I have heard people say 'x' is the original but they fail to realize that it was 'a' that preceded 'x'.
Now listen to this, there is no where in the history of man where the duplicate appeared first! Isn't that absurd? It has always been the original appearing before the duplicate.
If the duplicate is claiming to be the original, then it is clear that the duplicate has forgotten that it is an IMITATION of the original!
This is how those who are imitating are now accusing the original of being duplicate.
Hope you understood this.

MORNING INSPIRATION

(2 Timothy 1:5 NIV)
"I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also."

Praise the Lord!
In his second letter to Timothy, Paul the apostle wrote about the sincere (unfeigned) faith of Timothy that had successfully survived three generations, from Lios (grandmother) to Eunice (mother) and to Timothy (grandson of Lios). From this narrative it seems as if faith (sincere faith) is a baton that could be passed on from one person to the other. You see beloved, for faith to be passed on from one generation to the other, two agents play a significant role, the agent passing on the faith and the agent receiving the faith. Both of these agents have a role to play. And the success of the generation passing on faith is determined by the success of the generation receiving faith. This is seen in Judges 2:10 where the succeeding generation didn't know the Lord neither what He had done for Israel. How did this happened? The fathers failed to pass on the faith to their children. How could a whole generation not know the Lord? It is scary, isn't it? May this not be said of the present Church of Jesus Christ.

Christian parents should model a life of truth and sincerity before their kids. Holding a Bible in your hand or going to Church on Sundays is not enough. If a parent, for instance, holds a Bible in the right hand but smokes cigar or gulps down liquor from the left hand or preaches love and patience but physically abuses his wife or teaches his son to be prudent with his finances but squanders money on prodigality and wild partying; his son would rather believe and emulate his lifestyle rather than follow his preaching. Parent, your action is a stronger word than your preaching. Children learn easily by what they see than by what they hear. Isn't that a good lesson for all Christian parents to imbibe? Christian friends, never underestimate your kids and think that they would believe your words more than your lifestyle.

Timothy's grandmother lived a sincere Christian life before her daughter, Eunice, who also modeled a sincere Christian life before Timothy. Never believe otherwise, your Chrildren will do what they see you do than preach. How did the walk of faith passed on from Abraham to Isaac, and from Isaac to Jacob, and from Jacob to the twelve tribes of Israel? The patriarchs modeled a godly lifestyle before their children; they aligninned their words with their actions! You cant preach love but hate people and expects your kids to do otherwise.

I encourage all Christian parents to align their words with their actions before their children. It will save generations yet unborn. May grace to successfully pass on the baton of faith from parents to their kids be released on all parents in Jesus' name. Amen!

Shalom!

MORNING INSPIRATION

(Hebrews 2:3 KJV)
"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;"

Praise the Lord!
The question here posed by the author of this epistle is a serious one. This question here is directed to the Hebrews. The Messiah came directly through them and to them. Yet, they were largely holding on to the Mosaic laws and its principles. So the writer asked: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation...?" The crux of the matter here is neglect. The Hebrews were still neglecting the salvation the Christ gave them and were carrying on with the 'shadow' of the good things to come (Heb 10:1). Whatever you neglect, you leave it to destruction. If you neglect your marriage, it will crumble. If you neglect your business, it will collapse. If you neglect your job, you will be fired! Neglect shows that you don't value a thing. Many people have received Jesus, but then neglected fellowshipping with the brethren; they neglected the word of God. They neglected obedience to the word of God and neglected prayers too.

The writer made it clear that there will be no escape for those who neglect this great salvation. God in sundry times spoke to His people by prophets but in this last days has spoken to us by His Son whom He has made heir of all things. It was the Lord who gave us this great salvation which was confirmed to us by those that heard Him. It is a not a fake. It is real! If those who disobeyed the messages spoken by angels sent by the Lord received a just punishment, how can they escape who neglect such great salvation announced by the Lord Himself?

I encourage you today to build yourself in your faith; build others. Preach the word of God in season and out of season. Pray always and obey the Lord in all things. This is what you have been called to. Only in this great salvation do we have hope for eternity with Christ. There is no other way to the Father, no other sacrifice remaining for sin apart from the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Knowing this and believing it but then neglecting it is the reason the writer asked, "how can we escape...?"

Do have a great weekend and stay lifted in Him.

Shalom!

MORNING INSPIRATION

(Act 16:24-25 AKJV)
24. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.

25. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Praise the Lord!
The Lord is good. Hallelujah! Paul and Silas found themselves in trouble not because they were sinners or trouble makers but because they were right in the center of God's will for their lives. However, the will of God brought great trouble and distress to their lives. But the God factor in every distress situation is essential. God never left them nor forsake them. Isn't that encouraging?

