Ponder


 

LET US PONDER

Many of us party hard, study hard, and do lots of things to build our legacies, histories, memories and what we would make reference to in future among our children, subordinates, peers and biographers. But what history are we writing to tell Jesus on our judgment day. You may tell your son, ‘Do you think you can smoke and I will not know because you licked candy sweets afterwards? I know all those tricks!’ or would a woman tell her students, ‘Do you think you can write answers on your thigh, and use them in the exam hall without my knowing? I know all those tricks!’ What about when old men gather among themselves for some festivity? Do they brag about their yester years when they could gulp spirits  and beer in great quantity, or eat as many plates as were offered them, or how women they took back home after every party? What about when elderly women converge together? Do they talk about how they kept up with every fashion trend in their younger days, or the number of men whose money they took in scam, or how they ‘jokingly’ spread false rumours and gossips about people they did not like?

What are we going to look back and say, either now or before your Judge and Saviour, Jesus Christ? What you are doing, saying or thinking about now may be fun and seemingly harmless, you may think that it is your time, or it goes with the age and stage, but seriously you can choose what kind of memories you want to savour and share in your future.

WHAT DO YOU REASON ABOUT THIS?

Thank God For The End Of Our mid-Year Crossover Prayers For 2025

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day, as we continue this second half of this year. I thank You for our  being able to see and to hear this morning.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...
