Choosing the Ways of God

Matthew 11

Inspired thots

It is interesting to note that God's ways are so different from the world's. There is PEACE in God's words and ways although it is sometimes difficult to tear oneself away from the deception of the world; the false promises tend to hold us back from walking forward towards God.

How important to choose God's ways over the world's or self although the ways of God seem vague and far. But FAITH must arise to overcome the world by accepting the Word of God as TRUE to be blessed.

Enduring Till the End

Matthew 10

Inspired thots

It won't be easy to stay RIGHT with the Lord especially in the last days. However, the bible is clear that those who endures to the end would enjoy eternal life and rich blessings from the Lord.

We must continue to walk right before the Lord, heeding His call although the reception may be hostile. Alertness to each different situation is required to stay in step with the Spirit as loved ones will rise against each other in the last days. How sad! Let us motivate the whole family to stay close to the Lord until the very end.

Arise in Faith and Ministry

Matthew 9

Inspired thots

Jesus continued His ministry of healing with a call to RISE UP to those He met. Those who receive healing AROSE from their infirmities. At the end of the chapter, a CALL to RAISE up more workers into the harvest field is made.

Rise up to serve after one rises up from infirmities.

Miracles and Power with Jesus

Matthew 8

Inspired thots

Once Jesus started His ministry, His power is revealed through miracles. There will always be two reactions; acceptance and rejection. Some would be so awed by the extraordinary power of Jesus that they would draw close to Him while others would shy away for fear of personal weakness exposure or a drastic change in lifestyle. It is the same even today.

How do we understand Jesus personally to impact our choice of living? Even demons recognize Him from afar. What is our heart's content with Jesus?

Godly Life BLUEPRINT

Matthew 7

Inspired thots

Getting on the RIGHT Path of a Godly Life is stated clearly in this chapter. So much treasures; so overwhelming.
The first is NOT to judge others so that I will not be judged by God. (v1) I am no better than another next to me. Treasure what I have as treasures (v6) instead of insisting upon others who do not appreciate the same. God will provide and bless with the best. Do to others what you want others to do to you (v12) for harmony and goodwill.

Recognize and choose the narrow way of life however difficult it may seem (v13) Bear GOOD Fruits (v18) with the Words of God and stand firm in faith in God alone. (v24)

Total Life Principles 2 ~ Godly Treasures

Matthew 6

Inspired thots

Prayer is a very important component of a godly life. Praying in secret pleases the Heavenly Father as it indicates a special bonding of the relationship instead of praying in public to display piety.

Worldly attractions will rot and be stolen while heavenly possessions last forever. Trust God to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19) for He knows all things. Bottom line: v33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Total Life Principles ~ Godly Principles

Matthew 5

Inspired thots

SUCH a rich chapter! So many treasures fit for life; many of which might take a lifetime to accomplish.

Beginning with the Beattitudes, there is more digging into the inner self for cleansing and molding. Ends so beautifully with "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." The highest order; the final presentation before God from lowly to high estate.
