The LIFE we LIVE

   So many people always think that the LIFE that we Christians refer to is a kind of physical stuff. Some think we are a fetish. Some think we are unreasonable. Even some members of the religion sees a genuine born again Christian and call them the " over spiritual " set of people in the religious setting.
    One thing that is important is that the part of been born again is so spiritual and it makes the gift of ETERNAL LIFE spiritual too. This life doesn't mean we won't die physically, but we have an assurance that we will resurrect with our Lord Jesus Christ.
   A genuine Christian isn't a religious man, but a spiritual man that has been dead to the works of the flesh which are lustful desires and pride of this world. He's been changed from a man of reasoning to a man of FAITH by the HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY Spirit helps us to live a life that pleases God the Father. The physical death is just dropping the dusty body and a pathway to see the FATHER face to face.
   The life given to us makes us to boldly say that "we are crucified with Christ, nevertheless, we live, yet not we but Christ that lives in us" - Galatians 2:20. People might see us as crazy people, but we are not because the life we've received and live is of Christ Jesus and this, the world can not receive
   We are different from anybody. This is also a message to Christians all over the world that are been persecuted for the FAITH received. I tell you, there is a greater reward and by then the glory will worth more than the challenges. We aren't alone. The Lord is for, with and in us, whom and what shall we fear?
   Our duty is to trust, meditate on the word, and worship the Lord. Never be moved by situations or circumstances. The Lord always have away at the dead ends, we can't just see it. Nothing can take us away from His love because we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. He is the only begotten Son of the one and only true living God.
   With Him, we are bold and brave because we only look up the Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. The life we live is for the son of God. To die is gain brethren ( not of suicide, but for the sake of Christ) and to live is for Christ. At this end, time let's not be shaken, but firm in FAITH and  LOVE of Christ who gave Himself for us to give us life in abundance. God bless His church. Amen!

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...
