One Word, 11th April 2014

Please meditate: "Don't subscribe to the concept "there's still time" or "maybe some other time", because there's also the concept of "its too late".

Our God is the author and symbol of Perfection. He's the God of perfect timing: He's never late or early, but always on time. In the same way, God wants us to work according to His divine timing for our lives. In life's journey, it is important to bé where God wants us to bé at every point and even more crucial to bé there on time. Thats why you must not procastinate or fellowship with time wasters. Remember, there's time for everything and God makes everything beautiful, but only in its time. Shalom.

PARADOX OF OUR TIME

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values;

We love too seldom, and hate too often.

We have learned to make a living but not a life.

We have added years to life not life to years.

We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.

We have conquered outer space but not inner space.

We have done larger things but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air but polluted the soul;

We’ve conquered the atom, but not inner prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but achieve less.

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.                                                                  

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

Please meditate on this: "Jesus Chose Fishermen and not Princes to be His disciples"

God uses the willing and available and not necessarily the qualified and able. He qualifies those he chooses and does not opt for those who feel they're qualified and adequate. That's why he went for 'ordinary' fishermen as against the 'royal' princes of the time. Do you feel unsuitable, unqualified and ordinary? Just yeild yourself to Him and he'l do wonders through you. Do you feel capable and qualified? Humble yourself before the lord and He'l use you for His glory. Shalom

My mates are getting married.

My mates are getting good jobs.

My mates are succeeding.

My mates are living overseas.

My mates are buying cars.

My mates are building houses.

My mates are this......my mates are that......

It's a pity you literally forgot about your mates in the mortuary, your

mates in the psychatric homes, your mates are roaming on the streets,

your mates are jobless, hungry, blind, deaf..........

You might not be where you wish to be but you have obviously

transcended from where you were yesterday.

Be thankful.

Some slept yesterday and didn't wake up today?We're sinners but GOD showed mercy? GOD still has plans for you. Some of your mates are there in jail without committing any crime? You ate last night but some didn't or couldn't? You have work and sources for daily living while some have nothing to look up to. You are not alive because you are faithful or because you have never sinned before but it is the MERCY of GOD that kept you alive. INDEED GOD LOVES YOU. Appreciate GOD

Please meditate on this: "Jesus didnt preach to tell you to turn over a new leaf but to turn you to a new life.- Reinhard Bonnke"

Any effort expended in watering a plant whose leaves appear wrinkled would yeild no results if the root of that plant is irretrievably damaged. That's why Jesus came not to cause a surface transformation in our lives, but to deal with the 'Root Cause' of our struggles and give us a new life. No matter how you 'panelbeat' the old life/oldman, it cannot satisfy God's standards of holiness- However, If any man be in christ, He's a brand new creation- the old things are past and everything's new.

"The secret to successful married life":

I once asked my friend, "What is the secret behind your happy married life?"He replied, "You should share responsibilities with due love, and respect each other. Then absolutely there will be no problem. I asked, "Can you explain?" He said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues whereas my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions." . .Still not convinced, I asked me him to give me some examples. He said, "Smaller issues like how many kids to have, the neighborhood to live, which car we should buy, how much money to save, who, when and where to visit, which sofa, cooker, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not, where to go for holidays, whose mum we should visit etc, are decided by my wife. I just agree to it.I then asked, "So then what is your role?" .He said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, the uranium enrichment in North Korea, whether Britain should lift sanctions against Zimbabwe, how to fully exploit Africa's economic and intellectual potential, whether Yoweri Museveni and Barack Obama should retire, whether Arsenal FC needs to buy new players or change their coach to improve their play, whether Usain Bolt should retire now-while still at his prime etc, etc. My wife never objects to any of these decisions and we live happily!"

One Word - 3rd April, 2014 (Morning)

Please meditate on this: "God Never alters the Robe of Righteousness to fit the man: He alters the man to fit the Robe of Righteousness."

God's standards are unchanging even in an ever changing/evolving world. Any hope God could lower his expectations to suit the times? NOT A CHANCE. Remember, We are in the world but certainly not of the world- there are simply no excuses for compromise and sin- If the apostles of old could hold on, why cant we? Shalom

Isn't it strange how N500 seems like such a large amount when we give it as offering, BUT such a small amount when you go shopping? 

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you are at place of worship BUT how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're to make supplication to God, BUT you have no trouble thinking of what to gist about with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Scripture, BUT how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or magazine?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts, film house or games, BUT they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in holy gatherings?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in Paradise, BUT they don't want to believe the teaching of the Bible or obey what it commands as the way to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in emails, BBM, Whatsapp, BCs and they are forwarded right away, BUT when we are going to share messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others? 

Have a pleasant Day friends.
