THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

-

*Isaiah:32.17* 
 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

--------------------------------------------
 There is peace and strength of character in Christ fraternity that does not exist in the fraternities of the other world.

But one key has been set forth as an assurance for the attainment of the ultimate peace, ultimate confidence.... - the attainment of righteousness.

Righteousness is carrying out actions in right measure and right procedures in holy ways.
Many times we are deprived of our peace because we have burning guilt in us. We are deprived of our confidence because of the strong degree of lawlessness that we feel in our hearts. We don't mean to be subject to laws that govern the body of christ. We want to be our own Master. We feel our own instincts are right.

There is no government that exists without laws. Laws are standards that tame actions. They are standards that measure righteousness. The government of christ wouldn't be called government if there were no laws to govern.
You may think that your very church has strict regulations and strict laws. But a church that is lenient with the laws of God is not after righteousness. You may not chase righteousness to its fullest, but straining to attain it through regulations gives God a picture of what kind of child you are. 

The bible says that God will write laws in our hearts in days to come. And He has. Whenever you try to reject the instinct of the spirit in your heart, His peace is driven from You. Chasing to do what is right before God will yield confidence and peace.

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
