Where Your Focus Is : Theme Of The Week

"If you have then be raised with Christ seek things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God" - Colossians 3:1

Apostle Paul is telling us where to put our focus. If your focus is on worldly things, that's where you belong. You focus is very important as it discerns what and when something happens. We as Christians should seek God first than anything else. What about the Isrealites and the golden calf? Where was there focus? On the golden calf. That means that they belonged to it, and practised the cultures that it wanted them to do. God says in Exodus 20:4 "Do not make any idols of any form that look like anything in the earth, the sky or under the earth". The focus and attention of the Isrealites was on there idol. This is why God warns us to follow His path instead of our own. What happened to the Isrealites? God punishes them for there disobedience. Sometimes, our own desires can lead to disobedience and when we disobey, God leaves us because we have sinned. And God hates SIN!



So: Be careful where you put your focus!

Exodus 20:4
Colossians 3:1

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
