How They Dishonoured God! 0
In Malachi chapter one God said He was being dishonoured. Specifically we are informed in the words of God as follows,
“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: If then I be a father, where is mine honour? And if I be a master, where is my fear? Saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?” (Mal 1:6).
God said He was being dishonoured by the group of people who should be in the forefront of those honouring Him. Read more [...]
Are You Dishonouring God? 0
Many believers in Christ speak flippantly of their priesthood to God. They mostly cherish the idea but give little thought to what it entails. Many assume they are just alright and claim that all are priests and are therefore equal.
But this is not the whole the truth.
According to 1 Peter 2, all believers in Christ are priests,
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness Read more [...]

Let the Word of God Rule Your Life 0
The world is currently stooping under the burden of the corona virus pandemic. This corona virus pandemic has shown how much connected human beings even as they live widely apart and across the world. It has also exposed the fragility and inadequacy of all the systems set up by human beings purportedly for the good of human beings.
Further, it also demonstrates that the only things that can endure are those things that have the approval of God.
Right now, numerous people are living in fear Read more [...]
One Tough Command That Must Be Obeyed! 0
Many times, we focus on our needs, not that it is bad for us to ask that our needs be met by God. He Himself has promised us that much. Problem comes when we use the degree to which our needs have been met as the standard for judging the health of our relationship with God.
Thus, you find that those who consider their needs to be more than met see God as good and that they are pleasing Him in whatever they are engaged in, even if such engagements are spoken against in His word.
On the other hand, Read more [...]
Beware that your attitude does not portray you as one of the foolish 0
Many believers in Christ are so sure of their faith that they claim that nothing can shake them. That nothing will make them want to think evil of God. On the surface that sounds nice and even spiritual. Yet many are living like God has left them or that they never knew God in the first place. Peter the apostle once boasted that he would never deny the Lord even if others did. He was to later regret that boast as in the face of potential persecution and possible death, he reneged and denied his Read more [...]
Be a true disciple of Christ and not just one of the multitudes 0
Many Christians are self-certified and self-satisfied with their Christian life. This often despite a lifestyle that is obviously not in line with the word of God. Some excuse themselves by claiming that they are followers of Christ who are yet to become Christ’s thus creating artificial categories amongst the disciples of Christ.
However, there is only one group of Christ’s disciples in Scripture. Hence, those who claim to be followers while waiting to become disciples are drawing conclusions Read more [...]
Practice Your Christianity NOW! 0
Before we begin, have you ever thought of how to answer the
question “What makes a person a Christian?”
Many profess to be Christians or believers in Christ. But
one wonders how many can sensibly explain what
it means to be a Christian to an unbeliever.
Perhaps many who claim to be Christians live the way they live because
they do not understand who or what makes one a Christian. I would encourage us
to reflect on this on our own.
One major expectation and living hope of the Christian Read more [...]
The Wonderful Gift from the God of All Wonders 0
The only true and living God has given an unsurpassable gift to mankind. What have you done with the wonderful gift of God.
Your concept of God
The giving of gifts is a habit that is common to every community of humans. People give gifts and receive gifts for various reasons. What seems equally common is that most give gifts or receive gifts from people they consider to be friendly to themselves.
People usually overlook or ignore those they have had a quarrel with, or those they dislike, Read more [...]
The Truth about Hell and How to Avoid Going to Hell 0
We are going to revisit one of the subjects that many claim, makes Christianity a turn-off for them. Many Christians also misunderstand this subject as they only have a vague knowledge of it. Because many claim, not to be able to reconcile their own idea of a loving God with unending punishment, they claim there is nothing like hell.
If a person does not understand the ways of God, should God thereby be cast in their image or whatever caricature of God they want?
In fact, many Read more [...]
