THE CONNECTION THAT LINKS TO CHRIST AT ETERNITY

The Joy that exists in communities benefiting from the electricity power supply made available by the national grid is quite satisfying. In those communities, different fashion of development tend to outshine the darkness that has plagued economic and sustainable growth. In no distant time, neighbouring towns begin to witness the beauty of positive externalities.


The scenario above describes the lifestyle of a Christian that genuinely practices the teachings of JESUS CHRIST and the nature of Peace that salvation brings to our immediate community. Every effort to share the gospel with others is an attempt to connect them with the light of the world which happen to be JESUS CHRIST. It is referred to as shining as light in a dark world. It chases away darkness and reassures hope in the heart of every hearer. Without the gospel of Christ, sinners grope in the darkness of sin that Satan uses to enslave them and we must act fast as watchmen directed by God to sound the alarm of danger because God's judgment hovers over them. 


The Holy Bible in Mark  16:15 says "...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". Philippians  2:15 amplifies the purpose "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world". There is reward for all obedient servants of God. Mark  16:17-18 states "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover". Pause for a while and think about it. Is there any community that can afford to reject the good gift which is from above and cometh down from the Father of Light? Is there anyone born of a woman that can afford rejecting the good gift of salvation which the God in whom is no variableness offers? The scriptures in Romans  10:14, says "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?".


This presents a big challenge to all Christians, just as the word of God reveals in 2 Timothy  4:2, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine". Just as Andrew connected his brother, Simon Peter to Christ, and Phillip connected Nathanael to Christ, tell your neighbours about JESUS CHRIST. Tell that person next to you. Do not let Satan seal your mouth. Strive to connect sinners in their reach to Christ. Strive through intercessory prayer, personal evangelism, and sharing of gospel messages through the social media. You can connect many sinners around you and on the global community to Christ. 


Jesus Christ said categorically in Luke  13:24, "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able". Will you strive? How will you strive? Please, do it just as the Master JESUS CHRIST did it. He said in John  9:4, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work". Will you work for the LORD? He has given you another opportunity. Why not use it wisely? He also amplified the place of love during his earthly ministry. In John  13:35, he said, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another". Do you love the sinners as Christ loves them? If you truly do, tell them about the saviour that came and died in their place. Tell them that they do not need to pay the price of their sins any more. Christ paid it all.


As you do, may God Almighty furnish your ministry with fruits, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
