Hello brethren... 👋🏿

Pray that you're well today and that God continues to bless you in many ways....

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
(James 4:7‭-‬8 NKJV)

We are as close to God as we choose to be.....He draws near to those who choose to draw near to him and the opposite is also true.

It is very wise to get close to God and have Him close to Us..A Life with God close is also a very successful one in every way!!

Let's strive to get rid of those things that keep Us away from Him!!

Blessed day🙏🏿

Hello brethren,

I pray that you are keeping on well.

The rejected Saviour - Man's only hope (Isaiah 53:3 - 4)

3 min Read!

Instead of accepting Jesus as the longed for Messiah, the people “despised, and rejected him”because he was a “man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised; and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3-4).

By the world’s standards of wealth, Riches and beauty, Jesus was a sad sight to look upon and When He came on the scene He was “despised,” because even his physical appearance was not appealing.
The people’s estimation of Jesus was as nothing. They did not see Him for who he was. They only saw him through the physical eyes that were spiritually blinded by the world’s standards and view of God, success and might.

Truly, He came to His own and His own did not receive Him. (John 1:11)

Sadly, many people continue to reject Jesus today Matthew 7:13, 21-23 even by not humbly accepting His testimony that He is the Son of God, the saviour of the World 1 John 2:2, John 3:16 Mark 16:15-16

I wonder how you feel about Jesus today......(John 1:1,14)

I wonder if you live your daily life with God as your number 1......Matt 6:33, Matthew 22:37

I wonder if you have prepared for eternity after this short life.....James 4:14, Rev 21:4, John 14:1-4

I wonder if you have been buried (in Baptism)and thus united together with Him in the likeness of His death in Baptism. Rom 6:3 -6

I wonder if you truly believe that Jesus Christ build only one Church and that He will save when He comes back Matthew 16:18, Acts 2:47,Ephesians 4:4, Ephesians 5:23

We don't have forever to choose to obey Jesus....He is the author of salvation to all who obey Him (Heb 5:8)

May God bless you as you meditate about these things that guarantee us eternal life in Heaven 🙏🏿

REJOICING IN THE LORD AT ALL TIMES - (Hab 3:18)

5 Min read.

I encourage you all to read the post below...Just five minutes to nourish your spirit!

Habakkuk is a recorded conversation and prayer between the prophet and Jehovah God. Habakkuk does not understand why God has ignored his complaint against Judah (Hab. 1:2-3). The prophet complains that Judah continues in their violence, perversion, and God seems to be not taking any action (Hab. 1:4). Jehovah answers Habakkuk’s complaint by revealing His sovereignty over all creation and the kingdoms of men. God will punish Judah by “raising up the Chaldeans/Babylonians” to great power (Hab. 1:6).Judah would not get away with her sin. What's even hard to understand for Habbakuk is how a Holy and just God could use a wicked nation like Babylon to accomplish His will. The final chapter of Habakkuk is a prayer of the prophet to God. Habakkuk’s conversation with God has proved beneficial. He now understands better the sovereignty of God and then prays. He recognizes that God’s will is to destroy the wicked of Judah with a nation of greater wickedness than they. His conclusion is one of the greatest statements of faith found in the Bible.“For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; and he maketh my feet like hinds feet, and will make me to walk upon my high places” (3:17-19). Habakkuk knows by faith that Jehovah’s judgment was coming through the wicked and ruthless Babylonians and Judah's fig trees and vines shall have nothing Hab 3:17. What shall the people do? The prophet tells us what he shall do. “Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” Such wonderful words of faith ought to motivate us all to such a blessed state of obedience unto the Lord.
Today even though most people are not careful about it, Divine revelation reveals a day of God’s wrath being poured out upon the ungodly and wicked of this world (Rom. 2:3). What manner of man ought I to be in this present world? (2 Peter 3:11) (2 Thes 1:7-9)
Whether men believe it or not, Whether men want to hear it or not, The Day of Judgment surely comes.(2 Peter 3:10)
In view of that, Shall I lay up treasures only on this earth? (Matthew 6:19 - 21) Shall I give up a life of godliness because of another brother’s discouraging remarks? Shall I give up my faith for the world’s goods, pleasures, and pride? Shall I murmur and complain in tough and challenging times?
May we at all times like Habakkuk say “Yet will I rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”
Faith in God and His promises is the very thing that keeps Christians today strong in this wicked and godless society that we live in. Let the righteous today “live by his faith” and look to the eternal promises of God Titus 1:2.
Forgiveness of sins by the blood of Jesus Christ Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16 will be our ticket into the eternal heavens with the Lord.
One day the glorified saints of God shall walk upon the high places of Jehovah God in heaven. (Rev 21:4) (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

