IS SOMETHING MISSING IN YOUR LIFE?

If you can change anything in your life, what would it be?
Feelings of dissatisfaction or emptiness are usually what motivate us to desire a change.
But a change in our circumstances is a short-lived solution because only God can fill the empty place in our souls.

You can have it all yet still feel that something is missing.
A young ruler had everything the world value - wealth, possessions, position, and authority. Mk 10: 17 - 27 There is nothing wrong with having any of these, but ultimately they cannot fully satisfy.

Our love of possessions can cause us to miss the most important thing in life.
Although money is good and useful in the right hands, it can never buy what we need most. Our most important possession is eternal life. That is why the wealthy ruler came to Jesus. He had all the earthly possessions and achievements he wanted, but He knew He needed one more thing - eternal life.

The gift of eternal life is not the result of our good works.
Although the ruler knew he needed eternal life, he assumed he had to earn it. Because Jesus could see into his heart, He knew the man’s problem was his love of money. It wasn’t that he owned much - but that he was owned by much.

Jesus loves us even when we make wrong choices.
Christ’s interaction with the young man was motivated by His love for him. Jesus saw his problem, gave him the solution, and invited the man to follow Him. But the young man walked away.

The rich young man rejected Christ’s offer of salvation for three reasons:

a) Unbelief
b) Self-righteousness
c) Love of the world

Jesus acknowledges that it is very difficult for the wealthy to enter heaven.
Riches give a false sense of security that hinders people from seeing their need for a Saviour.

God made us for Himself, so that we could have a relationship with Him. Jesus offers the only way to fill the empty spaces in our lives.

QUESTIONS

If you look at your life and feel you need a change, ask yourself what’s missing?

HOW TO STAY YOUNG AND USEFUL ALL YOUR LIFE

Aging is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to make us unfruitful and useless.

The secret to living a productive life is not found in a pill, a drink, or an exercise routine but in listening and doing what the Lord says.

None of us know how long we will live, but while we are still alive, we should desire to be useful and fruitful for God. He is the one who ultimately determines the number of our days, but we have the responsibility of doing what we can to live long and productive lives.

The Lord explains how to stay young and useful throughout our lives, however long we may live. (Psa 92:12-15)

“The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree” (Psa 92:12). It doesn’t apply to everyone but only to those who are righteous and godly. To flourish signifies abundance of growth and fruit. The palm trees do not only produce fruits but whose leaves were used for brooms, baskets,fences, roofs etc.

“He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon” (Psa 92:12). These trees grow as high as one hundred twenty feet, and their branches extend straight out to a circumference of thirty feet. They are truly a majestic sight that symbolizes great strength.

“Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God” (Psa 92:13). Spiritual abundance comes to those who stay close to the Lord.
“They will still yield fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and very green, to declare that the Lord is upright” (Psa 92:14-15).

Instead of being dry and of little use, the righteous person can continue to produce fruit throughout his or her life.

10 ESSENTIAL ATTITUDES THAT YOU REQUIRE

KEEP LEARNING - When we cease to learn, we stop growing because a lazy brain is an aging brain. So much has changed over the course of the years. As technology advances, we must continually learn skills our parents and grandparents never had to know. But the most important pursuits in life are learning the Word of God and memorizing Scripture.

KEEP LOVING -.The first and foremost commandment is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and might (Deut. 6:5). And Jesus taught and modeled love for one another as well. When we stop loving God and other people, bitterness, resentment, hostility, or hatred take up residence within us and damage our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. God created us to love Him and others. That’s why maintaining a loving spirit promotes good health within us.

KEEP LAUGHING - Laughter affects every part of our body, including our nervous system, and sets us free from discontentment and grumbling. Of all the people in the world, Christians should be the happiest because we have the joy of the Lord within us and the greatest reasons to be grateful. Watch comedy shows/videos.

KEEP LEAVING - To stay youthful and productive, we must leave yesterday’s cares and problems behind us instead of dragging them with us into the next day. Since past experiences and situations have the potential to discourage and pull us backwards, we must learn to cast all our anxieties on the Lord, knowing that He cares for us (1 Pet. 5:7). Hanging on to past hurts, disappointments, and discouragements negatively affects our bodies, minds, and emotions. And if we’re anxious about the future, we must also leave these concerns with Jesus and trust Him to handle them.

KEEP LONGING - As we get older, we must keep dreaming about the future. Instead of looking at all the things we can’t do, we should concentrate on what we can accomplish and look forward to what awaits us in the future. As children of God, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to do whatever He desires. Though we may not feel adequate, we should never underestimate what the Lord can do through us when we’re willing and obedient.

KEEP LOOKING AHEAD - We should plan for tomorrow even if we don’t think we have many active years left. Looking forward to what God would have us do and pursuing activities we enjoy energizes us to continue being useful and productive.

KEEP LOOKING YOUR BEST - There’s something about looking and doing our best that stimulates and encourages us to keep going.

KEEP LABORING - Although we may not be able to do what we once did, retirement from a career is not a time to cease working. It may be a time to change what we do, but telling ourselves that we no longer have to work sends a message to our bodies that they can stop functioning. In the Christian life there is no retirement because we can still bear spiritual fruit and make a difference in people’s lives until the day we die.

