  • WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?

    WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?
    Jul 1 2025
    (Lockdown Before Sundown)

    While man is making plans for life, life also makes plans for man. Nobody knows the last goodbye, the last wish, the last sigh, the last breath, or the last deed under the sun. Many are those who made plans for the day, the month, and even the entire year. In just one moment, just an eye blink, just a flash, the gloomy side of life has made mobile men immobile and sojourners "paralyzed".

    All of a sudden, flights have been reduced to the ground, all doors are shut, all borders are closed, all preachers are out of the pulpits, all schools are on vacation or virtual classes, all businesses have stopped operating, all "white weddings" postponed—everyone and virtually everything, even pets are on lockdown just before sundown (just when we could retire to our beds and ponder on pleasant moments and precious memories).

    Michael Jackson, "King of Pop", was rehearsing for a tour but died few days later. Kobe Bryant, "King of Basketball", was preparing for a basketball game but died few hours later. Many of the sailors of Titanic, "King of Ships", were making merry but most died few minutes later. "Oh how the mighty are fallen" (2 Samuel 1:25, 27). Death and sickness are no respecter of persons, edifice or borders. As you make plans for life, don’t forget to make plans for your eternal life (Proverbs 19:21, cf; James 4:14, John 17:3). God loves you!

  • ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY?

    ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY?
    Jul 1 2025
    "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God." (Psalms 146:5)

    My dear Brother in Christ, high in position or low in position, rich or poor, master or servant, young or old, here is a question that deserves your answer at this end of the world. "Are you really happy?" You care about nothing except the things of this world. You neglect the Bible. You make a god of your business or your money. You provide for everything except the Day of Judgment. You scheme and plan about everything except eternity. Are you really happy? You know that you are not.

    My dear Sister in Christ, high in position or low in position, rich or poor, master or servant, young or old, here is a question that deserves your answer at this end of the world. Are you really happy? You throw away your life in thoughtlessness. You spend hours after hours on that poor body which must soon be fed to the worms. You make an idol of dress and fashion; of excitement and pleasure; and of human praise, as if this world is all there is to contemplate. Are you really happy? You know that you are not.

    My dear Brother or Sister, if you are living for yourself and this world, you are sowing misery for yourself. Stop and think, before it is too late. Awake from your vain dreams. Think of the uselessness of living a life which you will be ashamed of at the hour of God’s judgement. Open your eyes and look around the world carefully. Who has ever been really happy without God? Consider the road on which you are now travelling. Mark the footsteps of those who have gone before you. See how many have turned away from it, and have confessed that they were wrong. If you have not given your life to Christ, it is certain that you shall miss happiness in this world later in life, as well as in the world to come! Embrace Christ and be really happy now and in the future.

  • MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

    MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
    Jul 1 2025
    The will of God for our lives is that we live exemplary lives that others can imitate, and as a result give thanks to God. What is the essence of bearing Christ's name and behaving like the devil? Have you forgotten that there is a controversy between the children of God and that of Satan? If sinners always feel comfortable around you; and your character turn people away from God, then be careful. What our father in heaven hates is for us to come before Him all the time with our dirty characters unchanged. What benefit will we gain if we spend all our life time going to Church and then end up in hell with those who have chosen the world and its pleasures? We should be mindful of whatever we do, whether we eat, drink or dress, we should do it to the glorification of God (1 Cor.10:31).

    "The apostle's words of exhortation to the Corinthian church are applicable to all time and are especially adapted for our day. By idolatry he meant not only the worship of idols, but self-serving, love of ease, the gratification of appetite and passion. A mere profession of faith in Christ, a boastful knowledge of the truth, does not make a man a Christian. A religion that seeks only to gratify the eye, the ear, and the taste, or that sanctions self-indulgence, is not the religion of Christ." {AA 317.1} For God will bring all our deeds into judgement. Brethren, life is too short for us to play around as if we have nothing ahead of us, let us not be blinded by the riches, fame and the beautiful vain things of this mundane world ,rather we should stand firm for the Lord, though the heavens may fall, for this is the greatest want of the world. In conclusion, dear brethren, please dare to be different from the world and the Lord will richly bless you.

  • FORGET ABOUT THE PAST.

    FORGET ABOUT THE PAST.
    Jul 1 2025
    "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV).

    You become what you meditate upon; that is why as a child of God you should be mindful of what you allow into your mind. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour, you become a new creation; you are born anew into the family of God. All the old things in your life are passed away: your old nature of sin is passed away. If you were a thief, liar, prostitute, fornicator, adulterer etc., they are all passed away. God has now opened a new chapter in your life. All things are now new in your life: you now have a new nature of righteousness, holiness, eternal life, peace, and prosperity. Meditate on your new nature and the inheritance you have in Christ and your life will be full of glory and peace. Hallelujah.

