Can a Saint Falsely Accuse God?

All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen . . . —2 Corinthians 1:20 Jesus’ parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25:14-30 was a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacities. This parable has nothing to do with natural gifts and abilities, but relates to the gift of the Holy Spirit as He was first given at Pentecost. We must never measure our spiritual capacity on the basis of our education or our intellect; our capacity in spiritual things is measured on the basis of the promises of God. If we get less than God wants us to have, we will falsely accuse Him as the servant falsely accused his master when he said, "You expect more of me than you gave me the power to do. You demand too much of me, and I cannot stand true to you here where you have placed me." When it is a question of God’s Almighty Spirit, never say, "I can’t." Never allow the limitation of your own natural ability to enter into the matter. If we have received the Ho

this is personal.. 38 And they shall be my people , and I will be their God : 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way , that they may fear me for ever , for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them , to do them good ; but I will put my fear in their hearts , that they shall not depart from me. 41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good , and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. - Jeremiah 32:38-41 (King James Version) **whew... is it hard? when God will do everything for you..? nah... and this verse is wow... and that's His promise.. san ka pa? will you worry? when everything is how... *_* hooh Lord... ** i just can't believe what happened... hehe.. absent ako sa review kanina kase i felt like attending the youth fellowship.. don't know why.. yun pala ito yun! hehehe.. anointing service kanina.. and whoa..

Beware of the Least Likely Temptation

Joab had defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom —1 Kings 2:28 Joab withstood the greatest test of his life, remaining absolutely loyal to David by not turning to follow after the fascinating and ambitious Absalom. Yet toward the end of his life he turned to follow after the weak and cowardly Adonijah. Always remain alert to the fact that where one person has turned back is exactly where anyone may be tempted to turn back (see 1 Corinthians 10:11-13 ). You may have just victoriously gone through a great crisis, but now be alert about the things that may appear to be the least likely to tempt you. Beware of thinking that the areas of your life where you have experienced victory in the past are now the least likely to cause you to stumble and fall. We are apt to say, "It is not at all likely that having been through the greatest crisis of my life I would now turn back to the things of the world." Do not try to predict where the temptation will come; it is t

Inner Invincibility

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me . . . —Matthew 11:29 Whom the Lord loves He chastens . . ." ( Hebrews 12:6 ). How petty our complaining is! Our Lord begins to bring us to the point where we can have fellowship with Him, only to hear us moan and groan, saying, "Oh Lord, just let me be like other people!" Jesus is asking us to get beside Him and take one end of the yoke, so that we can pull together. That’s why Jesus says to us, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light" ( Matthew 11:30 ). Are you closely identified with the Lord Jesus like that? If so, you will thank God when you feel the pressure of His hand upon you. ". . . to those who have no might He increases strength" ( Isaiah 40:29 ). God comes and takes us out of our emotionalism, and then our complaining turns into a hymn of praise. The only way to know the strength of God is to take the yoke of Jesus upon us and to learn from Him. ". . . the joy of the Lord is your strength&q
