Do What You Teach.
“Thou, therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou, not thyself? Thou that preaches a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Rom. 2:21. (KJV).
Do you teach people about Jesus?
What do you tell them?
Do you tell them about the miracles?
Maybe about the life of Jesus?
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38(KJV)
Do you tell them how HE lived a life without sin?
He is the only mediator between man and God.
Do you tell them about accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?
So that they can become a kingdom citizen.
Do you tell them how to live?
How to follow Jesus?
Are you following Jesus in all aspects of your life?
Can you live the way you tell other people to live?
Learn daily at His feet to properly mirror Him to others.
Application to the Christian life:
What is your personal life telling them?
Do you practice what you teach?
Let your life teach others about Christ.
Daily learn and do what you teach.

Zodiac Signs (Horoscope) is Not For You as a Child of God.
“And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.” (2 Kings 23:5) KJV
Some “Christians” still ask each other what their star sign is.
This is wrong of any true believer to ask.
Or worse still, to read up on or find out what their zodiac sign is?.
God clearly forbids his children to consult such mediums to discover their destiny or even navigate their daily lives.
Don’t look for your zodiac sign either online or in any printed material.
It is evil.
Definitely, as you can see from the above scripture, it’s not of God.
Astrology, horoscope, and psychics readings are all evil mediums that a child of God must not engage in.
“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
( Isaiah 47:13) KJV
These are the works of darkness that cannot save you.
God created you and designed you for a specific purpose, and becoming a born-again child of God gives you access through the Holy Spirit to be guided by God into your destiny.
“Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5(KJV)
Get to know your God-given destiny through His Word.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11) KJV
Stop looking for what will happen to your life through the “stars,”
God who created you in HIS image has the blueprint for your life.
Application for the Christian life:
God knows the future.
He reveals it through His Word.
You are destined to be Victorious
Have dominion in all your God-Given assignments.
Believe in the future based on the Word.

Remain with Jesus.
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”
John 15:4. (KJV).
Jesus invited you to be part of Him.
Is that not wonderful?
Would you and your friends be friends if you did not like one another?
You sometimes talk to your friends more than you talk to God.
Abiding in Christ means you consult Him on ALL.
You do respond to the invitation of your true friends.
Would Jesus invite you if He did not like you?
He First loved You.
All He expects of you is to remain faithful to Him.
Bear His fruit.
Are You Daily Abiding and Bearing Fruit?
Is He truly in ALL that You do?
Application to the Christian life:
Remain faithful to God
Bear fruit.
Is HE Your Everything?
Serve Him.

You are sent by God.
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. John 20:21(KJV).
In our early days, many wanted to become this or that.
Eventually, you have become somebody in life.
Whatever your choice is, trust you find it purposeful.
However, once you become a child of God.
HE made you His ambassador
Are You His ambassador?
Jesus sent you to teach all nations.
He also sent you to represent Him.
How are you representing Jesus?
The way you behave and the things you do.
All should be an example of Jesus.
Everything Jesus did, and everything Jesus said:
Was according to the will of His Father.
Jesus sent you to do the same.
Can you represent Jesus?
Are You Daily Representing Him?
Application to the Christian life:
Adjust your life to comply with that of Jesus.
Leave your own desires and follow Jesus.
Submit to God.

“Then the LORD called Samuel. “Here I am,” Samuel responded. He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am. You called me.”…“Go, lie down,” Eli told Samuel. “When he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD. I’m listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his room. The LORD came and stood there. He called as he had called the other times: “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak. I’m listening.” 1Samuel 3:4-5,9-10 (GW)
We are all familiar with the story of God calling out to Samuel.
However, we need to pay attention to these scriptures again today.
Notice the three times God initially called Samuel:
He kept going to Eli.
He only heard the voice.
Even though he was living in the temple, he did not know God’s voice.
“Samuel had no experience with the LORD because the Lord’s word had not yet been revealed to him.” 1 Samuel 3:7(GW)
Are you familiar with being in God’s environment?
Do You know Him as your Lord and Savior?
Finally, when he was guided on knowing that it was God calling:
Two things happened.
He stopped running to Eli.
He focused his attention on God.
It was then God came and stood by Him.
God called previously to get his attention.
Now when he recognized God’s voice and turned to Him
God Spoke.
Before now, God had been calling, but God did not speak.
You can hear God’s voice and if your focused attention is not on him.
You may still be running to Eli.
Are you hearing God’s voice, but your attention is still on a man?
For God to speak to You, He demands your complete attention.
From that encounter, Samuel learned not to let go of God.
God stood by him.
He stayed daily focused and waited on Him for His Word.
No wonder the testimonies:
“Samuel grew up. The LORD was with him and didn’t let any of his words go unfulfilled.” 1 Samuel 3:19(GW)
Everyone knew God was with Samuel.
There was no publicity stunt, no manipulations.
“All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew Samuel was the LORD’s appointed prophet.”1 Samuel 3:20(GW)
Daily Hearing from God, Walking, and Working with Him produces Results.
Is the Lord still standing by You?
Are You still abiding in His Presence?
