Well Done

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

           

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. - SAINT MATTHEW 25:23

Praise the LOVE of our Lives, JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS GREETINGS, my friend,

     Well, Thank JESUS it's Friday! - smile - We have come to the end of another work week, as we continue to endeavor our making progress towards our becoming all that our PRECIOUS CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28} has so lovingly Commissioned us to be.  Hallelujah!!!
 


     Now, I know that many of us have gone through (really all of us as Saints of The MOST HIGH GOD - DANIEL 7:18) numerous trials and tribulations in route to our attaining unto what The PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT of King David Calls our "wealthy place {PSALM 66:12}", meaning the place where ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD Has Envisioned for us.
 

     Although this does not mean that all of us will become monetarily wealthy in terms of our accumulating the world's standard of great wealth, however, it does entail our GLORIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER Taking good care of us HIS Beloved children {1 JOHN 3:10} in HIS Ensuring that all our several needs are indeed met {SAINT MATTHEW 6:8}.  For this same said King David wrote in the twenty-third Psalm, "The LORD is my Shepherd.  I shall not want {PSALM 23:1}."

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. - PROVERBS 18:21

     With these truths in mind, today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE Aptly shows us the Parable of the servants in whom their lord entrusted unto them certain talents of gold in order that they'd wisely accrue more of the same.  When the servant with five talents gained five more {SAINT MATTHEW 25:20}, and the servant with two talents gained two more {SAINT MATTHEW 25:22}, his lord said "well done...{SAINT MATTHEW 25:23}".  However, to the servant who was given one talent, but chose to hide it for fear of losing his lord's money, anger was bestowed upon him from his lord, and he was counted unworthy, with his talent being taken from him and given to the man with ten {SAINT MATTHEW 25:25-30}.


     Let's face it, my friend, this Parable spoken of By our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST informs us that ALMIGHTY GOD Delights in progress.  HE Delights in our utilizing what HE Has Given us whether it is finances, gifts, talents, abilities, or the like in order that we'd garner more souls for HIS BELOVED KINGDOM, thus bringing Glory to HIS HOLY NAME {SAINT JOHN 12:28} and The NAME of HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 17:5, 2 THESSALONIANS 1:12}!



     Our PRECIOUS HOLY BIBLE Declares that we are not our own {1 CORINTHIANS 6:20}.  Because of CHRIST JESUS'S AWESOME DEATH AND VICTORIOUS RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN 19:30, SAINT MARK 16}, we who have placed our faith in our LORD JESUS, have in truth been "bought with a price {1 CORINTHIANS 6:20}".  That hefty Price my friend is the Precious Blood of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST {1 PETER 1:18-19}.  When we understand this, we will not waste time in focusing on worldly-pursuits and things that shine the light on us and our gifts, but rather everything we think, say, or do should bring ALL the focus, having our minds stayed on our Loving HEAVENLY FATHER, THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST, and our LORD, SAVIOR, MASTER, KING, AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {ISAIAH 26:3}!


     My friend, it is human nature to always, for those of us with integrity, desire to hear "Good Job" for something worthwhile we have By the GRACE OF CHRIST JESUS, accomplished.  Even as children, when a beloved parent congratulated us on something, or showed interest in our accomplishing something praiseworthy, it encouraged us, being the impetus for our wanting to do more for that particular authority figure.
 

     I still receive encouragement from the eternal words of my Dad the Reverend James Oliver Mc Morris Sr. saying to me many years ago "that boy knows something!", or his approval declaring "You're a scholar alright!", or even his saying "You're a businessman!"  These three statements of affirmation have stuck with me all through my life, even though He's With our JESUS in Glory now!


     Friend, from our BLESSED HOLY BIBLE it is evident that our words matter.  Because it matters what we say about others, especially our children, and ourselves, it does us good to confess the WORD OF GOD over our lives, as well as our children and friends lives.  Someone once said "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."




     This my friend holds great truth in it.  For King Solomon, By the HOLY SPIRIT, Commands that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue...{PROVERBS 18:21a}."  Therefore, because our MAKER and CREATOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, also COMMANDS in SAINT MARK 11:23, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (emphasis mine).", it behooves us to consider what we think before we say anything.


     So, my friend what is your greatest wish or prayer in life.  For myself, as well as I'm sure for every Christian brother or sister, hearing our LORD Say "Well done..." is at the forefront of my mind.  Without CHRIST JESUS, we can do nothing {SAINT JOHN 15:5}, and my friend, I wouldn't have it any other way.  Our JEHOVAH GOD is a GOOD GOD, and HIS Mercy endureth forever {1 CHRONICLES 16:34, PSALM 106:1}.
 

     When we set our hearts on things above, not on things of the earth {COLOSSIANS 3:1}, we will live each and everyone of our days in the fullness of joy {PSALM 16:11}, and even during times of mourning in our lives {ECCLESIASTES 3:4}, as when love ones pass unto glory, as I heard Dr. Charles Stanley of Intouch Ministries preach, we will always find our rejoicing during these dire times as we seek to rejoice in JESUS CHRIST {PHILIPPIANS 3:3 - HOLY BIBLE - King James Version}.  Amen?  Amen!  "Little children, keep yourselves from idols.  Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}."
