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 and love because the Holy Spirit dwells in them to teach them how to be and live like Christ Jesus.
   A man once said, "blame others only as you will blame yourself first". If you can't take or share the blame, don't put it on someone else. It might seem impossible, but IF you will let the holy spirit take the lead and teach you in the way of Love.
   Some even ask people to take the blame for them. If you really do love the fellow, you won't want to see him/her hurt at the expense of your comfort. And when you are involved in a fight with someone, don't expect him/her to say sorry first especially when it evolved from a state of argument. (Matthew 5:23-25).
    Arguments happen when two people with different perspectives want to establish that their way of seeing things is the best. Do not try to prove a point when there is a counter except if that is your job( e.g a lawyer). Hear the person out, you might be saying the same thing (James 1:19). When you know someone offends you or you are the offender, settle it immediately. Confess your faults to one another rather than casting it (James 5:16) and let all things be done in Love. God bless His church in Jesus name. Amen! SHALOM!!!

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...
