WHO IS A GOOD MAN

 A good man is not a perfect man; the psalmist knows this but, pray when he falls let mercy visit him. Hear this again from the bible Matthew 19:16-17; And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. There is no natural man born of a woman that qualifies before God as good, neither do our works when consider before God. Isaiah 64:6,But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. So this man viewed Jesus from the lenses of just a good man [one who is able to obey all the laws without breaking one] not as the mighty God as predicted in the book of Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.. Psalms 132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.  Today, if an armed robber showers his in-laws, his spouse, friends and relatives with gifts he is called a good person and all will adore him, and will tell anyone so. This kind of scenario makes Goodness relative. This man called Jesus good master because he has seen him doing good works, but before God our good works does not cut it.  Christ had to correct that notion; no one is perfect for any man born through canal cohesion have sin in him. Read Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  Therefore, the sin that condemns us before God; the reason Jesus was offered as the ultimate lamb that will take away sin, that sin of disobedience that took occurred in the Garden. Adam’s sin is like some deadly disease was passed to all man read the above again.  But if he had identified him rightly as Lord or messiah instead of master, then Jesus would not have responded in that manner, Compare this to this passage:. John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!  Jesus is lord and savior that makes him more than human not masters a title any, man can acquire. Read about the prophesy concerning Jesus: Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. To all who are born of the Spirit Jesus is identified as lord and savior not as master anymore. See 1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;     The way to God is through righteousness which far exceeds our goodness and this righteousness no man can attain save through grace. And Jesus, our lord and savior, made provision for all those who comes to him and these people are spiritually given a spiritual coverage which made them righteous before a Holy God. Read carefully Romans 5:17, For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Further reading:  Romans 5:1, Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

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,
