*The Chronic Knocker*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."* (Ephesians 4:29 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
NOTHING hurts a firm more than to have in its employ men holding important positions who are chronic knockers, who are always
finding fault with the business, with the management, with the material they use. Men of this type should be eliminated.
One man of that kind in a church will wreck it. One man of that type in a crew of men in the lumber camp will cause the entire organization to disintegrate.
Chronic knockers will spoil an organization and wreck its prospects. Men who talk too much and talk unwisely are a detriment to any organization. Never knock your firm. Never knock the goods you are selling, because you are selling yourself in every deal.
The man who knocks the firm for which he works, knocks himself because he is there. If he is not satisfied with it, he should get
out and go somewhere else. We have no right to stir up strife and bitterness while we are drawing a salary from a firm.
We have come to an unhappy place. We have been taught politically to hate the
people who have been successful in life, that if a man has gained a position of affluence, he must
be bad. That is wrong. Men like Henry Ford have climbed to the
place they occupy by sheer efficiency and downright honesty. Class hatred is an unfortunate thing. It does not belong in a democracy. It does not belong anywhere.
Why should I hate the man who is smarter than I am, and who has achieved more than I have? I should honor him and thank God that
there are men of that kind. Class hatred robs a nation of its efficiency; it robs men of the pleasure and joy of fellowshipping and working with each other.
There should be a notice put up in every factory and store and shop saying, "No knockers are needed. We need boosters. We need helpers. We need men who encourage, not men who discourage."
_MEDITATION:_
*"Make up your mind that whatever you say will be constructive. Just knocking for the sake of knocking is ignorance gone on a rampage."*

*Random Thoughts & Truths*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."*
_Bible Insight:_
The material prosperity of the righteous man who's passionate about the gospel upsets satan because it will fund the cause of Christ on the earth. While not all believers will be materially wealthy, there will be those privileged to have these world's riches, not because they have some special faith or pray more than others. Some aren't even rich at the moment but will come into opportunities in the nearest future that will enable them sponsor God's mission on the earth. Such must discern wealth rightly, else they'll live like the rich in the world. For us, it is not first about eating and drinking and merrying and buying up the earth; it's about funding gospel missions. Other things are secondary!
There are preachers who speak against long sermons because they don't really have much to say. After some one or two verses, stories, iriri aiye, testimonies and some prophetic prayers for the next level, they have to quickly leave the stage. It's the reason you listen to such men for years and the only thing you can remember is 'God will do your own too', or 'Your story is about to change'. And indeed, your story must change: Look for a bible studying and ministry equipping church! Your life must change!
Let me say this. Truth is, it is not every good deed that will be rewarded in this life. In fact, people can repay you evil for good. Not every good person will be applauded or recognised. Some will be scorned and mocked for their righteous ways. Ultimately, we are to do good because it's just right to do so! Those who do good so they can be rewarded by men eventually become weary of doing good when people don't value them. The main reward for doing good in this life is the positive impact and effect it has on others and the glory it brings to God. Let that satisfy you.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The gospel is the only news you can't just spread without the power of the Spirit of God. You can know all the facts yet be unable to convince a single soul. The Apostles had all the facts but Jesus asked them to wait to be endued with power. It is the Spirit that empowers to witness! Don't forget this."*

*Access To The Presence Of God*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them."* (Job 1:6 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
It's not just you that has access to the presence of God. The devil comes there too. Shocked? But both of you have different agendas,
For you, you come to obtain grace and mercy for your time of need
For the devil, he comes to the throne room to accuse you.
And both of you will come with the same template - The Word of God.
You see God - the Judge - does nothing outside the Word. The Word is the referral point and basis for your argument and counter argument. The Word will justify you, or condemn you.
So the devil knows the Word
And you must know the Word too.
Don't just know it, believe, declare it and do it. Thats how you win the battle.
The devil will twist the Word to suit his accusation of you. And will provoke you. He will belittle you. He will gnaw at your ignorance. He will hit at your unbelief. He will insist that you don't deserve the blessing, the miracle.
So what's your point of argument?
Leave the entitlement mentality. It doesn't work that way in the court of heaven. You must come with Words. Words that you have believed. Words that show you understand what Christ has perfected for you. You will prove it in your lifestyle. And actions. You will bring evidence that God has done it before. And you will argue it.
You will insist on it. You will tell your advocate Jesus to go ballistic on the devil and leave no grounds uncovered.
But it starts with the Word. The word in your heart. The word in your head. The word in your acts. And the word in your mouth.

*FINDING PURPOSE IN THE BODY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:"* (1 Corinthians 1:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
No calling of God upon a man is entirely private or unique or special. No gift of God in the life of a man is entirely for the individual benefit of the bearer of the gift. Paul was called an Apostle and brother Sosthenes was a brother in the Lord, both for the general good of the body of Christ.
*"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's"* (1 Corinthians 1:1-2 (KJV))
There is something in the Call of God upon your life for both your immediate circle and the rest of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is designed to be inter-connected and inter-dependent. Don't ever think you can stand alone. Paul didn't shy away from mentioning Brother Sosthenes. Paul also wasn't too special in his own eyes that he tried to do God's work alone! Your part, whether major or minor, whether big or small, is essential to the grand design and purpose of God.
No big man of God ever started big. No big business person started big. There is always a relatively small or smaller beginning at some point in the story line. Hold dear that gift God has deposited in you. Some persons may be more pronounced than others, but if you are a brother Sosthenes rejoice in your ability and be content in your part. Just be faithful at the place of your calling!
The word of God has a specific and a generic application in your life. The Book is written specially to you as it was written for the Corinthian believer in the time of Paul-- "called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's"
The most important thing is this, Is Jesus truly your Lord!? He is our Lord, but is He YOUR Lord? Is He MY Lord? Not in word only, but indeed! Once we live in the reality of JESUS LORDSHIP, then we truly begin to find meaning in the Body!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Whatever your story, find purpose in the body of Christ. Don't be a lone ranger. Identify with the body. You are not that special. You are not that ordinary too. You belong to the body of Christ. Find meaning in Christ, who is the head of the Body."*

*A Title-Crazy Generation*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother"* (1 Corinthians 1:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Welcome to our world, where titles are very precious. Everyone wants to get one. Names appear naked and common without one. None is really ready to suffer such shame. Except of course, where circumstances makes it absolutely difficult. Deep down, no one wants a name with no titles.
Paul had simply called himself by his name, before trying to give a humble but indeed befitting description of himself. He had to explain how he became an Apostle. He was called by Jesus Christ under the will of God. If anyone in this world, ever had a calling, Paul definitely had one. In fact, his calling was more than dramatic. His calling left him blind for three days, without food. Even if he wanted to, he would never forget how he was called in a hurry! Such a calling! Oh, that the persecutors of the faith in our days be visited by such forceful calling!
Paul would never have done justice to any brief introduction of himself, if he doesn't describe himself as an Apostle. For him, it was not a job he had desired and worked towards. Rather, his apostleship is one he considers himself dead, if he fails to fulfill it or work towards it.
_*"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"*_ (1 Corinthians 9:16 (KJV))
Before you allow any title decorate your name, ask yourself if you are really living worthy of it. It is not enough to have powerful titles to your name, whether before or after. But the question is, do you live up to such titles?
_MEDITATION:_
*"Whatever title you have or hope to have, don't find fulfilment in it/them, if you are not living the part. It is better to live the life without the title, than to have the title without the life"*
