Bless the Lord | Gospel Music Video "Offer Love to God" | The Most Beautiful Blessings

Introduction

Offer Love to God

God became flesh and came among us.

He’s suffered all humiliations for saving us.

But I didn’t know Him, misunderstood and complained against Him.

My repeated rebelliousness and resistance grieved His heart so much.

Dear Almighty God, You pay no regard to my transgressions.

You’ve endured much of my rebelliousness and today show me grace again.

Seeing Your exaltation of me, I feel terribly ashamed.

I’m truly unworthy to receive Your love for me.

Dear Almighty God, I hear Your utterance.

Holding Your words in my hands, I shed silent tears.

Every word warms my heart and brings me closer to You.

I rise up from passiveness and follow You closely.

Today I’ve woken up, remorseful beyond words.

I resolve to be born again and satisfy Your desire.

I will repay Your love and offer my last loyalty to You,

bearing resounding testimony to comfort Your heart.

Your love has woken me up. I resolve to perform my duty properly,

be faithful to the end and care for Your desire.

I will repay Your love and offer my last loyalty to You,

bearing resounding testimony to comfort Your heart,

bearing resounding testimony to comfort Your heart.

1 How to Pursue to Be an Honest Person


1 How to Pursue to Be an Honest Person


Miaoxiao Anyang City, Henan Province

In the past, when reading in God’s word that we were required to be an honest person, many brothers and sisters thought that it was not hard to be an honest person and that as long as one told the truth without cheating others in everything, he was an honest person. Most people did not meditate or seek whether they had lived up to the standards of an honest person, and even less did they pay attention to entering into being an honest person. Thus, the matter of practicing being an honest person was shelved. Recently, through the man’s fellowship “The Four Indices People Have to Grasp in Pursuing the Truth to Gain the Transformation of Their Disposition,” we have clearly realized the importance and crucialness of being an honest person, knowing that being an honest person is the prerequisite and the foundation for the transformation of our disposition and is the start of pursuing the transformation of our disposition. Because God likes honest people and loathes crafty people, only if we begin by practicing and entering into being an honest person will we be able to establish a normal relationship with God, and will we easily communicate with God and receive the working of the Holy Spirit. If we have no entering in in being an honest person, we cannot have transformation of our disposition, even less can we be saved and perfected by God.

Principles of Being Wise in Your Belief in God



1. You must know the essential differences between wisdom and deceit. Being wise is in order to properly perform your duty and carry out God’s will; it is something positive.

2. You must adopt wise means toward the great red dragon and all other satanic forces, taking upholding God’s work and not causing any harm to the work of the house of God as the principle.

3. You must be honest, and you must be loving and wise toward others, taking being of benefit to others and the work of God as the principle.

4. In spreading the gospel and saving others, you must search for those who are able to accept the truth. Making sure your methods are judicious means taking the effectiveness of salvation as the principle.

The Principles of Self-examination and Self-knowledge

2. You must take hold of your transgressions and expressions of corruption and examine yourself, so as to see clearly the extent of your pitifulness, forsake the flesh and satisfy God;

3. When you encounter pruning and dealing, chastening and disciplining, failure and setbacks, you should examine yourself, and know your own shortcomings, areas of weakness and Achilles’ heels;

4. Examine yourself by means of others’ experiences of falling down and failures, and learn the lessons and gain the benefits so as not to defy God or offend God’s disposition again.
