Sometimes I imagine if many genuine CHILDREN of GOD in Christ in this World thinks that GOD is a fool or can be fooled like we humans.
The Bible reveals that:
1. Be not DECEIVED. God is not MOCKED (fooled). For whatsoever a man (or a woman) SOWS, that shall he (or she) also REAP.
For he (or she) that SOWS to his (or her) FLESH (lustful desire) shall of the FLESH (lustful desire) REAP CORRUPTION (death). But he (or she) that SOWS to the SPIRIT (love of God desire) shall of the SPIRIT (love of God desire) REAP LIFE everlasting.
And let us not be WEARY (tired) in WELL (right and godly) doing. For in DUE SEASON we shall REAP, if we FAINT not... (Galatians 6:7-10; James 1:12-15).
2. ...the FOOLISHNESS of GOD is WISER than men. And the WEAKNESS of GOD is STRONGER than men. (1 Corinthians 1:25).
3. For My THOUGHTS are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My WAYS, says the Lord.
For as the Heavens are HIGHER than the Earth, so are My WAYS higher than your ways and My THOUGHTS than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55: 8,9).
Therefore, the Bible counsels you and I thus:
1. Let no man (or woman) DECEIVE (fool) himself (or herself). If any man (or woman) among you seems to be WISE in this World, let him (or her) become a FOOL, that he (or she) may WISE.
For the WISDOM of the World is FOOLISHNESS with GOD. For it is written, He (God) takes the WISE in their own craftiness.
And again, the LORD knows the THOUGHTS of the WISE, that they are VAIN (foolishness).
Therefore, let no man (or woman) GLORY (boast) in men (people). For ALL things are yours. (1 Corinthians 3:18-21).
2. ...Be you DOERS of the WORD (of God) and not HEARERS only, DECEIVING (fooling) your own selves (not God).
For if any be a HEARER of the WORD (of God) and not a DOER, he (or she) is like unto a man (or woman) beholding (looking) his (or her) natural face in glass (mirror).
For he (or she) beholds (looks) himself (or herself) and goes his (or her) way and straightway forgets what manner (kind) of man (or woman) he (or she) was.
But whoso LOOKS into the PERFECT law of LIBERTY (freedom) and continues therein, he (or she) being not a forgetful HEARER, but a DOER of the WORK, this man (or woman) shall be BLESSED in his (or her) DEED (work or doing). Halelluyah! (James 1:22-25).
So, if you and I do not SOW into our lives and affairs in this World according to the WORDS, WAYS and WILLS of God in Christ, we shouldn't be expecting to REAP from His (God's) BENEVOLENCE (good gesture) in Christ in this World. Yes, we shouldn't! (1 John 5:14,15).
We have to think, speak and LIVE the way JESUS CHRIST and His early Disciples lived in Christ in this World first, before we should be expecting their kind of miracles, signs and wonders they got from God in Christ in this World. Yes, we have to get their type of SACRED (consecrated) life and SACRIFICIAL (selfless) living mindset, to get their types of results they got from God in Christ in this World. This is because they (the early disciples of Jesus Christ) truly desired to PLEASE God in Christ in ALL things in this World. True! (Acts 1-5).
In the next couple of days, I will love you to faithfully and prayerfully follow me as the Holy Spirit unravel through me on sowing in and reaping from a JESUS-centered LIVING in Christ in this World. Will you?
However, For today, I will be informing you about SOWING in and REAPING from a JESUS-centered LIFE as as one of your sacred and sacrificial LIVING in Christ in this World.
The Bible says that:
Wherefore SEEING we (you and I) also are COMPASSED (surrendered) about with so GREAT a CLOUD (crowd) of witnesses, let us lay aside every WEIGHT (of habits and idols) and the SIN which does so easily beset (entice) us and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is SET before us,
LOOKING unto JESUS the Author and Finisher of our faith. Who for the JOY (reward) that was set before Him endured the CROSS (suffering meant for Him to obtain the reward), despising the shame and is set down at the Right Hand of the Throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:1,2; James 1:12-16; 1 John 4:17).
How are you to RUN the RACE set before you by GOD in Christ in this World? How?
The Bible reveals thus:
...You PRESENT (humbly submit) your bodies as a LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable SERVICE (to God).
And be not CONFORMED (patterned) to this WORLD. But be TRANSFORMED (changed) by the RENEWING (changing) of your MIND (with the Word of God by the help of the Spirit of God within you), that you may PROVE (know convincingly) what is that good, acceptable and PERFECT WILL of GOD (for you in Christ oar time aand situation in this World). Halleluyah! (Romans 12:1,2).
The Bible reveals further that:
... As HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE (in Him) in this World. (1 John 4:17).
Therefore, to SOW in and REAP from a JESUS-centered LIFE in Christ in this World as Jesus Christ did when He was in this World physically, you will have to:
LOVE GOD completely, because you have being made complete in Him (Christ). (Mark 12:28-31; Colossians 2:8-10).
INVOLVE in only things that PLEASES GOD in Christ against all odds in this World. (1 John 2:15-17; 2 Timothy 2:1-7).
FOCUS on discovering and fulfilling your divine, specific and unique CAUSE (purpose) and COURSE (path) in Christ in this World. (John 4:34; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; John 17:1-5).
EXPRESS your belief and faith in Christ to anyone who cares to hear or know about your Christ in this World. (Romans 1:15-18; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
To achieve the above statements about sowing and reaping from a JESUS-centered LIFE:
1. Your DECISIONS must be JESUS-centered based in this World. That is, both the Word of God and Spirit of God driven. (Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Romans 8:14; Colossians 3:16).
2. Your CHOICES must be JESUS-centered based in this World. That is, both the Word of God and Spirit of God driven. (Joshua 24:15; Romans 8:14; Colossians 3:16).
If you do, the Bible reveals thus:
BLESSED is the man (or woman) that WALKS not in the COUNSEL (advice) of the UNGODLY, nor STANDS in the WAY of SINNERS, nor SITS in the SEAT of the SCORNFUL.
But his (or her) DELIGHT (love) is in the LAW (Words, Ways and Wills) of the LORD. And in His LAW (Words, Ways and Wills) does he (or she) MEDITATE day and night (to take godly decisions and makes godly choices).
And he (or she) shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water, that brings forth his (or her) FRUIT (reaping) in his (or her) SEASON. His (or her) leaf also shall not wither and WHATSOEVER he (or she) does shall PROSPER. Halleluyah!
(Psalm 1:1-3; Isaiah 1:19,20; Philippians 4:8,9).
Taking godly DECISIONS and making godly CHOICES become natural and normal for you, if you have already programmed or patterned by the help of the Spirit of God within you:
1. Your mind to THINK in terms of the Words, Ways and Wills of God in Christ in this World par time. (Philippians 4:8,9).
2. Your mouth to SPEAK in terms of the Words, Ways and Wills of God in Christ in this World. (Matthew 12:34-37).
3. Your life to LIVE in terms of the Words, Ways and Wills of God in Christ in this World. (Psalm 19:7-14).
LIFE-DECISIONS are yours to take. Take them wisely and smartly each day in Christ in this World with the help of the Spirit of God within you.
LIFE-CHOICES are yours to make. Make them wisely and smartly each day in Christ in this World with the help of the Spirit of God within you.
And you will be reaping the good FRUITS of your sacrificial, but wise and smart DECISIONS and CHOICES in Christ, because God rewards faithfulness because He is a faithful God and Rewarder. (Galatians 6:7-10; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Hebrews 11:6).
Welcome to a glorious week in Jesus name.
God bless you.
