 IN 1ST SAMEUL 15:22 IT SAYS, AND SAMUEL SAID,HATH THE LORD AS GREAT DELIGHT IN BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES,AS IN OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? BEHOLD ,TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE ,AND TO HEARKEN THAN THE FAT OF RAMS.  THE LORD WILL SIT US DOWN WHEN WE ARE ARE DOING DESTRUCTIVE THINGS TO OTHERS AND OURSELVES. SOMETIMES THE FLESH CRAVES FOR THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT CAN CAUSE ADDICTIONS. WHETHER IT BE SEXUAL PRIMISCUITY, DRUGS ,ALCOHOL ,FORNICATION,ADULTERY, SODOMY , IDOLATRY OR ABORTION. I HAVE WITNESSED THE LORD CORRECTING MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH HIS ROD. WE DO NOT BELONG TO OURSELVES AND JESUS SAID TO NOT BE LIKE ESAU WHO SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT FOR POTTAGE. HEBREWS 12:16. IF JESUS DID NOT CORRECT HIS CHILDREN WHEN WE ARE DOING WRONG, EVERYONE WOULD PERISH. I SERVE A MECIFUL GOD AND A JUST GOD, HE IS LORD AND SAVIOR OF US ALL. JESUS SPOKE TO ME IN MY SLEEP AND SAID, HE WAS COMING FOR ALL OF THE ABOMINATIONS AND THEY WERE DESCENDING AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED WITH BIG RED X'S ON TH

  JOB 19:25 FOR I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH,AND THAT HE SHALL STAND AT THE LATTER DAY UPON THE EARTH. CAN YOU IMAGINE LOSING ALL THAT JOB LOST AND GAINING WHAT THE DEVIL STOLE TO BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU DOUBLE. SOMETIMES I FEEL DRAINED FROM THE TEST OF FAITH THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS PUTTING ME THROUGH. I AM CONFIDENT IN KNOWING THAT WHEN I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE, IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL IN THE END. WHENEVER I FEEL DISCOURAGED, I HEAR A SMALL VOICE THAT SAYS TRUST ME.SURRENDER ALL TO ME. WHEN I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROSPER; I MUST REMIND MYSELF  TO  KEEP SEEKING THE LORD AND TO BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME. THE LORD TOLD ME THAT HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME. I HEARD THIS AUDIBLY WHEN THE DEVIL WHISPERED ONE OF HIS LIES. WHENEVER WE TRY TO QUESTION OUR ABILITY OF WHO IS LISTENING AND HEARING AND APPLYING THE TEACHINGS IN THEIR LIVES THAT US DESCIPLE TEACH. SOMETIMES I ASK MYSELF IS ANYONE REALLY LISTENING OR ARE THEY JUST SAVING PINS. I KN

 THE LORD IS AT THE DOOR. MAY YOUR TEMPLE BE CLEANSED AND FULL OF THE GLORY OF GOD. MAY HIS BEAUTY AND RADIANCE SHINE UPON YOU. I CANNOT PREDICT THE TIME NOR THE HOUR BUT I KNOW THAT WE ALL NEED TO BE PREPARED AND PRAYED UP FOR THE RETURN OF CHRIST. JESUS SAID , OCCUPY UNTIL HE COMES LUKE 19:13 .  11  And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12  He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

  The book of Titus was written by the Apostle Paul to Titus, his true son in the faith. He writes to give instruction and encouragement to Titus who had been left in charge on the island of Crete. Paul’s main objective is to encourage Titus and give instruction about goodly living. Titus 1 - Instructions About Elders Titus 1 opens with Paul’s instructions to Titus concerning his mission in Crete. Titus was to appoint elders in each town to serve the churches, so he gives instructions about elders and the qualifications for their appointment. He reminds them that their behavior and households must be above reproach and above all they must hold firmly to the trustworthy message they’ve been taught. Paul then expresses concern at the reports that some were teaching things that ought not to be taught, causing confusion and trouble. Paul gives Titus instructions to rebuke them sharply and to pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the people who reject the truth. Titus 2 - Sound Doctrine an

 HE CAME NOT TO CONDEMN THE WORLD THAT THE WORLD MAY BE SAVED THROUGH HIS SON JESUS. JOHN 3:17 .THE LORD IS OUR BLESSED HOPE TITUS 2:13.     18  For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest   19  and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.   20  For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.”   21  Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”   22  But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,   23  and to the assembly [ a ]  of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,   24  and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. A Ki

  12  Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,   13  and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.   14  Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.   15  See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;   16  that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.   17  For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

  Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12  Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,   2  looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Do Not Grow Weary 3  Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.   4  In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.   5  And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,      nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,      and chastises every son whom he receives.” 7  It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is t
