"So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. 13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] [c]God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. " Phil 2:12-13
When I read these verses, I saw clearly why we should actively take charge of our lives since God is at work in our lives. It is not that we just have to either do what we feel like or leave it,But WE ARE OBLIGED TO GUARD OUR WAYS TAKING CHARGE THAT WE PLEASE GOD since he is at work in us. God at work in us,what a great and powerful this is.
PRAISED BE THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

The Power of Temptation
Did you know that the Power of temptation rests on the deceptive promise that sin will bring
more satisfaction than living for God?
If you didnt know,get it then cause that is what it is!
The really thruth is that:
It is only God’s way that can satisfy us.
See what God says in :
Psalm 16:11, “You show me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy, in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.”
We all desire happiness, but sin and happiness cannot live together. Sin is a counterfeit of happiness that brings with it shame and regret. On the other hand, sacrificial love brings true joy, and a life of virtue brings happiness. Try it and see.
May God bless us as we take that challenge of always finding joy in God by commiting our lives to him always for that is the only place we can actually get that true joy and happiness.
Amen.

You are designated!
Acts 22:14-15
14 Then he said, ‘The God of our ancestors designated you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of his voice; 15 for you will be his witness before all to what you have seen and heard.
Observations
When I read the above part of the Scripture I discovered something beautiful,that since I am told to be God's witness throughout the world (Acts 1:6-8)so it is also true that God has designated me to know his will to hear him speak and see him.That is very consoling to me,to know that designation!
It then tells us what we should do when we get to know that we are designated to know God' will
Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.’ Acts 22:16
Its a call then to everyone who believe in Jesus,to Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.He will then let us know his will and make us his witnesses throughout the world
May God bless us and help us to really know and accept his will in our lives
