What does your fruit say about you ?

What does your fruit say about you ? Mathew 12:33-34



Hey guys, it's been a really long time, but i thank God i am back to share more of the Good News with you all... Today's topic is ------> WHAT DOES YOUR FRUIT SAY ABOUT YOU?<--------------









We all know when a seed is planted, the farmer waters it in order for it to grow GOOD FRUITS!! See that? The farmers intention is to ensure what he is about sow, comes out with good fruits. In his mind he knows how he wants his seed to come out, which is good of-course because he wants to gain from all his hard work, this is the same with us followers of Christ or people in general. "A tree is identified by it's fruit", so in this case, whatever we sow in our hearts will determine what kind of fruit we'll produce. In today's society we tend to look at people's gifts instead of their fruits, fruits meaning their characters and qualities. Their fruits will tell you more than their gifts will. It does not matter if they are a prophet of God, a pastor, if their fruits is not complimenting or buttressing their gifts then they/ you need to CHECK YOURSELF. 



Too often people decide in their heart that they'll for instance: stop gossiping about others and speak better of them. And they do try but because they try to change their words without changing their thoughts nothing changes.
"For out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks - via Jesus. 
Everything begins with our thoughts or a thought so if we allow negative thoughts to dwell in our minds, this will produce bad fruits. Hence the reason why we have to guide our heart at all cost. Galatians 5: 22-23 tells us all about the good fruits, we all need these fruits in order to really be in Christ, there's no point deceiving ourselves, God loves me, so much he'll keep forgiving me. LISTEN! God cannot be mocked and he is the God of principle.




 God shows anger towards the people that no better and do not do it simply because they know we all the grace of God in our lives. we are recognised by our fruits, if you gossip a lot about other people for whatever invalid reason you may have, people will see you as a bitter person and they may also want to distance themselves from you. PRODUCE good fruits, but training your mind and spirit, continue to work with God. we all fall short but that is no excuse for us to keep going around in circles,don't change your fruits because your friends gets away with all her bad fruits, we are all different. 






It is vital to sow the right seed in order for us to make the right decisions especially in the middle of our tribulations and confusions. As humans when things are stressful we naturally like to take the path of least resistance, but those are the very moments we need to make tougher decisions because to REAP the right fruits in life? We have to SOW the right seeds even when we don't feel like it.

it's our responsibility, not to allow people to speak into our lives because they did not pay the price. Jesus did. Plant good seed in your heart by remembering that God is in love with us and his forever faithful. The more good seed we plant, the more good fruit we produce. 







Sow a Good Fruit, Nurture it and Reap  a  Good Fruit - GOA




Shalom!!!

There is no shame In being a Christian 1 peter: 4

There is no shame In being a Christian 1 peter: 4

As Christians we all know that many are called but few are chosen, let's praise and thank God for the privilege of being called by his name. God the father knew you and chose you a very long time ago (Jeremiah 1:5). His spirit is what makes us holy. It's through his grace and mercy that we are born again. We now have great expectation and we have a priceless inheritance that is kept for us in heaven (1peter 1:4).

When we suffer as Christians because of what the lord has called us to do, let's rejoice in Christ because it shows that the persecution is a mark of God's approval of our work.. take John and peter for example, they were persecuted but they never stopped doing lord's work because they knew that their reward was in heaven and not on earth. Sometimes we hold unto the worldly things too much and we do not see ourselves the way God sees us. Christ himself was rejected by his own people while he was on earth but because he knew he was chosen by God for great honour, he carried on the good work and also because he loved us.

People see working for Christ as a job that will bring them much persecution yes this might be the case but also God blesses our handworks, he gives us joy. I don't know about you but I’m loving the persecution and the joy. Let's be glad because Christ chose us, he pointed and looked at you said “I WANT HER, HIM, THEM”. It's a blessing and a great joy to be picked out from so many people by God. It's like taking a ride with Christ, to know what his all about and to be what his all about. Talk about unlimited blessings..

When the world tries to bring you down, remember this, once you had no identity but now your in Christ, you are a royal priesthood, an heir to the throne, God's very own possession. You are made of light once you know this and believe this, there's nothing in this world that can make you fall, in-fact God will not allow it because he is our ROCK and fortress. As you are working for Christ he will bless you down to your roots, your family.

