THE PIRATE EXPERIENCE

THE PIRATE EXPERIENCE
Experience they say is the best teacher. There are disgusting experiences. There are experiences called the fiery test tube. There are unpleasant experiences. There are experience a man faces that shakes his faith. There are experiences that bring out the good, bad and ugly. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience”. Also, Ralph Waldo Emeron wrote “All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen”. Everyone will surely face one experience or the other; but trusting in GOD makes one come out strong and victorious in any experience he/she face. Job faced his own experience, but he was steadfast and believed in the Redeemer. He said in Job 23 vs. 8-12: Look, I go forward, but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold him, when He turns to the right hand, I cannot see him. But He knows the way I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. He was tested and he came forth as gold, because his foots follow the steps of GOD. He came forth as gold in his experience because he didn’t turn aside. Many turn away from GOD when they are faced by unpleasant experience. He came forth as gold because he didn’t depart from GOD’s commandment and treasure GOD’s words than his food.
          That fateful morning, I believed in the Redeemer that keeps Israel and neither sleeps nor slumbers and told him to see me through my trip from the island where I was to the upland. It’s almost an hour plus voyage on the sea. However, before my trip there have been news about pirates raiding the sea and dispossessing people of their goods and belongings. But I was rest assured of what the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 23 vs. 4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. On our voyage, about thirty minute the boat driver suddenly changed our course and said the pirate’s boat is approaching; then he started heading back towards the jetty where we came from; people on the boat were in disarray. I was like what is happening, but I believed in GOD.  Some were clamoring and shouting that the boat driver should run faster, some were calling the name of JESUS because we saw the said pirate’s boat following our boat. Suddenly, our boat engine stopped amidst the sea and the said pirate’s boat met our boat. At that point people in the boat hiding their valuables; fortunately for us the said pirate’s boat wasn’t that of a pirate; it was a passenger’s boat just like ours. Everybody’s mind was brought back to rest again and our course was changed back again. What an Experience! No matter the experience you find yourself trust GOD and He will never fail you; provided you treasure his words, obey his commandments, follow and walk in his steps.

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
