WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

ORIENTATION OF THE GODLY   1 Peter 3:9  Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. -------------------------------------------- Living in life is swaying on a platform of good and bad. It is dwindling in the airs of darkness and light. It is seeing day and night at the same time. But how do we know that something is good? We know that something is good by knowing there is a bad replica. It is obvious that good and bad people present in life. There are people that will come and insult you. There are people that will come to be good but will present their ill intensions in the relationship. Of course when insulted, your mind desires a same measure of insult to be bounced back to the person as a way of quick compensation. But the scripture has lined up. What is godly should be presented as godly. You are to pay the insults with a blessing. We can only know that you are godly...

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

KNOWLEDGE   Hosea 4:6  my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children -------------------------------------------- One pastor said that whenever we asks God to help us through a circumstance, He either sends someone to help us through or give us knowledge to figure our way through. So that means that at one time He will give us a helper to take us through the circumstance. And at another time He will give us the rightful knowledge to get through the circumstance. Knowledge is power. You couldn't be where you are now if you know more than you know now. One great tool God has used to let some people spin around some points without getting further is the knowledge they can have access to. You know scientist have had alot of things they plan on accomplishing, but they have failed in alot of them. What they have succeeded...

ZERO TO HERO   Psalms 113:7-9  He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; 8 he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. 9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord. -------------------------------------------- In the citadel of Susa was a Jew who with others had been carried into exile by Nebuchadnezzar. Mordecai as the Jew, had adopted a seemingly desperate girl. A girl who after had lost everything including her mother and father had become increasingly desperate. He took her as her own daughter.  Them living under the confines of king Xerxes were subject to his decrees. The king decreed, ...he had lost his stuborn wife through Persian policies and now needed another wife. He passed a decree for nobles to find him a better wife.  And because Jews were part of the decree, some ladies including Esther were taken for scrutiny.  And if you remember the story, af...