1 peter 2:21 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. As followers of Christ we should not seek out suffering or even try to avoid it, instead allow the spirit of God to continue to direct you to keep doing what God has called you to do, regardless of the suffering it might bring.

Graduate as a Christian, Every time you stand up be a threat to the devil.

God bless you all

PRIDE

What is PRIDE?

A feeling derived from one's own achievement

Pride's Proverb

Pride goes or comes before a fall.... Proverbs 11:2 

what causes pride?

When God starts using you to save others, by showing you supernatural things and once they happen you begin to say things like “see I told you this would happen” NO hunny... God told YOU this would happen and you told the right person. We have to know the difference between humility and pride.

if you are too conceited or self-important, something will happen along the way that will make you look foolish. Pride is a SIN... it does not align with what God is about however being proud of another Christian's walk is in alignment with God's word.

As followers of Christ, this trait is not part of what God wants us to include in our personality as it will only lead to destruction. There's being proud of your achievement and then there's been conceited about it. You've got to know which is which.!

Pride can go a long way for instance: not talking to your spouse or friend because they upset you, and you refuse to be the first person to approach them or the situation. To move pride away from your heart there has to be compromise because without this we cannot all live in love (Ephesians 5:2).

Pride can and will bring you low if we think we can do everything by ourselves and along the way we could lose a lot of people that are dear to us. I use to get mad at God when he didn't do what I wanted and I’d ignore his callings, refuse to pray. THIS IS ALL PRIDE... but once I learnt about how pride can destroy me, I learnt to compromise and I asked God to forgive me and remove pride from my heart as this is not a Godly character.

Pride is the main killer of all humans mind, once you allow pride in, it'll be hard to hear God's voice, pride usually relies upon competition, and that it cannot exist without competition. It's always about you or me against another.

If we are not careful pride will prevent us from receiving from God, he sees our heart and if we begin to have faith in ourselves too much while God does something for us, this might prevent us from receiving from God. Now don't get me wrong, I’m not saying God will not bless you, he surely will but God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Remember God uses US and ANYONE for his glory NOT ours... His Glory shines through us... The book of Hebrew 3:19 “when I am full of myself I am empty of God” <<<<------- That's HOW much of a sin pride is. We need to learn how to acknowledge God's work in our lives rather than how we get things done because we actually cannot do anything without God's grace

Walk in his Grace.. and Ye shall be lifted Up Through his strength NOT Yours- GOA™

God bless you all... 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year to my Brothers and Sisters...... 
Congratulations, This is YOUR year...OUR year... God will do something new in your life....
walk away form the heartaches, forget the familiar sicknesses and rise up on newness... Let God be your Guide and your light... 

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising." Isa.60: 1-3.

This is YOUR year... God will show many why your his, and why they should keep their hands and mouth of YOU... The Blood of Jesus speaks better things than that of Abel

God bless you all 
GOA 

The Conquering Lion & The Precious Lamb of God

The Conquering Lion breaks every chain the devil may have tied to you and you destiny while the Lamb is Holy.... the precious lamb of God, Born into sin that we may live again the precious lamb of God

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN ADVANCE

Love Grace 

Having Patience during Your Trial (Waiting)

Hi Guys… it’s been a while but I’m so glad to be back on here, the topic of today is PATIENCE and I decided to write about this because I've also been struggling with this for the last couple of months. Oh how I LOVE patience... No not really, I have like 50% of patience which is not really good but I thank God almighty that I was able to experience the importance of patience as a Christian.
Sometimes as Christians we fall under this mentality of thinking, when we ask for something, we expect to see the sign the next day, I’m guilty of this and then when I don’t see it I begin to panic and throw all sorts of tantrum. Isaiah 40:31 says:
“But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Waiting on God involves having patience and trust that he knows what his doing. Let’s be REAL right now, take a minute to think about this “Has God honestly Ever EVER let you down before???” when you think about it, from the moment you started praying for things has he ever let you down? I honestly cannot think of anyone who’s been sad for the whole year, but if there are I pray Lord of Host will heal their heart.
I knew without patience my mind would not be at rest, as this would lead to more frustration and probably say or do something I’d later on suffer for. God is not a wicked, he made us (This statement relaxes me so much) like proper relaxes me. When I’m frustrated I actually run to my bible or listen to uplifting song because if you don’t, the devil will see you’re slowly moving towards the direction he wants you.

