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!!!

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...
