FRUITFUL HEART!

11/30/21

What is a knowing head without a fruitful heart?

— John Flavel (1627–1691)

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

John 15:16

Do you have a knowing head regarding your responsibility to share the Gospel with the lost but are not bearing fruit by actually doing so?

Do you have a knowing heard regarding the need to help fellow Christians to grow in their walk with the Lord but are not doing so?

Do you have a knowing heart regarding using your possessions, natural talents and spiritual gifts in serving the Lord but are failing to do?

Do you have a knowing head regarding the fact that the Lord could come at any moment but you are not living as though you really believe it?

Are you daily letting the Lord live out His life through you so that you are comforming to His will for every area of your life?

If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, come to Him NOW, before it is too late!

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

WHO IS IN THE BOAT?

11/28/21

Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.

John Ortberg

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

John 14:27

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

We face many types of storms in this life but ,with Jesus in the boat with us, we can experience His perfect peace (Isaiah 26:) which surpasses all understanding and which will guard our minds and hearts (Philippians 4:6-7). As a born-again believer, are you yielding daily to His Lordship and experiencing His perfect peace in all situations?

Is Jesus Christ, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), your Lord and Savior? If not, come to Him NOW!

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

THE GREATEST FEAR!

11/28/21

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter." - Francis Chan

“See then that ye walk circumspectly (carefully), not as fools, but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

Ephesians 4:15-16

If you are succeeding at everything but knowing and obeying the Lord’s will for your life, developing a passionate relationship with Him that results in seeking to lead lost people to Christ and the discipleship of fellow believers, supporting the Lord’s work by various means, etc., you are really a failure and not ready for the Lord’s return and the giving an account regarding your natural talents, spiritual gifts and all that He has given you.

If you do not belong to the Lord Jesus, come to Him NOW, while you can!

GOD’S PROMISES!

11/27/21

"Let God’s promises shine on your problems.”

Corrie ten Boom

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”

For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20, KJV & Amplifed

We face many problems in our journey to our heavenly home but the promises of our Lord regarding every one of them produces great joy, comfort and encouragement! I am so glad the Lord Jesus loves me and will fulfill ALL His promises to me!

Are you one of His and able to claim and experience His promises? If not , come to Him NOW!

THE JOURNEY
11/26/2021

"God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile" - Max Lucado

“For I reckon (consider) that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” - Romans 8:18

Ah, yes, when stop and consider the glorified bodies we are going to have forever and all the glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that we will experience along with all that He has prepared for us, which we cannot begin to fathom with our human minds in spite of the fact He has given us some information in His Word, the sufferings of this present life are not worthy to be compared (1 Corinthians 2:9). Paul, who suffered much and died as a martyr for Christ described all ou sufferings as a “llight affliction.” “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18). What a glorious reality awaits all who belong to Him!

Are you one of them? If not come to the Lord Jesus NOW!

BE THANKFUL!

11/25/21

“Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do – it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin.” – Jerry Bridges

““Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Chronicles 16:34

Every day should be THANKSGIVING DAY for the born-again believer! We sinf “Count Your Blessings” but it is impossible to do so because they are innumerable! We should thank the Lord every day for…..

-forgiveness of our sins and the gift of eternal life

-answered prayers

-the privilege of serving Him

-supplying all our needs

-for a home in Heaven with Him forever

-for an empty grave, etc.

If He did not rise from the dead, we have nothing to be thankful for because an eternity in Hell would be our destination.

If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, come to Him NOW!

A WEAK PRAYER!

11/24/21

Selfishness is never so exquisitely selfish as when it is on its knees. ... Self turns what would otherwise be a pure and powerful prayer into a weak and ineffective one.

Author: A.W. Tozer

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

Philippians 2:4, NKJV

When you pray, are you primarily focused on your interests or the interests of others? Your answer will reveal to you just how selfish you are. If we put the Lord first in our lives, we will be unselfish, seeking the interests of others and in turn all our needs will be met. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). If we submit to the Lordship of Christ, allowing Him to live out His life through us, we will not be self-centered people.

If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, come to Him NOW, while you can!

RIVALS TO THE MOST HIGH

11/23/21

The moment we glorify ourselves, since there is room for one glory only in the universe, we set ourselves up as rivals to the Most High.

C.H. Spurgeon

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

1 Corinthians 10:31

“And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

Colossians 1:18

To glorify ourselves is both an act of stupidity and insult to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We, who are born-again believers, have nothing to glory about. We are just sinners saved by His grace, and all that we have, including our natural talents and spiritual gifts are given to us by Him. Therefore, we should walk humbly with our Lord and let Him use us for His glory!

If you are not one of is, come to the Lord Jesus NOW!