KEEP LEANING ON THE LORD - Each day should be lived in dependence upon and trust in God. He’s the one we rely upon for wisdom, direction, and provision. There is no need to fret when we lean on the Lord in prayer. We can trust Him with all our concerns, knowing that He is always present and faithful.

KEEP LISTENING - The most important thing we can do is listen to the Lord. Though we cannot hear Him audibly, He speaks to us in our hearts through His Word and His Spirit. As we open the Scripture and pray for guidance and wisdom, He’ll answer us. But if we don’t listen to Him, we’ll be spiritually crippled throughout our lives and unable to discern His will. However, if we heed His voice, He will help us make wise decisions, guide us into the right relationships, empower us to avoid temptations, and convict us when we sin.

If you are a YOUNG PERSON, you may not think these practices are essential for you at this point in your life. However, there are advantages of making these attitudes a part of your life as early as possible.

If you are an OLDER PERSON, you may think it’s too late for you to become productive again. Instead of focusing on productivity as the world defines it, consider God’s description of a righteous person.

GOD BLESS YOU.

TURNING BACK THE HAND OF TIME.
BY APOSTLE SOLOMON EMMANUEL.

Proverbs 22:15 KJV
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Good morning to you and your house hold, how are u doing today, trust your day is going well this morning.
I quickly want to bring to your notice that whatever mess you found your self can not end your world until you conclude it's over when it's not yet over. It can't be over until you are over.
Making corrections to mistakes of yesterday happens to be the most difficult decision to take in life. However taking such strong decision will definitely break you down but in a short while will make you smile.
Don't ever be afraid to correct any mistake that will take your life tomorrow or put you in a shameful state. So many people are dead today as a result of failure to make urgent corrections, some are in pain right now, living in regret day after day yet they decide to remain in that problem, then such people come to church and begin to speak in tongues! It can't work.
God can not give you anything that will put your life to shame, pain, disgrace, suffering, regrets etc. These are self willed destiny that needs urgent corrections otherwise you die in silence.
2019 is our year of divine appointment , we must prepare our selves for a new change, a new job, a new appointment, a new promotion, a new life etc.
(THE LIFE YOU LEAVE TODAY IS A RESULT OF YOUR DECISIONS YESTERDAY AND THE DECISION YOU TAKE TODAY WILL DETERMINE YOUR TOMORROW).
stay blessed, I remain Apostle Solomon Emmanuel of SERVANT OF CHRIST CHURCH, till I come your way again, be in charge of your decisions.

SACRIFICIAL OFFERING
By: Apostle Solomon Emmanuel cure cure
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. Heb. 11:17

One of the demands of true love and faith is sacrifice. If you truly love God you will offer sacrificially to Him. Too many times many believers hold back from God certain things they deem precious to them. However, one of the ways to secure that which you have is to give it to God. Sacrificial giving is an attribute of true faith. A lot of people claim faith but they cannot offer quality gifts to God, their faith is dead without the work of giving. When you give you will receive abundance in return. Luke 6:38 declares; "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again". In our text, God told Abraham to offer up Isaac. Unknown to him that it was a test, he obeyed. What are the odds and what are your excuses from giving to God? There were many odds that could have hindered Abraham: he had very long delay before having Isaac; he was too old with his wife to have another child; his wife could have opposed the action; Isaac could have refused to be offered; he had the stress of traveling three days to the destination of the sacrifice etc. but none of these could hinder Abraham from doing what God required. What are the considerations that make it difficult for you to give sacrificially to God? Reconsider now and begin to offer quality gifts to Him.

PRAYER
• Father, I receive the grace to give sacrificially to the glory of Your Name.

• I come against the spirit of greed and covetousness against my giving attitude.

• Lord, help me to appreciate the privilege of the opportunity of honoring You with my offerings.

Today and always are declared days of open rewards loaded with plenty of blessings. Heavens will surprise you with good news that will make all your mockers run into hiding. Your prayers will not lack proofs. I see you walking in total liberty. Have a Stress-free day ahead in Jesus Mighty Name . Good Morning from SERVANT OF CHRIST INT'l MINISTRIES aka home of excellence.

Beloved, God’s presence in your life will unlock the doors of riches and abundance to you; God’s presence will cause your results to exceed your efforts; God’s presence will cause the opportunities you are yet to chase after to chase after you; God’s presence will cause the banks of your life to overflow with His goodness and mercies; the hand of God upon you will cause your business, career, ministry, finances, etc to overflow with ‘bread’.
Instead of chasing after ‘bread’, chase after the anointing. The anointing has what it takes to bring bread your way. Chase after God; seek to go deeper in love with Him; take your walk with God more seriously than you ever have; fill yourself with God’s word; spend time in prayers, communing with your Father in heaven. In all your getting, get the anointing of God upon your life. Sometimes, you may not be able to think it out, but the anointing will show you how. Lean on God’s power in your life, and He will cause the ‘bread’ of this world to locate you with ease. I declare, chase after God and" bread" will chase after you in Jesus name. Good morning from Servant of Christ int'l ministries aka home of excellence, beloved of the unchangeable God, Everyday is a plus.
