Uncertainty of the Future - Part 2

To know the future is another kind of pride, it is arrogance, it poisoned us, and it is a waste of life. Do not challenge the Lord by not recognizing him in our life and whatever you are doing, know God. Yes God gives us freedom but there are consequences for not trusting Him. When we make plans and ask God to give us direction that is wisdom. When we make plans without taking God into consideration that is presumption.

Uncertainty of the Future - Part 1

When you look at our surroundings there are things that are happening beyond our grasp. That is why mankind always demonstrated unquenchable desire to know the future. That is why a lot of people go to psychics, a lot of people read horoscopes, some people are obsessed trying to learn the future but the truth of the matter is none of us know the future.

Sacred Scars of Smyrna Part 2

The effect of prosperity to Christian churches today is prayerlessness. Let’s give respect to the suffering individuals and similar suffering churches around the world like Smyrna. We don’t know who is life is at stake because of their faith in Christ. We are too comfortable and we too have not come to the point of gaining scars for Christ sake.

Sacred Scars of Smyrna Part 1

Smyrna is a church that is well acquainted of what is suffering is. Not that they liked it but they learned from it. As a result of that they received a letter from our Lord Jesus given to the angel a letter of affirmation, a letter of encouragement. The Lord is so close, near, and intimate for those who suffer for His sake.

Modern Gods - Part 2

Even if they are still there, the material is intact, the seminaries, strategies are there, but, if love to Christ is gone, everything is gone. Take it so seriously, God was asking the Ephesian church to repent not just to be busy. Not just work their lives until death for the work sake, but to remember that the Lord is so interested with His workers rather than just his work.

Modern Gods - Part 1

Love is very essential in our relationship with our Lord, it is our identity, our Father loves us but it should not stop there. We aught to love God also, but we cannot out-love Him, that’s a reality. Like in the time of Apostle John the love that is intended to God has a lot of rivals even today. Though we are Christians a lot of time of worship is so tainted but unknown or known to us, we find our identity on idols and not on the living God.

The Journey Back To Your First Love - Part 2

Even if they are still there, the material is intact, the seminaries, strategies are there, but, if love to Christ is gone, everything is gone. Take it so seriously, God was asking the Ephesian church to repent not just to be busy. Not just work their lives until death for the work sake, but to remember that the Lord is so interested with His workers rather than just his work.

The Journey Back To Your First Love - Part 1

Jesus gave a letter to Ephesus that contained a credit to what they did right. God is faithful and fair. He will not forget your labor of love. Men will, churches might not remember, but God won’t. So He wrote, giving sincere commendation to what the Ephesians did right, side by side with the complaint. In a nutshell the complaint goes like this, you have left your first love and went on by saying if you will not hear and repent I will remove your lamp stand. The removal of the lamp stand is simply saying your church is still going on with activities but you are no longer a blessing to the nation.

Rekindling My First Love - Part 2

When relationship is routine, it is tiring and most often there is a love quarrel. But there is a period of cool off. I think like in our relationship with Jesus, the fire of our faith in between went down. You know that, even when a guy doesn’t talk, and he is still a gentleman, he is on time on a date and still brings gifts, yet the girl can sense his true presence, the girl can sense the guy’s heart. The same with our relationship with our Lord as He said in the church of Ephesus, you’re here but when you look at Me, I cannot feel your warmness, you’re not the same one as you were before.

Rekindling My First Love - Part 1

Who is your first love? How can you worship a God as you read the scripture in Revelation 1:12-16 “that out of His mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.” John trembled, he is already familiar with Jesus’ walk as the Incarnate One and now the Glorified One. Yet John was assured with this, “I Am the First and the Last, I am the Living One, I died but look I am alive forever and I hold the keys of death and grave.” And so he recovered because Jesus appeared to him not to spare him but to assign him a task.