Note, however, that Paul and Silas never whined or complained in their distress. They prayed and sang hyms to God. Wow! They didn't think about calling for a rescue team from Jerusalem to rescue them; they called to Headquarters to rescue them. Note that the foundation of their problem was first hit and their bonds came off. But it all happened suddenly when they were praying and worshipping God in a prison cell beyond the view of their families and Christian brethren. This is where the trick lies: the source of your trust will determine the result you get.

When you are encompassed by trials and challenges, where do you turn to for help? Paul and Silas turned to heaven. That was a smart move, wasn't it? If you will pray and worship God today in that situation, the Lord will respond to you and He will respond suddenly. He is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He has not changed.

Shalom!

MORNING INSPIRATION.

Genesis 45:27
"But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived."

Praise the Lord!
Jacob was a sad, old man when he 'lost' his son Joseph to wild beasts. But the loss wasn't true. It was a make up and a cover up, to deceive Jacob. However, years later, we see that Joseph sent evidence to his father that he was alive. It was not only the message which Joseph sent to his father that revived Jacob but also the evidence, the wagons! Hallelujah!

This week God will give an evidence of something you gave up on to prove to you that you didn't lose it in the first place. And that evidence will revive your spirit in Jesus' name. Amen!

Shalom!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
(Isa 6:8 KJV)

Praise the Lord!
After seeing the glory of the Lord, Isaiah realised that he had unclean lips for he said, "I'm a man of unclean lips." Hallelujah! But then Isaiah's iniquity was taken away and his sin purged (Isa 6:7). The Lord had mercy on Isaiah because he confessed his sin. This was followed by a call: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
(Isa 6:8). Beloved, note that the Lord asked "whom Shall I send...?" Kindly note that when Isaiah saw the Lord, he confessed his sin and he was cleansed of his iniquity and sin. Immediately, the Lord asked, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Even in this dispensation preachers are asking the same question on pulpits across the nations, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'

However, we see a change in this pattern in the gospels. Just before His ascension to heaven, the Lord gave an instruction to His disciples: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mk 16:15 KJV). In this dispensation, the Lord is not asking, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" But He is saying, "Go..." Go to the lost in your family; go to the lost in your neighbourhood; go to the lost in your workplace, in your school/college; go to the lost in your business place. "Go...," the Lord Jesus said.

Beloved, our fulfilling the Great Commision begins with our 'going'. The Lord Jesus came to us and we too have to go to the lost. If you wait for them to come to you, you might wait in vain. Don't wait until lost souls have spiritual challenges before they come to you seeking solution to their challenges. Good as that may seem, the instruction is to 'go' to them. More often than not, those who come looking for solution in the Church to their challenges rarely believe in Jesus Christ. Such people come to the Church only for miracles and then go back to their religion and old ways. Isn't that a sad thing? They may receive miracles but they are bound with the cords of sin, without hope and without God in the world. They have no hope because they don't have the hope of glory, "Christ in me..." All of us who now have Christ were at one time without hope and without God in the world (Eph 2:12). Like others, we were by nature the children of wrath (Eph 2:3). If even you have no reason to go to the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ, remember that you were once a lost soul without hope and without God in this world but you were shown mercy, you were cleansed because the gospel was preached to you and you believed. Hallelujah!

In conclusion, I encourage you to go to the lost as instructed in the gospel. Waiting for some preacher to ask, "Whom shall I send..." might not move you to take action on the Great Commision. May the Lord fill our hearts with compassion for the lost. And may we receive the grace that will stir us to obey the 'Go' in Mark 16:15 in Jesus' name. Amen!

Shalom!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
(Rev 1:18 KJV)

Praise the Lord!
We see the Lord Jesus declare in Rev 1:18 that He liveth and was dead. Whoever was burried, resurrected from the dead and spoke to people telling them that "he liveth and was dead?" This verse of scripture confirms the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus more vividly to us; he that was dead is speaking again to us. Hallelujah! Without Jesus' resurrection, our faith is in vain and we are yet in our sins. (1Cor 15:17). The attack on Christ's death is an attack on our salvation, making it null and void.

However, brethren, note that the enemy does not attack you for nothing. He attacks your purpose. There is a man (Mohammad) who claimed to be the 'seal' of the prophets. He also claimed that the Lord Jesus did not die. And that the disciple who betrayed Jesus died in His place. But note that this verse of scripture in Rev. 1:18 was delivered to Apostle John and documented thereafter even before Mohammad came with his 'prophecies'. This fact proves that Mohammed's prophecies were unfounded. What a prophecy! Lord have mercy.

Beloved, there are hundreds of millions out there who have been deceived by Mohammed's 'prophecies'. Will you let them die in darkness because they once believed the lie? No! You don't have to. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. Jude in his epistle in Jude verses 22 and 23 exhorted us "to show compassion and to save others with fear, pulling them out of the fire." They are already in the fire dear beloved. The word that will bring them out of that fire is right in your mouth. Reach out to them today and declare it to them. This is our duty to the lost. There is no better gift you can give to them than the gift of salvation. May the Lord empower us to do His will today and always.