Our Model

11/22/21

The Christian should take nothing short of Christ for his model.

C.H. Spurgeon

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”

1 Corinthians 11:1

The great Apostle Paul did not set himself up as the model for the Corinthian believers to imitate, only as he imitated Christ. Daily we should make the Lord Jesus our model and by yielding to is Lordship model His love for lost souls and do everything possible to reach them with the Gospel of Christ.

Likewise, we should model His love for each other.

Daily we must model His character, the Fruit of the Spirit, if we are going to make a difference in people’s lives and produce super-abundant fruit to His praise and glory.

If you are not one of His, come to Him NOW, while you can!

IMMUTABILITY!

11/21/21

Consider what you owe to His (OUR LORD’S) immutability. Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.

- Charles Spurgeon

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” - Malachi 3:6

I am glad that my Lord does not change in regard to…

-His love for me

-His longsuffering

-His mercy

-His grace

-His wisdom

-His giving perfect peace

-His future judgment of the nations, etc.

What an awesome Lord we, who belong to Him, have!

OUR VALUE!

God does not love us because we are valuable, but we are valuable because God loves us.

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”

Acts 20:28

God has proven His love for us by….

-choosing us before the foundation of the world

Ephesians 1:4

-giving His Son to die for us and provide eternal life for us

John 3:16

-providing all our needs through His Son, the Lord Jesus

Philippians 4:19

-giving us every type of grace needed - 1 Peter 5:10

THE HEART AT PEACE!

11/19/21

Faith has nothing to do with feelings or with impressions, with improbabilities or with outward experiences. If we desire to couple such things with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God, because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace.

- George Mueller

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

Yes, the born-again believer who puts their complete faith in the Lord in every situation will enjoy His perfect peace which surpasses all understanding. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). “Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

When perfect peace is enjoyed, the fullness of the Lord’s joy will be too (John 15:11).

The Lord will be exalted in every situation!

If your heart is not experiencing perfect peace because you are living outside of His will, get things right with Him NOW (1 John 1:9).

If your heart is not experiencing perfect peace because you are ot one of His, come to Him NOW! “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:12).

IN HIS HAND!

11/18/21

The higher the mountains, the more understandable is the glory of Him who made them and who holds them in His hand.

— Francis Schaeffer (1912–1984)

“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (are held together). - Colossians 1:17

Not only mountains are in the hand of the Lord who made them but all of creation. He holds all things together; He upholds them by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3).

Also, He holds the right hand of all who know Him as their Lord and Savior and gives every type of help needed. (“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee” (Isaiah 41:13).

Also, He and the Father hold us in their hands securely and we can never lose our salvation. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man (no one or nothing) pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand” (John 10:27-29).

Is He your Lord and Savior? If not, come to Him NOW!

THE REQUIREMENT FOR TRUE SUCCESS!

11/17/21

“There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.”

- George Mueller

“Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of (well-pleasing) to him.”

2 Corinthians 5:9

If you want to true success, the Lord’s richest blessings and empowerment for every area and situation of your life, you must die to self, your opinions, preferences, tastes, will, the world. You cannot be influenced by the opinion of others. The only opinion and will that matters is the Lord’s. When you get to that point, you will experience revival in your own life and the Lord will use you to greatly impact the lives of others for His honor and glory. This mus be your daily mind-set!

If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, come to Him NOW, before it is too late!

“Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.

- Vance Havner

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”

2 Timothy 3:12

If you are a professing Christian and you are comfortable living the way the ungodly live and don’t face any opposition because of your claim to be a child of God, you better check the reality of your profession. The genuine child of God cannot be comfortable living like the unsaved because they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). Also, they will experience rejection and persecution because of their identification with the Lord Jesus (John 15:20). They will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16).

Hebrews 10:25

Yes, the church is not a place for born-again believers to be a museum and show off. We are nothing but sinners saved by grace in need of continual help and encouragement to become more like the Lord Jesus. We need to exhort one another with the Word of God in all areas of our lives so that we will be healthy believers, bring praise and glory to our Lord and Savior. This is not an option but an instruction from our Lord and He will hold us responsible regarding our ministry to each other. Every born-again believer is important!

11/12/21

God loves a thankful Christian! Job thanked God when He took all away: "The Lord has taken away — blessed be the name of the Lord!" Job 1:21. Many will thank God when He gives; Job thanks Him when He takes away, because he knew that God would work good out of it.

-- Thomas Watson (1620-1686)

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28

Are you a born-again believer who glibby quotes this verse or do you really believe it? You better believe it or you are attacking the character of your Lord and Savior!

