An Approved Worker

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2 v 15 When I was in a line up to be introduced to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Oct 1997, the term used was " You would be presented to the Queen.." I was by the grace of God among twelve fellows selected for the flagship British scholarship and so, it was deemed an honour to be presented to the Queen in a reception. Likewise, we are to be presented to the King of Kings as one who is a good and faithful servant of God. The uni-verse exhorts us to do our best as we only need to be diligent in studying the word, day and night and the Lord will fill the gaps in our work and our lives with His grace. If we have neglected our work, we would be ashamed when God examines us and our work but if we have excelled, then we would have no reason to hide like Adam and Eve after their fall. The metaphor of a worker is apt as we are doing the work of the Lord. The tools or resources we need are all packed into the word of God. We are to be perceptive enough to develop the analytical skills and take the help of the Holy Spirit to correctly interpret the word in its context and beyond it in terms of application in our lives today. We are to speak the truth in a spirit of love and not of condemnation so that people are encouraged to follow Jesus. Our work in its totality needs the stamp of approval of the Master for nothing escapes His watching eye. No slip shod work or work that is short of our very best is likely to meet His standards. Are we living truthful lives? Are we speaking the whole truth of the gospel and the word and not amending or distorting it to please our hearers? Are we doing our best to put into practice that which we have learnt from others and that which we teach others? These are the tests we should subject our work to on a daily basis.

Changing the programming

Mankind collectively and individually are designed for success, happiness, progress but we are programmed for failure. Eqthinking seeks to correct the programming by addressing the hitherto untapped potential of the negative. The binary code or binary process enables us to address the challenge of reinforcing the positive on a continual basis and to also simultaneously addresss the challenge of changing the negative into positive. Once the self talk changes on these two lines, automatically, the programming changes, our thought pattern changes, our emotional pattern changes, our decision pattern changes,our actions change and our outcomes or results change for the better. Our relationships between individuals, organisations and nations will also change for the better.

UV 4275/10000 Focus on Being His Magnifying Lens

See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you. Isaiah 60 v 2 The world and worldly people are covered in darkness but the Lord shines His light upon those who believe in Him, those who acknowledge Him, those who revere His name and serve Him. Darkness is a metaphor for not knowing who God is, what His nature is, and the extent of both His love and power. At the time of Moses, while darkness covered all Egypt, there was light in the houses of the Israelite slaves. Likewise, the glorious presence of the Lord lights up our lives even in the midst of gross darkness or evil and ignorance prevailing in this world. The light in us and on us will attract people from all nations and even kings or rulers will be drawn to the brightness. We will be able to see through the contemporary darkness and our faces will be radiant even as Moses' face shone after His close communion with God on the mo

Wonderful New Holistic Thought Process Beneficial to All of Humanity

Eqthinking or Equilibrium Thinking creates a balance between the rational cognitive mind and the irrational emotional mind. The thought process is binary like zero and one employed in computer coding. In this case, it is 1 and 0, where 1 is the value given to the “be at it” part of the process and 0 is the value given to the beat it part of the process. We are adding a value of one when we give ourselves the positive command “ Be calm” and add a value of zero by removing the negative of anger, when we command ourselves “ Beat anger.” Likewise , be joyful, beat sadness, be healthy, beat sickness, be self controlled, beat lust; be wise, beat folly; be strong, beat weakness; be disciplined, beat indiscipline; be gentle, beat harshness; be humble, beat pride; be punctual, beat delay; be calm, beat stress; be faithful, beat unfaithfulness; be forgiving, beat resentment.. The constant pattern is 10, 10, 10 … Each command is binary and leads to a constant ongoing cycle of thoughts creating