Blessed month of September to all and Let us rejoice in the Lord always. (PhilIipians 4:4)

GENESIS 1:1-25 –GOD ESTEEM OF ONESELF. 2 Minute read

God introduces Himself to the World in Genesis Chapter 1 and does things that clearly reveal to us that He is God Almighty. He speaks words and animals, the universe, plants and so much more is created. Each creation day starts with “And God said” and when He spoke, things were created. What unfathomable power and wisdom. We are also told that everything He created was good. And God saw that everything He created was good. Gen 1:4,10,12….
When it comes to creating man, we are told that He created Man in His own Image…. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26–28 ESV)
We are made in the image of God and therefore our worth is not measured by what we own or what people say about us. Now this is to be a comforting idea for every human being. Our worth is not based on what we own, what we look like, where we are from, what we have done, what people think of us, how much power we have or do not have, or what our ethnicity is. No metric that we come up with is a proper metric for our worth or self-valuation. Our true worth lies in the fundamental truth that: we were made in God’s image and that is the main reason why we are valuable. Everything else is secondary and a bonus. We are valuable because God made us in His image and gave us a purpose to represent Him on the earth.
The world wants us to see ourselves based on our Worldly accomplishments but What God says about us is all we need to feel good about ourselves.
He says that He made us in His own image and that we are fearfully and wonderfully! (Psalm 139:14)

Blessings to all and Blessed Month of August Ahead!

30/07/2022

Good evening, here is our two minute Daily Inspiration.
WAYS IN WHICH WE SIN- 2 minute read!

There are several ways that we can sin against God.
First, As creator of the universe and mankind, God Has the right to tell us what to do and what we are not supposed to do.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: "adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness [thinking and practicing immoral things], idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:19-21).

When we do these things, we have sinned. We have done that which God told us not to do.
Second, we sin by not doing that which God Has told us we are supposed to do.
God has told us what to do to be pleasing to Him. It is all written in the Bible. When we do not do what God says to do, then we are guilty of sin. God has told Christians to worship Him on Sunday, the first day of the week. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25). When we do not worship God on Sunday especially when nothing is stopping us we sin. There are many other commands that God has given for us to do. We must read God's will in the Bible to learn what God says and then strive to do what He says.Then we must do them.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
(James 4:17 NKJV)

There are many ways in which Christians fall short and sin but thank God for the blood of Jesus which cleanses us continually as we strive to live godly and Holy lives. (1 John 1:7)

Blessings to all 🙏🏿

Hello all, trusting that you are well.

Here is our Daily Inspiration.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF SIN - 3 min read!
Everything Has a source and so does sin. When God created the first man Adam in His own image and His helper Eve. Gen 1:27, Gen 2:7,Gen 2:8 He put them in the garden and gave them instructions of what to do and what not to do and being the good God He is, He even let them know that the consequences of doing what they had been asked not to do would be death. Gen 2:16 - 17

Man seemed to be doing well with the instructions given by God until the evil one, the devil, that Old serpent Rev 12:9, the Father of all lies, the murderer John 8:44 came in and deceived him through the woman. (Gen 3:1 - 6)

So as the narrative goes, the woman was deceived 1 Tim 2:14 and consequently, the man also was enticed by the woman and that is how Sin entered the World right at the beginning and it continues to enslave men and women hopelessly but there is hope from this slavery through Christ. We must always remember that the consequence of sin by the commandment of God is death. Gen 2:17, Romans 6:23.

