THE SATISFYING GIFT OF GOD




This materialistic world in which we live today has made it easy for many to overlook the profound gifts that the Almighty Father distribute to us with each passing day. God's abundant provisions stems from the air we inhale to every other phenomena that confer upon us fulfillment. In this, there exist a unique gift from God that surpasses all others. It's ability to satisfy and fulfill our deepest needs which happen to be harbouring the forgiveness of the creator makes this gift an exceptional one. Just as the Holy Bible makes us to understand while stating "Blessed is the man whose sin is forgiven", the man in whom the LORD inputs not sin is equitably blessed.


Romans 6:23 makes the aforementioned statement true by affirming that "..the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord". As this verse reminds us that all sinners sincerely need the benevolence of a Savior, it also calls to remembrance the place of the gift of God, which is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The eternal life available through JESUS CHRIST is only offered freely to all who accept Him as their Lord and Savior. So let us not limit this gift to the workings of men because it is only made available by the Grace and Mercy of "the God in whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning" (James 1:17).


Ephesians 2:8-9 solemnly amplifies the rejoinder, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." The Salvation of a man's soul is a gift from God that cannot be earned through our own worthless efforts. It is only through Faith in Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross of Calvary alone that we receive the gift of eternal life. This gift is available to all who believe in Him, regardless of their past sins or shortcomings.


The gift of salvation brings with it a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. It offers forgiveness for sins committed in the past and forestalls Peace with God while providing the platform for reinstatement and fulfillment of the promise of eternal life with God in heaven. This gift unlike any other indemnifies a man to the initial plan of God for him. It can be likened to being connected to streams of life and nourishment that never runs dry as it will be a lifetime of growing from strength to stages of more strength in the presence of the Almighty Father. When one experiences the reconnection to this great Father of Light who dwells up above all difficulty and weaknesses, he/she will then reassuredly say "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (Psalm 23:1-3)


The gift of salvation brings with it the assurance that JESUS CHRIST is our good shepherd, guiding and protecting us in all circumstances. Like a loving and compassionate Master, He guarantees the supply of our needs and leads us in the paths of righteousness. This gift brings satisfaction to our souls and Peace to our hearts, knowing that we are loved by a God who will never leave nor forsake us.


As we journey through life, it is essential to remember that the satisfying gift of God is the gift of Salvation made available through Jesus Christ. This gift offers us Hope in times of despair, Strength in times of weakness, and Joy in times of sorrow. It is a gift that truly satisfies the deepest longings of our hearts and souls.


In conclusion, let us cherish and appreciate the satisfying gift of God which is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ by using it as an access point to receiving other treasures that the LORD has reserved to give to us. Let this be known that our reception of the satisfying gift from God can only be gotten through importunate  prayers. As you commit your desires to God through prayers, may the answers come pouring-in 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...
