...a SON or a SERVANT

   When a man is wealthy he tends to have many people around to help in the taking care of the house while he is focus on the job that gives them their salary. Eventually he gets married and gave birth to a boy.
   The little boy of course is the heir to the man, yet he will be restricted to some things just like the people that works in the house. Yes, he is the man's son and a junior boss in that house. Yet in the sight of his father he's not different from the house workers.
   A son isn't different from a servant, though he's the heir, they are equal as long as he's still a child (Galatians 4:1). We are like that when we believe in the Lord and we become born again. We are like babies to Him, we can't do or understand much. But someone who is a servant would have understood the master and always do whatever he says.
   When the child becomes an adult, he would have understood his father and will be ready to take over his father's work. In this case, the servant's isn't of any use because the boy has grown to a man. He knows better than the servant and more important than who the servant is no matter the achievements.
   No matter how good you work for the Lord, but without you believing in Him, you are just a servant. So your services is irrelevant to Him, you just have to be a son by believing. As for the sons, you are of no use if you are still a child. Grow up and be like the Father. So check yourself and ask "AM I A SON OR A SERVANT? Find your way to the Lord if you are not a son by BELIEVING in Christ Jesus and OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS. PEACE!!!

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