Paul by inspiration of the Holy Spirit confirms the same in His writings when He says," Therefore just as through one man sin entered the World, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because all sinned - (Romans 5:12)

Sin is therefore a pandemic that was brought into the World through the first man and as the song goes and rightly so nothing can wash our sins away but the blood of Jesus Ephesians 1:7 and that precious blood washes our sins away when we believe in Jesus as the Son of God John 8:24, Mark 16:15 - 16, and that He died for our sins, was buried and rose again 1 Cor 15:1 - 4, Repent of our past Sins Acts 2:38, Acts 17:30, Confess that Christ is who He claimed He was, the Son of God Acts 8:37 and be Baptized/immersed/buried in water for the remission of our past sins. Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21, Romans 6:3 - 6.

If we NEVER understand anything else in the Bible, May we strive to understand this plan of God to save us from slavery to Sin and when we do so and be Faithful to the end, He has promised that Heaven will be our eternal dwelling place and what else is there if Heaven will not be our eternal Home after this life!! Ever thought about that?
I hope this blesses us all and if you're interested in further studies on the same, feel free to reach out!!
Smile God loves you .........Blessings to you 🙏🏿

TRUTH ABOUT SIN - PART 1

WHAT IS SIN?

John says ". . . sin is lawlessness, breaking the law (1 John 3:4). Again, he says that *mAll unrighteousness is sin (1 John 5:17).
Every nation has laws. When a person does not obey these laws, he has done wrong. God has laws which we are to obey. These laws are found in the Bible. When we do not obey God’s law, we sin. All mature people who know the difference between right and wrong have sinned.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

We must always look out for sin. Sin is deceitful.
"But exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin" (Hebrews 3:13).

God hates sin but loves the sinners. Let us, therefore, not be deceived by it.

The encouragement in this message is to remind us all what Sin is so we may always strive to do the right thing especially as it relates to pleasing God!!

Blessings to all!!

WHY IS CHRIST COMING AGAIN?
2 MINUTE READ! DAILY INSPIRATION

The Bible gives several reasons why Christ is coming again. One thing that is clearly taught in the Bible is that He is coming to judge the World.. Some people believe that once a person dies, that's it and there is nothing else after that. Others teach and believe that everyone will go to Heaven. Well these are opinions of men and the Bible doesn't agree with them. There is going to be a judgment after this life. See Heb 9:27, 2 Cor 5:10, Romans 14:12 and not everyone is going to Heaven but only those who Obey the Lord Jesus Christ Heb 5:8-9 and His gospel 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 and lie Faithfully after that to the end. Rev 2:10

The Bible says, "The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation" (John 5:28,29).

All faithful, obedient Christians will meet Christ in the air. From there they will go to Heaven with Him. " For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).

When Christ comes again, He will deliver up the kingdom to God. "Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power" (1 Corinthians 15:24).

The world will be destroyed at the second coming of Christ. "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).

When Christ comes again, people will no longer live on the earth. The earth will be burned up by fire according to the scriptures!!

That is why we MUST store up our treasures in Heaven Matthew 6:19-21 and set our minds on things above and not on things of the earth. (Colossians 3:1- 4)

Blessings to all!

Greetings, here is our Daily Inspiration

HOW IS JESUS GOING TO COME BACK - 2 minute read.

The apostles were told by the angels that Jesus would return the same way He went into Heaven. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11).

