What is required[2]

 Psalms 51:2, Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

There lies within man frailties that we never knew were there until they put us in an embarrassing situation[s] or we do not even want to admit they [frailties] there. A man who comes to himself, look critically at himself, like a man beholding his true features in a mirror, embrace his reflection. That is the beginning of growth, maturity and above all, humility, which is a required before God. Apostle Peter, was a victim of this deception when he refused to agree with Jesus when Christ foretold of his imminent betrayal at his hands. [ we serve a God we knows us than we know ourselves, He knows what we are capable of doing, and what we can not pull off because he knows us all therefore, when we approach his place we must do so admitting and believing all he says about us. This is humility, and when we take this approach he can then work in our lives producing, what men shall see the next morning and ask what has happened to us. They will see that our approach, our perspective and our demeanor has somewhat change, yet they can not know what have happened to us as the person they use to know; we become attractive to some while others may not like it because we have become light and no darkness can stand us; we have left them at the seat of the scornful and have departed walking in their ways. See psalm one. In the bible we come across a man whose son was tormented with a dumb spirit.Mark 9:18, And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. It is noteworthy here that the faith and humility of this man, later gave his son healing. we too may be in a situation where a loved one is facing a situation he can’t even speak or confess. our faith, humility can effects the needed healing on his behalf. This father's victory came when he said, Mark 9:24, And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. He believed otherwise, he would not have come to Jesus disciples for the elusive cure, but here before Jesus, he admits he does not know if his faith is too fragile, too weak, to get his son healed. Humility plus faith gives the needed victory; a place many are found wanton today. What is required to stop the circle of renewed resolution is a place at the feet of Christ, asking him for help, for it is not by might nor power. See Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. God bless you as you try this new approach. You can be a new man!

PASTOR BASHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

 Man Quits Church As Pastor Tells Congregation To Contribute Money For Wife. Omooba Adeleye, has joined the crew. It is no news that social media dome is a hangout for lies, malice and exaggerations in negativity against the pastor. He just fired a good one at pastor[s] using[imaginary?] one as a scapegoat. Why not? If social media attacks kills- pastors ,evangelists and other workers in the "vineyard", especially the ones in Nigeria, would have all been cut down by hails of bullets from critics like Adeleye. Should anyone bother? No, of course, after all, one way to get attention, one way to attack clergymen is to go on social media, post a story that sound outrageous and can not be verified; one that would leave us with our mouth hanging, such as the above handle from X. It is a no brainer to bastardize and portray one religious sect in bad light, in a pluralistic society like ours on social media . Many indulge in this campaign of calumny because any bad news agains...

Extension of faith

  2 Timothy 4:14-15 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.[KJV]In this era of social media, anyone can remain anonymous while spewing hate and insult, under the guise of free speech. Those targeted are often tempted to reciprocate in like manner. In this kind of scenario, the pastor or a person of who comes online to express his faith are mostly the target of such hate. If no constrains is applied, the victims find himself resorting to petitions God, to visit such persons with indignations and holy fury, that knows no bound. Many a times the christian who comes online to express his faith is bullied, insulted and called unprintable names.The subject of faith attracts negative comments than another subject. In the above passage, Apostle Paul did not mention the harm that the said Alexander the coppersmith did him, but from other bible reference we know that he was on...

Self evaluation

  Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Let us read together Luke 9:54-56, And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them . And they went to another village. Self evaluation is a humble yardstick to our capabilities, and how far people also rates us, by listening how other perceive our action or contributions to society. Even though relying on the external to know our worth is very difficult, as men often will acknowledge our worth after our departure from earth. With a christian, the way to know is through the word of God, the bible. The bible teaches us to test every spirit if it is of God, just like Jesus reb...
