Jesus' spiritual harvest, but there just aren't enough of us to go around. However, those of us who are still able, ought to be reaping a harvest from the great throng of unbelievers currently populating our world. Please, for a change, let's listen to Almighty God rather than Satan, and do His will rather than that of Satan's. Much LOVE!

Living for and with Jesus is a must if we ever hope to live the good and abundant life, because the devil is always walking around trying to tempt us into sin and evil doing, and only through the triumphant word of Jesus can we keep him at bay. The devil is a liar and a cheat, and his only purpose is to turn us away from Almighty God and become lost and eternally separated from Him, and headed for hellfire and damnation like his satanic majesty is. But that's not a wise road to travel for it's the worst thing that can happen to a human soul. So please, let's be wise and instead, live sincerely and successfully for Jesus, for that's life and living at its best! Much LOVE!

Our world is filled with sin, darkness and evil, the traits and habits of Satan, and if we are to get out of them, we need to call on Almighty God for help! Why? Because He is the ONLY ONE, with the power and willingness to get us out of the dangerous and evil clutches of his satanic majesty! Only when we seek God with a true and sincere heart can, or will we be set free, saved from the evil mire in which we're drowning. Please don't allow Satan to fool you with his sweet lies and deceptions, for he has no good intentions towards you. Only God has. So be wise and turn to Him with all your heart, soul, body and mind! Much LOVE!

To be a true disciple of Jesus, He must be both our Saviour and our Lord. That means completely giving over our lives to Him, in full surrender, and following Him in whatever capacity He desires of us. It's not easy, and takes a lot of self-sacrifice, but it's certainly worthwhile because of the many wonderful things He does for and through us as we walk confidently and sincerely with Him. Following Jesus is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who treasure the things of the world, but when you follow Him you will need for nothing. As Bruh David says: 'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.' (Ps. 23:1) And that's His faithful promise! Whatever you need, He will provide, and He can, because the world and all therein belongs to Him. Yes friends, following Jesus is difficult, but He's also promised never to leave nor forsake those who come to Him, and enable us, through the power of His Holy Spirit that indwells all believers, to do His divine will. And I promise you, your worst day with Jesus, will be better than your best day without Him. Much LOVE!

Ah friends, sadly the worshipping of idols is still a big deal amongst us, but it's utter foolishness. How can you worship something that man has made, an inanimate, object, that cannot move, see, hear, understand or do anything at all but just stand stonily and stare at you. It just doesn't make sense. But unfortunately idol worship is coming back into vogue because many of us are turning away from the One True God Jehovah. And that's so unwise, because He is the the Creator and Controller of the universe, and is the ONLY ONE who can truly do anything for us. All the other man-made idols are worthless, useless and an abomination unto the name of the Lord. So please, let's wake up and be wise nuh. We cannot bow down and worshipping something that man has made, because they are dead, inanimate, and thus cannot do anything for us. Only the Living God Jehovah has the power to change things in us and in our world! That's the long and short of the story! Much LOVE!

God has made many promises to His people, and He has faithfully kept them all; like salvation and the power of His Word, but unfortunately we have not kept our part of the covenant relationship. We have not been as faithful as we ought to be. In fact we have turned against God and are trying to drive Him out of our society, which is an exercise in futility, for it will NEVER happen! Why can't we understand that Satan is a defeated foe, and all the flashy, false things he waves before our faces are just things that will drive us deeper into the mire than we already are. And that's Satan's avowed purpose; to turn us away from God. But we are the ones who suffer when we make that unwise decision. So please, let's make the wise decision to live for Christ, so that the hills and mountains, all the land will break forth in good harvest and sing and shout for joy. That's wisdom for the ages! Much LOVE!

Oh friends, the level of evil and hate in our world are growing more deadly every day, and we are the ones, we believers are the ones entrusted to change it. But we cannot do it until we start showing brotherly LOVE to each other and not repaying evil for evil. The world teaches us to live an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but Jesus teaches us to live in LOVE and leave any repayment to Him. He will repay it in His own time and manner. So please, let's ramp up our fight for Jesus nuh, and start bringing down the level of hate and evil in our world. We have all the tools to do it. That's if we want our children's children to enjoy a better world than we are currently doing. Much LOVE!

Living for Jesus is wonderful, but it's not easy. Many times, although we might not want to, we just have to grit our teeth and do what is necessary to serve the Lord and spread His good news so that others can hear about it and want to know Him. That means we are often the only representation of Jesus that the unbeliever will see, and unless we represent Him well, they won't want to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. That's how important our witness is in these ungodly and difficult times. So please let's get truly serious about serving Jesus, for that's the only way we can bring about positive change in our evil and crazy world. Much LOVE!

What a child learns early in life stays with them throughout their entire life. That's why it's ever so important to teach children godly principles from the very beginning. If the parents don't teach them about God, then someone else will teach them about the devil because ungodliness and evil are so rampant in our current world. They don't teach about God in schools any longer, and if you are not brought up to go to church, then how will you learn about God? It's the parents' responsibility to teach the children about God, not depend on others to do so. And that's why this current generation is so godless and wants to have nothing to do with God. Most of the blame for that lies at the feet of we, the parents. Much LOVE!
