TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“REMIND PEOPLE to be submissive to [their] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work.”
(Titus 3:1, AMP)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
What do you do to honor God? A lot of times people think, “I go to church to honor God. I read my Bible to honor God. I sing and clap in worship to honor God.” And yes, those are ways to honor God, but did you know that you honor God just as much when you get to work on time? You honor God when you are productive each day and honor the people in authority over you. You honor God when you excel in your career.
Actions speak louder than words. When you give your very best in the workplace, your whole life is giving praise to God. Showing up with a good attitude, being friendly, organized, just being your best — people will notice there’s something different about you. They’ll want what you have.
As believers, we should set the standard in all areas of life. People should see the depth of your character and your spirit of excellence and know that you are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision to honor Him in all that you do because You are His representative in the earth today!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I choose to honor You in all that I do. I choose to set the standard and do my very best. Thank You for the privilege to be Your representative. Help me to show Your love and excellence in everything I do. I love You and bless You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
Just asked god for a salary increase 2 years ago still waiting ! what should I do ?
Mbuzi, God knows what you “need”! He will grant it… His time and way of answering is always the best!!! just keep believing God!!!
Mbuzi ni mbuzi mwe.Self centredness wanting answers their and then.Not respectin God’s time.Commandin God.Bare in mind that God knws wat that increament might do to u.and he might have increased it indirectly by no salary based funds.look around u.Learn to treat our father God with the maturity he deserves.
Mbuzi you asked a wrong God.Ask God with capital G not god.
Thank you heavenly father for all your blessings. I will always honor you Amen
Thank you father for your blessings, you have kept me this far and shown me the most unexpected wonders in my life. I ask for your continued blessings to my family, workmates and all my day to day acquaintances. Amen.
It’s funny how believers are always defending and finding excuses for their god and bible. If your prayers are not answered you’ll get the excuse of gods time is not your time. I think it should be god and the bible who should be defending believers.
We also honour God by what we say. There is power in words. Timely advise to fwllow bloggers, lets mind what we say in our comments. Let us avoid comments that fuel hatrage among tribes as i have seen. Lets say those things that will unite us. Each time we say something bad about a tribe, we are widening a gap between them and us and eventually these are the things that bring strife, mistrust and then civil wars in countries. Just thot i shud contribute.
May the peace that comes only through the fear and knowledge of God be with all of us. Amen
That’s perfect, we need to honor God with what we say. We shift too much. When its Gospel time, we sound Holy and wen it’s political we insult!
I don’t understand the believers god. They claim he is all powerful and knowing etc. Yet their god always wants to be praised, honored etc. How he required sacrifice to forgive sins. He had to send his ‘son’ as sacrifice to forgive sins. And yet they preach of free will? If their god was powerful as they claim he does not need human sacrifice to forgive sins, he does not need to be praised to feel good, he does not need to be honored to feel important. He does not answer prayers on time. He did not have to chose one race as his chosen people etc.
Facts thats Christians do not want you to know.
1. Most christian beliefs and celebrations originate from pagan religions. Most of these believes existed long before Jesus was born. The similarities between Jesus and Mithra are stunning. There is more many legends like Zeus, Buddha.
2. The four gospels were not written by Jesus’s disciples and the constantly contradict each other. ie Matthew 2:15, 19 & 21-23 The infant Christ was taken into Egypt contradict to Luke 2:22 & 39 The infant Christ was NOT taken to Egypt.
There is many of facts that prove that Christianity is a false religion.
The Jews killed Jesus and are still waiting for their messiah? Are they wrong?
@Ine ndine ba Zambia thanks for your quations.
1. all false religion stated in Babylon after the flood by nimrod.The very first rebellion against our creator started
in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod and his mother.
His family devised a new religion that would replaced the worship of the true God.
Babylonian religion invaded the whole world and is the basis for every system of idolatry.
The world’s major religions can be traced back to ancient Babylon. Nimrod was the human “father” of all false religion.
2. I dont see any contradiction in the books you have quoted.
Rule number 1 there are no contradions in the the bible.
Rule number 2 if you think you have found a contradition refer to rule number 1.
What is wreten in the gospels are just summaries. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen(John 21:25)
Amen
# @. Injera . Wise words ! Thanks
What a wonderful book the world has ever received. It has no contradictions as some above want others to believe. Actually what @Indine has refered to are basics . They are for babies in spirit. If he has a willing spirit he can easily understand. As christians we view life from spiritual point of view .lt is very difficult for these that have limited their view of God to physical point of view. Our God lives and His Christ ,our Lord lives and He is right now working. Thank you king Jesus! Every knee shall bow before you and every mounth confess that you are the Lord. Including the dead gods of these that have conviced themselves to be right out of the contradiction they have created within themselves.
@Osmuka let me tell you that I have three bibles and I read the bible a lot more times than you. You’ll need to realize that it’s people that wrote the bible and it does have many errors and mistakes. You fear is to accept these mistakes because it will weaken you faith in Jesus, hence your resolve to defend the bible at all cost. Ask me to point out the contradictions in the bible and I will point them out. Hope you’ll have courage to explain them. Christianity is a fake religion based on lies. If Jesus is god how does he have brothers and sisters, how does he die, how does he curse that which he created? If Jesus is god why did he only preach in one region when there was people living in Africa, Asia, America assuming he knew.
Maybe instead of honoring God, what we should do is pay tribute to our intelligence as a species and jettison all this religious nonsense outright. I think not believing in God is the best course of action, certainly the most reasonable.
THE WORD OF GOD IS FOOLISHNESS TO THE NON BELIEVERS BUT IT IS SALVATION TO THE BELIEVERS.
I PRAY THAT YOU BLOGGERS WHO ARE MOCKING GOD, YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES BE OPENED TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND THAT YOU MAY UNDERSTAND WHY HE HAD TO SHED HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY. BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE BECAUSE HEAVEN AND HELL ARE REAL. IF YOU DIE WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS YOU WILL GO TO HELL AND THE THING IS EVERYONE IN HELL KNOWS AND CALLS FOR JESUS BUT IT IS TOO LATE. MAY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY FORGIVE YOU FOR MOCKING HIM IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN
Yaawn
That’s about all it deserves…
@ THe unbelievers and believers. Jesus was killed by the Jews because he claimed to be from the line of David when Joseph was not his biological father? He claimed to be King of the Jews which he was not? Why didn’t he claim to be King of the Romans, Gentiles etc, why Jews? He claimed to be the messiah which according to Jewish definition he does not qualify. Why did people in his home Town reject him? Because they knew his true identity and family history. what the hell is spiritual eyes? Believing in a book that promotes slavery? Murder? Deceit? Insest? Believing that Jesus is god and died for my sin? Oh dear. By the way the bible says the earth has four corners, do you believe in that as well?