Some people believe some parts of the Bible but they don't want to talk about the second coming of Christ which is also taught in the same Bible and which is also going to be the greatest day mankind will ever see. Some even teach that Jesus has already returned.
However that teaching cannot be true because when Jesus comes everybody shall know about it even the dead. The Bible says, "Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen" (Revelation 1:7).
Has Jesus returned yet? Have you seen Him? No! When Jesus comes again, every one will see Him. Those in the cities will see Him. Those in the villages will see Him. No one will miss seeing Him even the dead shall be raised!

Again, we are told that when Christ returns He will be heard by everyone. "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

We are also told that He will also come in flaming fire with His mighty angels. 2 Thessalonias 1:7-8

Dear friends, Are you ready for this great day? If not why Not? Please just as we prepare for things here in this life (which are only temporary) Let us strive to prepare for the after life even eternal life in Heaven when Jesus comes back. Don't be left out when He comes. You don't want to miss out on Heaven.....

Smile Jesus loves you !!

Blessings to all!

Daily Two Minute Inspiration,

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned
(Mark 16:15‭-‬16 NKJV)

Most people don't believe this verse and thus they say that one can be' saved without being Baptised and thus making Jesus sound like He did not know what he was saying. No one can disobey Jesus and be' saved for he is the authour of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him. Heb 5:8-9.

To God be' the glory!!

Make Jesus’ Name and His Love Go Viral!

Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word” (Acts 8:4 NKJV).

We live in exciting times! Information is available at our fingertips. People from all over the world can communicate with us in a matter of seconds! The same is true for us! We too can communicate with others instantly. We should take advantage of this age of Social Media to use our profiles on the various platforms out there to do good instead of the ungodly things that the World is doing! We should not care about posting selfies when people are spiritually dying out there!

We should not be overly concerned with Worldy things when there are souls to be saved!

We should not be concerned with making outfit-of-the-day videos when there are many out there who are not clothed in their wedding garment of righteousness which means they are not saved and thus not prepared for judgment Heb 9:27 and for eternity in heaven (Matthew 22:1-14)

Of course, there is nothing wrong with having good clean fun on Social Media, but the challenge in this message is for all Christians to take our efforts to be a Social Media influencer to the spiritual level. Use your influence to direct people to the Word of God through Christ instead! That is where our interest and efforts should be! (Matthew 6:33) (Col 3:1 - 4)

Just like the Christians in the 1st century days, Let Us work together and not against each to make the name of Jesus go viral!!!

The reward shall be' great here even in the Life to come eternal life 1 Cor 15:58, Matthew 19:29.

Blessings to all!!

To God be' the glory!!

Two Minute Daily Inspiration

Life Is Too Short Do It Now!
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a v***r that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that”(James 4:13-15 NKJV).

The reality of life is that it is very brief. Even if someone lives to be 100 years old, that is a brief amount of time when compared to eternity!

The truth of the matter is that we do not know how long we will live here on earth! Furthermore, we do not know how long others will live! We often miss opportunities to adequately spend time with loved ones; especially parents. This is because we are often being selfish with our time or we allow so many other distractions to get in the way of spending time with our loved ones! Before we know it, they are gone! They have been taken on to their reward in eternity.

So that you don’t have regrets in life, prioritize your loved ones in this lifetime! You won’t have them forever on earth! They won't have us forever either.

So, when you think about visiting your loved ones, don’t put it off! Do it now! If you know that you are to help them in any way, don’t put it off! Do it now! We are responsible for our parents,siblings and grandparents’ welfare as Christians (Matthew 15:3-6; 1 Timothy 5:3-8)! If there is a phone call you need to make in order to keep in touch, don’t put it off! Do it now! Life is short and brief! You don’t want regrets.

Above all if there is anyone you want to tell the truth about the Gospel of Jesus and Heaven, Do It now for Jesus is coming soon and people are dying without knowing Him. (2 Thessalonians 1:7- 10) Mark 16:15-16

If there is any good you want to do,Please do It now and you won't have regrets.

Blessings to all!!
