• HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME(PS.138:2)

    THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD!

    Like I apologized yesterday, I've allowed myself to be weighed down by the vicissitudes of life.I equally said I'm healing now. However, someone like me ought to know better...(I just mean my level of exposure to God and His Word... nothing more.)
    I have been unable to really concentrate,and I do know I was hurting myself the more. God can NEVER be more Faithful to any undeserving individual like me. In real time and to my great shame, I'm indeed very UNGRATEFUL TO MY FATHER...and HE REMINDED me of the implications of every carelessly spoken word, no matter the complexities of one's temporary problems(THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE... TEMPORARY PROBLEMS... THEY'LL GO, AND YOU'LL REMAIN, AMEN!)

    It is beautiful to witness the Glory of God, the Power of God, and the blessing of God. There is something unchangeable about experiencing Him; once you taste IT, you cannot go back.

    Israel has faced challenges in not recognizing its Saviour. Allow me tell us, words have a profound influence on people...they can transform us or define us, they can destroy us or build us up.

    Do you remember what Christ Jesus said?

    “My words are spirit and they are life.”

    This means that every word He speaks carries a spirit; every Word that comes from His Mouth brings a spirit to our life and being.

    On the other hand, the words of the enemy bring death and a contrary spirit. Perhaps someone reading this right now(like me writing it), is living under the influence of negative words spoken over them. But today, I come to you(including myself) in God’s name: If one word canceled your(my) future, another Word can and will reopen it. If a word brought a curse into our life, there is a Word today that can change everything, for we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us.

    Perhaps,one of the reasons I was called to be here(online), is because I'm still battling the consequences of the careless choices I made in the past...So, it's easy for me to relate to the awesome Truth that every believer's suffering in this world has a purpose in God's Grand Final Purpose for that believer, so long he/she NEVER retreats. I CAN CHOOSE TO PAINT MY LIFE IN BEAUTIFUL COLOURS... PRETENDING TO BE WHAT I'M NOT...BUT THEN, I WOULD'VE EARNED MYSELF A STRAIGHT VISA TO.....?You can assist in helping me to complete it,but that will NEVER be my portion in Christ Jesus' Name!

    Thus, believe this that, for every carelessly spoken word of ours, that our common enemy is using it to fight us, we will receive a counter WORD that will nullify those careless words as we submit to GOD'S WORD. I lift up my hands in the Mighty Name of Christ Jesus and believe wholeheartedly in what God is doing. I urge you to believe same...Amen!

    In the book of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 5, It says:

    “While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said: ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’”

    The Father looked at His Son in the Jordan and declared, "This is my beloved Son."

    I speak to us today...to a son, a daughter, or even a young girl whose father never said, "I love you," or "You are important to me." Yes, to every word of rejection, let us lift our hands and tell ourselves this: Heaven has a different version and vision of who we are.

    Let me tell you something: Words can destroy the heart, but despite everything, We should yet declare that we are blessed, we are prosperous, and in the Mighty Name of Christ Jesus, every destructive word spoken against us is cancelled.

    The One who has been with us all this time...the One who has Loved us and Provided for us... Is seated on His Throne, Reigning with Authority. It has not been men; it has been the Father who has sustained us.

    Have Faith in God's Transforming Word
    Therefore, have faith in God and believe that His word, declared over you, will change the atmosphere in your home.

    The Words of God carry LIFE, and today, we are blessed by His Words in the Name of Christ Jesus. The Lord will always lift us up, if we can let go and let God. Say right where you are now;

    Christ Jesus,You are the Lord and Saviour of my life,Amen!

  • Get Paid to Follow True Calling:

    I truly believe that everyone has a calling – or passion which is the word I prefer to use.
    I also believe that everybody can be an entrepreneur – especially if they follow their passion.
    I have stopped asking because now I know but actually asking didn’t help much. It is a bit like saying all the time “I want to be happy”, then you are definitely not going to be happy. It is about enjoying every moment of life, being present and grateful, and then suddenly we realize that we are happy. The same goes for your passion or your true calling. If you like that better, if you desperately look for it, you are not going to find it. Your life will constantly give you hints and it is your task to notice these hints – and then you will know what your passion is.

    Finding your true calling may take time:

    It took me a long time to realize what my passion or actual passions are or let’s say accept them because they were actually there all the time. I think some of us might know when we are six years old and others when we are sixty. We might also know our passions and choose to ignore them for a while until we feel the time is right to pursue them. Then there are others that say they don’t have a passion for anything. I don’t believe that, I think they are blocking the hints that they are given and/or need to try something new in life in order to get more hints. This is essentially what we do for our children, we let them try all kinds of sports, music or other hobbies early in life in the hope that they will discover their passion, in case it is not one of the subjects at school.

