ALTAR CALL

   An altar call is the beckoning of people to salvation. Salvation is the confession of sin and proclamation of Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOR. This summoning is not of open disgrace, but a declaration that "I have decided to follow Jesus and nothing can change my mind".

   In our churches today, people don't really understand the worth of this call. Some think that it is a mandatory information to be passed after each message. To be sincere, it's the most important message through the ages. How can we neglect that?

   If you must know, the preacher isn't the one calling you. The one who is calling everyone is Christ Himself (Matthew 11:28). The altar is not compulsorily it's your local church, because "where two or three are gathered, there HE is in there midst...".

   God loves you, brother and sister, why don't you open up your heart and welcome Him into your life? He's been knocking all this while, give Him your life and enjoy His abundant life. Surrender all to Him withholding NOTHING. Let go of everything, cast all your cares on Him because He cares a lot. You are in for much more.

   Make a confession to the Glory of the Lord and the shame of the devil that:-Jesus is my Lord and savior. I confess that He died for my sins and rose again that I may have hope of a glorious destination, and I believe that He's the son of God. I renounce the devil and his deeds and I surrender all to Jesus, my blessed savior. I welcome You in my life, please take control in Jesus name. Amen.

   As you have spoken in His ear so shall He do. I join my faith with yours and I ask for grace(the ability to do) away from sins and you are set free in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you!

 SHALOM!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
