Building

2 Corinthians 5:17

The Master Builder that ever lived is Jesus Christ. He is the Cornerstone of any building. 2 Corinthians 5:17. God makes us into new creations, like Him, we must never write anyone off. We need to start building and investing into people's lives, and we will never be disappointed. Let us become builders for Christ.

The measuring rod

Revelation 11:1

Revelation 11:1. God's Word is our measuring rod. We have got to start to count the cost and put everything we do in context with God's Word and ask God what He would do in each situation. This applies to a business relationship or a personal relationship that could leads to marriage.

The spoken word

Isaiah 55:11, John 1:1

Isaiah 55:11. Are you using what God has given you? The spoken Word of the Lord will not return void. John 1:1. The Word is Jesus Christ. There is power in the spoken word. Speak it out over your situation by faith. The spoken word of God has power.

Joy

Nehemiah 8:10, John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:7

Nehemiah 8:10 says that the joy of the Lord is my strength. John 10:10. Jesus came to give us abundant life. Some of us have lost the joy of the Lord. 1 Peter 5:7. We need to cast our cares upon the Lord because He cares about us. We mustn't lose our first love.

My food

John 4:34

John 4:34. Jesus said that His food was to do the will of his Father. Uncle Angus encourages to live our dream. Pursue the thing you love the most. It's not about making money. We need to find what God wants us to do that brings us joy. Whatever you do, be the best at what you do. Our lives are but a vapour.

No royal road

Matthew 26:40

There is no royal road, or easy way when it comes to walking this road with the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 26:40. We need to spend time with Him in order to be strengthened. Time in prayer and worship and in the presence of God. Jesus promised that He would walk with us on the road to Heaven.

Expectation

Psalm 62:5

Psalm 62:5. Who are you expecting to show you the way in life? We need to get our direction from God alone. God will not fail us when we go to Him. Sometimes we don't hear Him because we are doing all the talking and not really listening. We need to go and find a quiet place, open our hearts and minds to Christ and listen.

Just receive

Isaiah 55:1, Matthew 7:7

Isaiah 55:1. Matthew 7:7. In the Kingdom of God, we need to learn to humble ourselves and accept the free gifts God offers us. We mustn't allow pride to prevent us from asking and receiving from God. Work hard, but when someone wants to give you a gift, you can receive it. Like little children would, we can just say thank you.

Healing

Hebrews 13:8, Hebrews 11:6

Do you believe in miracles? Hebrews 13:8. Jesus is the Miracle Worker and He hasn't changed, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Uncle Angus has seen countless miracles with his own eyes. Hebrews 11:6. We need to pray prayers of faith, believing.

Shine

Isaiah 60:1–3

Isaiah 60:1-3. It's time for us to wake, stop sleeping and shine for the Lord. In the dark times we are living in, the light will shine even brighter. We reflect the glory of our Lord. Our purpose in life is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. You don't have to be a preacher to shine for Jesus, you can shine wherever you are.

Fasting

Galatians 2:20, Isaiah 58:6–7, Isaiah 58:10–11

According to the Word of God, we need to fast. It's not about losing weight, that is the wrong reason. It is about putting your flesh down into submission to the Spirit of God. Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-11. God wants us to take care of the hungry and the needy, the poor. Especially those who can't pay you back. Fasting is good for us. Galatians 2:20.

Hot nor cold

Revelation 3:15–16, Matthew 26:75, Mark 16:7

Revelation 3:15-16. God says that He would rather we were an unbeliever, than to be lukewarm. Jesus Christ went all the way, He was definitely not lukewarm. We need to call sin by what it is. We are ambassadors of Jesus Christ, if we don't speak up then who will? A man is not defeated by his opponents but by himself. Matthew 26:75. Mark 16:7.

The door

Revelation 3:20, Hebrews 13:5

The Lord stands at the door of our lives, our hearts, and knocks. Revelation 3:20. He is patient and persistent because He loves us, but He is a gentleman, He won't open it Himself, we need to open it and allow Him in so that He can sit with us, and dine with us. Hebrews 13:5. He said that He will be with us always.

Fellowship with God

Exodus 24:18

Exodus 24:18. Moses spent a lot of time in the presence of the Lord. You can't build fellowship with God in one day, it takes time, and needs to become a lifestyle. It is vital to build fellowship with God, by doing so God will build up our strength, give us inspiration and give us instruction. We will be able to think straight and make good decisions.

Focusing

Hebrews 12:1

What are you focusing on at the moment? Hebrews 12:1. Do you not really know where you are going and what you are doing? We need to be focused on the Lord. When swallows are flying North or South, they are so focused, and they know exactly where they are going. They even eat and sleep on the wing. We also need to remain focused on Jesus Christ.
