Romans 12:6

Romans 12:6 - Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them; If prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.

: The greek word for "gifts" is charismata, which refers to God-given abilities that should be used to build up other members in the church. As christians, we should use these gifts or talents to glorify the Lord and not ourselves. But as humans, the flesh is weak, we are bound to want to use those gifts for our own glory, sometimes we slip up and do get the glory, sadly forgetting all the praise should go to the Lord. God gives us these gifts and talents to praise and glorify Him, we should be devout to this truth and use our gifts only for that reason. I confess, I tend to slip up as well, but if I give God the glory, He smiles and says "well done, good and faithful servant."

APPLICATION : Today, if I do well during my shift at work, I'm going to give all the glory to the Lord.

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Ephesians 6:1 / Colossians 3:20

Ephesians 6:1- Children, Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Colossians 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. : These two books contain two verses with the same exact rule that all children(and teens) should know. Both tell us to honor our mom and dad. This rule is not only mentioned in these texts, but also is one of Gods Ten Commandments that is therefore found in the book of Exodus. Exodus 20:12 says: " Honor your father and mother, that yours days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." What do these texts mean by honoring our parents? It simply tells us that honoring our mom and dad here on earth, pleases the Lord. The Lord smiles when we obey the parents that He placed in our lives. Obedience towards parents is the most beautiful thing under the sun. If we obey our parents, we also in the long run are obeying God as well. Now, let's think about this. Is it better t

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien
