Building God's House

For the Lord God is a sun and shield, the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. - Psalms 84:11

The promise here are unmistakable. The condition clearly states "walk uprightly with the Lord your God." This is why we preach holiness and emphasize on the total obedience to the Lord. This is the reason we encourage every Christian to walk in the narrow way and remain faithful to the Word of God in his public and private life.

It is understandable that the blessings of God are attached to the obedience of His word. There are several churchgoers who complain to be serving Him. They concede to their sinfulness but still affirm their devotion to the Almighty God. What hypocrisy! They can easily admit unfaithfully, "especially pride", through their words, actions and deeds. Yet they do not heed any godly sermon that leads them to repentance.

Beloved, repent and forsake your ungodly ways today and turn to the Lord with all your heart. Receive the word of God and obey it excitedly. Those who continue in their sins and expect to enjoy the promises of God would find their hopes dashed.

Sinners in church who are stagnant and unprogressive in their spiritual lives remain as the "tail," while new believers who have been sincerely born again, are forging ahead and becoming the "head". It is really painful to be the tail.

Beloved child of the living God! Why should you be "tail" when your Heavenly Father has set you to be a "head" ?

The word of God in Haggai 1:5,7 says, "Now therefore, thus says the Lord of Hosts, "Consider your ways."

Do mull over your habits and activities to ask whether your attitude is sensible before the Lord.

- Daniel O.C
