Walk worthy of the Lord.

Colossians 1:10-12 NKJV

that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing  Him,  being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

Shalom! It's 3rd day of 2013. It's Tenacious Thursday! How's your 3rd day of 2013 is? Are tenaciously walking worthy of the Lord in this day 3? Let's pray. Abba Father as we partake of Your word this day, as we walk on Your promises today, Holy Spirit help us to walk, live and serve according to the Lord will and purposes. Help us to live a life worthy of His calling. In Jesus name we pray.

Friends, it is a crucial and important thing that we constantly evaluate our walk with God. It's a vital part of a Christians lives. That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing  Him,  being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power. The reason I say this because when we walk worthy of the Lord, bearing His cross and live according to HIS ways in fully pleasing Him, well then we will be fruitful in every good works that we involved in, either in ministry, work, or studies. Not just being fruitful, but also increase in the knowledge of God as well as in every area of our lives. Walk worthy of the Lord. Those who are desiring to serve the Lord, having the desire is JUST NOT ENOUGH. You must have the mentality of a warrior as well. Because ministry is a battlefield and we are constantly waging war against the devil. If we are serving the Lord and yet not being fruitful and there's no increase, well we got to check ourselves. You will be fruitful, you will increase and be strengthened according to His glorious power to face all kinds of situation and the key here is to GIVE THANKS no matter what you go through.

We are qualified to be the partakers of God's inheritance. The Hebrew word for 'INHERITANCE' is from the word "nahala" from the root word "nahal" which means to inherit or possess and the other meaning is promises or gift. Very clearly we can see here, now this is what the Lord showed and taught me. We are qualified to be the partake of His inheritance it means, the Lord has given us the land, therefore go and inherit the land, go and possess the land and inherit the promises of God. As we walk this year, let us inherit or possess this promised land and live and walk in the promises of God concerning you and me! Now what are the inheritance of the saints of the light?

1. We are heirs of eternal life. Titus 3:7
2. We are heirs of salvation. Hebrews 1:14
3. We are heirs of the promises made to Abraham. Galatians 3:29
4. We are heirs of his promises and glory. Romans 8:17
5. We are heirs of righteousness. Hebrews 11:7
6. We are heirs of an immortal and perfected body. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54

Now knowing that we have the promises of God, let us go and possess it and live accordingly. Let this day be the day of the Lord. Gbu!
