Our commendation

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“I am not conscious of anything against myself, and I feel blameless; but I am not vindicated and acquitted before God on that account. It is the Lord [Himself] Who examines and judges me. So do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God.” 1 Corinthians 4v4-5  (AMP)

Our God is the Almighty. He knows all things, and sees all things. Proverbs 15v3 (KJV) says “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Are you walking in the paths of righteousness. Keep on. God sees you, and there is a reward. Don’t be discouraged and don’t be dismayed. Do you on the other hand insist on following your own way, without the fear of the Lord; without seeking His face and his ways? He sees you too. 2 Corinthians 5v10 (AMP) says “For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing].” Beloved, God is the rewarder. Romans 14v12-13 (AMP) says “And so each of us shall give an account of Himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God. Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavor never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”

Supplementary Text

“Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you.” Matthew 7v1-2 (AMP)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for You are our God. We thank You for Your Word. Father, we know that it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he who You commend. Father, we pray for the grace to seek, know and do all of Your will, all of the time in Jesus name, amen.
