It's Vision beyond Materialism

The moment you loose focus on the vision and begin to chase after provision, you not only loose the greatest tag attached to the vision but also the divine provision that comes with a divine vision.

Hab 2:2 Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry

CONFESS JESUS 24/7 365

“Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.”     Matthew 10:32–33

The news has been full of horrific and barbaric acts against professing Christians around the world simply because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Evil knows no bounds and it seems the “birth pangs” of the end times as expressed in the gospels of Matthew and Mark are becoming more and more intense. Thankfully, those brave and committed Jesus-followers did not waver in their conviction of where their eternal security lay. God’s Word writes of “the 21” and many others martyred for the faith in Revelation 20:4b: "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God."

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you were confronted with a life or death decision such as this? It would be common sense and our natural instinct to protect our lives and even the lives of others by “playing the game” and verbally recanting our faith just to appease our captors. After all, the Lord “knows my heart” and will understand this detour so “I can continue to serve Him” in the days ahead.

The fact is, the Lord does know your heart all too well and that kind of thinking should give us pause. This scripture is the very word of Jesus and is certainly not conditional. Think about the huge impact on the world these martyrs have made because of their unwillingness to deny their Savior. Continuing “good deeds” would not have had this kind of effect from such strong conviction as to lay down one’s life. But we don’t have to be facing a physically threatening situation for an opportunity to deny Jesus. What about not speaking a positive word for Jesus at our workplace or neighborhood when conversation invites it? What about willingly participating in un-Christlike actions or events? It’s something to think about.

Our goal should be to honor and confess the Lord in all we do. It is then we identify with Jesus, and He with us as He presents us before the Heavenly Father as “Yes, Father, they are truly Mine.”  Paul encouraged Timothy  " For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day."

Now that you know, act and live it.

Live it don't Act it.

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16

With technology taking its place and people being in contact with the world a click away, that same person you knew or know as a devoted Christian is double faced. When you meet, he/she professes Jesus but his social accounts profess something else.
It's even becoming difficult to understand who a Christian is and who ain't.
The influence of the world on the ethical and moral standards is so great that the truth as found in the Bible is becoming harder to see. Where once we were light in the darkness, now some of our light has faded into obscurity, no longer seen in a world filled with darkness.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you call yourself a Christian, let me ask you a question. Is the Light of Christ, the Light of His Cross, shining through your life? Or is it really non-existent – invisible to others? Don’t allow your light to vanish without having a positive influence for Christ. You are the light of the world, walk, talk and act like one. The grace is sufficient.

If You Love Me...

If You Love Me…

"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love." - John 15:10

Moms and Dads, what is the greatest proof of your children’s love for you? Is it when they say they love you? That’s great, but does it prove they love you? No.  The real proof of their love is when they willingly obey you. Many people miss this truth.

The same holds true when it comes to loving God. Many say they love God, maybe even go to church regularly, but there isn’t much evidence of obedience to God’s rules in their lives – which, of course, is the real evidence of our love.

Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” The proof of our love is our willingness to obey God and His commands. Doesn’t it make you feel great when your child willingly obeys you? It gives you joy because you feel maybe they “got it.” Why don’t you give God the same joy? Obey Him because it’s your desire to do so. Love Him like you want to be loved by your own children.
