Fulfilling Mystery

Image
We have got to see what our life in Christ means as the Church, and understand that we are called by God to a cosmic and final struggle in a battle with the powers of darkness over the whole issue of which wisdom will prevail over God's creation. Wisdom does not mean what we would ordinarily think it to mean. It is not wise sayings, but more like value systems. The wisdom of the gods of this world is a system predicated on force, violence, threat, fear, ambition, lust, intimidation and the terror of men to preserve themselves, and to make their own survival the first law of life. Their system is the unchallenged premise by which the world lives its life, namely, the avoidance of pain and the pursuit of pleasure, and makes that the foremost purpose of its being. The ability to lay down one's life and not to consider that one's life is dear to oneself is the wisdom of God. This wisdom is predicated on weakness and foolishness. The one wisdom lives for itself, its own pre...

** *Corruption, the biggest reason for the downfall of most empires and civilization. Some group of people can tolerate corruption as long as their leader champion their religion or race, some will tolerate bribery as long as they champion their own pockets. I’ve lived long enough to see most of my friends that shouted anti-corruption slogan against the government have no problem bribing a police officer and vote for a leader of their choice as long as these leaders championed their own race.* *When the leader they support was caught in a corruption scandal, my friends will say there are bigger fish to catch while ignoring the fact that their leader is corrupt. You cannot fight corruption with corruption, all forest fire starts from small and eventually grew massive. If you vote for a corrupt leader because he champions your race or religion, you deserve everything you asked for–crime, robbery, violence and etc.* *Nobody said this better than Che Guevara, "Cruel leaders are re...

THE PATH OF THE CROSS

   (Part 2 - The hidden wisdom in Silence)                HEB 12:2 "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 has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" . NKJV             Every sound you hear on the face of the earth has a limit to which it can travel but there is one traveler that no man can detect how far it travels and that is SILENCE. * Silence travels     There can be occasions of human interference with his journey but that not when God speaks. * S ilence is a tool and its very essential in the making of God choice vessels.   In the Leviticus order of priestliness which is a close resemblance of the new creation priestliness, the priest ( in making ) must observe a Seven days of Silence before the lord, Leviticus 8:33-36.  Underst...

*To make the most of your life, you must know how to cut yourself off from things that aren't working in the present.* You need to constantly evaluate and appraise your life so that you can determine what is right in your life and what must be cast aside. *You are a creation of purpose, you are fashioned to accomplish certain things. Constantly ask yourself, " How does this relationship, this situation, this decision affect the ultimate outcome of my life"* *History is full of people who didn't ask this question, or else didn't listen to the answer. They went through their lives surrounded by people and things that dragged them down and prevented them from reaching the heights of success. Their inability to trim the excess from their lives, to get rid of things that hindered instead of helped, caused them to wreck companies, destroy ministries, devastate children, and keep themselves from their life's goals. They were left bitter and old at the end o...

Amongst other things, our life here on earth is a trust from God. Our time on earth, our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships, and resources are all gifts from God that He entrusted to our care and management. *We are stewards of whatever God gives us. We own nothing.* *This concept of stewardship begins with the recognition that God is the owner of everything and everyone on earth.* *Our society says, "if you don't own it, you won't take care of it." But let's live by a higher standard, "Because God owns it, I must take the best care of it that I can." Those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust.* The story of the talents drives the message home. A businessman entrusts his wealth to the care of his servants while he's away. On his return, he evaluates each servant's responsibility and rewards them accordingly. *From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from t...

IN MY OPINION

*A Letter From Abraham Lincoln To His Son’s Teacher* *My son starts school today.* It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently. It is an adventure that might take him across continents. All adventures that probably include wars, tragedy and sorrow. *To live this life will require faith, love and courage.* So dear Teacher, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know, teach him – but gently, if you can. *Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. He will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, that for every crooked politician, there is a dedicated leader.* *Teach him if you can that 10 cents earned is of far more value than a dollar found.* *Teach him that it is far more honourable to fail than to cheat.*  Teach him to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when he does win. Teac...

THE PATH OF THE CROSS

(Part 1 - The hidden wisdom in foolishness) The journey of loneliness or spiritual singleness, the crowd will never understand the delicate nature of this path, even two people in this path can be very dangerous. Why? every individual get to this path on a different time chart whether they be married. have you not seen a husband operating in different spiritual dimension and understanding from his wife? so also is the path of the cross, you are admitted into it as a person hence its loneliness and singleness trying to carry everybody along here is destroying and delaying a process in time for you. it will take an individual who has similar experience to understand the path demands, trust me it will take God Grace and Wisdom for a marriage to survive this phase. for this is where a man gets to and he finds out that the lady he wants to marry is no longer interested in him.  the path in his uniqueness has two edge through which a man is well filtered and made read for use,...
          THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH:  A POSTURE OF WHO/ WHAT WE OUGHT TO BE       In an idea context of what the word Apostolic, as a posture of who we are and what kind of people we are. I have a very special respect for the word apostolic. To lose its meaning threatens the loss of the faith itself. It is not a word that is easy to define, and yet there is something about this word and its meaning that is at the heart of the faith. It is an ultimate word, and it is a word that needs to be resuscitated, and not be thought of as merely a denominational identification. It is a word that pulsates with glory, and therefore we need to seek for and rescue the apostolic foundation—or we will not have a church worthy of that word.         Like every great biblical word, we will not find the definition in a dictionary. We need rather to be apprehended by the genius of what that word represents. It is a seeking out and ...
