When you do charitable deeds

Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven, Matthew 6:1.

My friend do good, only to please God, not men, and when you do this, your reward will come from Him alone. But to do good to be seen of men means, God will not reward you in any way or form. Jesus said, "Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do..."

What do hypocrites do?

Let me be blunt here, they like to give in churches, and have notable registered charities, "that they may have glory from men." Judas Iscariot wanted to do it, not because he loved the poor, but because he was a thief.

Jesus said "your charitable deed must be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly," Matthew 6:4.

Choose then whose reward you want, that of God or men? Proverbs 31:29 says, "many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all." My friend when you take heed, and you do your alms in a way God detects, you will shine or surpass those who seek glory of men.

Those who show off or blow own trumpets on social media have no reward from God. They have already received their reward - to be seen of men. This also is said of prayer and fasting; don’t be like them who pray on TV or on social media platforms.

God bless you,

Laurence

Sit down, Martha!

The story of Martha and Mary tells us that there are two types of Christians out there; where one is a worshipper and another is a waitperson or server. You can choose what you want to be, that’s to be a worshipper or server. But listen to this before you do; " Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her. "" Luke 10:38-42. Mary chose the best part, to sit down at his feet and not be worried, frustrated, confused and troubl

Why is finding God so difficult?

God says, ‘Here I am’ My hands stretched all day long for you, but “... when I called, you did not answer; When I spoke, you did not hear, But did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight," Isaiah 65:12. He said you’ve walked in a way that is not good, i.e. according to you own thoughts. That’s why I "was found by those who did not seek Me." ‘Here I am!‘ The good thing with God is he reveals himself to you, but sadly we choose not to see, seek, listen nor to find him. To “find God” is an expression that can mean different things to different people. For some, is getting religion, whatever religion that may be. For others, to “find God” means to “clean up one’s life,” usually with his help. In any case, to “find God” involves a change in someone’s attitude and behaviour. Biblically speaking, to find God means to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is only through Jesus that anyone can come to God (John 14:6), and receiving Christ results in a

You are a chosen generation

Reverend Muzembi " Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded " 1 Peter 2:6 KJV Christ, is very precious to God. He is a chief corner stone upon this spiritual house God is building. You’re precious to God too, and " as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ " 1 Peter 2:5. We’re priests, who offer to God those things that please him - you matter so much to God. Christ is precious to you who believe in God through him, for without him we can do nothing, all our royalty is because him, and to those who reject him still he’s precious, that when iniquity abounds they may fall. But you are not like them, for through Christ you have been chosen by God himself, you are God's very own - all this so that you may show to others how God called you o
