PESSIMISTS PROVED WRONG
John 1:44-46 KJV
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Never allow yourself to be pushed off the track by those who are quick in identifying one’s weaknesses and never spot the inestimable potentials in him, Be hopeful, believe and trust God, who is the Source of your hope and strength, work steadfastly towards actualizing that vision. Soon, very soon, it will be said of you that: YOU ARE A BLESSING TO YOUR GENERATION
Remain Blessed

THE MASTER'S BUSINESS
Text:
John 2:17 KJV.
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up
The zeal, passion, enthusiasm and diligence with which our Lord Jesus Christ worked in his days here on earth made the disciples to remember the above prophecy written about him in the book of Psalms.
When we are called to serve, 'it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.' 1 Cor. 4:2. When we take a self appraisal of our input, our actions and inaction over a period of time in the Lord's Vineyard, can we be bold like Paul in his epistle to Timothy say, 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith...' 2 Timothy 4:7-8 2. The zeal and dedication with which we execute businesses that we have personal interest in, is it in any way in direct proportion with how we handle the Master's work and interest?
We absorb every insult and public rebuke from our superiors in our offices, yet we keep the job but we are always quick to throw in the towel in the church even for a secret rebuke. We often defy all odds; not even the rain or the scourging sun can make us not to be punctual on our duty posts, but can we go same extra mile when it comes to the business of the Lord? We can walk for days in the desert without food and water trying to cross over borders to a country where there is likelihood of greener pastures but can we do same in taking the gospel to a people that have not yet known God?
God sent a message to king Hezekiah to put his house in order for death is imminent, but turning to God, he prayed: 'I beseech thee, O Lord , remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.... ' God added fifteen more years to him. Can we boast of one single thing we can hold on to when pleading our case with God?
If there is none, then the good news is that we can start now.
Remain Blessed!
