FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY DAVID IBIYEOMIE

Our calling goes far beyond the foot of the cross. Our calling does not end at the cross, but begins at the cross.  Our salvation is not the completed work of God but the beginning of what God seeks to do in our lives.
Philippians 1: 6 -Being confident of this very thing that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
The word ‘work’ taken from verse 6 comes from the Greek word ergon, which literally means ‘to produce an accomplished product by hand’

PUTTING YOURSELF UNDER STRESS BY BERNI DYMET

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve, but we serve the same Lord. And there are different ways that God works in people, but it is the same God who works in all of us to do everything. Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others.

Mark 16:18 “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

This either speaks literally of supernatural protection if we pick up a snake, or symbolically of protection in our fight against the devil. Since the other four signs in this list are literal, it is most probable that this means physically taking up snakes.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have perfect peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer….I have overcome the world. – John 16:33, The Amplified Bible

Jesus said as long as you live in the world, you’re going to have trouble. (I can vouch for that!) But you’re not just in the world. You’re in Jesus in the world, and that makes all the difference. You’re in Him and He’s overcome every kind of trouble there is.

These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God . . . — John 20:31

God caused the Bible to be written for the express purpose of revealing to us God’s plan for His redemption. God caused the Book to be written that He might make His everlasting laws clear to His children, and that they might have His great wisdom to guide them, and His great love to comfort them as they make their way through life.
