1 Corinthians 4
Inspired thots
v2 IT IS REQUIRED that those who have been a given trust must prove Faithful.
~ when God gives me something, I must prove my faithfulness over it.
1) Salvation
2) Ministry
3) Prayer Intercession
4) Talents
v3 I CARE VERY LITTLE if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.
~ Do not be bothered about how people view me;
~ Do not be bothered to judge myself
~ Let God be the judge!
v4 My conscience is clear but that DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. It is the Lord who judges me.
~ I may try my best but only God knows if I pass His test.
v5 JUDGE NOTHING before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes.
~ Very good advice to stay clear from all kinds of politics
~ Very good foolproof lifestyle in today's world, understanding the will of God
v8 ALREADY you have all you want! Already you have become rich!
~ My relationship and status with Christ have made all things possible. I must remember I have all things and am not in want. I must not look at myself as if in dire needs.
v10-13 In Christ, I am wise, strong, honoured because of salvation and faith.
Yet, His servants will be regarded as 'fools', 'weak', 'dishonored', 'scum of the earth', 'refuse of the world'
v18 Arrogance has no place in God's kingdom. Only the POWER of God which shall be shown.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

Matthew 7:1-6
Inspired thots:
1) Judgment is a SURETY in a Christian’s life. Just as sure as the hope I have in Christ, judgment looms as big.
2) I am still working on my own attitude, not to judge and not to be condescending. I know what I need to do and yet, I do not do it at times; exactly how Paul lamented in Romans 7:14-20. I am still struggling within to be what “God wants me to be and do”. Thank God for starting His redemptive work in me.
3) Now, I strive to be “quick to listen and slow to anger” to help myself not be judgmental. I need to stay alert to my feelings so that I do not allow ‘anger, frustration and dissatisfaction’ to arise within. I need to check my feelings before the Lord to keep them in proper perspective and compartment, so that I do not fall prey to being judgmental, for I am NOT better than any other. I know that it true. I am just a sinner forgiven by God, who has lots to be transformed. And God is not finished with me yet.
4) One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Isa 55:8,9…let God deal with the actual situation or person instead of me. Not to my benefit to be riled up by anything or anyone!
