KNOWLEDGE   Hosea 4:6  my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children -------------------------------------------- One pastor said that whenever we asks God to help us through a circumstance, He either sends someone to help us through or give us knowledge to figure our way through. So that means that at one time He will give us a helper to take us through the circumstance. And at another time He will give us the rightful knowledge to get through the circumstance. Knowledge is power. You couldn't be where you are now if you know more than you know now. One great tool God has used to let some people spin around some points without getting further is the knowledge they can have access to. You know scientist have had alot of things they plan on accomplishing, but they have failed in alot of them. What they have succeeded in i

ZERO TO HERO   Psalms 113:7-9  He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; 8 he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. 9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord. -------------------------------------------- In the citadel of Susa was a Jew who with others had been carried into exile by Nebuchadnezzar. Mordecai as the Jew, had adopted a seemingly desperate girl. A girl who after had lost everything including her mother and father had become increasingly desperate. He took her as her own daughter.  Them living under the confines of king Xerxes were subject to his decrees. The king decreed, ...he had lost his stuborn wife through Persian policies and now needed another wife. He passed a decree for nobles to find him a better wife.  And because Jews were part of the decree, some ladies including Esther were taken for scrutiny.  And if you remember the story, after 10months of beauty a

CRUCIFIED   Matthew 27:32  As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews -------------------------------------------- They all had gone. They all had left. Even those that denied Him left. He was alone. He laboured with the cross. He was rolled to the valley of death. He was trashed as though he contained nothing. Surprisingly, the priests were behind His agony. They really loved to see Him like that. Have you ever wondered what kind of priests were these men; these men who by all means made bribes with Judah; t

 ONE CHANCE ONE CHANGE 1 Peter 3:18  For christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit -------------------------------------------- In those days, people could have animals sacrificed as a way of sanctification. Animals were slaughtered many time as long a someone sinned. God put an end to that. He sent his son Christ to die for our sins once and for all. There will be no more prophecy about the Messiah. There will be no more promise for a Redeemer. It's a one chance...one Redeemer. Many false prophets have come to claim that they are Jesus and have come to save the world. Well of course they perform miracles. They have exra-ordinary power. It's wolve in sheep's clothing. Remember that very many rebellious Angels and Lucifer were tried to take God's position. It is of no surprise that they still duplicate as "God". And that they have the power

  CHOSEN FOR PARADISE   Luke 23:42  Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” -------------------------------------------- The two men that were crucified with Jesus were criminals. They had gone through all their lives having crime after crime. They murdered. They stole . They did all sorts of things that society never wanted. And even within them, they knew that if they were to be judged by God, they would fall prey of hell. They consciously knew their stained garment. When it came to the time of crucification. They realised Christ being part of the line. Was he a murderer? Was he a thief? Of course he wasn't. They knew Christ was innocent and they even knew Him as Christ and not just Jesus. The ancient prophecies had always empathized the personality of Christ. And that he was God.  Even at that say, one criminal went on to speak ill about their state with

  LIFE IN THE SKULL   Isaiah 53:5  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. -------------------------------------------- It could never have happened that there is life, there is peace and there is grace. In the years of Noah, there were enemies of God all over the land. They sinned greatly to the point of making God regret why he made them. God however knew that he had to deal with them in one way or the other. He planned to wreck mayhem all over the so-called civilization. He sent a collosal flood that couldn't help but wash down a trashed civilization from the holy planet. Times started again and people multiplied. But as they got larger and larger in number so did iniquity and sin. It was as if the ancestoral demonic DNA had grown again. Sin came. The wages of sin are death but the gift of God is eternal life . God knew he had to punish again. But

  VINDICATION RELOADED   Isaiah 42:1  “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. -------------------------------------------- Long time ago, a people that God loved needed a medium. They needed to feel His love. They needed to hear from Him. He sent a prophet. The prophet led the people out of Egypt. They were stuborn in the whole journey. He sent another prophet. They were sinful and needed a Redeemer. The prophets interceded for them. God sent a prophet one after another. The repentance and cleansing of sin those days was after sacrifice of animal. And many would first approach the prophet before sanctification.   The time was up, God needed a once and for all sacrifice. He sent His son with whom he delights. He was a medium for the great testament. He made a vindication. He washed a way the sins of the world. He holds justice. As the ancient times had those that would carr
