Horror to honor

Horror can be defined as a very strong feeling of fear, dread, and shock while Honor is the respect that is given to someone who is admired or of a good reputation. The movement from the state of horror to an honorable state is perfectly expressed in the experience of salvation.
    Salvation is the process of being rescued from sin that brings death into abundant life. Until a man sees a greater light in every sphere of life, he will believe that what he calls light is the best kind of it.
   A man born into a city where they do the same thing all the time will grow to believe that is the best kind of life to live but until there is an exposure of better things that amaze him and makes him wonder, he will remain used to the lifestyle even when he seems uncomfortable with it.
    A man in sin doesn't know how grievous his end will be. He will enjoy every part of those inconvenient things. We only know that sin is an inconvenient act when the HOLY SPIRIT is active and working in us only if we let Him.
   The faith in Christ Jesus does a lot to us. Our mindset and belief system begin to change as we behold Him in prayer, worship, fasting, and daily digestion of His word. The more we hold to the faith we've received, the more vulnerable to the experiences that enlighten us to be more like Him.
    We can't spend the whole time describing and sampling what horror is, how does honor come to play in this situation? When the psalmist was sharing His salvation story in Psalm 23, he talked about the Lord preparing a table before Him after he had passed through the valley of the shadow of death(a horrible place to be).
   You can't expect the owner of a society to let go of His member without making every effort to bring him back. The devil won't be relaxing at the decision you want to take to experience honor. He also wants to be in charge of your life. So he test you till you overcome him when you know the power in the blood of the lamb and the word of testimony (showcasing faith).
   There is always a testimony after every test of faith. Honor comes when we've gone through horror, the Lord places us in a place beyond our imagination. A place of honor given by the Lord God Himself. We can only hate sin when we believe in Christ Jesus (the light) and he causes us to be enlightened through the holy spirit to see that sin birth-death( not just the body, but the soul also).
   We are called to honor. We are called to sit in Jesus in heavenly places above principalities. Depart from that dark and horrible place and come into His marvelous light to show the praise of Him that called you! SHALOM!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

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...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
