A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord.

The grandeur of the arch of heaven would be spoiled if the sky were supported by a single visible column, and your faith would lose its glory if it rested on anything discernible by the carnal eye.

Better be sneered at as a Puritan than be despised as a hypocrite.

PAUSE, PERUSE AND PERUSE AND

Nazarites had taken, among other vows, one which debarred them from the use of wine. In order that they might not violate the obligation, they were forbidden to drink the vinegar of wine or strong liquors, and to make the rule still more clear, they were not to touch the unfermented juice of grapes, nor even to eat the fruit either fresh or dried. In order, altogether, to secure the integrity of the vow, they were not even allowed anything that had to do with the vine; they were, in fact, to avoid the appearance of evil. Surely this is a lesson to the Lord’s separated ones, teaching them to come away from sin in every form, to avoid not merely its grosser shapes, but even its spirit and similitude. Strict walking is much despised in these days, but rest assured, dear reader, it is both the safest and the happiest. He who yields a point or two to the world is in fearful peril; he who eats the grapes of Sodom will soon drink the wine of Gomorrah.

PAUSE, PERUSE AND PONDER

Worldly conformity, in any degree, is a snare to the soul, and makes it more and more liable to presumptuous sins. Moreover, as the Nazarite who drank grape juice could not be quite sure whether it might not have endured a degree of fermentation, and consequently could not be clear in heart that his vow was intact, so the yielding, temporizing Christian cannot wear a conscience void of offence, but must feel that the inward monitor is in doubt of him. Things doubtful we need not doubt about; they are wrong to us. Things tempting we must not dally with, but flee from them with speed. Better be sneered at as a Puritan than be despised as a hypocrite. Careful walking may involve much self-denial, but it has pleasures of its own which are more than a sufficient recompense.

The best of men are conscious above all others that they are men at the best.

We have need that the Lord should have mercy upon our good works, our prayers, our preachings, our alms-givings, and our holiest things. The blood was not only sprinkled upon the doorposts of Israel’s dwelling houses, but upon the sanctuary, the mercy-seat, and the altar, because as sin intrudes into our holiest things, the blood of Jesus is needed to purify them from defilement. If mercy be needed to be exercised towards our duties, what shall be said of our sins? How sweet the remembrance that inexhaustible mercy is waiting to be gracious to us, to restore our backslidings, and make our broken bones rejoice!

LIFE ITSELF

LIFE ITSELF

Life itself is a Chronicle;
Each phase is like a cubicle.
Though it might look intangible;
Passing through it is inevitable.

To make impact is like a trouble
Humanly, all efforts will crumble
No matter how you try & hustle
Without God you will tumble

The promise of a man is like a bubble
Which when you take & try to grapple
Will dissolve like an the cry of a cuckoo
And dangerous like walking on broken bottle

Christ's grace makes one eligible;
To move through life needs indefatigable.
In storms and billows, immoveable
Because He is is always available.

Life is  not a joke nor a riddle
Because there many a tussle
That will want you to continually struggle
Only in Christ you're safe even in life's thistle

The call of the Omnipotent's grace is ample
Anyone who hears and can be humble
To come to Him even with his bungle
Will have all in life in a nuzzle

You will be decorated in a linen purple
With Christ you'll never fumble
Even when life come with it trouble
Surely you will have no reason to dazzle

WELCOME TO JULY

STILL IN 2018, CLIMB JOYOUSLY

It is part of the fruit of the spirit to be joyful. Don't allow the challenges of the first half of the year weigh you down. Don't allow the happenings around and the sorrow of the world to steal your joy away from you. The devil finds it difficult to tear the joyful apart but it's very easy to disassemble the troubled mind.
Of course there are troubles in the air and all around but the joy emanating from within should not be disrupted.
I pray that God will not allow that happening that will disconnect you from your source of joy in Jesus name.

JULY has Joy Unlimited is Loaded for You

The bitter herbs of Gethsemane have often taken away the bitters of your life; the scourge of Gabbatha has often scourged away your cares, and the groans of Calvary have put all other groans to flight. Thus Calvary yields us comfort rare and rich

--- C. H. SPURGEON

PAUSE, PERUSE AND PONDER

We never should have known Christ’s love in all its heights and depths if he had not died; nor could we guess the Father’s deep affection if he had not given his Son to die. The common mercies we enjoy all sing of love, just as the sea-shell, when we put it to our ears, whispers of the deep sea whence it came; but if we desire to hear the ocean itself, we must not look at every-day blessings, but at the transactions of the crucifixion. He who would know love, let him retire to Calvary and see the Man of sorrows die.

“Afflictions, though they seem severe,
In mercy oft are sent."

C. H. SPURGEON

We bless God, then, for our afflictions; we thank him for our changes; we extol his name for losses of property; for we feel that had he not chastened us thus, we might have become too secure. Continued worldly prosperity is a fiery trial.

WELCOME TO MARCH

CLIMB MILDLY though MARCHING

Purpose in your heart not to trample on others as you march through the year. Don't be that desperate to achieve your plans in that you have to hurt others unjustly to make progress. Such progress made as a result of unjustly pulling someone else down is not accredited by heaven. Be mild on people that you come in contact with but march aggressively on any hindrance(s) that may want to inhibit or stop your progress.

February might not have been fair enough but in March, you'll March triumphantly into greater heights

It is wise to seek wisdom. It is the greatest of all wisdom to seek more wisdom. Not the kind of wisdom that will decline you from the path pf righteousness anyway, but the one that will keep you in track with your maker.
Therefore, wisdom should supercede in all your pursuit

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

WELCOME TO FEBRUARY

CLIMB FERVENTLY not FRIVOLOUSLY

You should in the midst of of all these know that you have a target to meet, a purpose to be achieved and an aimed to be accomplished. This should not allow you give in to frivolities. Rather pursue your dreams with fervency until you achieve it.
Additionally, you must know that as a watchman allowing frivolities might cost you your convictions and godly stand.
