Your God assigned duty to another christian.







       Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;



Those who wants to have enemies and detractors do not have to look far; go to a church. There is nothing that we need to make our Christian work workable for us that God has not provided, but the question is how many will want to sincerely follow it. The children of Israel are not too far fetch if we want to compare the christians of today with any generation of those who profess to know God. If you and i weant to admit it, any christian failed marriage has an element of self centredness involve. Yet the marrraige covenant speaks of both parties forgeting about thier slef and Paul went futher to say in the book of  Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; It is tough for one to stand a bullet for his wife, if i do i will not be aorund to enjoy and revel in the love i have for her; this is humanly impossible and not many men like myself can go that far. Me thinks what paul means here is a selfless service and attention that do not put self into consideration. come to think of it if body gaurd can stand a bullet to defend thier boss then why not a husband? God help me! I am of the opinion that only this selfless service as advocated by the Apostle Paul is enough to keep our marriage going, but my point here is that how many of us obey The bible and see it as the infallible word of God? nowonder marriage counsellors are on the rise.
Now, to the subject at hand is why are there so many scrupples and scism in the church? why so many intolerance in the church?
  1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Many are in the church, but have not put away things of the world. in the church today the above mentioned vices are all too common. Even an ordinary testimony can elicite envy from your brethren.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. It is very clear if you go futher that what Jesus meant here is not to be born again like being conceived a second time, but having our lives turn around and ready to obey the world of God which invariable makes us see things and do things from the the right perspective. the bible .
 Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Our wisdom, our insight, our ways of doing things and our phylosophy if we have one all must be emptied as we come to God All worldy smartness, cunny lies to get our ways and others knowledge must be dealt with and oiur minds must become filled with the knowledgeof God. We must carry out our dutied to one another which i will point out here:

  1. Love one another as stated in the book of John13:3.
  2. Look after each other welfare as stated in the book of 1corinthians10:24
  3. Do not judge each other in the book of james4:12.
  4. Beof one mind, this is a command. philippians1:27.
  5. Serve one another. john13:14.
  6. Prefer each other Romans12:10
  7. Admonish each other Romans15:14
  8. Greet each other with warmth Romans16:16.
  9. Carry each other burden Galaltians6:2
  10. Submit to each other Ephisians5:21.
  11. Do not gossip one another james4:11
  12. Speak the truth one to another Ephisians4:11.
  13. Do not bear grudges against one another james5:16
  14. Confess your fault one to another james5:16.
  15. Be at peace with one another.
  16. Be hospitable 1peter4:9
  17. Forbear and have patience in all things Ephisians4:2-4
  18. Be kind one to another ephisians4:32
Men and brethren if you and i obey just a fraction of the above church fellowship will never experience one fracas. How do you schore rate yourseld today and go do your part, others will give what you give them. Be an example of the beleiver today.

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.

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 tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