    Choosing to pursue your passion:

    It is a choice, to follow your passion or not. Following your passion doesn’t always mean that you have to give up your current job and follow your passion full-time. For various reasons it might make more sense to keep the passion as a hobby or something you do besides your job. I think many of the older generation knew their passions but chose to ignore them their whole lives because it would have disrupted the life that they had planned for themselves or others or out of loyalty to employers or family. I think most of us are in a
    different place today and have realized that pursuing our passion is what we need to live a happy and fulfilled life.

    How I found my true calling:

    In hindsight everything is easy but when you wake up one day and want to know what you were meant to do in life and you don’t know, there is panic. My passions were there all the time, I just hadn’t paid attention to them and was too busy getting a degree, making a career or living somebody’s else’s life. It is when your life is suddenly put upside down that you start to ask yourself questions. Why am I here? What am I meant to do? What will give me purpose? This is the journey that many of us start on some time in our life and we call “finding ourselves”. I am not sure I like the term because it assumes that we got lost but it is still a fair description of what happens in our head. We are suddenly in a void, the vision we have lived on is broken because somebody left us, we lost a job or somebody died. We urgently need a new vision, a new mission in life and we look inside for answers. And since we haven’t done this before we need help, often through self-help books, personal development courses, yoga, mediation or coaching.

    What’s your one true calling?

    It’s a seductively simple question, which is why it’s so appealing. If we all really do have one true calling, then the secret to getting our dream job is as simple as finding and pursuing that calling... right?
    But what if you don’t know what your calling is? What if you aren’t even sure you have one?
    It’s tempting to treat callings like the perfect pair of jeans. Try on enough of them, and eventually one will fit you exactly right. And so we hop from company to company, job to job, project to project, searching for the one that will finally show us, once and for all, what we were put on this Earth to do. Not only is this exhausting; it can leave us feeling even more lost and confused than we were before!

    Callings are funny things. We seek them because we crave meaning and certainty. We want to know why we’re here and what our lives are supposed to be all about, and sometimes we start down a path just to get rid of the agony of limbo. But I don’t know of any calling that showed up fully formed, complete with an action plan and due dates. Callings come to us in hints and traces, steeped in possibility and uncertainty. When possibility presents itself, don’t rush into action right away. Stay open. Let it simmer long enough to show you what could be.
    As you contemplate these ideas, I implore you also to remember that callings don’t only show up in our careers. If you feel called to make music or write novels or create art or do any of the other wonderful, worthwhile things that rarely earn a great living in our society, do it!
    Work is just one part of your life, after all, and having a day job doesn’t make you a failure.
    The greater tragedy would be not to follow a calling at all… because you never know where it might lead you.

  • EVEN IN A DEVIL MESSED UP WORLD, CHRIST JESUS STILL EXPECTS US TO BE CLEAN! (ROM.2:1)

    PLEASE, DON'T DOUBT WE'RE NECK DEEP IN THE BIBLE PROPHECIED PERILOUS TIMES! [2TIM. 3:1...] (PART ONE)
    ****************************************
    “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
    (2 Timothy 3:1.)

    Apostle Paul, was writing from a prison cell in Rome, knowing that his own death was at hand. He was warning his young protégé Timothy of difficult days to come. Although he never loses his faith in God, it is clear that he was deeply concerned about the trends he saw all around him.

    Hard times were coming; days of stress were just around the corner. If a man was not ready, if he didn’t brace himself in advance, he might be washed away when things got really hot. Evidence around us confirms the authenticity of Paul's warning. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE DEVIL IS NO LONGER HIDING, YET MANY OF US, SIMPLY REFUSED TO SEE HIM,AND IT'S SADDENING.

    The verse 1 of our key scripture can easily pass off as the summary of the whole chapter.
    “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days”
    (II Timothy 3:1).
    Two questions come to mind;
    First, what does Paul mean by the expression, “last days?”
    One can attribute at least three meanings to the phrase. It can apply to the entire period between the first and second comings of Christ Jesus .Since Christ Jesus could have come at any time, the entire church age can be called the “last days.”
    It also applies to unique periods of spiritual testing that occur at different times in different places. Finally, it obviously applies to the last few weeks and months and years preceding our Lord’s return to the earth.

    I find it helpful to think in terms of labor pains. A pregnant woman knows when she is about to give birth by the frequency and severity of her labour pains. In the same way, the various things that Paul lists in the first few verses of 2 Timothy 3 will always be present in some form, but will increase dramatically near the end of the age. Are we in the “last days?”
    No matter how you define it, the answer is yes. And we may indeed be living in the final days before the return of Christ Jesus to the earth.