Patience will actually get you everything I’m telling you now, I always try and put myself in others positions for example: Sarah in Genesis. (Genesis Chapters 15, 17, 18, 21). She did not trust God to give her a child so she went out of her way and made it happen. we should never try and do anything on our own. When we try and do things on our own we get ourselves into trouble. Instead we should depend on God for everything.
During our trials we need to believe that God trusts us with more struggles because he will later on bless us with more than we can handle… God is slow to anger, so our little tantrums that we like to throw when we don’t get the things we want will not get us anywhere. The lord is not a magician but a miracle worker. His ways are mysterious and definitely not our way. However God might give us something we want at times just to show us we do not NEED it.
Patience will teach you the type of Christian you are, it will also make you stronger. I have learnt this during my trial. Once I knew God was in control I was at peace with myself, I kept on going to God. One thing we need to know as Christians is that the devil does not take it easy when it comes to his lame attacks, so when we go to God, our prayers must be AGGRESSIVE. Don’t be SLUGGISH!!!(Galatians 6:9 - Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. )

when you feel like giving up; always remember how God has been patience with us, we leave whenever we feel like and also come back whenever we feel like whereas His never left, he was always there... I have faith in God through my patience. Everything works out for this Good and Glory.

PRAYER
God I know I cannot do anything without you, please grant me patience to know that you are always in control and help me to understand that without you I am nothing. Amen
Patience with God = FAITH
Shalom!!!

Fear Vs Faith

Hey guys.... i know it's been a while but PRAISE God with me because i've been down the pit but through his grace i was able to bounce back up..Moving on....swiftly...slowly... OK!!!


Having faith is optional and also ones personal choice. I'm saying this because i've been there, had i not been? i wouldn't have this testimony to share. you see God really doesnt put us through things we cannot handle. if we just ask, he can give us the strength to handle any situation.
Until i got myself together and trust me, it does take alot of time. we must have faith because God needs us to have faith.. My God!!! imagine that??? Dont you feel good? we always need something from God but this time, he needs and wants something in return from us. Thats a really great feeling.
My faith has brought me into pleasing my heavingly father in heaven, i bet you didnt know that not having faith in God was hurting him and also breaking his heart. Did you know that worrying is the lack of trsut in the CREATOR of the universe???

Sometimes we allow the enemy to convince us that our temporary condition are reflections of our eternal position in God but this is a LIE. jesus warned us in the book of John chapter 10 verse 10 about the thief that cometh to steal and take joy... Do not be a victim. instead be a Victor. like Job did, lets Decree a thing or two and it will be established for us (Job 22:28).

I know you might not want to hear this, and expect me to have some sort of secret to overcome your fear or to make it disappear but, as long as we keep growing in christ? fear never completely disappear. Anytime we grow, stretch and take the risk in fulfilling our God's Given potential, you and i are abound to run into fear BUT remmeber that the word of God in the book of (proverbs 28:1) and (Psalms 27:14).

Do not allow yourself to be trapped in your own words (proverbs 6:2) some words are librating and destructive. instead have words and sentences like "in God's strength i can amke it rather than 'what'll i do, my life is over'. Let the enemy know that your FAITH is much more bigger than your fear.

So now that we know all this... YOU!!! tell that small voice in your head right now "JESUS won!" so I win too because you are made in his image, he hasnt forgotten about you. He just wants you to know that wherever you want to go? He will go before you but the journey will be long, wobbly, stretchy.. you name it but the point is through his faith in his heavenly father in heaven he defeated the world so YOU! can too. (Hebrew 11)

Thank God for what you are going through right now because God is using you, his using your experience to mould you into the strong warrior that you are becoming in christ through your faith!! My God... give yourself a tap on the back.

The more we focus on our fears?, the more fear we experience. instead lets focus on God( Philippians 4:13). He can empower us to handle anuything we'll ever face.

Remember God's love is eternal and endureth forever..
Be Blessed

Grace A
