Lets talk today

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17:11(KJV)

Have you ever tried to imagine the world witbout a Bible? Surely it would be like a garden without flowers, a world without hope. There would be no message of salvation, no light beyond the grave. If we had no Bible, we could  know nothing about Christ and, therefore, very little about God. No wonder, then, that the great preacher and scholar said, "Get me that Book. I must have that Book. Cast every light of scholarship and Devotion upon it page. Let me learn its highways and its byways Let me store my memory with its counsel and its promises. In joy, in grief, in pain, in peace, in prosperity.
There is great profit in Bible study. It is gold mine so get the gold out of the mine regularity in eating is a of the greatest importance for our physical health. It is greater importance for our spiritual health. There is so much noise all around; traffic, television, loud music  in passing cars. I want you to get a word in edgewise. Before they call i will answer; while they are still speaking i will hear
Let talk today! "it isn't necessary that we stay in church in order to remain in God's presence. We can make our hearts personal chapels where we can enter anytime to talk to our God privately. These conversations can be so loving and gentle, and anyone can have them.

Living righteously

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10 (KJV)

God has His people everywhere. Where you are is no accident you strategically placed. His purpose is for you to rule in life right where you are, to tangibly manifest the qualities of His kingdom and bring Him glory. When God places people in your life who are in need, He is aware of what they lack, and He knows He has given you the resources to meet those needs. He blesses you in the midst of the storm. He is developing a "supply depot" in your life through which He can provide for others. He has releases you from sinful habits? It may surprise you to know what others consider to be your treasure. Don't miss God's activity because you're reluctant to carry the load of others. We must allow the Holy Spirit to produce in us holy, sanctified life.

When Exercising Your gift

Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things
1 Timothy 4:16a

Once upon a time, the animal decide they should do something meaningful to meet the problem of the new world. So they organized a school.
They adopted an activity curriculum of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects
The duck was excellent in swimming; in fact, better than his instructor. But he made only passing grade in flying, and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he had to drop swimming and stay after school to practice running. This caused his web feet to be  badly worn, so that he was only average in swimming. But average was quite acceptable, no nobody worried about that except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of his class in running but developed a nervous twitch in his leg muscle because of so much make-up work in swimming. The squirrel was excellent in climbing, but he encountered constant frustration in flying class because his teacher made him start from ground up instead of from the treetop down. He developed "Charlie horses" from over exertion, and so only got a C in climbing and D in running.
The eagle was a problem child and was severely disciplined for being a non-conformist. In climbing classes he beat all the other to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there.
The moral of the story? Each of us has God - given abilities in which we excel, and we shouldn't try filling a mold that doesn't fit. A duck can't run like a rabbit, but neither can rabbit swim like a duck. So should the duck envy rabbit or feel guilty because it waddles during  running class?
Yet how often do we envy other's gift or feel ashamed because we can't witness as effectively as an evangelist or minister as tenderly as a mercy-giver? God has not made us all the same but has designed us with different interests and skills. Why? Because He loves variety and the body needs it see 1Cor.12:4-6,27).
So if you're a duck, don't neglect your strengths concentrate on swimming. Essentially, this is Paul is saying to his young pastor friend Timothy. Be faithful be Diligent! Now that you're on the path to discovering and using your gift take note of a couple of pitfall along the way that could trip you up and hinder your ministry. First: Guard against the "I am indispensable" attitude. As valuable as we are to the body of Christ's, as significant as our gift is in God's plan for His church, we are never indispensable. Christ's work doesn't rise and fall with our presence and our gifts. On the contrary, He can accomplish His will through someone else as well as through us. So express your gift with humble heart, understanding its limitation in addition to its values.

Cistern and Spring

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV)

Jesus said that rivers of living water would flow out of the lives of those who believe in Him. His living water would brim over from the well-spring of the spirit within us, quenching our thirst and touching the parched lives of those around us. The life of the Lord Jesus is a constantly flowing stream, a river even, keeping us flesh, filled, and satisfied.
We stop the flow, however, when we try to reservoir God's sring of living water in our lives. We become cistern holding tank for past victories or other people idea. At that point, we have forsaken the spri g of living water. We have tried to store that which cannot be saved, we tried to keep flowing. The result? Our lives lack freshness and freedom, and we become stagnant pool reflecting old experiences and tired testimonies.
God says that these cistern of our own making will break. What we try to save, we will lose. The warming is clear: Throw out the broken cisterns and get in the flow of God's spring of living water.

Effective righteous man

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16 (KJV)

Various cultures throughout the world either pray for, or to, the dead. I think I know why. It's because we aren't afraid to say what comes to our mind when we pray to the dead. Their ears are closed. They can't raise their eyebrows. They can't judge. Dead souls tell no tales.
But if we heed God's Word, our attention is to be paid to the live souls in our midst. And that's where we falter. But consider these words from James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sin to each other."
Aagh! What a terrible thought," we respond. Telling another Christian that we've lied or listed seems out of the question. "Why would we do that? Because other Christians are to pray for each other."
We confess our sins so that our brother can pray for us. Such prayer will assume complete trust, compassion, and acceptance. No judgement of any kind is mentioned by James. In fact, just the opposite. We are to pray for one another so that [we] may be healed. "
You see, when we sin our soul become sick. Just like when you come down with a cold, you aren't at full capacity. Prolonged unconfessed sin will eventually gnaw like a cancer and leave us virtually dead, spiritually. And when you feel that you at the point of no return, look at what James say next: "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
Just think: if we turn our attention  to all the souls in need of confession, prayer, and healing, it would revitalize our churches and draw great number into the kingdom.