    Second, what will the “last days” be like?
    The “last days” will be fierce, violent, dangerous and frightening. Here’s another word we could use: In the last days, savage times will come as men cast off all moral restraint and society begins to disintegrate.
    The importance of the prophecy and warning against the perilous times cannot be over emphasised. Yes, we're living in the age of the fulfillment of the "Perilous times!"

    So Paul warns Timothy, “After I am gone, things are going to get worse before they get better. Buckle up, Timothy. Terrible times are coming.” That’s why Paul said, “Mark this,” or “Understand this,” or “Pay attention to this.” Don’t be naïve and think that everything is going to be okay. It’s not all going to be okay. But, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. If we know what is going to happen, we won’t be surprised when it does.

    Alright, let's get going on Perilous Times.

    The first five verses of 2Timothy 3:1-5 offer a sobering escalation of corruption.
    In a sense, this is a shorter version of Romans 1:18-32.

    This is what happens when we turn our back on God. First, there is a total rejection of God. People are unholy, ungrateful, lovers of themselves, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. This leads to a total moral collapse. People become lovers of money, conceited, without love toward others, boastful, proud, unforgiving, conceited, “not lovers of what is good.”

    You see, every action has an effect. Naturally, our rejection of God should necessarily have its consequences.
    And so our disobedience produced a total breakdown of society.(Law and order).People will be treacherous, rash, slanderous, brutal, disobedient to parents, abusive and without self-control.

    By implications, this means that,(like in the time of the Book of Judges) in the end, *ANYTHING GOES.* No rules, no moral absolutes, no restraints of any kind. Every man does that which is right in his own eyes, and woe to the person who dares to question his or her “lifestyle choices.”

    We should specifically note that Paul includes “DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS.”
    It may seem too trivial to be in such a solemn list, but for aged Paul, disobedience is the spark that ignites the flame that leaves the home in ashes. (Is it any wonder that divorce has become common place or that many people want to redefine marriage to allow for homosexuals to marry each other? Of course, it’s not surprising, and we haven’t even reached the bottom of the pit of moral degradation yet.)

    In the light of Bible prophecy, we should expect that as we approach the end times, all these things will increase in intensity and frequency, until we have the situation portrayed in the Book of Revelation, the total implosion of the social order as men utterly rebel against God and destroy themselves and the world in the process. Perhaps this is why Christ Jesus said that unless those days were shortened, no one would survive (Matthew 24:22).

    And as per "Religious Rebels;"

    We haven’t gotten to the bad news yet.
    That comes in verse 5: “Having a FORM of GODLINESS but DENYING its POWER. Have nothing to do with them.” The word “form” means something like, “having the outward appearance” of godliness. That is, in the last days, as men turn away from God, paradoxically, they will become more religious, not less.

    Religion will become more popular as we approach the end times because people will seek some refuge in a world that increasingly has lost its way. They will ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS, but will FOLLOW the WRONG ANSWERS.
    It will be religion for religion’s sake, not religion for the sake of knowing Christ Jesus. They will join the church (or some other religious organization), they will be baptized, attend the services, sing and pray and give and go through the motions, but their hearts will not be in it. They will deny the very power they profess to believe.

    In particular, they will embrace a kind of post-modern religion that allows them to do anything, believe anything, endorse anything, live any way they choose as long as it makes them happy. They will say things like, “We don’t need to be bound by the outdated rules of the Bible. Those were written 2,000 years ago and don’t apply to us today.” That’s not far-fetched. You can say things like that today and be elected a bishop in some denominations.

    Notice how Paul says we are to RESPOND to these FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADERS: “HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM”(v5)

    That’s clear, isn’t it? It’s also judgmental, narrow-minded, rude, unkind, unfair (in the eyes of many people), and a host of other things that are NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT TODAY. But the WORD of THE LORD REMAINS. We are to have nothing to do with religious people who do not believe the Bible and do not accept ITS AUTHORITY over EVERY AREA OF LIFE, including sexual morality.
    Such people are religious but lost. We ain't done yet...will be back shortly !

  • EVEN IN A DEVIL MESSED UP WORLD, CHRIST JESUS STILL EXPECTS US TO BE CLEAN! (ROM.2:1)

    PLEASE, DON'T DOUBT WE'RE NECK DEEP IN THE BIBLE PROPHECIED PERILOUS TIMES! [2TIM. 3:1...] (PART ONE)
    ****************************************
    “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
    (2 Timothy 3:1.)

    Apostle Paul, was writing from a prison cell in Rome, knowing that his own death was at hand. He was warning his young protégé Timothy of difficult days to come. Although he never loses his faith in God, it is clear that he was deeply concerned about the trends he saw all around him.

    The verse 1 of our key scripture can easily pass off as the summary of the whole chapter.
