BE ALWAYS READY TO LEARN FROM JESUS

-
đź““Luke 10:39
_And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (KJV)_

Nowadays, many people profess to love Christ Jesus but they hardly pay attention to His Word. They are always busy for their work and other things to the extent that even talking to Jesus (prayer) and learning from Him (study) become problematic. Yet, to be an effective Christian, one must have the eagerness to learn from Christ Jesus. And to learn from Jesus means, to come to know who He is (the only way to God); to become informed of His justice (Judgement); and to find out what He has to offer us which is eternal life with God (salvation).

Actually, to know all these about Jesus, we must sit at His feet and learn from what He teaches. To consider all the aspects of the story of our opening verse, the two sisters, Martha and Mary loved Jesus. And both of them were serving Him, yet, Jesus acknowledged Mary's kind of serving. Jesus said to Martha, "There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her" - Luke 10:42 (nlt). Though Martha was serving, she failed to set her priorities right. So she was distracted and agitated by household chores (verse 40).

Beloved, are you so busy doing your own things that you are not spending any time with Jesus? Servant of God, are you so busy serving the church that you have no personal time with Jesus? Remember that not everyone who says to Jesus, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter God's Kingdom, but only those who does the will of His father [God] (Matthew 7:21). Unlike Martha, don't let any work you are doing either inside or outside church degrade into mere busywork that distract your personal time with the Lord. Know that having time for and with Jesus, thus, sitting at His feet and listening to what He teaches is the only one needful thing to discover in your Christian life. Always note that we are called to give attention to His Word first before the love for His Work take effect. First thing first!

PRACTICALIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

đź““1 Peter 2:21 _For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (KJV)_ Christianity is more practical than theological. Knowing about God; studying everything in the Bible doesn't make a Christian. Instead, what makes a Christian is living (practicing) what is studied and known about God through Christ Jesus. Although it is important to study or listen to God's Word, it is more important than one can take a stick at to obey and practice what it says. Therefore, professing to be Christians without godly effect on our behavior and attitude is futile. From our open verse, it obvious that we are called to live as Christ lived. Christ is our ultimate example. We are to walk in His footprints. So, not only by our mouth confessions, we are to practicalize our faith in Christ by giving ourselves to Him as living sacrifices which is holy and acceptable; allowing Him to transform our minds (Romans 12:1-

THE UNCHANGEABLE DEPENDABLE GOD

đź““Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (KJV)_ David said, "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" - Psalm 19:1. Despite all the evidences the nature (creation) reveal about God and His supremacy, many people still have shallow knowledge about God and even some don't believe in Him at all. They therefore limit the power of the Lord in situations. They face difficulties and think they are too big for the Lord to handle. However, our thoughts are not the thoughts of the Lord, neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8). The Lord is greater and bigger than everything and we are to know that. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and  we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" - Psalm 100:3. Beloved, the Lord Jesus never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though we live in a changing world, you can hope and trust the Lor

WHAT COMES TO THE MIND

đź““Romans 12:2 _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)_ Always, there are many thoughts that come to our mind that we don't expect. These thoughts come due to mainly what we see and hear. Sometimes, the devil also brings some thoughts to our mind just to tempt us. The mind always receives and works on our senses; what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It therefore, begins to work on what is received from any of the senses whether good or evil, but we can set guard over its works. It is said, "you can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from constructing a nest on your head". Likewise, we can't keep or prevent thoughts from coming to our mind but we can decide not to ponder (meditate) on them. Anytime we dwell on evil thoughts, our actions also become evil. Therefore, we need to delete s
