FORGIVENESS IS A GREAT VIRTUE...

Image
The devil is the “accuser of the brethren”. It is unfortunate that some people ignorantly posses this attribute of the devil. How can a person be an accuser of the brethren without knowing it? The answer is simple: when you refuse to forgive those who have wronged you, you are passively accusing him or her as an evil doer. The practical implication of refusing to forgive those who have wronged you is that you become a prosecuting witness against a brother or sister. You are therefore on the side of the devil in heaven’s court litigating against your own brethren. It’s  therefore wise to heed the words of Jesus in Mark 11:25: “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your father also which is in heaven may forgive your trespasses.” Many professing children of God find it difficult to forgive. One wonders if such people have ever experienced joy of forgiveness from God or man before. Unfortunately for them, the fellow they are accusing i...

BEFORE THE TIME RUNS OUT

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.Proverbs 1:24-33 (KJV) God, personified as Wisdom, bemoans men’s ca...

DO YOU WANT HIM AS A LAWYER OR JUDGE?

Image
A lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no avail. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her husband, family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle.  He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman. After a long legal battle between the man and the accusers, the lady was set free. The lady fell before the man and asked 'WHO ARE YOU' The next day the lady deliberately committed another crime and was sent to the same court. As soon as she entered the courtroom, she saw the man who interceded for her the previous day on the judgment seat. ...

WHY MANIPULATING THE TRUTH?

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God…2 Corinthians 4:2  This golden confession was given by Apostle Paul, while addressing the Corinthian Church. This article will be addressing our Church leaders in various denominations. Many shepherds in the Church have misled the flocks, thereby depopulating the Kingdom of God. This has caused the Church to be producing half-baked believers. This message is not meant to condemn anyone but to call us back to basics, for us to start afresh. We can learn and retrace our steps from the life of Apostle Paul. Today, many leaders of the church have to deliver the word of God by manipulating and handling the word of God deceitfully in order to produce a message sweet to the ear of their members. It is scarce nowadays, for you to see a sermon delivered whic...

AT THE TIME OF LIFE (PART 2)

I have written earlier on this topic. But the Holy Spirit is opening my eyes more on some issues on this topic. Every activity on earth is operated by time and each situation is tagged by its timing. Whenever it is time for Rain, we call it the Rainy Season. If it is time for Harmattan, we call it the Harmattan Season. If a man is experiencing Poverty, it is called the time of Poverty for that period and if a country is experiencing Famine, it is called the Famine Time. But the time of life is a special time withheld by God. This time carries so much power that it can stop the activities of any other times operating in your life. God usually release this time, when a man is going through an unfavorable time, period or circumstances. This time is so powerful that it can interrupt any unfavorable times in your life and stop it right on the track. But this time can only be released by God, when a man does something special that provokes God into action. This word first surface...

THE POISONED HEART

This particular statement was formed out of Act 14: 1 – 2, which reads “1. And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews,and so spake, that a great multitude, both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. (KJV) For the verse two, let us read the RSV Version: “But the unbelieving Jews, stirred up the Gentiles ad poisoned their minds against the brethren” My dear Reader, almost every day you have been hearing the word of God from different channels like: Social Media, TV, Radio, Newspapers, Bulletin, Church, Text Messages, Neighbors, Friends and even the man/woman who usually preach very early in the morning in your street. Some of the times you heard this word of God, you are probably convinced and realized that you are a sinner and you need to come to the throne of grace to seek mercy from the Lord and accept the Lord Jesus into your life. As you are ruminating over this, a friend, relative or other satanic messengers wou...
