Welcome to Ning

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

  • #And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men; Knowing that of Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done and there is no respect of persons. Col. 3:23-25

    We as Christians must do our work unto the Lord Christ, for he shall reward us with the reward of the inheritance and it will not pass away. So when others see us they should know that we are the best servants and not just clock watchers. Since the coronavirus pandemic has turned the world upside down with lockdowns and work from home schemes. We must be more vigilant than ever before. Paul warns the Colossians that whoever does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he or she hath done and there is no respect of persons with God. Be not deceived for God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, so we must confess our sins before God, for he is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9 This passage is about rebounding from error, since we all make mistakes and need to recover from the trials and errors of life. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him. So thank God that when we confess our sins, God restores us to fellowship in the body of Christ just as if we had never sinned. Restitution must be paid by those who may have stolen something. God is no respect of persons and as Jesus confronted Zacchaeus the tax collector, he said if I have defrauded any man I shall restore sevenfold. Jesus told him that salvation had entered his household. He that stole must steal no more but work with his hands so that he may give to those that have needs. By doing this, God is well pleased and you will receive the reward of the inheritance in heaven.

  • #Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Col. 3:22

    The Greek word for servants is doulou and it describes the slave who was taken by his master as a servant. It has the connotation of a bond-servant who serves for life and it is a picture of the Christian life we must please God in all things, not watching the clock as we work in the vineyard, but with singleness of heart fearing God. For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for our lives before the Lord. We will receive a reward for our service so we must run not as one that beats the air but keeps his eyes on Jesus. Slavery was practiced in the Roman Government and Jews were aware of how they were to perform to please their masters. Slavery will be on the earth until Jesus returns to establish his Kingdom, so Paul told the slaves to see themselves as servants of God Elyon who rules in the affairs of men. Thank God that Slavery was abolished in America in 1865 by Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War. We still have the vestiges of the results of former slaves who have been liberated, but still suffer discrimination. We must serve as bond-servants of Christ knowing that we will receive the reward of the inheritance when we do our work as Christians. Thank God for great men like Martin Luther King who lead the freedom walks which gave us the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He gave his life as he was assassinated for doing so. We will find many in heaven who will receive the crown of life for their service as Jesus said if we die with him, we will reign with him.

  • #Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Col. 3:20,21

    Children are given the command to obey their parents in all things and Fathers are commanded not to provoke their children to anger lest they be discouraged. The key is fathers who are in the Lord knows how to discipline their children without discouraging them. The bible tells us that wrath is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of reproof gets it out of them. So always tell your children when you discipline them that you love them and this is for your good. The children will understand and respect you for this. Today with so many divided families with only one parent, this is a missing element in the family and because of It, children are disobedient to their parents. A house divided against itself shall not stand. Families need to be encouraged more now than ever before in this coronavirus pandemic and we do that by sharing bible verses one to another to lift our spirits in adversity. The scripture tells us that God makes all things beautiful in His time and this gives us hope in the midst of sorrow. My prayer is that wives will submit to their husbands and that husbands will love their wives, then the children will be obedient to their parents in the Lord. This is how to have a happy Christian home.

  • #Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them. Col. 3:18,19

    Paul now shifts to the Christian home and how important it is for wives to submit unto your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord. I worked as a vocational minister and Service Technician which allowed me to go in the homes and repair major appliances like washers, dryers, dishwashers, garbage deposers, and water heaters. I met a lot of wives who were angry at their husbands who were not handy enough to them. The command is to submit to your own husband, whether he is handy or not. I counseled some of them and told them to respect their husbands and thank God that he provided a wonderful home for them to live in. This is something that builds up husbands when they know that their wife respects them and husbands will, in turn, love their wives by not being bitter against them. Bitterness is a great detraction to love and it is so important that wives treat their husband with respect not complaining to other husbands about how bad your husband is about not doing housework, like washing dishes. Husbands need to support wives at home more knowing that they need help with the children and the housework. It is a blessing now that with the coronavirus pandemic, more husbands are at home working remotely and they are able to support the wife with the children more. God causes all things to work together for our good to those that love the Lord and are called according to his purposes.

  • #Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col. 3:16,17

    In order to thrive in the Christian life, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. This is how we overcome the coronavirus pandemic and not fall into a state of depression. With many churches now starting to assemble together, it is important that we continue to pray for one another and encourage one another with the word of God. Then whatever we do in word or deed, we must do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Every day is a day of thanksgiving and we must give thanks to God in all things for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. So call someone and speak words of wisdom using scripture to teach and admonish one another. Read a psalm and sing hymns to the Lord for encouragement.

  • #And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful. Col. 3:14,15

    Charity is above all the fruits of the Spirit that we are to put on. Love covers a multitude of sins and perfect love covers all sins. This is so important in the body of Christ that unites us and knits us together. The last fruit is peace and we have peace with God through the blood of Jesus. Therefore the peace of God is to rule in our hearts, to which also we are called in one body and we are to be thankful for this. When we do this the home is just like a church where all the members are at peace with one another and loving one another unconditionally by the power of the Holy Spirit. So tell your family members how much you love them and are working to keep the peace of God ruling in our hearts in the family. As all families have issues, when we have them we will forgive one another just as Christ has forgiven us.

  • #Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Col. 3:12,13

    We are now a new creation in Christ Jesus and have a new robe to put on which is a sign of the filling of the Holy Spirit: Kindness enables us to treat people kindly even those who have treated us badly. Humbleness of mind allows us to not think more highly of ourselves than God would want us to think. Longsuffering allows us to wait on God when life throws us curve balls. Forbearing one another allows us to overcome the hatred of others who have treated us wrong and forgiving one another allows us to forgive them as Christ has forgiven us. We overcome quarrels with people by forgiving them as Christ has forgiven you. This is the greatest manifestation that we are walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. God will reward us for our faith just like He rewarded the children of Israel who obeyed Moses at the Rea Sea to cross over to the other side. Remember faith is our victory over this world, so no matter what you are facing have faith in God. Maybe the doctor gave you a bad report, just have faith in God that He will heal you and see you through.

  • #There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free but Christ is all and in all. Col. 3:11

    In Christ, we are all one and He is all and in all. The Church today is multicultural consisting of many cultures male and female yet Christ made us one through his blood. For all have sinned all fallen short of the glory of God; there is none righteous, but we have imputed righteousness in Christ. We are sanctified by the Holy Spirit and not by keeping the Law. We have been circumcised by the Holy Spirit in the heart and are one body in Christ. This is poignant and can only be understood by the Spirit. We are accepted in the beloved as the body of Christians there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ. It is time that the Church will be that pure Bride without blemish or spot ready for the coming of the Lord to take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. What a joy that will be when all Greek, Jew, circumcised, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, and free will all be one in Christ Jesus.

  • #But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Col. 3:8-10

    We must put off anger while it, no sin to be angry, but we must not sin by being angry. Also, wrath has put off because vengeance is of the Lord he will repay. We must speak the truth to our neighbors and realize that we have put off the old man with his deeds. We have put on the new man which is renewed in the knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ who has set us free from the law of sin and death. Therefore walk in the liberty wherewith Christ has set us free. Since we are created in him a new creation by the Holy Spirit.

  • #Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is idolatry; For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time when ye lived in them. Col. 3:5-7

    We must put to death our flesh upon the cross by not allowing it to control us. When we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Marriage between a man and a woman will produce fruits of righteousness.  God is light and will not allow any darkness at all in the church. We pray for the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. We need a revival in the church and it will be good to have a Christian Supreme Court Justice on the court. May God bless America and the free as well as the brave.
