NOT SWALLOWED BY DEATH

NOT SWALLOWED BY DEATH Most people are afraid when they hear death, everyone will surely die one day; but it is a tragedy if you die without knowing Christ. Show me a man that dies without Christ and I will tell you, he will perish forever in the lake of fire; Show me a man that dies knowing Christ and I will tell you on the last day, when the trumpet is blasted he will resurrect and reign with Christ in glory, power, might, majesty and splendor. He will receive eternal life, so choose wisely. I once asked a question while teaching some set of children the word of GOD. The question is how many of you can put your hands in the fire lighted by a stove; no one was raising his/ her hands. I then told them, if you can’t dip your hands in the fire, then do the will of GOD and be sure of your salvation; because anyone not doing this will rot in a place called hell; where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. The fire from a stove is quenchable, when the oil lighting the stove dry it is quenched, but the fire from hell is not quenched. It is everlasting. They were sober and feared when they heard this. Likewise all people on earth; Heaven is real, hell is real. You either end up in Heaven or hell, those that end up in Heaven are not swallowed by death, because Christ came and gave us victory; he died and resurrected. Death is swallowed up in victory. O death where then is your victory? Where then is your sting? Death could not hold Christ down, he resurrected and put death to shame. Sin is a sting that causes death, Christ came to the world and paid for our sins, he bore all our sins and yet resurrected; his father (GOD) resurrected him. He wasn’t swallowed by death, he defeated death just for us to be saved and enjoy eternal life. That is why the dead in Christ resurrect and are transformed into heavenly being. If you are of GOD, you won’t be swallowed by death. Do not sin, it is possible when you allow the Holy spirit in you, he won’t allow you indulge in sins. The soul that sinneth shall die, and the wages of sin is Death! If you do not want death to swallow you, acknowledge you are a sinner, confess and forsake all sins, accept Christ as your personal Lord and savior and do his will. It is well with us……….

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

EXISTENCE AND RELEVANCE

EXISTENCE AND RELEVANCE Existence is the state of being existing or occurring. To exist is a privilege because many wished they were alive, but they are not. People in the graveyard are non-existing. They lack significance. Nobody reckons with them again. I exist, you exist glory be to GOD for this. If you are reading these write up, it shows you are existing. The dead cannot read. All living being on earth exists. The greatest of all blessings on earth is the gift of life. We are to acknowledge our Creator and Maker; for this. He is the reason for our existence. He made you for a purpose. That is where Relevance comes in. Relevance is the property or state of being relevant or pertinent. We all exist for relevance. We are created by GOD to be Relevant.
