Grace and providence.

Grace and providence . Let us place them in the same platter. God does not deny his creature love and attention. All God created was done with love. And freedom was placed as a choice for man. But freedom comes with the temptation to sin. God said to Adam eat all, but one, yet that one was where sin lies. Adam had the power, the mental capability to know where a bit from the fruit would land him, that eaten of forbidden fruit looks small, but it opened the door way to more evil like the killing of Abel by his own brother. Nimrod, was a great man from the onset .Genesis 10:8 (KJV) And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was the first man to build a city and that city expanded and other cities followed. Genesis 10:11 (KJV) Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,. he operated on Gods providence. His abilities and greatness was to bring glory to his maker, but he choose not to recognize the giver of that abilities. The first super structured, a tower so tall when it was in progress, that it was said to reach heaven Genesis 11:4 (KJV) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Man’s initiative was impressive here, yet God did not stop man from building it till it was all done.Genesis 11:5 (KJV) And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Let us know it today, that when God gives us a talent, it is for us improve where our dwellings and our world. He will never take it back from us. That men go out, and do mighty things, today, and will offer no praise to his creator, should not surprise us. The rain is for the good and evil; market is for the good and evil. sowing and reaping is for the good and evil, for God will never creat a thing he does not love or makes a provision. Hebrews 6:7 (KJV) For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: Grace on the other hand is God’s provision for those who acknowledge and take responsibilty for thier shortcoming. It is this grace that attract us to God and makes the difference between the ordinary man operating on Gods providence and that one under grace. grace was provided through his son jesus and it is this grace that saves us. see Genesis 6:8 (KJV) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. While others were drawn in thier sin, this one man was different because he listened to God. Romans 3:24 (KJV) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:Ephesians 2:5 (KJV) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) let us take time to read these chapters and verses from the scriptures; it will be expounded to you as you meditate on them for no one can exceprt the holy spirit can teach us about this mystery. grace is much more powerful and yet when grace meet with gods providence grace stoops low for in humility is ourwatch word, crafted, when God had to become flesh and lived amongst us. Hebrews 4:15 (KJV) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. gds incarnation is the lowest form of humility and we are left to be in humility. no wonder jesus said if we are smack on one side we should turn the other cheek. Gods grace does not alter the distinction which Gods providence makes. it oblidges us to do our duty that providences has made. Therefore, if my boss is an unbeliever i still have to follow his instruction and obey him. Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: MARANATHA! Share this:

Grit as a virtue of the believer

  There are those who think anything with the slightest sign of grit and hardness   is not for them.  Those who think it should not be for you as a believer; for Christ died for us, taking our suffering and nailing them all to the cross. In today’s believers’ world, this kind of mind set should be resisted and cast out of our lives. Just like life itself does not rely on the soft side of our planet to succeed, but also its rage, for survival, so too do us humans need tough times and happier days too. Any message that tells the believers to be patient, endure and overlook ill will and let go of revenge is the best message ever told. Sad enough, some believers see that as encouraging the devil and giving place to the enemy to operative in our lives. Persecution, is seen as the devil at work and we engage in physical fight if need be .Patience, persecutions, long sufferings, oppression in some cases, maltreatment in others, campaign of calumny, and many other vice are p...

BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATIONS

  Genesis 40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. Matthew 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept; the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. The bible recorded birthday celebration in two different books in the bible and sadly enough the two ended in the death of a person. Some Christian denominations believe these deaths are too much to be called a coincidence and therefore, think there is a spirit associated with the celebration, which is not godly and so believers should shun birthdays. And most importantly, they say, Jesus never asked his birthday to be celebrated, but commanded his disciples and followers to observe the lord supper see 1 Corinthians 11:25, After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood : this do ye, as...

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...
