Called Unto Blessing

Without the legal system, it would be difficult to control the conducts of people within any particular system. Generally, people will hide under the interpretation of the law in order to predict every cause and effect of their actions in relationship with others. But in God's economy, all actions of man brings blessing, at the end, to all His children. Although in human consideration, revenge of ill-conceived actions may seem appropriate; it is a reflection of believer's misunderstanding of their calling. Being called unto blessing suggest that no action of man can ever lead to curse or evil. All things work together to perfect the good plan of God for His children. God's children are good and peaceful work of His amazing grace; so their works can never bring evil to fellow believers. The right perspective of God's call unto blessing will only lead every child of God to bless others; and be sincerely grateful to others for every cause and effect of their actions. The d...

Inward Adornment

The cost of makeups and breakup are not extravagant to celebrity couples who have profited so much from outward adornment. Designers make almost everything they wear, drive, live and fly in. But these ornaments and decorations are not produced without huge investment of highly skilled labour and exotic materials. Inward adornment also has huge cost implications, but most times, unappreciated by all who must be beautified. This is the sharpening of a winsome character; and, anyway, character shines out of the deepest of darkness. People, and not properties, as priceless tools in the hands of the Maker, makes people. Otherwise, people are marred and made irrelevant. Submission to the decoration of hidden ornament produces incorruptible beauty; the desired return of heavenly investment. When words appear to fail in bringing the desired change in people, the winsome beauty of hidden ornament cannot fail. Therefore, making efforts to reinvest in inward self-adornment is more profitable than...

Civic Submission

Orderliness on earth is the reflection of the heavenly host in submission to the One who sits on the throne. However, the master of disorderliness, the Devil, knows how to defy authorities; and also teach all his subjects the same. Disorderliness is the description of a state where the will of God is defied. Every man that is dragged into this environment is made to operate in disobedience. No matter the setting (home, church, workplace, society, government, etc.), God expects all His children to submit to the constituted authorities. Disorderliness is highly contagious; it spreads through systems without notice. Expression of love with careful isolation from disorderliness can provide practical treatment to those under the infection. " Honour all people, but trust not their institutions ", " Love the brotherhood, but treat their infections ", and " Fear God, and trust His instructions " are the counsels of God for all His heralds. Segregated orderliness ...

Divine Approval

Especially for public servants, the skill of earning public approval is vital to acceptable performance. This skill is however difficult to manage for those who would not compromise their stand for righteousness. There are many acceptable standards for approval syndrome; and these standards would guarantee public commendation, if continuous access to the presence of God is not a priority. However, public approval is not consistent with time. The same party that issued an approval may turn around with disapproval without a justifiable cause. Divine approval takes time before recognition; but it endures with time. The only challenge in waiting for this kind of approval is the grace to be consistent. It is difficult to endure the disapproval of men, when holding on unto the leading of the Spirit in doing good works. However, if only the glory of God is a priority, public opinion will be consistently jettisoned. The comprehensive achievements in this outgoing year can only be measured on t...

Heavenly Citizenship

Without a clearly defined and consistent concept underlining residency, there may be a vague benefit to the status of a citizen, when compared with those who do not have citizenship status. Apart from status change, citizenship changes the level of access to wealth, information, and protection. However, there are numerous customized rights and privileges, depending on citizen's pursuit in life. Likewise as heavenly citizens (those who have been redeemed from darkness into the kingdom of God), the essence of praises are not always evident from prevailing circumstances. Privileged access to the throne of God classifies all heavenly citizenship as potential decision makers. Ruling of nations and kingdoms is one of the rights of those who are qualified to lift up holy hands. Unfortunately, most rulers worry about problems when they are expected to provide solution, by using the power vested upon them. Heavenly citizens are not expected to be victims of circumstances; they are made to b...

Divine Concept

One of the most important public documents awaiting the accent of lawmakers is the health care bill of the United State of America. Despite its current level of advancement within the conference of the House of Representatives and the Senate, there are cogent disagreements even among supporters of the public option over the insurance monopoly. While the treatment of this public document reveal the beauty of a democratic system, when fairly practiced outside the sphere of religious dichotomy, Divine Concept needs no human accent for implementation. All that God require from man, after the revelation of His counsel, is obedience. Man would be wise to understand the most importance pursuit in life - knowing God's counsel in all of his callings. There would be less agitation in life, if all can seek to follow the counsel of God. Even in the absence of this type of social system, Divine Concept still holds. Therefore, rather than following public opinions, God's heralds should be gl...

Service Centre

Especially to road travelers, Service Centres are essential refreshment locations for both men and vehicles on voyage. If there are no problems in the relationship of these Centres with suppliers, travelers may never suffer lack of food and fuel. Like Service Centres, God's heralds are temples for sacrifices both to man and God. While familiarity may bring contempt in relationship with man, intimacy with God strengthens the relationship. Without consistent access to the undiluted word of God, it would be difficult to avoid malice, envy, hypocrisy and evil speaking with man. Service Centres offer continuous services without the need to establish extra-service relationship with travelers; but their relationship with suppliers is treated with greatest priority. Likewise, and in order to guarantee acceptable sacrifices, believers need a continuous relationship with God through His word. This is the only basis of spiritual growth. He who must minister only God`s mercy and grace to men m...
