EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD: DO YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST TODAY!
“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.
It’s high time you FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good in LIFE and GRACE, as you give your EARS to the HEARING of the WORD of FAITH – Amos 8:11-14; Romans 10:8, 17; Proverbs 4:20-23.
If ‘FAITH’, which is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate and obtain God’s attention COMES by Hearing The WORD, which is of God, it thus means NO HEARING of the WORD of God, means NO ‘FAITH’; and NO FAITH, means NO ACTIVATION can take place as expected to PLEASE God. Amos 8:11-14; Hebrews 11:6.
So, if I may ask, what WORD are you listening to? What WORD are you hearing? What WORD are you giving your attention to? What sorts of information are you FEEDING your spirit-being with? Is it God’s the one SPEAKING or SAYING His WORD to you or otherwise? [Proverbs 4:20-23]. You better check it out, otherwise you may end up making God’s Word of NO EFFECT for your good, because of your TRADITIONS through IGNORANCE.
Are you held bound by TRADITION and IGNORANCE? Yea, meaning held bound by our self made culture, make-believe, dogmas, religiosity, religion and religious prejudice, and man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence and more, which contradicts God’s WORD, the basis of formulating our FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.
“Making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT through your TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:13.
So, EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God as some do when on crossroads and cross fire. Feed your FAITH And starve Your DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good and goodness. 2 Corinthians 13:5.
Be BLESSED in Christ. Amen.
