Don't be weary, keep doing good

"But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing." (2Thess.3.13) 

Doing good is good business. If we do good continuously, we will see the reward continuously. Though we do not do good because of the reward. The reward is an added benefit. We do good because it is the right thing to do. Therefore do not get tired of doing good, keep doing good. 

The good we do while we are here on earth is what people remember us for. When a person dies, a few people will share a few tears and after that, it is over. But your good works continue to speak for you. 

The Bible tells the story of Dorcas who was always helping the widows, when she died they called for Apostle Peter and she was raised. That she was raised back up is not what is important to me, but the testimony the people had of her. 

"Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them." (Acts.9.39) 

Acts 10:38 tells us that Jesus went about doing good. Do not wait until you can help everyone. Help the few you can where you can as long as you can. The instruction is to not be weary, do not get tired. The tendency is to get tired after a while. But keep doing good. Do not be weary, keep doing good. Do it to everyone. Let it be your default setting. 

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matt.5.16) 

The way you shine your light is by doing good work. When your light shines, what people see are your good works. That's how we bring glory to God. Go out of your way today, to do good to as many people as you possibly can. And be not weary in well doing.

Good day, 
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