  • STUDY THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.

    STUDY THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.
    Jul 1 2025
    📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 We should beware of supposing that a particular pastor is to be trusted with all our heart. Even though he may preach a great deal of truth, he may still hold on to some unsound views. Such a pastor is precisely the man to do us harm. Poison is always most dangerous when it is given in small doses and mixed with wholesome food. Let us beware of being taken in by the apparent earnestness of many of the pastors and upholders of false doctrine at this end of the world. We should remember that zeal and sincerity and fervor are no proof whatever that a particular pastor is working for Christ, and ought to believed. There is no doubt that Peter was very earnest when he asked our Lord Jesus not to go to the Cross; yet our Lord said to him, ‘Get thee behind Me, Satan.’ There is no doubt that Saul was extremely earnest when he went to and fro persecuting Christians; yet he did it ignorantly, and his zeal was not according to knowledge. It is an awful and frightening fact that, ‘Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light’ (2 Corinthians 11:14). Of all the delusions common in these evil last days, there is none greater than the common notion that ‘if a man is earnest about his religion l, then he must be a good man!’ Let us beware of being carried away by this delusion. Let us beware of being led astray by ‘earnest - minded men!’ Earnestness is in itself an excellent thing; but it must be earnestness in behalf of Christ and His WHOLE TRUTH, or else it is worth nothing at all. Several things combine to make false doctrines in these end times especially dangerous. There is an undeniable zeal in some of the teachers of error: their ‘earnestness’ makes many of us think they must be right and ought to be believed. Many of those who teach very false and deadly doctrines have a great appearance of learning and Biblical knowledge. As a result, many of us fancy that such clever and intellectual men and women must surely be safe guides. There is a general freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry in these last days. Many of us like to prove our independence of judgment, by believing false doctrines. Majority of us have the widespread desire to appear charitable and liberal-minded. Many of us feel ashamed to pointedly tell those who teach doctrines that are contrary to the Bible that they are grossly wrong and mistaken. There is a great quantity of half-truths taught by false teachers in our world today. Most of the false teachers in this day are continuously using Scriptural terms and phrases in an unscriptural manner. There is an intense craving in the minds of most people for a more ceremonial, sensational and showy church services. Most of us do not like the inward, invisible heart work that God requires us to do. We have the silly readiness to believe any supposedly called man or woman of God who talks cleverly, lovingly, and earnestly, and we tend to forget that Satan is often ‘transformed into an angel of light’ (2 Corinthians 11:14). There is a wide-spread ‘readiness to be deceived’ among those of us that claim to be Christians. Any heretic who tells us his or her story plausibly is sure to be believed, and sadly enough, anyone who doubts him or her is called a persecutor and a narrow-minded person. All these things are clear signs and indicators of the last days in which we live. Can those of us who are very observant deny them? They make it more than ever needful for me to cry aloud to all of you reading this short article that, ‘Be not carried about by divers and strange doctrines' Any of us may have a pastor who is a man of God indeed, and worthy of all honor for his preaching and practice; but do not make a God of him. Do not uphold his words as if they were of a higher authority than the Scriptures. Do not spoil him by flattery. Do not let him suppose he can make no mistakes. Do not lean your whole weight on his opinion, or you may find to your eternal cost that he can err. It is written of Joash, King of Judah, that he ‘did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest’ (2 Chronicles 24:2). Jehoiada died, and then died the obedience of Joash. Just so your pastor may die, and then your Christianity may die too. Just so your pastor may change, and your Christianity may change. Just so your beloved pastor may cease to trust in God and you may cease to trust in God too. Oh, my dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we should not be content with a Christianity that is built upon man! Let none of us be satisfied with saying, ‘I have hope, because my own pastor has told me such and such things.’ Everyone should seek to be able to say, ‘I have hope, because I find it thus and thus written in the WORD OF GOD.’ If our peace is to be solid, each and everyone of us must go by himself or herself to the fountain of all truth. If our comforts are to be lasting, we must visit the well of ...

  • A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART

    A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART
    Apr 4 2025
    A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART
    One of the most effulgent Bible characters in the New Testament is the apostle Paul. After experiencing the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he became zealous for the Master's work. His only passion and joy in life was to bring others also to the Saviour he has found. The actuating principle of His life was to declare the goodness of God and the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. His ardor in the kingdom business was always inflamed with the memory of what Christ has done for him.

