THE LAW or THE SPIRIT

   Some people say the LAW is bad, but come to think of it. If the Law is bad, why would it be given by God? If the law isn't bad why would God give the Holy Spirit? So many people with different questions.

   I have come to the realization that every good gift comes from the Lord. I will like to make an illustration of health. We all know that without medicine, the human race might have been finished by now. But I also want us to know that God gave them knowledge of medicine to help us survive every one of our sicknesses, but at the same time He also wants us to experience DIVINE health.

   When we take any drug or treatment prescribed by the doctor for a particular illness, that doesn't mean it won't come back, but when God heals, it can never come back, if you Believe. He always leaves us to choose the one we think is better. Which would you prefer medicine or divine healing?

   I notice that God does not force anything, we just have to make choices every time. He gave the LAW to make us know what is right and what he expects of us to do, but the TRINITY also wants HUMANITY to experience DIVINITY through Christ Jesus in every sphere of life.

   So He gave us HIS SPIRIT to be able to obey what he gave us as commandments. Now, the choice is ours to make. You may decide to obey God's commandments with manpower by turning it to a LAW or ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to help you to obey without stress.

   The Law makes us know but the spirit helps us to do, just as medicine diagnoses and prescribe drugs, but God heals...which do we prefer? Would you like to take drugs and injections all your life or God's touch and be whole? (John 5:6). Do want to keep striving to please God or you want Him to help you do HIS will. It's amazing to see a person giving rules and the same time the ability to obey - HOW WONDERFUL!

  If you are ready to surrender all to Jesus and let Him take control of your life (Matthew 11:28) so that the letter won't kill you (by striving), but He will give you His spirit. Choose wisely. Ask God and Believe that HE will do it...

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...
