THINK ABOUT IT

 Many false preachers are going around preaching a gospel of lawlessness. They are preaching that the death of Christ abolished the law of God,  the 10 commandments. They claimed that we are saved by grace and as a result have no need to keep the law. This false gospel has resulted in great weakness to christianity, chaos in the lives of Christians and chaos in the world. The question is can life exist without laws 🤔? Law is integral to life. Law defines how something is to operate. You can't do anything in life without laws. Lets take a look on how important laws are to every function. Let's start from the worst of things, criminal organizations. Criminals organizations have laws and the violation of their laws by their members can have severe consequences  . For example in the United States we have two infamous gangs, the crips and the bloods. The crips wear the color blue and the bloods wear the color red. Wearing the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood can get you in tro

 When you ask someone, what do you want to be in life ? Many will answer I want to be successful, I want to make money, I want to be a doctor, a nurse, an athlete, a politician etc..But rarely do we find someone say I want to live for Christ and be whatever He calls me to be. And rarely do we find people saying that, because from youth up we have been taught to live for self and not for the glory of God.  The glory of God is the last thing in the minds of majority of people, if its there at all. Living for self will result in fustration and misery.  But living for the glory of God brings true fulfillment and increasing joy. You are too small to bring satisfaction and fulfillment to yourself . We are too ignorant to know what will truly fulfill us . We didn't make ourselves and so we have no idea of what will truly satisfy us. Which is why the things we thought would satisfy usually leave us empty and miserable.  You are beautiful now and everyone comment on your pictures,but soon y

 Christmas season is here again and a joyous mood is in the air 🌲. Everywhere you go, decorations are set up, lights and Christmas music playing on the radio. The store owners are celebrating ,because during Christmas tine they received a lot of gifts 🎁 from customers spending money on all sorts of material things to bring gifts to loved ones. In the work place you have gift exchanges,  Christmas parties, Christmas dinners and at night you have people going to the clubs, getting drunk, getting sexually loose while celebrating Christmas, the supposes supposed birthday of Christ the Savior 🤦🏾‍♂️. Christmas seemed to be the one celebration about "Christ" that both the heathens world and church folks like. On Christmas day, the world and the church gather together to celebrate. Christians and wordly people  dress up and share pictures on social media. In Christmas we find a union between pagans and Christians, truth and error.  We find a mixture of truth and error and maybe

 I would like to address you who have come to a knowledge of the truth. You are young in the faith, and there is great need of your walking humbly with God, and of learning daily in the school of Christ by dwelling particularly in meditation and conversation upon lessons which He gave to His disciples. Walk in all humility of mind, distrustful of self, seeking wisdom from the God of wisdom, that all your ways and methods may be in firm and close connection with the ways and the will of God, that there may be no confusion... We must never forget how hard it is to remove long cherished errors from the minds of men, which have been taught from childhood. We must bear in mind that earth is not heaven and that there will be discouragements to meet and to overcome, but forebearance and tenderness and pity should be exercised toward all who are in darkness. If we bring them to see the light, it will not be solely by arguments, it must be by the work of the grace of Christ on your own hearts,

 In a world of uncertainty we all are in need of something certain, something we can grab hold of. This world 🌎 is chaotic ! Things can change in a moment. In such a world full of chaos we are all in search of security, something or someone who will give us peace, certainty in the midst of the chaos. For many that someone was a parent 🤱🏽. As a child, the arms of the parent were our safe place. When we cry the loving parent rush to grab hold of us, to soothe us, to let us know I am here, be not afraid, I am here and you are safe. In childhood we grab hold of our parents and they provided a safe place, took care of us. For many of us the last time experienced a safe place in life was really in childhood. As we started going to school we started to realize we were not the center of other people's worlds. Other kids made fun of us, parents started to have less time for us and started to ignore our every tears. And so many of us start to find ourselves drifting into the darkness, lon

 Sex connects you at  a spiritual level with the other person. When done in marriage it connects you with  your  spouse  and glorifies God.  When done outside of marriage it not only connects you with the other person , but also connects you with the demonic spirits influencing you to commit the immoral acts. Sexual sins is one of the fastest ways to connect yourself with the Devil 😱. Sex after all is an act of worship and sexual sins bring demonic spirits into the most intimate union with you. Sexual sins establish a deep spiritual bond with the first person you sleep with. This is why breaking up with the first person you had sex with can have a serious impact on you emotionally, mentally and definitely spiritually.  You feel as if you are being torned apart , as if you are losing a part of yourself.  Truth is you are losing a part of yourselves. There are laws that are established by God. You can think whatever you want, but God's law like gravity cannot be broken. God declared

