COMMITMENT

Commitment can be defined as a state of been pledged or engaged to something very important. Taking family as a case study - when a father isn't committed to his wife or parent to children or vice versa. They tend to do things for the benefit for one singular purpose - THEMSELVES. You can imagine what kind of family that will look like.

   Commitment is an act of loyalty - being devoted to or faithful to someone, cause, or nation. As Christians, we know our loyalty is toward the head of the church - Christ Jesus. He loved us so much that he gave Himself up for our sins (john 3:16). He wants is to reciprocate this by being faithful to Him.

   Let's think about it. Who on earth can Love to the extent of sacrificing his/her life because of someone who doesn't even care if he/she did or not? But Christ Jesus did, even when we were yet sinners he died for us ( Romans 5:8).

   As wonderful as the testimony of our savior, we only love and worship Him with our mouth, but our heart is far from Him (Matthew 15:8). If it were you that did all Jesus did, would you be please if the people you did all these refuse to be committed to you.

   Some of us suddenly turn to mathematicians when it comes to giving offerings and tithe. We become busy when we are called to work for God. We think we are too big to do those kinds of things. Who are you before the Lord Almighty? We even hide unforgiveness in our heart just with lots of reasons, when Christ Himself took all your punishment and forgives you all your sins. Think about it, in what way are you not committed.

   If Jesus Christ should come back today, will boldly say to you that you are a faithful servant? Just check through your life and pray that the Lord should reveal that area you aren't committed, and ask Him for grace to be committed to Him in Love. He will answer you only if you are ready to make things right with Him. He loves you and wants the best for you, only your commitment is needed.

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...
