KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

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...

TATTOOED NAMES Tattoo is an image made in the skin with ink and a needle. Tattoos are many a time difficult to remove. When someone tattoos a name or an image, it shows he has affection for such thing. Affection is a feeling of love or strong attachment. Many human tattoo names on their skins, yet the name fail them. Many human tattoo images they believe in yet the images fail them. But there is someone who has tattooed our names upon his palm. There is someone who has set our walls continually before him. There is someone who has known us since we have been in our mother’s womb. There is someone who has hidden us in the shadow of his hands. There is someone who has made us a sharp arrow in his quiver. There is someone who never loves us conditionally, but loves us unconditionally. There is someone who has brought us out of darkness into his marvelous light. There is someone who never forgets us and deserts us. There is someone who has chosen us as a generation, made us a royal p...

TOLERANCE 2 Tolerance is the ability to endure pain or hardship. It means endurance. CHRIST exhibited tolerance because he obeyed his Father GOD when sent to the world. GOD’s love toward mankind is unfathomable. He that loves will tolerate, he that doesn’t love will not tolerate. Romans 5 vs. 8: But GOD commendeth his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated despites our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated despite our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. If CHRIST could tolerate us then we ought to tolerate others. CHRIST endured a lot just for our sake. Isaiah 53 vs. 5-7: But he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned everyone to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not h...

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...

                         DO YOU WANT A LONG, GOOD LIFE 3? Psalm 34 vs. 14: Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Turning from all known sin is a key to life. The bible refers the soul that sinneth as the wicked. Ezekiel 18 vs. 4 b : the soul that sinneth, it shall die. A soul that keeps sinning cannot live long and have good life. It is better to flee from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5 vs. 22: Abstain from all appearance of evil and pursue it. This is for one’s benefit and generations to come. There is a saying that the evil that men do live after them. Why not pity your generations yet unborn, hold fast unto what is good, abstain from all sort of evil that might come back to haunt you. Show me a man that abstains from all appearance of evil and I will tell you he will have a long, good life. Show me a man that abstains not from all appearance of evil and I will tell you GOD’s face w...

                        DO YOU WANT A LONG, GOOD LIFE 2? Psalm 34 vs. 12-13: What man is he that desires life, and loves many days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. If you want a long, good life keep your lips from lying. A lip that lies is contrary to the things of GOD. A lip that lies is the work of the flesh. A lip that lies is the work of the flesh. A lip that speaks guile is corrupt. Proverbs 12 vs. 22: Lying lips are abomination to the LORD, but they that deal truly are His delight. A lip that speaks guile is deceitful, deceptive, dishonest and fraud. A lip that speaks guile is an unclean lip. A man’s lip can be a snare to his soul. A man’s lips can destroy him. A man need to use his lips wisely. Wisdom is profitable to direct . Proverbs 13 vs. 3: He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; but he that openeth wide his lips shall be destruction. To have a long, go...

                                                    DO YOU WANT A LONG, GOOD LIFE? James 1 vs. 17: (NIV): Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly light who does not change like shifting shadow. GOD is the giver of life. He is the Creator and we are his creations. Long life and Good life is a good thing. This is also one of GOD’s promises for our lives. Psalm 91 vs. 16: With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. Also we have another promise in Isaiah 65 vs. 21-22: And they shall build houses and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. As children of GOD we are to stand on thes...

Ecclesiastes 12 vs. 1: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh; when thou say I have no pleasure in them.
