THE CONVINCED CONVICT

   Being convicted is to be proven guilty in a court of law. Law also means a certain laid down principles to be lived by. A court is a place where legal cases are heard or where a formal legal meeting in which evidence about crimes, disagreements, e.t.c: is present to a judge and often a jury so that decisions can be made according to the law.
   While the state of being convinced is to make sure someone believes what you say is true or agree with you and your plans. Before a man can claim to be convinced, definitely He's been opened to a new light that makes the former one old.
   You must be convinced of an old thing before the exposure to new things. In Christiandom, we must remember that in 1 peter 2:9, we have been called from darkness into light to show the praises of Him that called us (who is LORD GOD Himself).
   But come to think of it, humans aren't so stupid to be in the darkness when they know there is light for them to walk in. What went wrong? Oh! I see- they never knew. But how come the shift from normal to abnormal becomes the order of the generations? Why won't they know there is a greater light?
   The Great Light is Christ Jesus who came to this world for the reconciliation of God and man through the unending Love the Father has bestowed on us. And the reason for our transformation is that we also might be lights that shine among men (when He has gone to be with Father) for people to glorify Him.
   The unawareness of the people of the is due to the fact that the devil has convinced them that he is the angel of light. Thereby forming so many things and making them see the similitude (like a sample out of trillions) between it and our Christianity. So with his trick has pulled so many away and made them a slave to himself and principle. Turning men to objects of destruction towards one another and they keep doing the inconvenient things in the name of pleasure. There is GREATER LIGHT I tell you!
   Until a man sees the evidence of a better result, he won't believe it. So also until he is convinced that the road in which he's going leads to destruction! That if judged by his present state, there is no way out than to be condemned, he won't give up the former things.
    But when He turns from his ways to reconcile with God, ask for forgiveness and willingly surrender all the Lordship of Christ Jesus, then God of grace will look down with mercy and draw him nearer to be His child. Now this is the good part!
   When a man sees a new light and willingly forsake the old one, then can he say through faith, he's moved from glory to glory. When convinced of being convicted through the help of the Holy Spirit and godly sorrow that works salvation follows, then justify by mercy and sanctify with the blood of Jesus and glorify to be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus makes him joint-heirs with Him.
   Salvation isn't the end of the story, but the beginning of a journey to Glory. The road might be rough, but I tell it leads to eternal life. The more you go, always contend for more. A curious mind can never be bored because he will long for adventures on his home. Ask for the Holy Spirit's strength for the journey by waiting upon the Lord. Walk in the spirit, always hope, keep the Faith, and above all show Love to everyone as evidence that JESUS IS LORD! 
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...
