Issue # 31 - Are ‘U’ ready for this ?

Can you believe it, we are almost into another New Year? Ready or not it’s coming and it’s.. increasing in speed each hour. Hope you are still living with great expectations.

It’s another week and time for another letter. Hope you’re still with me on this journey, if you are just joining me welcome. Our series from A- Z takes us into the letter 'U' and all he wants to talk about is 'unity'. Boy oh boy how we do need this in our homes, workplaces, communities, governments, nations and the world.

Unity:
1.The state or quality of being one; singleness.
2.The state or quality of being in accord; harmony.

"Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved".
Mattie Stepanek

If this is our goal for mankind we must look where it all starts. The foundation of unity starts with God. God the Father and Son were united from the foundation of the world and you better believe they are still united up to this day.

So God does not want us just to unite for special events and meetings but it should be continuous. The key to being united as a people in God is first to unite with God.

In order to unite with God, you must walk with him. "Can two people walk together
without agreeing on the direction?" Amos 3:3 ( New Living Translation ) If you are walking with Him then you are traveling with Him. This means you are following Him, if you are following Him then what happens ? He must be leading you. God will always lead you to a place that promotes and results in unity.

Our unity with God and Jesus Christ is in jeopardy when we put up a resistance and rebel against the way they are walking. "Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me". Matthew 12:30 ( NLT ). When we decide to walk with God we must be in for the long haul, good, bad, sunshine rain, in plenty, and even in recession. If we believe that God has good intentions for us then we must trust all of His guidelines, even when it looks crazy, impossible, dark etc.

How much impact is there in walking(uniting) with God? Just because you choose to walk with God it can cause others to do the same. Why? Cause they see it being done by you. The decision you make, will have an influence on someone, be very careful of your next decision, it can cause someone to live or die.

How do you know when you are in unity with God?

1. Unity begins with Salvation- Romans 10:9
You must accept his representative Jesus Christ. When God dwells in you and you in Him then unity begins and you now have the opportunity to walk with God.

2. You must Love - I John 4:16
To walk (unite) and continue to walk with God love must be a part of your life. How’s your love life?

3. Pray- Matthew 6:6
It is your source of communication and contact with God. You cannot be in unity with someone and don’t spend time to speak with them. That’s a sign of division and broken down relationship. How’s your prayer life?

4. Walk in Truth - III John : 3,4
God is full of truth and he expects us to take on truth if you expect to walk and unite with Him. When you step out of truth God knows. Even though He may not say something all the time He is giving you the opportunity to get it right.

Anytime you see there is division, separation, confusion among a people then someone is out of unity with God. When we strive to do these things and the many others that are lined out in God’s word, then we will have an upright walk with God and see true unity. When you unite with God as an individual, then we can know unity as a people.

You must allow God to be in YOUR picture, before He can be in our picture.

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1 (KJV)

Issue # 30 ‘It’s ‘T’ time

Things, people and places do not successfully prove themselves until they go through a …

...test.

Well we might as well get straight to the bottom of things. It’s time for your 'test'. Thank God we are moving on in our series A-Z. we still have a few more yards to go but before you know it we’ll be at the end of the race.

Test:
1. A procedure that ascertains effectiveness, value, proper function, or other quality
2. A set of questions or exercises designed to determine knowledge or skill
3. A means by which individuals are compared and judged.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power”.
Abraham Lincoln

Have you noticed that you love to prove how smart or intelligent you are but don’t love taking the tests to prove it. There is a reason behind every test you take. Your degree of strength is determined by the test you go through.

Not because you fail a test means you are a failure. If you really evaluate it, it was revealed what you know and understand and what you don’t.-Your response? Work on developing you’re your weak points and polish up where you did well. Be consistent with this practice and there should be GREAT results.

Do you know what’s your best learning method? Are you a theory person or practical? I think this is where you give up at times because the way you was trying to learn hasn’t been encouraging. Well, let me say try another way.

The reality is that very few people achieve success on their first attempt. All of the inventors, scientists and revolutionaries who have made large and small contributions to the evolution of our world – more than likely didn’t succeed on their first attempt. Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and Beethoven are only a few of the countless, famous & successful people who experienced and overcame adversity, rejection, personal and financial limitations and many attempts at success.

Let me say to you that you are tested many times by God himself. If you believe He is fair and just you should celebrate when he gives one to you. Why? He knows that you can pass it. "No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it". 1 Corinthians 10:13 (The Message Bible)



As you know when you passed your tests in school it was time to move on to the next grade or level. God does not test you until he knows you are ready. His aim is to provide an opportunity for you to be promoted.

And so, if you are being tested right now go ahead take it and rejoice because your promotion isn’t far. Finally, remember with the test there will be no TESTimony. Let me say in advance enjoy your promotion.
