ASSURANCES AND OUR RIGHTS

 John 1:12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Bible king james version.

Unlike many religions, Christianity offers us a free pass for many things without without obligation to carry out ceremonial rite that to cleanse us from evil. Unlike other religion Christianity does not require us to spill our own blood as a demonstration to our God that we are devout and pious. 1 Kings 18:27-28, And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. Unlike other religion, Christianity and their practitioners do not fight for their God. see  Judges 6:28-31 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built. And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar .There are assurances and promises that never fail the Christians can depend on because the giver is not a man that can give false promise and hope. See Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? futhermore, read Isaiah 55:11, So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not returnunto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.   What this passage means in layperson term is that the word which God almighty speak are like a messenger , they go out and accomplish thier mission no matter the obstacle no matter the force and no matter the hindrances set up by man or evil force the sent word always deliver and carryout his assignment and return to base. Man is finite and has a lot of frailties and weaknesses and limit in his abilities: You see that when breath has gone out of a man,  he leaves his hands open not clinching anything, lifeless and still. Anyone who accepts the Lord into his life as his personal lord and saviour must have faith in Him read Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And what is this faith? Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is taking God fir his word and promises in any areas, health, protection and deliverance and assurance of a wonderful future of an eternal life. Hebrews 12:2 tells us, Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.] How is Jesus “the author of our faith“? Jesus paid the price, and meet the requirement for us all; [Atonement for sin] Anyone who has decided to follow him without looking back to the world [rejects of salvation[, looking up to Jesus has a lot of assurances and promises. It does not stop there. They also do receive spiritual blessings without paying any price like I have noted other religion practices.  

SALVATION IS FREE:

Isaiah 55:1-2 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Only believe:

Acts 16:29-31 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

YOU ARE INEFFABLE LOVED:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

MARANATHA!

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

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

  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 ,

WHY DOES YOUR GOD SEND PEOPLE TO HELL?

  This question was asked by a friend of my daughter when she was telling her about the love of God. The question is why not whether. therefore, it was a foregone conclusion to her that God did sent people to hell. So simply, but not many have asked that even from a pastor or teacher of the word. She ran home to ask me what she sees as a simple/curious question, but with complicated answer. In a normal family setting the first impression of God should come from your parents, your teacher, and those who influence your life. Deuteronomy 11:19-20,  And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: When growing up at home how God is introduce, presented and taught develop the concept you have of God. How your parents reacts when they talk about this God how they show reverence and worship,