 Children never ask parents to be made 🤱🏽. You have never a child saying parents please make me. It's a crazy statement right. It is the parents who decide to make children, therefore it is the responsibility of parents to take care of their children, the fruit of the womb 🤱🏽. A parent who bring children into the world and refuse to take care of them is a wicked parent. In our society we have many people running around giving birth to children like rabbits 🐇, living their best lives ,while neglecting to take care of their children. They leave it up to grandparents, to the government to take care of their children for them. These are irresponsible and selfish parents.  Don't have children if you don't want to take care of them and help them. It is not a sin not to have children. Its better not to have children than to bring them into the world and not help them. But it does come a time when a child think he is  grown and has no need of the parent's help. Some childr

 God is faithful and true. In a world of falsehood and unfaithfulness you can always put your trust in the Lord. People will say one thing and do another ,but you can always trust that God will do what He says. God cannot lie and His Word is certain. Even if you don't see it's fulfillment yet, wait on it for in due time it will come to past. God is true in His judgment. God declared to Adam and Eve on the day that you eat of the forbidden tree 🍇 you will surely die. The devil promised Eve that she would not surely die and what happened after Adam and Eve ate of the tree ? Death came into the world. For one man's sin, death passed to all men. Every time you attend a funeral or pass by a cemetary remember God's word , " on the day you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will surely die."  God's Word is true concerning your sins . The Lord says in the book of Ezekiel, " the soul that sin shall die." When you sin, any sin, death co

 God is a lover of beauty. He creates different kinds of beings to display different aspects of His love, different types of beauty. He made the fishes 🐳 for the water , birds for the air, human beings for the earth and angels  for heaven. Each set of creation are guided by different set of rules all tie in to the great law of love. A fish is beautiful in its habitat in the ocean. A bird is beautiful to behold flying through the air.  The eagle cannot survive for long under water because it wasn't made for the water, neither can the fish survive for long on dry land because it wasn't made for the dry land. Imagine one day, a whale 🐳 decides I have been living in this ocean for too long. The world is a big place 🌍, why does God only allow me to swim in the ocean and restrict my freedom? I believe I can have a more fulfilling life on land. I believe I can reach my full potential by being able to go through land and do what I please. This Ocean is a restriction to my freedom, t

 If I was to ask you what is the goal of life, what would your response be 🤔? Some of you would probably say the goal of life is to reach your full potential, others would say it is  to travel the world, some would say it is to eat, drink and be merry. Others, the religious folks would say the goal of life is to " serve God." Some will say it is to find a good spouse 👰🏾🤵🏾who will make you happy. Some will say it is to do all you can to escape pain and suffering. Others will say the goal of life is to accomplish all that you set your heart upon etc.. For different people, the goal of life is different. What is your goal of life ?  I read about this football player 🏈 who said one of the worst moment of his life was the day after he finally achieved his life's goal and won the superbowl. He said he felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness, of despair. And so it is for many of us. We have a goal in life, something we think will make us happy if we were to get it, but if

 I need a spouse as soon as possible. A spouse will complete my life, a spouse will make me whole. I need money, lots of it. My life is miserable because I have no money, I have to do whatever it takes to get money, to provide safety and security for myself .  The more money I have, the more leisure time I will have. Speaking of leisure time, I need to start planning my vacation for the next two years ⛱. Life is short, I need to enjoy it, have a grand time, I only have one life to live. Speaking of one life to live, I need to plan something fun for this weekend, what am I going to do for fun 🤔?  " As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking,  marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." ( Matthew 24: 37 - 39).  Friends, we are here. As

A way that seems right to a man but the end is death. Proverbs  ( Many people) They cannot discern the hidden dangers or the fearful ending of the path that seems to them the way of happiness. - CG 21 The direction you are taking in life today may seem like it will you to happiness, but trust me if it a way contrary to God disaster will be the result. A funny thing about us human beings is that we are ignorant , but think that we know. Its an amazing that the less we know the more stubborn we are and the more we refuse advice or corrections. Young children who know nothing can sometimes be very stubborn. Teenagers who barely know anything concerning life are rebellious and stubborn. Adults who have no knowledge or understanding and who are sometimes living disastrous lives will resist any attempt from someone else to tell them that it is their own way of life that have brought the disaster upon them . No wonder the Bible says " stubbornness is like Idolatry and sorcery." We a

 War has broken out again between the Israelis and the Palestinians! The latest flare up of violence in the long running war between the two people. The latest conflict exploded when Hamas militants from the Gaza strip launched a devastating raid on Israeli border towns killing as of the latest death toll at least 1300 Israelis . It was a terrible lost of lives and an atrocities.The Israeli government has since retaliated with devastating airstrikes that have resulted in at least more than 1200 deaths of Palestinians . Hamas called their operation into Israel " Operation Al aqsa flood," in reference  to Al aqsa mosque .Al aqsa mosque in Jerusalem is the third holiest place in Islam. Al aqsa mosque is built on the temple mount where the old Temple of Bible times used to be before it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Muslims claim that the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven in a vision in that location and so that is holy to Muslim. While the temple mount is also holy to J

