REGIMENTAL LIFE

                       REGIMENTAL LIFE
Greetings to all readers that read on this platform worldwide. It’s been a while, hope we are still standing in faith? And hope we still depend and trust GOD? These past weeks, I experienced a lot and was inspired to write something on it. Regimental is something relating to a regiment. It is overly strict and rigid. Regiment is word used to describe a unit of armed troops under the command of an officer. It is a rule or governance over a person, place. It is an influence or control exercised by someone or something. These past three weeks was a regimented life for me and others that participated in the orientation. Officers had rule over us, it’s a must we did what we were commanded to do. It is a rule we kept the surroundings clean. It is a rule we wake up when the bugle sounds. It is a must we muster out when they want us to. I could deduce Dedication, Discipline, Submission and Obedience. Everyone became dedicated to all rules and commands, because it was a regimented training.
                   However, discipline was the order of the day; the undisciplined had no option than to become disciplined. They were fined tuned into the disciplined. There was submission, people with ego became submissive; they brought down their ego. People had no choice than to obey the rules and commands, since they knew the implications of disobeying. These qualities made life regimented during the orientation program.
  Romans 12 vs. 1-2 (AMP): I appeal to you therefore, brethren and beg of you in view of all the mercies of GOD, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies (presenting all your members and faculties) as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to GOD, which is your reasonable service and spiritual worship. GOD stands as the Officer. He expects us to make a decisive dedication to our bodies, He expects us to be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable. He expects us to please HIM in whatever we do, which is a reasonable service. GOD expects us to be disciplined within and without; He expects us to conform to his will and commands, and not that of the world. Romans 12 vs.2 (NIV): Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.
              However, GOD expects us to be submissive to his rules and will. When one exalts the rules and will of the world, he is of the world and the love of the Father is not in him. GOD’s rules and will should be exalted by men and stood for anywhere one finds himself. James 4 vs. 6-7: But he giveth more grace, wherefore he saith, GOD resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to GOD, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submission to GOD is important; when you submit to GOD you have power and authority to resist the devil. The bible said Obedience is better than sacrifice. It is better to obey and submit to the will of GOD and not men.

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
