Checking into God's Presence... Through the special grace of God, we are suitable to have another monumental meeting with God today. As restless as the day can choose to be, it is a new welcome from God so we can claim from the newness of His Mercy. However, it is not so much about how we began the day, but how well we end up spending our time before His Presence daily.  Paul, the Apostle in 1 Corinthians 3:8-14, states:   The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their labour. For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care, for no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, their work will come to light for what it is because the day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.  If what was built survives, the builder will receive a reward. Therefore, there is a pure understanding in the Christian world that the only way to serve God is to follow His Rules and Commandments. But are you a child of God who has lost their head in the haze of religiosity and refused to follow Godly principles? It is not unthinkable to find these people hoping that the same leads will still be functioning right, albeit spiritually. Whereas: "The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The Lord's statutes are trustworthy, making wise the simple, and His precepts are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.  The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey from the honeycomb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them, there is great reward" Psalm 19:7-11. The rules of God are very distinct and relatively simple, categorically stating we should love God and our neighbours. Period! Why do we have many within the knowledge of God still cutting corners with the Name of God and using means which are separate from His Name? Without mincing words, all acts will be tested by fire, irrespective of any desire: and "their work must show for what it is because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work". 1 Corinthians 3:13  This new month, let us deploy whatever means necessary for serving the Lord so we do not labour in vain in His Presence. Through God's grace, we are what we are and who we are and where we are by the everlasting grace of God and His mercy. I pray, therefore, that the Lord will be moved with the power of His righteousness to settle and sort our issues miraculously, even as we go through the hour of hopelessness in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen Happy new month everyone, I pray October will make us enter into the comfort zone of Our Lord Almighty. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
