    #Lk15v7 I don't need angels cheering me on just so I live for the Lord. I'm not egotistical. I will not add myself to my Pastor's list of prodigals being prayed for repentance and revival. I don't serve and volunteer in the ministry to get people's attention. It's not about me.
    But yes, I want the angels to rejoice with resounding joy and deafening decibels in Heaven as I personally evangelize and take part in soul-winning activities. I join the Hosts of Heaven in cheering and worshipping my God my Savior.
    "In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent." BSB

The Curse of the Thief

I n the middle of audit week, our company accountants decided not to show up. As it turned out, they embezzled some money. What struck me the most was that the people who did it were not strangers; they were like mothers and aunts. We saw them almost every day, smile at them, laugh with them, and made plans together. As part of the management team, we ate out and had a friendly good time. It was heartbreaking to realize that the people in the news for some criminal activity had the same profile as those that I had warm and cuddly relations with. But loyalty goes up. My love for God supersedes any other relationship. I feel sad, yes, but I have no inkling to cover for them. If anything, I am upset because I was this close to them, and yet, clueless. My colleagues and I were mixed emotions. On one hand, we felt betrayed. The suspects were like family. We confided in them and planned activities with them in all sincerity and warmth. But maybe, just maybe, they were truthful and sincere...

Being On God’s Side: The Nonpartisan Obedience And Submission of The Elect

  My choice of candidate is only as good as when I vote. My vote is only as good as when it is counted. But when the tally comes, my choice is irrelevant – God  decides  who is king.   Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (Romans 13: 1 NASB)   Our future does not depend on the person who gets elected, but on the One who sits on the Throne. If God has already decided, then why do I need to vote? This sounds like the clay who talks back to the Potter, “Why did you make me this way?” [see Romans 9:19-20] Let’s admit it: Though we vote according to our conscience, our conscience is formed by information made available to us. We can only know so much about a candidate, but God knows all things. In choosing, our sense of compatibility and personal preference are at work. We like a certain candidate because we feel that we like something about them, or w...

Our FATHER Grants Us A Baby To Teach

  I've chosen him so that he will teach his sons and their families to follow the way of the Lord by doing what is right and good, so that I, the Lord, can do for Abraham what I promised. [Genesis 18:19 FBV]   The Lord does more than just fulfill His baby promise, He also plans ahead for these children and the generations afterward to be taught concerning the things of God. There is a proper way to worship Him, and that established structure is needed to be taught. The Sovereign Lord will always have His way. The God-given promise is not just for a baby, but to bless us entirely. The Lord can only accomplish this when we do our part to obey Him. God's wonderful covenant of blessings is a partnership with us; He can only complete His part when we have done our share of the promise. The parent is always God’s choice to teach their own kids. We lead by example. Our words of instruction lose their power when we don’t practice what we preach. God’s promises are condition...

The Battle For A Baby

  There is no question that God wants every married couple to have a baby. Let there be no doubt about it; it is God’s will for you to have a baby.   By and by, these timeless truths get challenged as the months and years go by and we still don’t have a baby. After some years into our married lives, we begin to ask, “Why are we not pregnant yet?” Our hearts and minds begin to wonder and wander. We are then made aware of some serious information like: - This auntie never had a baby - This cousin had a miscarriage - This one has a cyst and/or myoma…   And the list went on.   We then realize that we are related to a lot of family and relatives who have medical conditions that challenge reproductive health, fertility, and conception. In what seems to be a sad fate, we share a similar genetic weakness.   We begin to worry; we start to doubt. But the good news is God’s promises are not dependent on our circumstances . It is entirely all on God’s ...

Genesis 7

And the Lord said to Noah, “Come - you and all your house - into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast, you must take with you by sevens, the male and its female; and of beasts that are not clean by twos, the male and its female. 3 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and its female, to keep their seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty (40) days and forty (40) nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.” 5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. . 6 And Noah was six hundred (600) years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of everything that creeps upon the earth...

Genesis 3

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Yes, has God said, “You must not eat of every tree of the garden?”” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, “You must not eat of it, neither must you touch it, lest you die.”” 4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die; 5 for God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods, knowing good and evil.” 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves apro...

Genesis 18

  And the L ORD  appeared to him in the plains of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2  And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground 3  and said, “My Lord , if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant. 4  Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree; 5  and I will fetch a morsel of bread and you comfort your hearts. After that, you may pass on, for therefore you have come to your servant.” And they said, “Do so, as you have said.” 6  And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.” 7  And Abraham ran to the herd and fetched a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, and he hastened to have it dr...

Acts 5

the king version     But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2  and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.    3  But Peter said, “Ananias, why has [1] Satan filled your [2] heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4  While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own power? Why have [3] you [4] conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied unto men, but unto God.”    5  And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the spirit [5] , and great fear came on all those who [6] heard these things. 6  And the young men arose, wrapped [7] him up, and carried him out, and buried him.    7  And it was about after [8] three hours later [9] when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8  An...
