MY FRIENDS, WE HAVE GOT A LOT TO SAY ABOUT NOTHING!!!

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,” 1 Peter 1:13-18 (NIV)

I have come to the conclusion that many of God’s children are falling by the wayside on this Journey Christ has placed each of us on simply because of what we are allowing to come out of our mouth from week to week among our congregation of faith base believers.

In addition, the god of this world has totally blinded us from the potential danger and where our action is leading and who it is Hurting. Our mouth is one of those “Socially Acceptable Sins” we in the body of  believers totally ignore the consequences, but my friends in all we do we must place our example Christ at the forefront and ask, would He allow what comes out of our mouth, to come out of His?

But just like his many blessings for His Children that is stated in His word, He also gives some stern warnings, in Matt. 13:28-30 (KJV) when He speaks of the wheat and tares His servants recognizes that the tares are growing among the wheat as they mention it to the Master, He tells them ”An enemy has done this [meaning Satan has come and planted those who have not given their all to Christ among His body of believers.]

The servants say to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But [Christ] said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”[Which is His pure and holy Kingdom.]

My friends “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) With “Foolish Talk few realize that they drive away the Spirit of God with their selfish thoughts and feelings, their foolish, trifling talk.

. . . If the grace of Christ were planted in their hearts, and striking its roots down deep into good soil, they would bear fruit of an altogether different character. . . . The converting power of God is alone sufficient to establish pure principles in the heart, so that the wicked one may find nothing to assail. . . . Purity in speech, and true Christian courtesy should be constantly practiced. (E.G. White)

“When Queen Victoria was a child, she didn’t know she was in line for the throne of England. Her instructors, trying to prepare her for the future, were frustrated because they couldn’t motivate her. She just didn’t take her studies seriously. Finally, her teachers decided to tell her that one day she would become the queen of England.

Upon hearing this, Victoria quietly said, then I will be good and do whatever it takes to finish the course that is set before me. The realization that she had inherited this high calling gave her a sense of responsibility that profoundly affected her conduct from then on.”

My friends we also have a High calling from our Savior so we must finish the course set before us by Christ. In addition He has placed an awesome responsibility upon us, to make sure not just those on the outside of the body of believers but also each member within our congregation stays focused on His soon coming. It is no longer about us, self must be crucified as we continue our Journey to the promise land.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
