REBORN AGAIN

   In the body of Christ, we have a lot of controversies, but I never thought there should be any misunderstanding about the word "born again". We know that being born again is the death(not dying) of the natural man and the resurrection​ of the spirit man in Christ.  

Meaning being dead totally to the works of the flesh and walking in the spirit. Letting the Holy Spirit take the lead and direct our thoughts, words, and action and not following our hearts because it is desperately wicked and no man can understand it. 

The acceptance of Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior for the rest our lives isn't just a minute declaration or a day quietness, but a lifetime acknowledgment of Christ as the all in all Controller of our lives.

I have heard people say they are born again and just for the sake of peace, they were not questioned. Many people have rendered the word uselessly by living a life contradicting the status they profess.

The process of dying to self daily and being alive in Christ with our hearts, minds, and consciousness, not for a moment, but a lifetime. Putting away the old man(fruit of the flesh), and exhibiting the characters of the new man which is the fruit of the Spirit(Galatians 5:16-23).

We must be born again to be joint-heirs with Christ and have access to God as our Father and also have the Holy Spirit who is our seal for the day of redemption. 

It's not a day event, but a lifetime process. Being REBORN AGAIN is an everyday process of becoming like Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. 

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...
