  1. As l look around it consciously breaks my heart to see innocent children who are yet not able to make a decision for themselves being raised up in the wrong religion and taught the wrong this . This brings a sincere question to my heart 'what would the fate of this massive islamic ,catholics etc children be eternally . Will it be heaven or hell?
  2. keep your heart with all deligience :for out of it are the issues of life. The first thing to note is the matter of keeping or guarding . This connotes a deliberate or conscious effort . God seems to place on me this responsibility . But why? It is Because of the issues of life . This tells us that the heart contains this life giving water . Whatever is allowed into it no matter how small or dead it is will receive life. It is just like that pool which heals whoever enter and also like putting a meal into the leaven. We must therefore be careful on what enters this pool of life . If we allow evill thoughts it will receive life and blossom. So also will good thoughts .
  3. 1 cor 12 and 14 both have something to say concerning tounges. Some believe that speaking in tounges should be an immediate confirming sign of one who has been filled with the Holy Spirit. Is this true? It wasn't so with A. Paul in acts. Even though he letter spoke. 2ndly,some believe that all Spirit filled believers should speak in tounges but not of neccesity that of pentecot saying there are 2 types of tounges. That of men, as on pentecost which is a gift and that of Angels . He who has a sound insight on this point should speak up and lead atleast some. Your Brother Newman
  4. I'll like to share this piece of publication by a Pastor in Nigeria. I agree with his views too. Romans 11:25 For i would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mistery, kept ye should become wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happene to Israel untill the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. There are two Greek words in that verse that lend critical support to a proper understanding. The first is translated 'full number'. It is a nautical term that describes the pre-determined number of sailors necessary to operate a ship. Until the ship had its full number of crew members, it could not sail. This is why captains sometimes got unsuspecting men drunk and kidnapped them late at night and then set sail immediately. And the second, translated 'come in' is also a nautical term that describe the ships arrival at its destination. By using this terms A. Paul was saying that the blindness will not be fully removed untill the church reaches its pre-determined number and has been taken to heaven. There is nothing arbitrary about God's action here. He has already determined the number and will take the church to its intended destination as soon as that number is reached. Act as far as i can tell no one on Earth knows either the full number or the current number. All we can know is that we'll be raptured when the full number of Gentiles has come in . Thus the message must be reached to the whole world and then the end will come.
  5. At times, there could be isolations that are bad and some caused by demons like the possessed man in the gospel who was isolated in the grave yard but there are also times when our faith brings isolation. This are not times to regret and cry but to say with the writer 'instead of complain that the wait is too long, i will thank God for giving me more time to pray'. Jesus said you would be thrown out of the temple. Brethren indeed time will come in your various field when you will be isolated. The sons of men will isolate you but fear not it is the Master calling you closer to Himself . Apostle Paul through the Spirit knew this; he was led into the desert where he got great revelations . Also Apostle John got the greatest revelation on the ground of isolation. Him and God. Your faith may open to you this door of isolation, be not afraid to come out unto the Lord as it opens. May we be able to say with the Apostle: bid me to come Lord if it be you. Amen
