Press #PLAY and #SWIPELEFT ___ The tongue though a small part can set the whole body on fire. It must be bridled. We bridle the tongue by filtering the content of our heart. We must ask God whom alone truly knows our heart to search our heart, illuminate its content and cleanse it. ___ Read more on this on our blog. Follow #linkinbio or below https://growinggodseternalfamily.com/2018/03/20/bridling-the-tongue/ ____ #ShortTalk #BridlingtheTongue #YouAreEternallyLoved #GrowingGodsEternalFamily #GGEF #BeingGodsLoveToThe99and1

If you are a preacher, a pastor, a teacher, a minister, a writer, a blogger, an encourager, an inspirational speaker, a CHRISTIAN, then this is for you. ____ Please make sure you are not just preaching, pastoring, writing, blogging, encouraging, inspiring and saying all the “Christian things” but you are also taking in the things you are telling others and acting on it. Please don’t get caught up in sharing the word and encouraging others that you neglect your own spiritual growth. Don’t run into quiet time just to get a word to share with others but make sure you get a word for yourself first. Go into the word of God with the purpose of knowing God more and allowing His word to illuminate and work in you. Then and only then will you be able to effectively serve others. Make sure you are fully filled before running to pour out. ___ One thing I personally do is, I take time to read and reflect on my previous posts and blogs and I am either encouraged by them or I get convicted of what I said that I ain’t doing or acting on myself. ___ Understand that most times the "Rhema" #WORD you got was for YOU first. So let it work in you before running out to share it. Don’t get so caught in always talking without doing. Don’t be the one who teaches whose life doesn’t reflect what is taught to others. ___ Make sure you are also running the race and not just directing others. Make sure you are also bearing fruit and not just teaching other how to bear fruit. Make sure you are also working out your salvation. ____ SO, Maybe, instead of writing and posting today, how about you read (or listen) through some of the things you previously wrote (or preached). You will be amazed. Instead of talking today, how about you take time to listen, reflect and act. _____ #SpendQualityTimeWithGodFORYOU #DontMissOutInTheRace #YouAreEternallyLoved #GrowingGodsEternalFamily #BeingGodsLoveToThe99and1

#NEWBLOGPOST #LINKINBIO 🔲 Your true identity is rooted and sealed into God's identity. One of the worst things you can ever do to yourself is to ask people or the world about who you are. 🔲 "Can you tell me what you think of me? Give me one word to describe me. Tell me one thing you like about me, etc." Many of us are constantly looking to the people around us, social media people and the world as a whole for our identity. If you are ever going to ask such questions, be sure to know who you are first so you don’t begin to think they are correct in their opinion and judgment of you. 🔲 Jesus did something similar in the Bible (Matthew 16:13-20) He asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am and who do you say I am?” Various answers and opinions were said. But only Peter said the correct identity of Jesus. 🔲 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matt 16:16) 🔲 How did Jesus know that Peter’s response was correct? Because Jesus knows WHO he is. You’ve got to know you before you go around asking questions (If you must ask). 🔲 Because you can count on people to give you an identity. In fact, the word "identity" doesn't qualify what people give you, rather they give you "A LABEL." Yes, because a label is superficial and many of these people don’t know you, so they give you a "label" based on what they "think or see or feel" about you. Many people said Jesus was a prophet, Elijah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, etc. They labeled him based on their prior experience, based on what they think. Not based on the truth. Because they didn't truly know him nor his father (God). 🔲 Unfortunately, you are also not qualified to identify yourself. Because it is possible to have a distorted view of yourself. The only one who is qualified to ACCURATELY identity you is God. Because he created you. You are created in his image. 🔲 Your true identity is rooted in God's identity (Who God is). You want to know who you are? Then you've gotta KNOW GOD. 🔲 Follow #linkinbio to continue reading OR continue in comment section 👇

“GOD LOVES YOU.” 🔲 ▪Commonly said but not fully understood nor appreciated ▪Familiarity with the phrase has diminished its effect in our lives ▪Our heart does not skip a beat anymore. ▪It’s no longer a big deal but a cliche. But IT IS A BIG DEAL. 🔲 God still would have sent his son for you if you were the only one on earth. He knows how many hairs are on your head He knows when you wake up and go to bed (Santa is just a creepy stalker & does not exist).😊 🔲 He is a God that keep coming after you. Pursuing you. God loves you so much that the salvation he has given through Jesus Christ is an eternal one. Jesus died for us ONCE & FOR ALL. 🔲 John 3:16 is a promise that God can’t withdraw. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 🔲 God’s love for you is so deep and strong that nothing will snatch you from His hands And nothing can separate you from his love (Romans 8:38-39) Don’t ever dismiss God’s love for you. It’s a love that keeps on loving regardless of your actions. 🔲 Don’t detach yourself from God’s love. Personalize It. PUT YOUR NAME ON IT, because, HE CALLS YOU BY NAME. “Esther, I love you”, says God. It doesn’t get old. That makes my heart skip a beat. It makes everything better. 🔲 The true revelation of God’s love to a man will change his life. 🔲 GOD IS LOVE. His perfect love cast out fear His love gives us hope and faith Most importantly, His love enables us to love others. 🔲 God Bless. You are Eternally Loved. 🔲 #GrowingGodsEternalFamily #BeingGodsLoveToThe99and1 #YouAreEternallyLoved

The verse above has been a very controversial one. Many have interpreted it as, "Work for your salvation, work to earn your salvation or work to keep your salvation or risk losing it." 🔲 None of that is an accurate understanding of this Bible verse. 1. We can NEVER earn or work for our salvation. It is God’s gift (Ephesians 2:8-9) 2. We can NEVER maintain our salvation with good works because we can NEVER lose it (John 3:16, 1 John 5:11-13, John 10:28-29, etc). 🔲 So what does the Bible verse mean? 🔲 To accurately understand this bible verse we need to start reading from the beginning of the Chapter (Please read Philippians 2). Paul is addressing the Philippians, telling them to imitate Jesus. To love one another, be kind, compassionate, humble, selfless just like Jesus. Though Jesus is God he didn’t assert equality to God but remained humble and because of this God exalted him (This is Philippians 2:1-11 summarized. Then came verse 12 - See verse in picture) 🔲 So, Paul is telling them that they must continue to obey and do all these things (be kind, full of love, compassionate, etc just like Jesus) and WORK OUT your salvation with fear and trembling. It means that we should walk in and live out our new saved nature. Be Christ-like. 🔲 After salvation, we are called to good works (Ephesians 2:10 - For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus FOR good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.) So salvation produces good works in us. 🔲 I find Philippians 2:12 a parallel of Matthew 3:8 where John the Baptist said to the people, Produce fruits consistent with repentance. This is also like saying, work out your repentance. 🔲 We don’t do good works in order to earn or keep our salvation, rather we do good works because we are saved people. When we obey the greatest commandment to love God and love others in all possible forms and areas of life, this is us working out our salvation and producing fruits that are consistent with salvation. And we do this with fear and trembling (Obediently and reverentially in awe of God). 🔲 Continue reading in comment section 👇 or follow link in bio👆
