The tragic effects of sin : fish out of water 🐳

 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 free...

The goal of life πŸ₯…

 If I was to ask you what is the goal of life, what would your response be πŸ€”? 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 πŸ‘°πŸΎπŸ€΅πŸΎwho 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 ...

Seeking for prosperity as the end creeps upon us

 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 πŸ€”?  " 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...

A way that seems right to a man

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...
