...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!!!

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...
