Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a Bible believing church near you.

GOOD WORKS! – PART 5- CONCLUSION!.. (ANOINTING SERVICE)

 

The concluding sermon in our series for the month of April, “Unhindered”, centered on purpose. God’s purpose in creation is for good works. As Genesis 1:31 declares, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day”. We see the refrain, “and God saw that it was good” all through Genesis chapter 1.  And when Adam’s sin brought a separation, God still had a good work of redemption in that He gave His only begotten son, Jesus to die for our sin (John 3:16). Apart from the redemptive purpose, God empowered Jesus for good works as seen in Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”

We are created in the image of God, and not only are we expected to model Him and His Christ in good works, we are actually designed to do so. Ephesians 2:10 puts it this way – “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”. Most times we come to God in prayer, with selfish needs and desires. While this is not wrong, God desires that we meet the needs of others, put a smile on peoples’ face, and make a difference in our world. We don’t do this to boast, but as a mark of worship to God and to point others to Him.

In Matthew 5:16, Jesus gives a clear and compelling mandate: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” This statement sits at the heart of kingdom living. It reveals that the Christian life is not meant to be hidden, private, or inactive. Instead, it is meant to be visible, impactful, and transformative. Our lives are designed to put God on display through the way we live and the works we do. From the beginning of Scripture to the end, God has always been interested in a people whose lives reflect His nature through good works.

May is the fifth month, and five is the number of grace. There is nothing that can hinder the purpose of God for our lives as the enabling grace is made available. Our five-part series for the month, “Good works”, is a call to look beyond our needs and do good works. Some may be big, others small; some may be in secret, others in the open. Whichever case applies, let us be intentional about carrying out the commandment of Christ to shine our light in this dark world, and by so doing point others to God. Join us this Sunday, on-line or in person, as we explore the theme and conclude the series with anointing service.

WORD DIARY: THURSDAY MAY 28, 2026

 

#Disconnect bad characters!..

Prov. 25:1-3 These are more proverbs of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah: It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

#Activate search engines!

Prov. 25:4-5 Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; remove wicked officials from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.

#Disconnect bad characters!

Prov. 25:6-7 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence, and do not claim a place among his great men; it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,” than for him to humiliate you before his nobles. What you have seen with your eyes

#Connect with humility!

Prov. 25:8-10 Do not bring hastily to court, for what will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame? If you take your neighbor to court, do not betray another’s confidence,  or the one who hears it may shame you and the charge against you will stand.

Let us pray: Father God, do not allow us to be put to shame in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather search the mind of God?

#Be truthful!

Prov. 24:29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.”

#Be merciful!

Prov. 24:30-31 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.

#Be productive!

Prov. 24:32-34 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:  A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

#Beware of destruction!

Prov. 24:23-25 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good:  Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.

#Beware of corruption!

Prov. 24: 26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

#Desire wisdom as honey!

Prov. 24:15-16 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place; for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

#Desire victory in righteousness!

Prov. 24:17-18 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

#Beware of gloating!

Prov. 24:19-20 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

Prov. 24:10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!

#Desire spiritual strength!

Prov. 24:11-12 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a Bible believing church near you.

GOOD WORKS! – PART 3- WHO AM I?..

 

The concluding sermon in our series for the month of April, “Unhindered”, centered on purpose. God’s purpose in creation is for good works. As Genesis 1:31 declares, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day”. We see the refrain, “and God saw that it was good” all through Genesis chapter 1.  And when Adam’s sin brought a separation, God still had a good work of redemption in that He gave His only begotten son, Jesus to die for our sin (John 3:16). Apart from the redemptive purpose, God empowered Jesus for good works as seen in Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”

We are created in the image of God, and not only are we expected to model Him and His Christ in good works, we are actually designed to do so. Ephesians 2:10 puts it this way – “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”. Most times we come to God in prayer, with selfish needs and desires. While this is not wrong, God desires that we meet the needs of others, put a smile on peoples’ face, and make a difference in our world. We don’t do this to boast, but as a mark of worship to God and to point others to Him.

In Matthew 5:16, Jesus gives a clear and compelling mandate: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” This statement sits at the heart of kingdom living. It reveals that the Christian life is not meant to be hidden, private, or inactive. Instead, it is meant to be visible, impactful, and transformative. Our lives are designed to put God on display through the way we live and the works we do. From the beginning of Scripture to the end, God has always been interested in a people whose lives reflect His nature through good works.

May is the fifth month, and five is the number of grace. There is nothing that can hinder the purpose of God for our lives as the enabling grace is made available. Our five-part series for the month, “Good works”, is a call to look beyond our needs and do good works. Some may be big, others small; some may be in secret, others in the open. Whichever case applies, let us be intentional about carrying out the commandment of Christ to shine our light in this dark world, and by so doing point others to God. Join us this and every Sunday, on-line or in person, as we explore the theme.
