Whatever God has for you is for you and no one else can take it from you unless you give it to them. All we have to do is trust God, believe and have faith. We are one family and all are needed to build the Kingdom of God. God has deposited in each of us gifts and skills to build his Kingdom, the prophet Jeremiah said God knew him when he was in his mother’s womb. We are all individuals with a common goal. All of our trials and tribulations mold us into the person God has called us to be. We must be about the business God. He created you for a purpose.
Perfecting Of The Saints
Perfecting Of The Saints
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
The Word of God comes to put our lives in order, it will teach us, lead us and guide us according to the will of God.
The laws of the road are in place for your safety and the safety of others we must follow the laws of the land if they do not violate the laws of God. We don’t obey the signs along the road, we make illegal u turns, turn right on right even if the sign is posted and says no right turn on red, we speed, we park in illegal spots.
We must give the truth to the people at all times even if they don’t want to hear it. We must lift those up that are doing the work of God, with all of our support. We must be willing to suffer and go through things for others. Our gifts are to be used to help others see Christ, if we don’t use them or we hide them we will be held accountable for the souls that are lost. We have to be ready at all times to promote the Kingdom of God, because Satan is always on his job. When we are tired and don’t feel like witnessing we must continue and rely on the strength of God to get us through. You cannot suddenly stop in moving traffic because you will be rear ended causing and accident

Spiritual Maturity
Spiritual Maturity
Is when God is our focal point and we know that it is not about us as individuals, but all about God and his Kingdom. It is about giving God our best at all times. It is realizing that we are many members and make up the body of Christ. We all have value in the ministry of the church, and we were created to serve. It’s not about titles or positions or material possession, but serving and pleasing God. It’s not your way but God’s way. God is not the passenger but the driver of your life. When these things are realize one will be Spiritual Mature.
Salt
Salt
A white crystalline substance called Sodium Chloride (NaCl) a chemical compound found abundantly in nature
It Seasons Food
It Preserves Food
It destroys the soil permanently when it is sowed into it
It was used in all meat sacrifices to God
It was used to disinfect
It was used in the making of some covenants call salt covenants
Salt represents purity and incorruptibility which should be the character or nature one should have as a follower of Christ . We are to preserve and keep the teachings of Christ at all times. We are the examples of Christ to the world. We are to influence others to follow Christ, through our good works and deeds. We are to be the standard for living to the world. We are to witness and testify of the goodness of God to the world. If we lose our savour we have compromised our testimony of Christ and our testimonies will not mean a thing to those we are witnessing to because they see the phoniness of your witness. We should be on fire for Christ, people should want what we have in Christ. Which is joy, peace, faith, gentleness, goodness, longsuffering and love. The fruit of the Spirit should be evident in all that we do, but if we have lost our savor we are good for nothing but to be trodden on by ones feet.
Light
Light
That is why when you have the symbol of the fish or any other christian symbol or message on the back of your car you cannot be cussing and giving people the one finger salute.
Light
Light
Light
Light was created by God and he saw it was good
Light symbolizes the glory of God and his presence
Light represents the saving presence of God in a world of darkness
Light expels darkness
Light makes things visible
Light represents holiness, and positive good things
Light illuminates
Light is a revelation from God to all humanity
Jesus said in (KJV)” I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. He also stated in (KJV)”As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Jesus made a shift or transition, he empowered you as the salt of the earth, you as the light of the world. He did not want his followers to hide or hesitate in giving the light that he had deposited in them. He let them know that light should be seen and not covered up. Light should illuminate its surroundings and expose all darkness. Satan cannot stand to be around holiness or in the light. He will try and stop you from letting the light of Christ shine in you at all cost. He is here to block the light and destroy your testimony. He does not want you to witness the goodness of Christ. He will attack you any way he can.
He will use:
your family or loves one
your finances
your health
your job
your inter-most secret desires
I just wanted you to know that my Jesus is greater and bigger than anything the Devil can say or do. Jesus is my doctor when I need him, he’s my lawyer in the court room, he’s my banker when my funds are low, he’s my strength when I am weak, he’s my best friend in times of trouble he’s my father, mother sister, and brother. He’s my all in all. He said he would never leave me or forsake me, he has always been there for me. All I had to do was submit my will over to him and repent of my wicked ways. Believe that he was the Son of God and that he died for my sins and that God raised him on the third day. Stay in the right lane. Stop being reckless going through life. Put your focused on God and he will steer you in the right direction. Keep the light shining within your heart. Do good, in all that you do, for others to see, the God in you. You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