We do not understand all the ways our Lord and Savior works and we are not required to understand. We know that He is PERFECT, ALL-WISE, ALL-KNOWING and incapable of making any mistakes. So the only thing required of us is to trust His LOVING heart; He has a PERFECT plan and we need to trust Him with our whole being (Proverbs 3:5-6).

A Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps.

Saint Augustine

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”

John 3:30

Every born-again believer should be growing daily more and more in the likeness of Jesus Christ. They should be thinking more and more the thoughts of Him; they should be loving the lost and fellow believers the way He does, making a tremendous impact on lives. They should be His zealous ambassadors, sharing His message of salvation with the lost and strengthening fellow believers in the truth of His Word.

They should be daily be looking for people whom they can help so that the reality of Christ will be seen through them.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” - Joshua 1:8

If your spiritual digestive system is not working well, you will be a miserable believer, missing out on the Lord’s richest blessings and the super-abundant life He wants you to experience in Him (John 10:10b), will not be seeking to reach lost souls for Christ nor seek to help fellow believers to grow up In Him! Joshua obeyed and had a great relationship with his Lord. Mediate on the Word of God and have a great relationship as well!

Whether the Lord has blessed with little or much, if we surrender it all to Him, the Giver, and sow it bountifully according to our ability, He will use it beyond our comprehension for the salvation of lost souls, the discipleship of fellow believers, as well as causing us to reap bountifully.

11/7/21

The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God; we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.

-- Richard Sibbes (1577–1635)

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:31

The purpose of every born-again believer should to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in all areas of their life, giving Him the preeminence in everything they do. He deserves our complete exaltation of Him because of His character, His love for us, the fact that He has saved us from all our sins, given us the gift of eternal life, and the privilege and honor of being His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). How can we think of doing less?

Is He your closest friend? Are you daily developing an intimate relationship with Him?

KEEPING BLAMELESS

11/6/21

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

- 1 Thessalonians 5:23

It is vitally important that every born-again believer lives a blameless life. I did not say sinless. We still have our old sinful nature but when we do sin in word or deed, we need to take care of it immediately with our Lord (1 John 1:9) so that our fellowship with Him is not broken and we can enjoy the intimacy of His presence and His power to live a victoriously in every area of our lives to the praise of His glory.

If we fail to do so, we will lose our testimony with with unsaved people that we must reach with the gospel and will not be able to help fellow believers to grow in their relationship with the Lord.

So daily, walk close to the Lord, totally surrendered to His Lordship and the control of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) so that you will be kept blameless unto the Lord Jesus comes!

“Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.”. – Jim Elliot.

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

Colossians 3:23

Every born-again believer should “should live to the hilt,” enthusiastically, giving the Lord 100% of their time, energy, and passionate love after all He has done for them!

The enemies of our Lord will “live to the hilt” regarding their objectives; how much more we ought to do so to glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in all areas of our lives. We must live this way if we are going to be effective in bringing lost people to Christ and help fellow believers to grow more amd more into His likeness.

Our righteousness is in Him, and our hope depends, not upon the exercise of grace in us, but upon the fullness of grace and love in Him, and upon His obedience unto death.

- John Newton

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” - Romans 10:4

“For he (God the Father) hath made him (God the Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” - 2 Corinthians 5:21

Every born-again believer has no righteousness of their own (Romans 3:10) but , upon repentance of their sin and receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, have been made righteous in Him. Their sins have been forgiven and removed as far as the east is from the west, and His righteousness has been imputed to their account. Now, as they live yielded to His Lordship each day, His righteousness is manifested in all areas of their lives.

Have you been righteous in Christ? If not, come to Him NOW!

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

John 14:27

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

Is Jesus Christ, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), your Lord and Savior? If not, come to Him NOW!

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

GOD’S PROMISES!

11/27/21

"Let God’s promises shine on your problems.”

Corrie ten Boom

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”

For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20, KJV & Amplifed

We face many problems in our journey to our heavenly home but the promises of our Lord regarding every one of them produces great joy, comfort and encouragement! I am so glad the Lord Jesus loves me and will fulfill ALL His promises to me!

Are you one of His and able to claim and experience His promises? If not , come to Him NOW!

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

BE THANKFUL!

11/25/21

“Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do – it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin.” – Jerry Bridges

““Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Chronicles 16:34

Every day should be THANKSGIVING DAY for the born-again believer! We sinf “Count Your Blessings” but it is impossible to do so because they are innumerable! We should thank the Lord every day for…..

-forgiveness of our sins and the gift of eternal life

-answered prayers

-the privilege of serving Him

-supplying all our needs

-for a home in Heaven with Him forever

-for an empty grave, etc.

If He did not rise from the dead, we have nothing to be thankful for because an eternity in Hell would be our destination.

If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, come to Him NOW!
