The zeal for good worksThe dictionary describes zeal as eagerness to do something,

a zealot is a person who shows zeal in excess.

Jesus came to this world to do the work of God (His Father), and to encourage others to engage in doing the things

God wants them to do. God wants us to serve him with eagerness and enthusiasm not with

cold and reluctant attitudes.

The greatest good that you can do for yourself is to give your life to God through faith in Christ Jesus

‘The Good News of Salvation’This is our theme for the month of February.

By studying about the joys and benefits of His salvation will allow us to appreciate our Lord better in 2009

The Church Needs You!

Decision determines destinyTexT:‘Let there be no strife between you and me ---for we are kinsmen’ (Genesis 13:8)

ScripTure readingGenesis 13:1-18

Genesis 13:7 says ‘And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle. The preceding verse gives the background of the conflicts. “And the land was not able to bear them for their substance was great”. Often, our prosperity is the very source of our trouble.

Abram was a person of peace and wanted things to go smoothly especially since he and lot were family. Abram was generous to lot. He offered Lot his choice of land ‘whatever you think is right’ was his proposition to his nephew.

But Lot interpreted Abram’s meekness as weakness as most people do this days. . Lot looked at life with a spirit of worldliness and a desire to advance materially. He represents those who believe that material possession brings true happiness.

What Lot should have done was to have given older man the privilege of first choice. He saw a chance of get rich quick,he grabbed the opportunity and paid the price later.Be careful what decision you make in life and do not allow material gains to control your decision this year.

Abram and Lot represent two different approaches to life. Abram was the kind of man who if his business interfered with his religion,gave up his business. Lot was the kind of man who,if his business interfered with his religion, gave up his religion.Which kind are you ? Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in decision making this year.
