God doing good through you

by Irvine Syazyombo

The world in which we are has been misled by the devil. There is so much selfishness, hatred, gossiping and killings. Every time you watch television, you see scenes of death in various parts of the planet. Evil deeds have indeed escalated. The world has been overwhelmed by evil.

As for Christians , our duty is to do good to this world which is mourning with all sorts of evil. As Christians a reward awaits us for being good people(Galatians 6:9).For doing good we are going to reap.

You should also know that if you do good, it is God working in you. So if you want God to use you, do good (Phillipians 2:13).

I know it is the desire of every Christian to have God work through them. Just do good and God is going to be with you. God works in every good act you do.

Doing  good is what shows that you are indeed a child of God. When you love, live peacefully, kindly, humbly and joyfully with others, it shows that God is working in your life. That is what shows that the Holy Spirit is in you(Galatians 5 : 19-26).

It is not how loudly and vigorously we pray that matters. Our faith is about living for the good of society. This world should remember you for acts of good will when you are departed. That is what Christianity is. For if you are not good to others, your faith is dead(James 2:26).

Inspire others to do good as a Christian so that so many people can follow your example too. Greet , smile  and show concern about the distress your neighbour. Help people who are in problems. Show your Christianity in many places not only walking humbly in church. Be ready to do as much good work as you can. Be rich in good works (1 Timothy 6:18).

The Duty of Humanity

Every day we wake up and do what we do to earn a living. In the evening we as usual are tired and retire to bed. That is the routine. But sometimes I think you wonder really what our duty on this planet is!

You see, after all the toiling, the next thing is death. Then what is the meaning of all the toiling if any time we can leave this planet? Is it worth it?

Because of many questions as to why it is so, I turned to the Bible to understand what humanity has been assigned to do on this planet.

Ecclesiastes 12 verse 1 says “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say ‘I find no pleasure in them’.

In other ways, while you are young, remember that you have a creator to  Whom you have a duty .But what is that duty?

Verse 13 of the same chapter says ‘The whole duty of man is to FEAR GOD and keep His commandments’. Remember, whatever you are going to do today, you have a duty to God, Fear Him, the One who created heaven and earth.

You fear Him by doing everything to His Glory. Show acts of love to people around you. Be nice to your workmates. Give out peace, love ,hope, joy and happiness to the people that surround you. Live for Christ and you will thereby keep the commandments of God, the whole duty of man.
