What Easter means to a believer

 Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

That the name Easter was really a pagan festival can not be disputed or looked over. Christianity. Glossing over fact do not make us committed Christians than we are ignorant. Claims examined should not make us feel uncomfortably. Those who are afraid of Apologetic regarding their christian faith are not ready to study to show themselves approved of God like the bible commends us. Fighting over whether Easter was a pagan festival is an unnecessary waste of time and a diversion from the sum and substance of Christianity which is RESURRECTION POWER. To the believer, the death of Jesus is where Truth and falsehood met and truth emerged victorious; that he resurrected proves he can save all those who come to Him through faith on what he did on the cross where he gave his life for all. The bible put it strongly when it says; Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

A little light will suffice on EASTER. The name comes from the Saxon word [Esotre] meaning a goddess of the place [this case of Saxon] At the same time of these sacrifices coincided the Jews festival of Passover which was only popular with the Jews who were in the minority.It is no use denying it that at this said time this pagan festival was more popular than the Jews festival of ‘Passover’. Because the Resurrection of Christ occurred during this time, they decided it to it called Easter.

‘The nonchurched,’ may not know much about the significance of Easter, but a new testament believer will find that it is a very important event in the church’s history founded by Jesus Christ. His death would have been meaningless if he failed to resurrect. The power of resurrection is the authentication of his ministry and mission on this earth. The resurrection of Christ was the junction where truth met with falsehood and truth emerged victorious. The finished work on the cross was not really finished until he resurrected because they often hung Men on the cross as a punitive measure for heinous crimes. Like every other truth takes time to show forth, all denied his claims until it was too late. One guard said, Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. Many are still in that state of denials until it is too late for them. Do not be caught in the same boat, now is the day of salvation put on your shoes and head for the nearest bible believing church. See you in church on Sunday and remember to observe safety protocols.

joyful celebration!

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Image
Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total turn out will come from the North. 35 percent do no go to church, the rest belongs to one denomination or the other. Now tell me, have they pr

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS[2]

  MUST ATTEND A CHURCH THAT BELIEVE IN PROSPERITY . The pupilt is what tranforms and build a man. When a pupilt is powerful with the word of God it translates into the life of the people in the pews. When a pastor receives a word concerning healing, prosperity, faith in God, whatever he receives when delivered like a good messenger, not missing it it will robs off on the congregation; that is a church. It is not all the time that God may have a specific word for the church , but it rests on the pastor to give the word like he ought to. See  Romans 1:16,  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. When the word from the pupilt is weak it will give birth to lukewarm christian who are neither strong nor weak. see  Revelation 3:16,  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.If you are really active in your local church then w

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

  Today, we round up this series. I hope the Holy spirit will expand these seeds in you, for indeed, the word of God needs illumination through the working holy spirit. Teachers only ignite the flame and the Holy spirit illumines it to those who are willing. Jesus, our lord and savior, refers to the word of God as the seed which the sower sows, but what makes it grow is the holy spirit which you invite through meditation on the word and allowing it to guide you on every day.   Joshua 1:8,  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. May God bless you as you read. WHAT IS INYOUR HANDS IS ENOUGH FOR GOD TO STAR T. What should always elates the christian is that God does not place a high demand on us in any way; God Started and completed, the work of salvation.  Hebrews 12:2 ,
