Genesis 6

Oct3

Good Morning y’all.

Today we in Genesis chapter 6. The people on earth at that time were so corrupt and evil that God regretted creating them. Yet in the midst of the evil, there was Noah who stood out and found favour with God.  I pray our lifestyles will not make God regret ever choosing us as one his children.

Be blessed 🙂

S – Scriptures that stood out for me
Genesis 6:8 NLT :But Noah found favor with the lord .

Genesis 6:9 NLT: This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.

Genesis 6:22 NLT: So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

O – Observations
O1) Noah stood out from the rest of the human race which made him find favour in the sight of God. He was a righteous man, the only blameless person on earth at that time.

O2) When others around us are doing the wrong thing, we have the choice to either join in or be different and do the right thing. Doing the right thing will earn us favour with God as it did Noah. God will be pleased with us.

O3) Noah also walked in close fellowship with God thats why he was able to stand out and not be part of all the evil going on. His relationship with God influenced his lifestyle and his choices.

O4) Noah was obedient to God’s instruction. If he had not obeyed, no telling what would have happened to the human race when the flood came.

A – Application
A1) Let’s stand out for God today. Choose to do the right thing.

A2) Be obedient to whatever God is asking us to do

P – Prayer
Dear Lord we thank you for today. We thank you for another opportunity to learn at your feet. Today we ask for the grace to  to do the right thing even when we are surrounded by evil. Pls help us be obedient to you, that we won’t make you unhappy with the way we live our lives. We pray you will be proud of us and we will find favour in your sight today. In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Thanks for joining today.

Have a wonderful day and remember to stand out for God today 🙂

2 Peter Chapter 1

Sep15

Good Morning y’all.  It’s Monday!!! And we are starting a new book…yaaay. We begin our journey into 2 Peter. Looking at Chapter 1 today.

Here we go 🙂

S – Scriptures that stood out for me

2 Peter 1:3 NIV : His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

2 Peter 1:19 MSG : We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard— God’s glory, God’s voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You’ll do well to keep focusing on it. It’s the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star in your hearts.

O – Observations

O1 – We have everything we need to live a godly life through God’s power that’s at work in us. All we need to do is first BELIEVE that we have all we need to run this race.  Secondly we need to get deeper and intimate with the one who called us to this new way of life – Jesus. Need to study God’s word,find the Instructions and be about doing them.There is no use hearing the word of God and not taking action. Gods word is living! Get tapping 🙂

O2 – God desires for us to mature in him and get to know him better. He doesn’t want  us to remain stagnant. Hence the admonition in v5-8.  We need to have the following attributes: faith, goodness, knowledge, self control,  endurance,  godliness, kindness and love. When we have those traits in us, we become more productive and effective for God.

O3 – Remaining stagnant in our walk with God is not an option

O4 – We must keep on paying attention and giving ourselves to the word. The word is God… so the more we study, the more of Him we are taking in and we will blossom and flourish as we do this.

05 – God’s word brings illumination where there is darkness…For any situation we are facing, there are scriptures in the bible to guide us, instruct us, comfort us and see us through the situation. The message version says God’s word is “the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the morning star in your hearts”.

A – Application

A1 – choose one or 2 of the attributes listed in v 5-8  and make a Conscious effort to practice it today. Be very pratical and set goals that are reasonable and dont give up even if you mess up. Keep trying 🙂

For me I will be  practicing self control by Gods grace. Diffucult times at work currently and a lot of gossiping and bad mouthing senior managers…but today im gonna exercise self control and restrain my tongue from joining the gossip or i walk away from the conversation immediately God helping me. (will let you know how i get on in my post tomorrow :). Pray for me i must pass this test 🙂 )

P – Prayer

Dear Lord thank you for today and for the opportunity to learn at your feet. Thank you for all the promises and blessings that is ours through Jesus. Thank you for we know we already have all we need to run this race. Give us grace to develop  and practice the traits you require of us. May your grace and peace be ours in full measure today and always. We love you Lord. All this we ask and believe we have received In Jesus Name.

Thanks for reading now it’s ur turn to SOAP 🙂
