God keeps us from stumbling

24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, 

25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25

Perseverance must finish its work

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. --James 1:2-4

A GOD WHO RELATES

Our God is a God who relates,so our lives should as well be 
centered into relationships and not just 
achieving things.May the Almighty God help us to live in love and unity.

NO EXCUSE

Mara nyingine huwa tunadanganyika halafu tunakubali,tunaogelea katika dhambi kwa kisingizio kuwa sisi ni wadhaifu,angalia Mungu asemayo hapa:


3 Maana haya ndiyo mapenzi ya Mungu, kutakaswa kwenu, mwepukane na uasherati;
4 kila mmoja wenu ajue kuuweza mwili wake katika utakatifu na heshima;
5 si katika hali ya tamaa mbaya, kama Mataifa wasiomjua Mungu.
6 Mtu asimpunje ndugu yake wala kumkosa katika jambo hili; kwa sababu Bwana ndiye alipizaye kisasi cha haya yote; kama tulivyowaambia kwanza, tukashuhudia sana.
7 Maana Mungu hakutuitia uchafu, bali tuwe katika utakaso.
8 Basi yeye anayekataa, hakatai mwanadamu bali Mungu, anayewapa ninyi Roho wake Mtakatifu.

1 Thes 4:3-8

Ni mapenzi ya Mungu na kusudi la Mungu tuishinde dhambi maana hatukuumbwa hivyo,na katika kutusaidia katika hilo ametupa na Roho wake Mtakatifu ili atusaidie,Kwa hiyo ni uamuzi wangu kumruhusu Roho Mtakatifu anisaidie au niendelee kutembea katika dhambi mwisho wake uwe ni mauti ya milele

QUESTION

Question: If you were about to do something unknowingly that it is a sin,will you  be guilty even if you will not do it?

"But God came to Abimelech in a dream during the night, and said, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken [as your wife], for she is another man’s wife.” 4 Now Abimelech had not yet come near her; so he said, “Lord, will you kill a people who are righteous and innocent and blameless [regarding Sarah]? 5 Did Abraham not tell me, ‘She is my sister?’ And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.” 6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this in the integrity of your heart, for it was I who kept you back and spared you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not give you an opportunity to touch her. 7 So now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her [to him], know that you shall die, you and all who are yours (your household).” Gen 20:3-7

God's blessing

"I have sworn [an oath], declares the Lord, that since you have done this thing and have not withheld [from Me] your son, your only son [of promise], 17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies [as conquerors].

Through your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have heard and obeyed My voice.” Gen 22:17-18


When we obey God,God blesses us

Naming our descendants

"God said to Abraham, “Do not let it distress you because of Ishmael and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her and do what she asks, for your descendants will be named through Isaac. Gen 21:12


There are times in our lives where we cling to things that will never name our destiny.may God help us to let go of things that wont name our destiny and focus to Jesus who will show us the right way to go

To whom God looks at

1.This is what the Lord says,

“Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.
Where, then, is a house that you could build for Me?
And where will My resting place be?
² 
“For all these things My hand has made,
So all these things came into being [by and for Me],” declares the Lord.
“But to this one I will look [graciously],
To him who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who [reverently] trembles at My word and honors My commands.  Isa 66:1-2

BUILDING AND DESTROYING

The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives],

But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles]. Prov 14:1

DOING THE WORD

   Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
  But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. --James 1:22-25
