Don't be Discouraged

Psalm 55-22
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.''
Discouragement is a life threatening state of mind, as it renders an individual vulnerable to attacks by enemies of the soul.
In most situations, discouragment is inevitable in the life of a believer, however, Jesus Christ is the solution.
It destroys the faith of a believer and wrecks havoc on an individual's will power to live.
The enemy always makes use of the weapon of discouragement, but it is left for you to ward off same, by having a mindset devoid of resentment and bitterness.
The devil makes use of discouragement to destroy initiative and render an individual useless and disillusioned. For these reasons, you must be strong in faith and reassure yourself that all things will continue to be good.

Service

We want our heroes to remain on their pedestals, so that we who aspire to be like them may hope one day to share in the honor and privilege they enjoy.
Jesus Christ's humility shows itself in his readiness to serve us.
Ours shows our readiness to receive His service.
It is said that it is better to give than to receive.
But it is sometimes harder to receive, it puts us in debt to the one who gives and robs us of the pride of being in the position of giving to others.
Read-Luke 16:13, Joshua 24:15

The True Vine
- By solomon2day

- In Special Report
There is no distinction between the vine and its branches. From the moment it emerges from the soil, the vine begins to spread.
It is its branch.
To belong to Jesus Christ is to be part of the true vine.
For this reason, we can pray in complete confidence, because when our wills are united with his, we will pray as part of the living vine.
The image of Jesus Christ is all about growth, which happens organically, from within the very substance of the vine.
Nourished by the sun, by rain and chemicals which feed it from the soil in which it is planted, the vine forces its way into the light.
We have here an image of growth which gives us a powerful understanding of what it means to belong to Jesus Christ.

Between Good and Evil

Avoid sowing evil, it only results in destruction. The word of God brings about happiness and peace. The devil is the enemy in the home, who influences all that is evil.
Husbands killing their wives and wives killing husbands is common place in society today. Why is this so ? The devil has infiltrated several homes. Fathers and mothers no longer bring up their children according to the word of God.
Teach your children the ways of the Lord, so that when they grow up they will not depart from the word of God.
Don't give the devil the opportunity to take over the affairs of your home, build your home on the foundation of the word of God.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Psalm 25
1(A Psalm of David.) Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

Worship God with Hymns
- By solomon2day
- On 27/07/2024
- In Special Report
Worship God through hymns of praises.
You express your faith in God and His son through hymns.
By singing the hymns, you bring out the thanksgiving of your heart to God for His abundant blessings on you.
Hymns are reflections of your redemption and victory through Christ.
Take not to avoid :
1)Using hymns to insult people. Singing to abuse and degrade others is common place in society, most especially when there is rancor or conflict.
2)Using hymns to express non-existent feelings of the heart.
3)Using hymns hypocritically.
Hymns must reflect the sincerity of your heart as a Christian, to God. Through these hymns you can be blessed abundantly by God.
Learn to use the hymns as a means of comfort and hope in times of despair and as an assurance of salvation in Christ.
Always sing of love, peace, joy and hope, as you strive to avoid depriving yourself of what is beneficial to all.
John 4 : 23-24
23 : But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
24 : God is a spirit and all who worship Him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.
