CONTENTMENT IS A GREAT GAIN



Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be contented with such things as ye have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee---Hebrew 13:5

The problem most people are facing in today’s world is due to lack of contentment. The fear of the Lord breeds contentment, because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Lack of contentment can make a man involve in various criminal vices like: Ritual Killing, Corruption, Fraud, Prostitution, Gambling e.t.c.  When a man is not satisfied with what God has provided him he begins to seek other alternatives from the devil. While the devil is ready to give him what he wants and snatch from him very precious things God has already given him.

The primary source of lack of contentment is covetousness. When a man is using other people’s life has a benchmark to judge is own progress, he will start to covet what others have, not knowing how they got to the exalted position or procure the material things they possess. Infact, some are even coveting other’s wife/husband/children. This is completely wrong!No matter what you need God to do for you, do not covet what others have. Do not take a strange/fraudulent step to acquire whatever you want. In our bible text, the Lord clearly says that he will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Why not rest on him? Why not commit your worries to him? He is more than able to take care of it.

You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your life today and all will be fine. If you are ready to accept the Lord Jesus into your life, please bow down your head wherever you are now and repeat after me,” Lord Jesus, I have come to the realization of my sins, please cleanse me with your blood on the cross of Calvary, wash me and I shall be made whole. Thank you Jesus, in Jesus mighty name, I pray, Amen”.

As you have made this declaration from deep within your heart, you shall experience the hand of God You can download a softcopy of the bible on your app store or visit any Christian Bookshop around you to get a hard copy.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE TO BE SAVED

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV) The only person Jesus cannot help is the person who refuses to believe. That is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The blasphemy of unbelief. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can neither be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come because Jesus says I am your saviour and you say you don’t believe in Him. What do you want Him to do? Save you by force? You have to believe to be saved. The blank cheque has been given. The whole world is technically saved but the reality is that it is for those who have believed. “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23 KJV). What are the things? The things that have been threatening your life. The things that have been harassing you. The things that have been giving you sleepless nights. What are the things? The things you have been w

Recieving Urgent Response to your Prayers

Isaiah 65:24 :- “Before they call, I will answer.”  This is a testimony written  by a doctor who worked in Africa.  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.       Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).  “And it is our last hot water  bottle!” she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so

TREADING THE DANGEROUS PATH

Image
“ 1. My son, pay attention to my wisdom, lend your ear to my understanding 2. That you may preserve discretion, and your lips may keep knowledge 3. For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smother than oil. 4. But in the end, she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword. 5. Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell. 6. Lest you ponder her path of life, her ways are unstable, you do not know them. 7. Therefore, hear me now, my children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8. Remove your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house. 9. Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one 10. Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, 11.   And you mourn at last, when your flesh and blood are consumed, 12. And say, how I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction! 13. I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor incl