    Yes indeed, Paul had a very bad record. His past was stained with cruelty and murder and his life was blemished with a lot of moral defects. The taste of the sins, the worldly honour and the fame he was enjoying could have led him to be comfortable in his abode. But his encounter with Christ transformed Him. He knew well of the past shortcomings which could have silenced his voice in the holy records and impede his spiritual growth. There were many things in Paul’s life that could have triggered mockery and contempt from his contemporaries in line of his new faith.

    But glory be to the transformative grace of God, grace that pardons all our sins and takes care of all our guilt. Grace that is able to give us a new life after Christ has made us whole. This grace always searches for us; and while we were yet sinners the love of God (Christ) was given for us. Like Paul, we did not seek for it but it was sent in search for us. On that Damascus road, the Light of the world illuminated the mind and heart of Paul and transformed him. In his transformation, Paul understood how to respond to God’s grace. This is done by forsaking the former things, counting them as garbage and loss and embracing the new heart that is profitable in the new life.

    The experience of Paul should be an epitome for all Christians. The grace of God has found us in the streets, the bars, the shrines, the cultic and psychic centers. As we were engaging in the adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, envy, murder, drunkenness, revelries and the likes, the still small voice called us into a new life. "Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" was the offer from Christ. As we have accepted to live this new life, the things of the past that are not in conformity with the faith of Christ should be shunned.

    Unfortunately, there are many who call themselves Christians (accepting the new life) but still possesses the old heart. They are not privy to the Master’s command; "go and sin no more". Though they have accepted Christ, they have not fully surrendered to Him. They profess to be in Christ but still cling to their old life, the former things have not become former. Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spot? OH YES!, if so, then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. You have accepted Christ; you have become a new creature; you need to have a change of heart; Yes, the old heart (lifestyle) should give room for the new. You need to do so, but not in your own might. Give your will to Christ for His assurance to you is that "a new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."

    (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:17; Galatians 5:19-21; Philippians 3:13-16; Matthew 11:28; John 8:11; Jeremiah 13:23; Ezekiel 36:26; Ezekiel 18:31)

  • NEVER GIVE UP ON THE RACE.

    NEVER GIVE UP ON THE RACE.
    Feb 18 2025
    Never Give Up On the Race

    "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee" (John 17:1; KJV).Even at the point of His death, Jesus never gave up. When even the religious leaders asked Him to save Himself if He was the Christ, that did not prevent Him from going forward with His mission of dying for the race of Adam. Our Saviour never gave up despite all that He had to go through for you and I. Because of His death for us, we have assurance of eternal life in a world made new.

    Matthew 5:12), the Lord wants us to also press on in Him without giving up. Like Zaccheaus who left nothing undone to see the Saviour (Luke 19:1-10), the Lord wants to pursue Him with all our hearts.

    It doesn't matter your past life or current situation, the Lord wants you to approach Him. Even as Christ gave us an example in perseverance even up to the cross, He expects us not to lose hope, but continue to trust in Him. If we cling to Him with an open heart like the woman with the issue of blood or express a desire to see Him just as He is like Zaccheaus, He will abundantly receive us and bless us.

  • HAVING FAITH IN GOD.

    HAVING FAITH IN GOD.
    Feb 18 2025
    Having Faith in God.

    The first chapter of the book of Job tells us how Job was a faithful man of God. God blessed him with seven sons, servants and much wealth. Satan challenged God that the protection and riches He has given Job was the reason for his unswerving commitment to Him. And so God gave the devil the chance to test Job to the highest point. Despite all the negative things the devil brought in the life of Job, Job remained steadfast and victorious in the end (Job 1 -2)

    As followers of Christ, the devil will bring a lot of misfortune in our lives just to test our faith in God. And this is where we have to stand strong and prove to Satan and the entire world that we are true children of God. In times of our extreme troubles, people may suggest various solutions to our problems, even including possible solutions that contradict the clear words of Scripture.

    It is important for us to learn that as Christians, we need to be firm in our principles no matter our situation in life. The Lord has promised never to forsake or leave us (1 Samuel 12:22; Matthew 28:20). He has promised that He will hear us when we pray unto Him (John 14:13-14).

    Beloved, whatever the problem or difficulty we encounter, our God knows, He sees and has a better solution for us if only we can trust in Him and wait for His own timing. Even as God finally answered the prayers of Job, He continues to answer the prayers of His faithful children who trust in Him and wait for Him. It is in our waiting on Him through prayers and a reflection of the Scriptures that He perfects our characters.
