Welcome To Month FEBRUARY: Month Of ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE – “The Vitality of The WORK of FAITH, The PATIENCE of HOPE And The LABOUR of LOVE”
Herein Are Few Tips To Take Along And Rejuvenate This Month!
Be EMBOLDENED to DO something different this month from the Usual. Break through that FEAR of boredom and set patterns and methods. For God is not of METHODS but of PRINCIPLES. Therefore,
- Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date than the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kinds of friends and interests.
- As a man, come down from your high horse position and COOK for your SPOUSE and FAMILY. Give the spouse, children and household a REASON to believe you are humane and have humanity in you to blend through life. Give them a sense of HUMILITY that EXALTS. I promise you, your spouse, children, and family will smile through that day with great loveliness and beauty.
- Break through the usual, refresh your laugh, close the church for a week and take members for a picnic and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Have humour and laughter. Take away pressure, and take time to rest, and have leisure at least. Life is WORTH living not surviving. Just have Life for once.
- Stop nursing enemies and unforgiving attitudes, and rather FEED your enemy, give them a DRINK, for when a man’s way PLEASE the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. And you PLEASE the Lord God by FAITH – that is, ACTING on His WORD. Do you BELIEVE it, and can you DO it?
- Take someone NEW to EATERY and to the GROCERIES place for shopping and PAY the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and such like. Look through your neighbourhood, there’s someone who deserves LOVE and CARE.
- Take Your Spouse out to a refreshing conference or seminar to boost, rejuvenate and synergise your marriage. Stop living in the old, stagnant place. It’s time to innovate, refresh, recreate, and become a better version of yourself, breaking free from the toxic boredom of dissatisfaction and stagnation. Give your RELATIONSHIP a new and refreshing BREATH of life.
- Live your life OUTSIDE the BOX this month. Make peace and apologise to those who hurt you, even if they were wrong, and give God something to work with.
- Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag, react, or blame, but instead take RESPONSIBILITY for once, at least this month. It’s time to speak kindly and wholesomely to everyone around you, again and again.
- DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT this month by giving a good portion of your time – whether an hour, a day, or even a couple of days – to lend a helping hand to someone in need through your skill, trade, or mentoring, without expecting payment or reward, especially to those who are less fortunate, unskilled, or limited by certain factors.
- You are a child of the NEW TESTAMENT – live your life beyond borders! Visit your Unchurched friends and share LOVE, HOPE, and FAITH with them. For once, let your heavenly-mindedness manifest in earthly goodness.
Do all things in grace, and surely you will be blessed indeed.
BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL.
BE AN AMBASSADOR OF FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship privately” Mark 6:30-32.
