I know many will still make mockery because of me and my situation once more. I have not post here for day because of the fear of people's reactions. Today I came across a song. It seems it is a very old song. It is my first time listening to it and please kindly permit me to share. It actually soften my heart and release me of some pain. THE OLD RUGGED CROSS On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross) Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown To the old rugged cross I will ever be true It's shame and reproach gladly bear Then he'll call me some day to my home far away Where his glory forever I'll share And I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross) Till my trophies at last I lay down And I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown

Matthew 24:14 NW — And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. 1 Thessalonians 5:3 NW — Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.

It is not the number of response we get but the impact we creat in the society.

😭

I must confess. For some time, I have developed hatred to some particular people. Each time I see them post encouraging passages or messages, I feel i don't have to reply. I juat had that wound because of a statement made. I didn't juat think about being kind, I thought about forgiveness and letting go. We don't know what the other person is experiencing, we can suspect but we are not sure. May the Lord see us through.

This is a humble cry from my heart from Lamentation 5. 1. Remember, Lord, what has happened to us, look, and see our disgrace. 2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners. 3 We have become fatherless, our mothers are widows. 4 We must buy the water we drink; our wood can be had only at a price. 5 Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are weary and find no rest. 6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread. 7 Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment. 8 Slaves rule over us, and there is no one to free us from their hands. 9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the desert. 10 Our skin is hot as an oven, feverish from hunger. 11 Women have been violated in Zion, and virgins in the towns of Judah. 12 Princes have been hung up by their hands, elders are shown no respect. 13 Young men toil at the millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood. 14 The elders are gone from the city gate, the young men have stopped their music. 15 Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning. 16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned! 17 Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim 18 for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it. 19 You, Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. 20 Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long? 21 Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return, renew our days as of old 22 unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

God created Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve gave birth to Can and Abel. Can killed Abel and move to the land of Nod. Can father Enoch. My worries 1. Who were those in the land of Nod? 2. Who created them? 3. Were they created or are descendent od somebody? 4. Are they also decendants of Adam and Eve?

May his victory over death bring us salvation and victory over setbacks

Mathew 24:36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Amen

Prayed for you

God is the maker and giver of all things. Nothing happens by chance

Honestly, all my life i believed in Luck, today i read a christian magazine and in summary i will say All things are known, beforehand, by God. Therefore, we know things don’t happen because of luck.(Ephesians 1:11) In proverbs16:9, the bable says" The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." However, it also depends on our view of God having a purpose for everything, or if we believe that God takes a step back, and uses what happens. As Christians we believe that everything that does happen is for a purpose.others may believe that not everything that happens has a purpose and might be because of chance or “luck. So according to definitions, luck or chance is what brings good or bad things to happen to people. In Ecclesiastes 7:13, the bible says "Consider the work of God; For who can make straight what He has made crooked" So therefore I believe all things happen for a reason and that God dictates our path as believers. He guides us and works all things together for good to those who love God, for His glory. I think that things do happen randomly and that it may look like chance. But that ultimately God is the one who sees the path before us and brings opportunities before us. I will gladly welcome More edification. I do not have a bible and mostly read from people's materials online. It will be a pleasure to hear from you.

It is not that we have God given authority over Satan, rather, it is that Christ in us does. “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). In Jude 9 where Michael, one of the archangels, would not dare to pronounce a judgment against the devil, but instead said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Luke 9:1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

Are you genuinely Born again? It's bigger than denomination, race or colour. It's about the death, burial & resurrection of JESUS CHRIST. It's about your genuine response to this matter! Search your heart and see if you are just a "Church goer", a Sunday christian or a christian group administrator. Jesus didn’t die for nothing. He didn’t die a religious death. Get ready. Onne of these days, he will come back. He is coming again. And the death in Christ shall raise first and we will caught up with them in the air. He is coming for a church without spot, without wrinkles , a church that is holy and undify, a church that is holy and working in the words of the lord, manifesting the reality of the kingdom of God. Lord Jesus I believe in you. I keep your consciousness in mind, in my soul and in my spirit. And i walk in the knowledge of your Victor. I am the victor that you have made me. I will not succumb to the pressure of this life. Christ Jesus, you have given me power and victory over all. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen

l have learned that the Sadducees refused to go beyond the written Torah (first five books of the Bible) and thus, unlike the Pharisees, denied the immortality if the soul, bodily resurrection after death and the existence of angelic spirit. my question is; 1. Was is this same bible? 2. Hopefully before Christ. After Christ, did they not still believe in the resurrection?

Jesus, your grace is enough for me.

No one, least of all those we love and those who love us, can promise us no more tears. It's a condition of love that tears will flow. The text was Revelation 7:9-17-"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." As christians, we are not sealed or baptized from challenges of life but rather we are made ready to go through whatever comes against us in our faith journey. In other words, baptism does not exempt us from sickness, betrayals, wars and other calamities but our participation in it signals God’s presence in and around our lives through and beyond this life. In heaven, no one not be hungry and homeless. For Christian, death is an immediate translation into the presence of the Lord. We exchange earth for heaven. We exchange the temporary for the eternal, the pain of groaning for the joy of glory. Amen

The earthquake that happened in Syria and Turkey happened just for 45 seconds, meaning less than one minute. So far more than 41,000 people have died and still counting. Within the same 45 seconds landlords have become homeless, children have become orphans,wives have become widows, husbands have become widowers ,some people are still missing as well as those who can run did run leaving everything behind. Rescue teams are not searching for houses, gold, money, handsomeness, beauty and all but they are just searching for people. Let us value people for within just 45 seconds everything can change. Let's value and respect our fellow human beings as well as our human relationships for as long as we are here. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, tomorrow is never promised. #LetLoveLead. Copied

Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.” - (2 Chronicles 6:23) Here, we read of the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem by King Solomon. He called on God to hear the prayers of the people and to forgive and restore the repentant so that the people might fear Him and walk in His ways. He specifically requested that God requite the wicked and justify the righteous. Judgment is consistent with love. A God of love must be a God of justice. His justice balances His love and makes His acts meaningful. The world is corrupt and polluted with sin. For a long time. Every imagination of man’s heart had been evil continually. Will man continue in his wilful disobedience and rebellion against God? No, for “...He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness...” (Acts 17:31). In justice and righteousness will Christ judge all ungodly deeds of men: secret sins, every idle words such as gossip, backbiting and slandering; all foolish and non-edifying corrupt practices. God’s judgment will be without partiality or respect of persons. He will judge the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the educated and the illiterate, the highly respected and the most despised. The God of justice will receive no bribe to pervert judgment on the great day. Fortunately, true believers whose names are written in the Book of Life will not face the judgment since their judgment has already taken place at the point of salvation and their sins cleansed by Christ.

I used to think that Egypt, Israel and Jerusalem are in heaven

Anxiety kills. Life itself is vanity, man is vanity, Plavious is vanity. I learned this the hard way. I am glad i finally accepted the truth. Permit me say this. I have been so worries about my security and food and accomodation and health and that have been traumatizing me. At one point, i lost hope of everything and i felt better. I was angry with God but till date and forever he remain God, the i am that i am and the prince of peace. Today i am still what God wanted and God still supreme. Vanity is vanity
