DEEDS are SEEDS

Deeds can be defined as an already made action. When something happens and someone feels like starting from the beginning to correct the mistake that happened along the line and it's uncorrectable, people often say "life goes on, the deed is done".    Before we go a little further we should understand the word seed too. In agriculture , it can be defined as an object that has the ability to reproduce or grow and multiply . I would like to define it as a finished work wrapped in a package (Genesis 1:29)    A seed can grow because it is the ability to. There are a lot of things that have been likened to a seed, but the most palpable similitude is MAN . Our actions are seeds that give results.     When a seed is planted , it takes time, undergoes processes, and resources for its  accomplishment ( Genesis 8:22). Come to think of it, what will happen if all seeds dropped on the ground (anywhere) became trees? It isn't all about what to plant...

SHARE THE LIGHT

    There is love in sharing. This saying is true, a man can't decide in his heart to give out a part of his possessions, except if he had encountered the spirit of the one who first partook in the act of sharing- GOD.     The human nature is addicted to many things. It always want everything for its pleasure , without looking at those people who lack around them. It helps the person to see the reason to acquire more. It is selfish and never satisfied (Ecclesiastes 5:10).     Some business people refuse to have a partner because they do not want to share their profit with anyone. They can't just see or say anything good about partnership. They want to stalk up wealth for "their own" enjoyment just like the rich fool in Luke 12:16-21, little do they know that God owns the earth and the fullness thereof (Psalms 24:1) and He gives to His children- those that believe in His Son(Christ Jesus).     We have believed in many wro...

CASTING FAULTS

  When man disobeyed God in the beginning, they didn't want to be the ones to take the blame, so the man blamed God for giving him the woman, the woman also blamed the serpent for deceiving her (Genesis 3:12-13). No one is ready to take any form of blame.     When two people are "partners in crime" and one is caught in the act, he won't want to suffer alone, so he blames the other for influencing him. Even siblings won't accept one another's faults, probably because of the punishment attached to it.     No one can accept a blame that should be shared, but this Jesus did. He took our shame, bore our pains, took our place in death, and gave us his place in life, a man who never sinned ( Hebrews 4:15). God took the blame away from the man and laid it upon himself because he loved us ( John 3:16).     This is the reason why only those that are saved are the ones with the ability to accept other people's blame for the sake of peace ...

THE WORD OR THE WORLD?

   Words can be defined as the combination of sounds that has a meaning and it's either spoken or written. The Lord God of heaven and the earth, created everything by His word as an instrument to create the world.    The world simply means the human society- which comprise of the earth, the people and the things in it. The earth is the Lords' and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein(Psalms 24:1). The Word Of God is the creator while the World is the creation ( John 1:3).    In all things, God comes first(Genesis 1:1) , but the devil tricks man (till now) through his cunning ways, and by this, the world's system was corrupted since the fall of man (Genesis 3:1-24). Ever since the man had been under the manipulation of the devil which brings about sin and produces death as a result.     God decided to find a way of reconciling man to himself. Then He sent His Son(Christ Jesus) to the world to save man (John ...

PARTNERS OF THE CROSS

    A partner is someone who is involved in an activity with another person. The cross is the restoration symbol of man to God through His Love and sacrifice to us(John 3:16). Irrespective of the definition, they are both talking about a form of relationship between two people.    In a business organization, people enter into agreement to reach certain goals. When it is achieved, they share everything got, whether profit or loss. But here we are talking about an agreement between man and God.    God will never share His glory with any man. A company will always promote its name, even when other companies are in partnership with it. The end product or success of a procedure, technique, or idea will be a credit on the company.    Yet it is a privilege to be partakers of this great organization called the body of Christ. Her CEO is Christ Jesus(Ephesians 4:15). This is a society where everyone can be in partnership, but it requires Faith in t...

Hand of God

    The hand is one of the most functioning parts of the body. We carry, hold, pick, and do many other things with it depending on the weight of the object. But how are sure God has hands? Well, my simple answer to that is that he that created hands, how can He not have hands?    He definitely has! To be sure, the scripture says the when Jesus died and resurrected, He went straight to sit at the right hand of God. This means He has and He's got a left hand too. We are His image, a reflection of what He has.     When we talk about any part of God, it signifies His presence. Each part have their functions, but His hand gives strength (Isaiah 41:10). When the hand of Lord is mentioned, it's either to win a battle, set captives free (Exodus 7:5), to create His fear in the heart of His people (Joshua 4:24), to give the wicked their rewards (Psalms 75:8).    The Lord's hand follows those that spread the gospel(Acts 11:21) and so many othe...

Yielding to dealings

   There is no doubt that God has made us different. I learned from a man of God that we have our differences as humans. Which is very true. Our backgrounds, environments, mindsets, experiences, and so many things other factors are what makeup who we are.    When the apostle Paul said those that compare themselves with one another are not wise (2 Corinthians 10:12), I found it so sad that most of us aren't understanding this very verse. It simply means that each one of us have our specialties and codes that are different from others.     There is a personality behind us(humans) that make our existence of great importance to this world. He created all things and he made man the overseer of all His creations. He is God. Can you imagine how big the earth is and how creations have multiplied over the years?    But I want you to know that no matter how great the human race has multiplied, we aren't like other creations. We might have things in...

