INGREDIENT OF THE GOSPEL

Gospel is good news to the people but can only be spread when those assigned to share it already know and have the important things involved in the work. There is work to do on the part of those giving and also the receiver. Christians are assigned to preach the gospel. (Matthew 28: 19).
    The message of our Lord Jesus Christ is a call to salvation because He came to save mankind. While He was doing His earthly ministry, He PREACHED AND ACTED LOVE. We are witnesses of who He is and His representative. The expected attribute in we Christians is LOVE IN EVERYTHING including preaching the gospel.
   The message of the cross is known to people but not all believe. Only those that believe what they know can fully understand who our Lord really is. Knowledge isn't just enough. The message of salvation incomplete without FAITH. The giver gives in Love and the receiver receives in Faith.
   Christ gave Himself in Love and we receive salvation by faith. Love and faith are the basic ingredient of salvation. Every gospel preacher must follow this pattern. Preach in Love and that makes the unbeliever receive in FAITH. By this, we will expand the kingdom of Heaven and more souls will be won to Christ. SHALLOM!!!

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...
