Topic: SCORE YOURSELF

Dearly beloved, knowing the truth holds the key for giving of good judgment in everything, but unfortunately, many Christians don’t know the truth. Many Christians also don’t know how to examine their faith (See 2 Corinthians 13:5), if some knows it they would have been able to judge themselves. Apostle Paul said, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” 1 Corinthians 11:31. Judging ourselves is something many Christians hate to do, they know if they do then they will score themselves, and scoring themselves is the main thing they hate in judging themselves.

People may judge us from our actions but we can judge our actions better because we know the motive behind our actions which all those who judge the things they see and hear do not and never know your motive which God and yourself knows which you may never tell anybody. The year 2018 is about to end, people are already talking and planning for 2019, making resolutions after another. But before 2019 comes, God wants you to score yourself, by first judging yourself from January 1st to this day on certain things such as:YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND HIS WORD. Did your relationship with God improve this year than others years? Fellowshipping with God and his Word is the weakest area in the lives of many Christians, they have no delight in doing it (See Jeremiah 6:10). Satan greatest war against Christians is to prevent them from having God’s knowledge even though the Bible is at their disposal. God said in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Many Christians dont know God because only through fellowship with Him in prayers and His Word we get to know Him better, His likes and hates.

YOUR CHARACTERS TOWARDS YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Did your characters glorified God’s name or bring His name and Church disparaging remarks (See Matthew 5:16)? Were your characters good and godly? Our characters are the most neglected part of our lives, working on them barely interests us. Many people hate to face circumstances that will reveal the darkness in their characters. God uses afflictions to discipline our filthy characters and except our characters are tried or tested we can’t be trusted. Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared, but only men of characters are trusted. If you don’t have good and godly character men can’t trust you neither will God trust you with His riches and glory, flocks or sheep.

YOUR SANCTIFICATION FROM THE WORLD

Did you stay away from sexual uncleanness and illicit sex? Did you sanctify yourself from artificial make-ups? Did you sanctify yourself from the wearing of fetish things on your hands, neck, body, and legs? Did you stay away from watching sexual videos and pictures? Did you stay away from ungodly people eating and drinking with them? Many Christians fear sanctification because they know the world hates those sanctified by God’s Word, whose life style is a conviction to them that they are living in darkness. It’s written, “For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.” 1 Thessalonians 4:7. And without sanctification from the world you can’t serve God better nor do His will. It is written, “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4.

YOUR PRAYER LIFE

How often did you pray? When last did you fast and pray for grace to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world? It’s written, “Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Praying without ceasing can never be done by uncrucified Christians and all those not born of the Spirit, it’s the act of being alive unto God in the Spirit. It’s not an Astral projection, it’s a product of how much or how far you have God’s Word in you or mediate on it. Many Christians really never have time for prayer, those who do barely pray for grace to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Score yourself.

YOUR DISCIPLINE

How discipline are you in the body, spirit and soul? What are your weapons of resistance to seduction and lustfulness? Another area many Christians are very poor and weak simply because of their ignorance of Satan and his demons. A son of God without discipline are like children toss to and fro, “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” Ephesians 4:14. And It’s written, “But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.” Hebrews 12:8

JUDGE AND SCORE YOURSELF
Dearly beloved, judge yourself and score yourself, when I was talking about money man-made tithe with some beloved, I asked them if out of 613 Levitical priesthood Laws, we keep 2, did we pass beautifully or fail woefully if God is to judge us by the works of the Law? They said we will fail woefully, I said it’s good we judge and score ourselves. You may score well in other areas of life in 2018, your scores in your relationship with God matters most. If many churches have tithe report card when they are not going to reward you inspite of keeping record of your payment, what then did you think of God report card concerning you who can reward you? You don’t need to show anybody your report card, God have seen it yet he wants you to bring it to him yourself.

If your score on your report card is good or bad, God is ever ready to change us, sustain us, teach us, chastise us, help us till we become more like him every day, till all the nations will see His glory reveal in us and worship Him. But never forget to repent from all your secret sins and ungodly deeds. How are you preparing for rapture, and did you live in continual expectance of it day by day? Prepare for the trumpet sound my beloved, and live a rapturable life. Jesus Christ told me, “My son, don’t tell people I am coming soon, tell them I am already here to collect my people.” And after saying that, I saw above the cloud Him and uncountable angels, He was watching the whole world and all the angels were looking at Him, for signal to descend and cloth the elected ones with the righteous robes. Get prepared, ten years can be 10 seconds in God’s eyes.

I pray you will not only see the end of the year but will see the glory of God and his eternal glorious home in the Name of Jesus Christ. Share with your friends. Shalom!
