LEADING DEAF PATHS

 
PERSECUTION .

Romans 8:36.

As it is written:

“ For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
--------------------------------------------
 Daily , Jesus carried a cross. He was looked for by the evil gangs. Yet he watched daily.
Being Christlike , doesn't just mean doing the good that Christ did and thereby have luxuries daily.

Being Christlike means wearing the type of shoes that Christ used to wear. The shoes of persecution.
Many Christians think that when we confess Christ as our Lord and savior, that is ends of trouble. Trouble in itself is not an end. Trials and persecution are a means to an end.

We don't suffer in this world and that that is our destiny. We suffer in this world to achieve the glories to come. 
It is therefore a Christian rule that there should be persecution every day. And such persecution is for the sake of Christ. When the above verse says that it is for the sake of Christ, it means that just because we have Him, we have to face death all day long. 

Now, there should be suffering that is differentiated between believers and non believers. The non believers face the suffering that is to the worldly glories...and that is the end. However, the believers' suffering is for the glories that are everlasting...yet also to have prosperity as God blesses them on earth.
One thing I have realized is that we cannot become the best version of our selves if we are not made to face death all day long.

Just imagine you were stopped by traffic officer, and all the officer does is abuse you just because you don't have a clearance of taxes. It's there that some realise that they are good war mongers by abusing the officer in turn. But also to some, they will realize they can handle bad people when they simply keep calm and request for a pardon.

It is such death all day long that unleashes what exactly lies deep within you.
However much we are like sheep, however much we are pressed; there is a better person within us that is being leashed.

                   GOD BLESS YOU

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
