NUGGETS OF WISDOM.
TOPIC: EVALUATE YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
The Oxford dictionary explained 'Evaluation' as this "act of ascertaining or fixing the value or worth of, an appraisal of the value of something.
Brethren, the human raise to heaven is like a business man in a business of buying and selling, whose soul aim is to make profit, hence, he will sometimes evaluate his business strategies to see if it's really taking him to his desired destination or not, so he can continue with it or to change to a new format.
The soul desire of any believer in God is to make heaven at last after his/her departure from this world 🌎. It's a known fact that there are rules that must be followed. God in his business of making sure Men are saved, have set out conditions that we must observe and keep as long as we still leave in this sinful world 🌎.
The scripture that God has giving to us has every information that we need to keep in faith with our God, it helps us evaluate our lives whether we're still in the right direction or not.
In the bible 📚 of "La 3:40, Hag 1:7, 2ndCor 13:5, all say we should examine our ways, the reason is for Us not to fall, thinking that we're standing.
Salvation is very important, that's our goal, hence it is important for us to always evaluate our selves so we don't miss it. We leave in a sinful world that can derail you when you least expect, that's why Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinth 11:28-30 said; But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
God can still be invited to do the examination for you if you ask Him.
David, in Psalms 139:23-24 ask God to do the examination for him and Job also made the same plea to God in Job 31:5-6.
My brethren, what you have to give up for God and to your salvation, can't be compared with the glory that await you. Most at times the issues of life becomes responsible for our inconsistency to the demand of God for our salvation, yet what we suffer now cannot be compared to the glory that He will reveal to us later, so never consider those strange fiery trials that is trying you, but, rather rejoice because you are a partaker in the suffering of Christ; that when His glory is revealed, you will also be glad and exceedingly joyful.