Shalom!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

"The LORD God fashioned garments from *animal skins* *for Adam and his wife* , and clothed them."
(Gen 3:21 ISV)

Praise the Lord!
After the fall of Adam and Eve, the Lord made coats of skins and clothes them. 'Coats of skin' can only come from an animal that has been killed before. Blood has flowed. This refers to the one sacrifice of Christ, to His blood and death, and that this sacrifice is given by God Himself. Only through the blood of the Lord Jesus is forgiveness of sins possible (Acts 9:22), only through the death of the Lord Jesus is a person reconciled to God (Rom5:10). Whoever believes in Him and His works is now clothes with Christ!

Beloved, also note that the first gospel message wasn't preached in words but in an act of kindness and mercy; the Lord slew an animal to cover the nakedness of fallen man. The gospel message should not be preached only in words but also in acts of kindness. In the garden of Eden, it was an animal that God gave to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve but 2,000 years ago He gave His only begotten son so that whoever believes in Him shall be clothed with Christ (Gal 3:27). Hallelujah!

In conclusion, I would like to encourage you to add to your preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ acts of kindness to those you are preaching to. Acts of kindness touches the hearts of the receivers in ways you can not imagine. This is the pattern that has been handed down to us. We would do better if we follow it.

As we go about preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ this week, may all grace abound to us in Jesus' name. Amen!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

15. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
(Eph. 5:15-16 KJV)

Praise the Lord!
Brethren, the days are evil and there are so many distractions around us. These distractions are coming from the world. As a child of God, you have to be wise. You have to identify distractions and avoid them because they are a complete waste of time. Remember that time is a factor in everything we do. Therefore, we must not use our time frivolously.

Going out to preach the gospel of Jesus to last souls takes time. And there are many things out there that demand out time too. Most of these things are not sinful but they have no eternal value. This is why we must be wise; we must save time to go about the work of our Father. Now, tell me, if you don't go about the work of your Father, who else do you think is going to do it? Can't you see that the worldlings are going about their father's work? Their father 'sinneth from the beginning' and they are doing what their father is doing all the time.

Beloved, we are a light to this generation. If we fail to light our communities and nations, darkness may grow thicker right under our watch. May it never be said of us that our light could not push back darkness. Every investment the Lord has on us is for the purpose of our salvation and the salvation of others.

May we redeem the time today as we seek to do the will of the father in Jesus' name. Amen.

Shalom!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Rom 10:13 KJV)

The verse of scripture above gives an unlimited range of those who should call on the name of the Lord for salvation-whoever. It is interesting to note that both Jews and Gentiles could call on the name of the Lord and be saved. Imagine that you were not a Gentile and that only Gentiles had the sole privilege of calling on the name of the Lord for salvation? Isn't that scary? Thank God everyone has the privilege of calling on the name of the Lord.

To be saved, you must call on the name of the Lord. This simply means that you must acknowledge the Lord as the Sovereign Lord who is gracious and merciful to forgive sinners. Everyone needs to be saved from their sin. Therefore, everyone needs to call on the name of the Lord.

However, this good news of calling on the Lord and receiving salvation from Him must be taken to everyone who needs to call on the name of the Lord. The lost must hear the gospel first before they could believe it. This is very important. There is where our duty lies! We must take the gospel to someone whose soul is crying out for Salvation from the wages of death. The gospel of Jesus is in your mouth now. Open your mouth wide and declare it. I encourage you today to remember the Lord had to come to us and give himself up for our sin. Remember that He had to come to us and we need to go to others who need salvation. Be strong and courageous knowing that He who promised to be with you as you go about preaching His gospel is faithful to do as He promised.

Shalom!

THE REALITY OF SALVATION

"And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus."
(Act 4:18)

Faith is the channel through which we believe the gospel of Jesus Christ and are saved. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So the enemy knows how lost souls are saved and he seeks to attack the process: "don't speak or teach in the name of Jesus Christ." This instruction runs contrary to the Lord's command in the gospel: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mk16:15)

Now, your failure to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to lost souls may not mean that you are obeying the instruction to "not preach in the name of Jesus Christ", but you are simply ignoring the command of the Lord Jesus, to "preach the gospel to all creature".

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." (Act 4:12 NIV). When the gospel is not preached in the of the Lord, there will be no conviction. So the enemy's strategy is thus:

1. Don't preach
2. Don't preach in the name of Jesus

Apostle Peter's words in Act 4:19, "...judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God" should challenge us and move us to the do right thing. Whatever voice that is telling you, 'you are not qualified, your are not eloquent, you are not called to preach, you are financially poor to preach is to be ignored with determination. Preaching the gospel in the name of Jesus is the way sinners are saved.

May the Lord pour His Spirit upon us afresh to empower us to proclaim the gospel to all who need to hear it. Then, go and bless souls.

Shalom!
