Chronicles of Truth

My mum and I recently had a conversation about why people at the hem of affairs are not satisfied with a leadership position well done. Why do they have to run for more?  What is so important about the top seat that they can't let other people who have not had the chance to take it up and run? Why must it always be their faces we see and the voices we hear? It has become stale and irrelevant because we keep hearing the same thing without any touch of freshness or transformation. I agreed with her on a questioning and lots of other ideas, but she said something that I couldn't argue neither did I agree. She said, "they are all greedy, and people who have tasted power don't want to stay ashore while people cross Jordan to rule."  I struggled with her ideology. I couldn't say she was wrong because I have no proof yet. I can't agree with her because I know there are exceptional cases. So, I kept it somewhere that in the cause of time, I...

Can you imagine when a boy who can't even feed himself without his parents, decides to stand alone because he thinks he's got all it takes to become the head of a family? You know he has set himself up for troubles.  When the devil thought that he can set his throne above God's, he found himself in far below expectations. Can you imagine what and how a creation can do and live without the creator? Miserable is an understatement. As much as an invention is dependent on the manufacturer. So is everything made by God is structured to survive in Him. God is LIFE and only Him can supply it, anything outside Him is DEATH!!!  I know we must have come across the scriptural verse that talked about "poor in spirit"-(Matthew 5:3). This is the genetic makeup of man. Finding sources outside of God will cause the person to be miserable.  There are times when we feel we've tried all we can to have a thing and we find ourselves at the end of the road and it l...

The race is a marathon. Why should you give up now? The journey is far dear. I want to encourage people that are running the race faithfully, fighting the good fight of faith and holding on to the testimony of Christ they have received, that the Lord is for and with you. Don't gasp out now. Don't give up.  Those that run, do it to gain something. They pursue and strife to get what others also want. So giving up isn't a choice for them, but they must press the more. And Paul the apostle said:   You've all been to the sta­dium and seen the athletes race. Ev­eryone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tar­nishes and fades. You're af­ter one that's gold eternally.  I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the fin­ish line. I'm giving it ev­ery­thing I've got. No sloppy living for me! I'm staying alert and in top con­dition .( 1 Corinthians 9:24-26; MSG) If everything is hard...

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

   An altar call is the beckoning of people to salvation. Salvation is the confession of sin and proclamation of Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOR . This summoning is not of open disgrace, but a declaration that "I have decided to follow Jesus and nothing can change my mind".    In our churches today, people don't really understand the worth of this call. Some think that it is a mandatory information to be passed after each message. To be sincere, it's the most important message through the ages. How can we neglect that?    If you must know, the preacher isn't the one calling you. The one who is calling everyone is Christ Himself ( Matthew 11:28) . The altar is not compulsorily it's your local church, because "where two or three are gathered, there HE is in there midst...".    God loves you, brother and sister, why don't you open up your heart and welcome Him into your life? He's been knocking all this while, give Him your life and e...

   You don't have what you have for the sake of yourself, but for other's sake. God gave you whatever you have because He wants others to see what He can do and that you also impact it into their lives with whatever it is. You became a Christian not for you to remain like that in your closet and just enjoy God all by your self. You are meant to "go into the world and preach the gospel"- Matthew 28:18-20. Evangelize to others and lead them to Christ just you were.   Material things are also things that mustn't keep to oneself and watch your neighbors suffer. Impact lives with your substance. Be it love, care, knowledge, e.t.c. Don't tell your neighbors to come back for something you have in your capacity ( Proverbs 3:27). Supply it if you have it. The more you acquire, the larger your responsibility becomes in all aspects (Ecclesiastics 5:11a). Share all you've been given by God to others. To whom much is given, more is expected. As God blesses y...
