HAPPY NEW YEAR: THIS IS THE FIRST POST OF THE YEAR 2010

Have you have been wondering, why God won’t let you do this or that thing or just about anything you ‘d like to do as a Christian, (I do not mean sinning ,please). You may want to read the post below to understand the exclusivity of a Christian and why we have to be different, albeit weird to the World.

I also believe this post will put in perspective , stuff we deal with in our Christian lives daily, Both the Spirit filled and ordinary Christians alike, So that we would not keep being frustrated with following Christ, rather follow and Obey Him with Joy…In fact I have more peace as a  follower of Christ than any thing else, there is nothing in the World that I want but, everything in Christ I need…Halleluyah!

I must confess also that, This post is more about me than any thing I have read lately, I am so blessed to have been sent this by the “Revival List” , That is not to say that I don’t fight the emotions at times, I have over the years done that,  But, I decided to yield totally to His will for my life a long time ago… it was a worthless battle, one that I knew I would always lose if i kept on fighting.

So it is something that I have grown into all my life, I believe this post will help those still struggling with yielding to God and also young and new Christians to come into total obedience to God and see why Others may but, we cannot…. Read the rest of this entry »

Is your defense, your works? You know Jesus but, Does Jesus know You? Turn away from trusting in your own good deeds, and cast your whole self upon Christ. Brethren,You have to listen to this video of Paul Washer, this is problem we all face today, many ask why won’t God just allow people into Heaven when they die, after all they were good Christians while on earth, one cannot be tired of explaining this to people especially new Christians… maybe with this would change that line of thought…I found it resoundingly refreshing to hear again.

I haven’t had much time to blog, didn’t want to twitter the recent sad news news we received either because, It just didn’t feel right in my spirit.sad-face03 One has been pondering on the futility of life for the past 2 weeks now, with the recent passing of two of my mums drivers both died one week apart one in a fiery car crash that claimed many lives and involved about 4 cars in all. As for  the other driver don’t know much details because he worked with her years ago but he died last week, so we heard … then there is  that of Michael Jackson (whom every body loved in my family and World over), Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon, it reminds us all of the vanity of all the Mundane activities, we choke ourselves up with daily,  the Bible says. . .  Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher of Ecclesiastes, "All is vanity… All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.", for what did they all labor for? For what do we all strive for ? to eat and drink? and quarrel and bear grudges? gather and store up riches to our own hurt? become a snare unto another just so we would feel better about ourselves?  Abandon our God given responsibilities to God and  families in search of the proverbial “golden fleece”, and a new life we so crave and desire, all these… for what!? “What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?”” one can only see that it is only a matter of time before we all come face to face with the king of king and the Lord  of Lords. . . what then!? Indeed, how can people avoid what they don’t know is going to happen?  None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle” Ecc 8:7.

This whole situation brings us back to the question of where will you spend eternity? though a simple question… very pithy indeed! but many would rather not think about that and many would just rather wish it away but, if life is real , so is death … . the Bible warns us to Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. 7 For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

Oh Please God Save us from your Holy Wrath!

In conclusion, The bible also has this to say about  life and it’s inevitable end "For what is your life?" asks the apostle James. "It is a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away."

I hope that we all take solace in the strength of the Holy Ghost and remember that Jesus is coming very soon.

Pathway to Victory  -  Dr. Robert Jeffress

“For by grace you have been saved by faith,” we recite.
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!” we sing.
“We live under grace,” we claim.

Grace is part of the basic vocabulary in the Christianese language we speak. Unfortunately, many Christians today are abusing God’s amazing gift of grace. They have perverted God’s underserved gift of forgiveness and promise of eternal life into a license for immorality, self-indulgence, and uninvolvement in God’s kingdom. And in the process they are robbing themselves of Read the rest of this entry »

The Gospel is not a matter of promising God to do better, nor to amend our sinful ways, nor to reform nor give up the world; but rather, to freely receive the gift of God on the basis of Christ’s blood sacrifice.

Salvation is freely given and freely received. Eternal life is a free gift. We are not saved in any way by our own self-righteous efforts or works. It’s not what you’re doing that gets you to Heaven, it’s where you’re looking. Look to Jesus!
