THE HEATHEN'S RAGE


THE HEATHEN’S RAGE The heathen here refers to nations and the word rage means violent and uncontrolled anger. The heathen’s rage is a common thing in the world. You see people conspiring against each other; you see people devising means to bring another down, you see men planning harm and evil against men like themselves. You see men not happy with a man’s progress; you see men that thirst for other men’s blood. What a world! You see men not seeing anything good in what you do, despite doing well. You see men ready to frustrate a man’s effort. You see men desperate to make a man worthless and useless. You see men unsatisfied despite satisfying them; you see men imagine vain things against another. Psalm 2 vs. 1-3: Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying: let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. The heathen raged and people imagined vain things against the LORD and against his anointed. The anointed here was JESUS, despite all evidences of miracles, signs and wonders; the people still imagined vain things against Him. The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers gathered together against the LORD and against CHRIST. Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel conspired against GOD’s anointed JESUS. Though all these happened that the scriptures might be fulfilled. They forgot there is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. Proverb 21 vs. 30: There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. They forgot the bible said touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 2 vs. 4: He that sits in heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision.
However, after Peter and John healed the lame man at the beautiful gate and taught people about CHRIST, they were seized and jailed. The priest and captain of temple guard, and Sadducees were grieved, because they were proclaiming the good news. They questioned them by what power or name have they performed miracle. They saw the healed man and were not convinced. They conferred among themselves what should be done. Act 3 vs. 16: Saying, what shall we do to these men? For that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. Vs. 17: But that is spread no further among the people, let us straightly threaten them that they speak henceforth to no man in his name. The heathen rage against the LORD and his anointed, but they were being laughed at by GOD, for He has them in derision. As a bonafide child of GOD, you are his anointed. The heathen will surely rage against you, but be rest assured they shall be confounded and dismayed. You just have to call upon your Father GOD, to come to your rescue. He will surely deliver you from all sorts of rage. 1 Chronicles 16 vs. 22: Saying, touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. It is well with us…

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
