Thoroughly Good



You are nowhere near good until you are being described as "thoroughly good."

Cornelius of Caesarea is one man to look up to. He was a man of good principle. He was virtuous. He brisked with invigorating personality. He was wealthy man (riches didn't distract him) who had servants and devout soldiers at his beck and call. Above all, He was brought to God's altar by his deeds.

The man named Cornelius was different from the other Jews.

Interestingly, God put Peter in his life to guide him in the path of righteousness, tutor him on more Biblical insights and in turn be a blessing and a helper to Peter's ministry.

Acts 10:1-3 "There was a man named Cornelius who lived in Caesarea, captain of the Italian Guard stationed there. He was a thoroughly good man. He had led everyone in his house to live worshipfully before God, was always helping people in need, and had the habit of prayer. One day about three o'clock in the afternoon he had a vision. An angel of God, as real as his next-door neighbour, came in and said, "Cornelius."

How good are you? Are you a complete package just like Cornelius? Here we go! We have a role model who had it all.

God is searching painstakingly for thoroughly good people to reveal his word to. It may be you He's been bending over backward to reach out to.

Think about it. Are you thoroughly good?

Have a Good day.

    I am hoping to be like Cornelius. Unfortunately my scorecard seems to be silent than openly lauded.

PLEASE

Image
The word "please" is a subtle cry for mercy. It expresses one's vulnerability. The phrase 'please' has reinstated businesses, work, cordial and intimate relationships. In the same vain, it has clouded the thinking abilities of individuals, thus handicapping them. These "handicap" could entail compromising to illegitimate business deal, subscribing to peer pressure, or in serious occasion, giving up one's moral values. Some have contacted venereal diseases because of please . It is true that vulnerability is a bridge to connection. But never forget that vulnerability is one of the ways. There are others means of attaining it. Connection in this context means legitimate links to self purpose. Please can be used in harmless or harmful contexts. Stay woke! Ensure you're using the term "please" to achieve a purpose, not to attack a prey. If the eventual result of the use of your "please'' doesn't align with godly re...

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn...
