Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 New Living Translation Bible
Boy is that hard to do, wait patiently.
There has been a few times when while being unfairly severely abused the Lord told me to wait patiently and things will swing my way while the perpetrators will receive just punishment from the Lord. It took about three years of being brave and courageous and not giving up before what the Lord revealed to me came to pass. It is heartening to see the wait was worth it but heartache to watch the perpetrators receive their just rewards (and they still are).
I always thought myself to be a patient man, until becoming a Christian. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Boy is that ever rewarding to do, wait patiently.
There has been a few times when it just did not seem worth it to continue on in the path the Lord had requested that be taken. Having faith is what carried me through. Then it seemed as if things were happening rapid fire as the blessing multiplied one after another as had been promised.
“If we wait upon God, there is no danger. If we rush on, He must let us see the consequences of it.” — John Darby
Prayer: I thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) that You are always faithful to do as You promise to do in Your time and in Your way. I thank you for teaching me to be patient because Your timing and Your mannerism is far superior to mine. I laud You in the name of He who made the supreme sacrifice for me at just the right time in just the right manner Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today.
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Matthew 3:8 New Living Translation Bible
I have experienced it numerous times when a teacher. A student is caught being naughty. To avoid punishment they promise not to misbehave again. No sooner does class resume then they go right back to doing the same naughty things. The hammer comes down hard on them then even though they beg for forgiveness and promise not to commit the offence again. Not just to punish them for being naughty but to punish them for abusing teachers grace and to make an example out of them to the other student so they behave in class. It works fantastically. If the student refuses to behave they are expelled from class. If the parents argue about it there is a meeting with all the parents. It is explained to them the child refuses to behave themselves. Because of this I cannot teach the class. Vote for it. How many parents want that naughty child to come back in to class. The overwhelming number refuses and chases the naughty child and their parent out of class (this was in China).
So too it is with Jehovah.
There is no sense in confessing to any sin without any intention to take the necessary action to stop committing the offence. Your confession is meaningless. You will forfeit any right to enter Heaven and will instead be cast into eternal damnation in Hell for your wicked deeds.
“It is an abuse to confess any kind of sin, mortal or venial, without a will to be delivered from it, since confession was instituted for no other end.” — François de Sales
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah M’Kaddesh (The Lord is my Sanctifier) for blessing me with the wisdom and strength to purge myself of that which is detestable unto You and repulsive unto me. I worship You in the name of He who cleansed the leper who was willing to dip into the Jordan river Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today.
Do not hide from relatives who need your help. Isaiah 58:7 New Living Translation
This is something that needs to be done so much in todays society.
In the winter time instead of playing sports or playing video games go over and shovel grannies sidewalk and driveway for her in the winter. Cut her grass for her in the summer, rake the leaves for her in the fall. Take her grocery shopping, help with the housework.
If you see someone has problems with money, especially the younger ones, help them make a budget.
If a relative is having homework problems spend time with them and help them.
If someone is having personal problems sit and listen to them and share your experiences with them to help them.
Now that does not give them carte blanche to abuse you like continuously free loading off of you because they spend their money foolishly or refuse to get a job because they are lazy. That is hurting them and preventing them from maturing.
And, being a Christian, everyone that is a Christian is a member of the family.
It is the Christian duty (which is an act of love) to help those who are in need of help (and not waste time nor resources on those who are too lazy to help themselves). Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able) bless me to be able to distinguish between those in need and those who are leeches. Please bless me with the time, resources and skill to help those in need to not only alleviate their needs but to bring them ever closer to You. I virtuously implore You in the name of He who has enabled me to receive the keys to Heavens Gate Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Speaking not only from my own experience but from listening to those who are caring for their elder parents they receive nothing but continuous slaps in the face for their loving care. Then when many of the adult children are mentally and physically exhausted and put the parents into a seniors home the parents cry baby and try to blame the children all the while refusing to take responsibility for their own actions. Add to that that the care givers seldom receive any help from their siblings who are usually leeches. The only time they call the parent is when they want money from them.
It seems to me that the most ungrateful folks are the ones that need the help the most yet abuse those who are helping them. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Although this may seem like a curse it is in reality a blessing.
Because, it is in our hard times that we grow the closest to Jehovah and develop the deepest of love, respect and appreciation for Him. Here are some words of encouragement and strength from our loving, caring Father when we feel beaten down by the ungrateful abusive behaviour of those we are helping.
Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. Colossians 3:23 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. Galatians 6:9 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
“God never made a promise that was too good to be true.” — Dwight L. Moody
Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with the will of God must [continue to] do right and commit their souls [for safe-keeping] to the faithful Creator. 1 Peter 4:19 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
“Where God’s finger points, there God’s hand will make a way.”
