While in the Press We Should Always Do Our Best, Nothing Less

As humans we’re going to encounter conflicts, hardships, pains and sufferings in one situation or another. Sometimes in ways brought on by us, and we all know how the story goes. One miss placed word or statement, maybe a gesture or even the way of your body language. In these times, people are so sensitive over the smallest of matters, in some cases they are waiting for you to make mistakes so that they can capitalize on them, as a way to point their finger at your inadequacy, or even your personality so they can spread negative accusations concerning you and your life. Situations and events of this kind have often caused problems and brought misery to family, friends, jobs and relations, not to mention you and others personal lives. When your are going through pressure or stress or painful problems in your life, you should look at where that situation stems from. In other words, get to the root of it. In the life of a Saint or Child of Jesus Christ, we are not to let the cares and the emotional pit falls of highs an lows in our lives dictate our sense of existence or our Christ walk. Even every human being in this world shouldn’t allow pressure, stress and emotional tides of highs and lows to dictate existence.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 16:33

As true Christians, you can’t allow the stress and pressures of this world to control you or your walk. Philippians 4:6 tells every Child of Jesus Christ to be cautious about things and go to Jesus to get the answer. As we are children of the light, we need to walk like the light we represent and not talk or speak about what the light is doing.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Ephesians 5:6-8

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

John 15:1-22

Let all who read get a clear understanding of what Jesus is asking of us to do. Take care, and it is so!