 Following politics in the United States in the last few years has been very educational. If one studies the war in heaven, the great controversy between Christ and Satan, we can see a lot of similarities. The US system of political campaign is adversarial by nature. Meaning one party against another. Democrats versus Republicans. The idea behind it is that we need different perspectives in other to have a working democracy,  a working system of governance. But having a system which pit one against another for the purpose of unity may work for a while but it will eventually lead to division and war . Someone said, " democracy has a lifespan of about 200 years and then it devolves into anarchy followed by tyranny." Democracy is mot sustainable in the long term. Democracy can only work in some measure if the people are moral and righteous, but when a people group become immoral and unrighteous as we are in these United States, democracy becomes oppressive. It becomes the tyrann

 Freedom! Who doesn't want to be free? We all want to be free. America is called the land of the free, the home of the brave. The cry of this land is " give me liberty or give me death." Freedom's definition according to the online dictionary is " the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. Liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another: in short to be free is to be independent. We all want to be independent, we all want to be free from the power of others. The problem is such independence simply doesn't exist in reality The truth is there is only one absolutely independent being in the universe, God. God is the only independent being in existence, He is the self existent One and sustain Himself. All other beings in existence are dependent upon God and all other beings are subject to His law. So the idea of being independent and doing your own will without restraint is simply false. God allows us the freedom to do

 God is consistent in His dealings with us! God can be trusted! When carefully studying the actions of God you will see that God can be relied upon. In this life we deal with lots of inconsistencies. Our work change, our neighbors move, our friendship get better or worse, we never know what tomorrow will bring, but the Lord is always the same day in and day out. Consistency builds trust and you can always trust in God, for God is consistent.  God is consistent in His dealings with the disobedient. God annointed Lucifer as the covering Cherub, the highest angel in heaven, the highest created being in the universe. God blessed Him with countless gifts 🎁 and honored him above all other creations. But Lucifer became proud of himself, he refused to serve God, he refused to fulfill the work God had appounted Him and wanted to be God Himself. He rebelled against the Lord and the Lord cast him out of heaven, created the human race to replace the devil and his angels. A second example of God&#

 Jesus said in John 17:3, "this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Many people desire to go to heaven, desire to have eternal life, but they ignore one thing, one crucial thing, eternal life is a life of relationships, a life of love with God. Without love, eternal life would be eternal hell 🔥, and to some degree many of us are experiencing some type of hell on this planet because of the lack of loving relationships.  God is love! Heaven is about relationships. Eternal life is about having an eternal loving relationship with God, Jesus Christ,  angels, each other  and all of God's other creations throughout the unfallen world. But we know that sin began in heaven, sin began in a place of love. So what is sin then ? Sin is the opposite of love . Sin is selfishness. Sin is doing things that destroy relationship with God for the sake of selfish purposes. Lucifer, the covering cherub was created perfect, meaning

 God is love ! God is compassionate, merciful, gracious, abounding in goodness and in truth. God loves you, God loves me. God loves me with an inginite love. A love that will take me eternity to begin to understand. God loves more than I can ever love myself, than anyone can ever love me. God so loves me and you that He would rather die than lose us for eternity.  God's love for me and you is incomprehensible . God loves you!  But sin has created a breach of trust between us and God so that we now see the loving Creator as someone who is seeking to destroy us. The moment Adam and Eve sinned, their perception of God changed. As before they used to come to God, now they fled from His presence. They used to enjoy His presence, now they hide from Him for fear that He would destroy them. But God did not come after them to destroy them, but He came after them to save them from ruin, to give them a promise of hope , and to lay down His life for them.  But many of us are continuing in the

 What is the real problem with me, with us and society 🤔? Is it mental health? Is it economic? Is it loneliness? Is it lack of education? Is it physical health etc..? While all these things are problems, they are only symptoms of the real problem. The real problem with us is not physical at all. The real problem with us is spiritual and has always been. The real problem with us is separation from God, the source of life ! Right after Adam and Eve had sinned, they realized something they never felt before. They realized they were naked, nature seemed to change and Adam and Eve quickly sought to cover their nakedness with fig leaves. But what was the real issue with Adam and Eve 🤔? Was it a physical issue ? Was it a mental issue ? Was it an issue of the environment? No! Adam and Eve had a spiritual issue ,but they sought a physical solution to a spiritual issue ," fig leaves." So what was the real issue with Adam and Eve 🤔? The real issue was separation from God. Adam and Ev