Prayer: Oh Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) I cannot praise You enough for Your wonderful love, strength, provision, comfort, healing, wisdom and encouragement to continue on being obedient unto Your command;If a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents,for this is pleasing to God. 1 Timothy 5:4 Holy Bible, New International Version. Please comfort those who, because of the selfishness, brutish behaviour and contempt of their aged parents or grand parents towards the care givers they cannot endure the contemptuous behaviour any more and have to put them in a seniors home. Do not allow the wicked parents or grand parents to put a guilt trip on the adult children. It is their own fault they are where they are. I exalt You and humbly beseech You in the name of He who is loving and the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
Blessed[morally courageous and spiritually alive with life joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man. Luke 6:22 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
The closer you get to Christ the more offensive you will be around those who delight in walking in darkness.
If folks truly did not believe in Jesus why would they be so insulted by those living His lifestyle?
It is because they do know there is a Supreme God (Jehovah) and they are willingly giving Him the finger by living for themselves and not for Him. When they see those of us in Jehovahs family it nags at their conscience on where they are going to be spending eternity. That is what angers them.
Better to be temporarily scorned by others here on earth than permanently by Christ in Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Oh my most beloved Jesus Pyyrand (Jesus my best friend) there is no ridicule, scorn nor any other abuse that can be inflicted upon me that can move me one inch from You. Indeed, it only brings me closer into Your beautiful sphere which is the greatest blessing of all. I give all praise to You me love for such an amazing gift. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. Colossians 3:23 Holy Bible Amplified Version
It is a given that we have all at one time or another worked for Mr. Or Miss Perfectionist. You know the type. It does not matter how hard you work or how good the end results of your labour is, it is never good enough for them. We get to the point where we give up attempting to please them because we know it will never please them. (from my experience this points to very serious problems in their lives that they refuse to deal with so they take it out on others).
There have been so many times I have wanted to punch these twits in the face, tell them to shove it and walk away. The Lord asked me to stay and continue my work with the high standards He has instilled in my work effort. Oh so many times at the end of the contract so many others have approached me and confided that they have great respect for me in staying because they would have walked away. They wonder where I got the strength to endure this abuse. That is then the truth is revealed to them that it was not by my strength but by the Holy Spirits strength that was sent by Jehovah through Jesus that I not only endured but prospered.
On the other hand, oh how the heart dances with joy when we hear the Lord say unto us: “Well done good and faithful servant.” at the completion of these strenuous times.
Serve Christ or serve satan, it is your choice. Be careful, your eternity depends upon which master you choose. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) for the privilege of serving such a wonderful King such as You. Thank you for sending me the Holy Spirit to guide me with His wisdom and strength to accomplish the Holy tasks You assigned You servant to fulfill according to Your Divine will. I sing this praise unto You in You majestic name. Amen
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation
Do you foolishly believe satan is going to roll over and allow you to destroy his handi- work?
If not (and we should not) then when you are serving others by serving Christ expect a fight.
It was the first century Christians that began to stop infanticide. Babies used to be thrown into the garbage dump like trash. Sound familiar with abortion today? Yes they had to fight against it, including giving up their own lives. Instead of getting into yelling contests with the baby murderers (you are taking a innocent life, that is murder) we need to have a loving conversation with those going in for an abortion. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Before you do that learn our rights under international law. Get a copy of the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/cescr.aspx Learn them and always carry a copy with you. As well have a cam recorder with you at all times so that when the opponent films you and changes it to make you look bad you have your own copy to defend yourself with.
The same goes to defend our rights to protect our children against the perverts of the homosexual community teaching this filth in schools. We can engage in respectful conversation with the homosexual community but when they try to illegally force it on us we are to fight for our children legally. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Next use it to defend our rights to have Bible classes in schools. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Every time one of the politically correct, whether they be an individual, organization or a government figure trying to suppress your Christian rights bring these documents out and defend not just yourself but the Christian community at large.
Instead of encouraging abusive lifestyle of drugs, booze and welfare Christians should organize and help these folks become contributing members of society and they gain self respect. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Every one of these are going to be battles but our society depends upon them to prevent it from self destructing. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Look at the Roman Empire and see what a degenerate society they were in the times of Jesus and how it slowly caused its collapse. Societies that become degenerate collapses from with in not from outside forces. Just study history to confirm it. Watch this video about Roman society being perverts and look at your society today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhP-OUt1Eos
We Christians can change our society at the grassroots. Soon the grass will choke out the weeds. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“Christians are supposed to not merely endure change, not even to profit by it, but to cause it.” — Henry Emerson Fosdick
Prayer: Please Jehovah Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) instill in me wisdom, strength and grace to defend both my rights but also the rights of all Christians in our society to express Your truth unto those walking in darkness. I humbly beseech You in the name of the Superior Warrior King Jesus Christ. Amen.
