WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

RACE TO ETERNITY   Hebrews 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. -------------------------------------------- In a race, no one wants to be last. Everyone strives to be the first to finish it. Even when they all know that one person has to emerge as a winner, they all try their best with hard work and each person knows will win.  Anyway, our race in salvation is not a win lose. We all are meant to win. But then if we all must win, who are we fighting against. Then we should say that the Battle is between two personalities; the deeds of darkness and the deeds of light.  There is one side that is to win and th

THE "WE" CLAUSE   Matthew 14:23  After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, -------------------------------------------- On several occasions, Jesus left His gathering and went to pray. He went in the quiet when He was all alone...to meditate.  Have you ever wondered why the alone stage was set by christ?...why occasionally He went away from the gathering? Well, the answer is because the relationship with God requires a personal move. It is obvious that the power of unity accomplishes much. That even fellowship is essential to all of those who believe. It is one way we build "fire". But have you ever thought about the reason as to why God will judge individual and not groups.? It is because in all things, God is looking at you and the relationship you have with Him. There are many Christians today that go to church simply because many are going. If 10 or more have not gone, they wi

ENLIGHTENED IN NEW REALMS.  1 Corinthians 13:12  Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known . -------------------------------------------- There is world that rules against our odds. There are people that take advantage is of the many to make their desires come true even at the expense of the many. They at worst hide in the name of Christ to fullfil their agenda. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. We have been made to shed tears just because of the upper hand of the wolves in sheep's clothing. But one very important element is that they hide it from our view. What they do, when they do it,how they do is all is blurred to us. However, time is to come when all these are made clear to every human being and that we shall know all their agenda.  But besides that, there are countless questions that we have whose answers are just like a reflection of the questions.

CONNECT   Psalms 2:8  Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. -------------------------------------------- Have you ever wondered how much our heavenly father posses.? Obviously we won't know unless He tells us. But why is it that He doesn't splash much of that wealth to us so that we have enough of it all.?  Well, the truth is found within scripture. There is an element among the many that our God is looking for in order for us to receive all that we desire. He needs us to connect. The scripture tells us that we only need to ask of him and He will make us in possession of the great things that we know He owns. The important thing here is to ask.  There are many times we go about grumbling of not receiving this and not receiving that. But there are also many times that we keep it to our selves and not ask God. God wants to build a relationship with us. He wants to be your friend. He wants to go on the journey w

RARE FAITH   Luke 1:45  Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!” -------------------------------------------- The heroes of our generation came to be called so because of faith that they exhibited which no one was willing to exhibit. They stepped in places that no one was willing to step. They saw lines that know one was willing to see. And most importantly, they said,"it is possible"... even when it seemed not to be. Their being outstanding is from rare faith. Believing in things that they don't see but they hope exist. Very much in the Bible, the Lord speaks of how we can only please him through faith. And that even for his good promises, they only come to be after faith has come to be.  In the scripture we see how Mary had believe words that said that she would conceive a child . She knew that in her state, she wouldn't conceive because she was still virgin. But nevertheless, she accepted.  Rare faith is

EARTHLY MISFITS  1 John 3:1  How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him -------------------------------------------- There are countless times we have been treated in somewhat hard way just because we are called Christians. Your leader at work seems to be of another faith . He makes sure he gives you the hardest of the tasks just because he hates whatever you call your self. It is no surprise that such acts happen to us. In as much as we bare the name of He that was treated that way, we have to go through that tunnel.  But however, even when we seem to be earthly misfits, there is greater love with us than what the world gives. There is greater kindness here with us than what our earthly leader gives us. We are children of the most high. We have royalty.  There is one mistake i have noticed with many of believers. They normally think

KINGDOM TIDINGS   Hebrew 13:6  So we say with confidence,  “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” -------------------------------------------- If you were set to a line of souls that are yet to be dismissed to the earth, what opinion would you have about your coming to earth? Obviously you would say I don't want to go to the earth. You wouldn't like to be apart of this "noisy" world. We all - at one point feel we wouldn't have liked being apart of this world. This is so because of the seemingly unending troubles that we face.   But one very important feeling that drives such thought is the feeling of "am all alone....am struggling all alone". Nevertheless, there is good news today.... kingdom tidings. The confidence we see in our scripture is that "the Lord is our helper" and that since He is our helper, " what can man do". And that knowing all these, " 'we' will not be afraid. C