All In One

   There is always something spectacular about our God, His ways, and acts. He is amazing . Sometimes I think about His might and all He's able to do at the same time, I can't help than to marvel at His awe.    He made everything out of nothing, the earth float in the space, the sun and moon hang in day and night respectively to rule over it according to the command of His words (Genesis 1: 14-18). At His word, things fall in place and come to life. He has diverse ways of dealing with situations and circumstances. HE IS DYNAMIC!    Imagine one person with three personalities, isn't that jaw-dropping? He is God the Father, Son, and the holy spirit at the same time. One personality isn't inferior to the other, but it is the showcasing of his greatness. The Lord God Almighty who is TRINITY. I reverence you, Lord.    Can you imagine one-word commanding results? Well, that's not surprising, When God is involved, trust me, everything works. HE'S EVER...

Where it start

    The coming of a baby to this world is to start living life. Everyone was once in this state. Then we began to grow, eat, talk, crawl, walk, run, read, write and so many other activities. It was a gradual process, but the first thing was to be born.    In the kingdom of God, we were sinners at a point in our lives, then we became born again. Being born again is the bringing into life in Christ Jesus. At this point, many things begin to change in our lives.    It is true that we must be born again(into Christ), but it doesn't end there. We must continue in the process of GROWING by feeding on the WORD OF GOD, WALK by letting the HOLY SPIRIT take the lead and we follow Him, and so many other things that pertain to the kingdom of heaven must be part of our behavior and attitude.    We Christians must know that being born again is like getting an admission, but we must also engage in the activities of the kingdom to be sustained...

When to stop

There is nothing that has a beginning, that doesn't have an ending, except Lord God Most High who is the beginning and the end, first and last, author and finisher. The beginning of all beginning created everything at the beginning to last forever, but after the fall of man brought an ending upon all the created things. All glory to our God who made another eternity those who will believe His son (our Lord Jesus Christ).     Those who believe are those that know the time to stop certain things. The location of a thing isn't as important as the time frame attached to it. Take a product, for instance, the destination of the good isn't as important as the production and expiring dates on it. We are in a world where we are limited to some things.    The limitation we are talking about is as a result of the factor called TIME. According to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, there is a frame of time for all things. A time to start and a time to finish, a time to accept and a ...

THE RESTORER

    Though the devil wants the destruction of mankind and he wants God to be the one to destroy His work. He's been trying all he could through the ages to achieve this, but fortunately for mankind, God has us covered (Psalms 25:6).     God made man in his image and gave him the power to rule on earth(Genesis 1:26). Men fell and lost his power due to the tricks of the devil. Then God cursed man race, but it's so amazing to find out that those curses were blessings in disguise, because God had a greater plan to defeat the devil. Through those pronouncements, redemption came to mankind through the birth and death of our Lord Jesus Christ(Genesis 3:15-19).       I wonder how a person would offer His Son's body for the remission of sin for people who are rebellious. While we were deep in sin, He died for that sin just in case someone will see the cross and repent through the godly sorrow implanted in their heart by the holy spirit ...

GOD'S FATHERSHIP.

     Fathership is the state of being the source of something. We've heard of titles given to people for being the one who started, created, or brought to life something. Our male parents are called fathers because they are part of our production. More than bringing forth, thee nurturing and development of the product is important to the source.      God is the prototype of everything seen and unseen. That's why those who are called His children are people of faith. Faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen(Hebrews 11:1). Only this virtue can please God and move him to do something great.    He's the FATHER of all fathers. No matter how great the invention of a person, it can't be as wonderful as creation. Before a father, there was a father and before anyone can be called a father, God had been the Father of all. His creation has been in existence for millions of years and everything he ...

WORK

    Work is the task or duty that is one's accustomed means of livelihood. It is a good thing to wine, dine, and be satisfied with the result of the work of your hand because it is the hand of God upon you (Ecclesiastes 2:24).    The implication of the above explanation shows that there is no food for the lazy. No work= No food. We live in a world where we want everything to appear the way we picture it without doing anything. We want magical things that require no work, forgetting that those things can't last. They are ephemeral.    Only the work of our hands can be blessed. God can't bless emptiness. It's like multiplying a huge set of numbers with zero, the result will always be zero. Our Almighty God who is the FATHER of all work. Genesis chapter 1 reveals the great and mighty works of creation that the Lord did. When the creator work, why won't the creation work too.    When the Lord created all things, t...

ILLUMINATION

   When darkness covers a place, the only thing that reveals the things in it is LIGHT. It makes things more visible. The extent to which we see is due to the Strength of light that is shone on what must be seen.    As children of God, we are commanded to arise and shine because our LIGHT has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon us (Isaiah 60:1). It's obvious that nothing can shine without a light - not even man.     When God wanted to start creation, the first thing that came to existence was light (Genesis 1:3). THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD did a survey, then THE WORD came and after which LIGHT appeared. When light came, all other creations came forth. Without light, nothing can be done.     In the new creation, the first thing needed is light that comes from the word (John 1:4). It reveals the person to the fact that he's a sinner that needs Jesus Christ (who died for his/her sins) and must come to the SAVING KNOWLEDGE of Christ to ...
