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 the reason why we must run the race and fight a good fight of Faith. It is good to work for Him, but best to walk with Him(Colossians 1:26-29). 

The reason why we receive Christ Jesus into our lives is to have the hope of glory with Him. It is so surprising that a man can cast out demons, tongue talking knows the scriptures and still miss heaven(Matthew 7:22). Of course they believe in Christ Jesus, but that's because they only want to use Him and not for them to know Him intimately.

The things Jesus said will happen are now manifesting (Matthew 24:3-51). Are we ready for His coming? Indeed we've led souls to Christ, but are we sure we don't just sign boards who show the way (Jesus), but refuse to move from that spot? We know and do many things, but how often do we slow down to remember why we started? How have we grown? Are we still on track?

The goal of any athlete is to obtain a trophy, no matter how long the race is, he will never forget why he started in the first place(Hebrews 12:1). Do we still remember why we said yes to Jesus to be our Lord and savior? He told us we will see tribulations, but He said we are more than conquerors through His blood, how strong are we holding on to that? (1 Corinthians 9:24).

The kingdom of God is within us like Jesus said (Luke 17:21) and as we believe, but we must know that He's coming to gather as many people that have the kingdom of God as the highest common factor of their lives.  It is the only thing in existence that carries the greatness of both THE KING AND HIS INFLUENCE.

The moment we are born, we have the mind of the world, but the instant we are born again, we have the mind of Christ. The ways the mind of the world is nurtured by the things we perceive through our senses, so also the mind of Christ that is given to us is being renewed and transformed by the word of God(Romans 12:2), fellowship with brethren and most ultimately God Himself.

This mind of Christ makes us think like Christ which is to please the Father and to know His will. So when we say Christ in us the hope of Glory we are saying as Christ was glorified by the Father, so also am I.
Jesus is coming soon to take all saints home and to as many who have forgotten the reason for their call like the foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-12) will seek after Him with tears like Esau but will be too late(Hebrews 12:17). Christians wake up and hold fast the faith you received! 

The King of kings is coming in His majesty, will you be ready when He comes?! ARE YOU READY NOW!? Brethren I'll like to see you in that glorious home Christ Jesus promised, please don't let go and He will keep you from falling. He's nearer than ever and His reward is with Him to give every man according to His works(Matthew 16:27). Don't give up, HE'LL SOON BE HERE!!! 

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...

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...
