THE SALVATION OF THE LORD
I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. May God’s grace, may God’s love and may God’s peace abide with you in Jesus name.
Brethren Jesus went through a sacrifice for our sake and we must appreciate that and give him all the glory and all the honour everyday of our life without dispute. we must thank him everyday of our life for his goodness and kindnesses upon us.
God want us to forget about the former things that has happened in our lives, the unpleasant situations or circumstances that makes us sad and makes us feel condemn. He want us to look forward and focus on the future. Whenever the Lord wants to do a new thing, old things passed away, and new thing began in our life. The salvation of the Lord is the new thing the Lord is about to do in our lives.
Brethren, what is Salvation means? It means we had been save from sin and death. It also means we have receive freedom from the sin that enslave me and you. Salvation is also means Deliverance from the powers of darkness and forces of Satan. It also means Redemption of our soul.
Jesus death and resurrection is to save me and you from eternal death. Bible says “for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten son,....”for God is not willing to destroy us his creation has He did before in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Then somebody must be use for sacrifice to take away my pains, my sickness and the wrath of God from my soul. And that somebody is Jesus Christ the son of God. Jesus died that we may have eternal life and our sins would be forgiven.
Therefore, fellow believers in Christ Jesus, let us give great thanks to God in heaven always for given his only begotten son Jesus as atoning sacrifice for our sins. Let us give ourselves fully to his will as we look forward for the redemption of our soul when he calls us home.
May the Spirit of Jesus Christ guide your heart and soul as you wait for the manifestation of his glorious salvation upon us who truly believe in him.
Peace be with you always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour

THE PERFECT PATIENT OF GOD
Bless you brothers and sisters in Christ all around the world, may the glory of the Lord rest upon you. The goal of the gospel of Jesus is all about love. Love that comes with sincere conscience and pure heart. As we come to Christ Jesus the perfecter of our faith, we must allow His Holy Spirit to fill our heart with true love and pure conscience, or else we will not be able to have a right mind to do the will of God.
When Apostle Paul was teaching a message of Christ to some followers of God, He notice that there are some false teachers who are teaching a false doctrine about Christ. The man of God urges these teachers to stop spreading fake doctrine, and not allow themself to be use by Satan to spread fake message. Because they are message that are full of lies, deceit, greediness, love of money etc He urge these false teachers to deviate from such messages. These message does not encourage, strengthen admonish and correct the children of God instead it fills their minds and hearts with all kinds of evil ways.
The Apostle reminds these teachers about the main goal of the gospel of Jesus in the book of 1 Timothy 1:5 which is love that comes from pure heart. And many had deviate from these and turn to a fake gospel which does not bring eternal glory to us. Because love is the greatest command that our Lord Jesus gave to us that we must obey.
God who is rich in mercy and patient desire for us his children to love one another. Jesus said if we love one another, then everyone will know that we are truly his disciple, but if we devour one another, then we are not a true follower of Christ.
Brethren, let us make every effort to walk in true love that comes from God. May the grace and mercy of the Lord be with us always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

WILLFUL BLINDNESS
Bless you dear brothers and sisters, may the spirit of the Lord rest on you. Its a great honour for me to enlighten you about the grace of God that has been pour on us in abundant measure.
Spiritually speaking darkness does not really exist, it only appears when there is no light. The absence of light is the reason why darkness exists, but when there is light, darkness has no existence. When there is no light of God in us, then darkness takes hold of our mind and heart. Jesus said, “if you have light in you, how great is that light, and if you have darkness in you, how great is that darkness?”
These days many followers of Christ living their daily life with darkness all around them and in them. It isn’t because darkness wants to follow them but because there is no light in them. And it happens because they did not create time to bring light on themself.
Light would not come to us by himself as many people presume or assume in their mind. Nothing happen by itself in life, all things are made and exist by God divine authority and power. Therefore, light can only come to us when we seek God fervently and devote ourselves to his word. Because the word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
Without the word of God richly in us as bible says, “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another...”, then we walk in darkness and darkness fill our heart and soul and mind. That is why God gave a strict instruction to us through Joshua that we should mediate on his word day and night (twice daily), so that our life (i:e this life and the eternal life) can prosper. For God’s word is eternal.
Those who are not fill with the word of God, cannot truly live a Holy life of Christ that is full of faith.
I pray that God will direct your heart to his word and may his word takes a deep root in your heart and mind.
God bless you and peace be with you always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord and saviour,

PROPER WORSHIP
Brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and saviour, In the book of John 4:23 “the Lord Jesus said a time is coming and the time is now, when the true worshipper we will worship the father in Spirit and truth for they are the kind of worshippers the father seeks.” For God is a spirit and his worshippers must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Brothers and sisters in the Lord, this is a fundamental precept about God, this is his rules, this is how He want me and you to honour him, not how we like it. We must not do as pleases us. We must follow his way and not our own way.
In these situation brethren, I believe the Lord Jesus makes it easy for us, by telling us how he wants his service to be done, sometimes it is difficult to really know the kind of worship someone prefer. but in God’s case, He has made it easy by giving us a guidance steps to follow.
A proper worship is not only to sing a song every day or to go to church regularly, or to give to the poor and read your bible daily. No, but a proper worship that God desire from us is first to Acknowledge him in every area of our lives. And to know that the Most High is not a servant but a King, a great King.
And whenever we come before his presence or open our mouth in praise to him, we must realize that the God of Heaven and earth is not an ordinary person. We must reverence him deeply from our heart and bow our heads down before him and go on our kneels before the creator of all things and the Lord of all spirits and mankind. For He knows everything that is in our hearth and mind, and He cannot be deceive by anyone patronizing words or songs. He prefers we open our heart and mind to him fully and worship him or serve him from our inner being and not on outward service.
When we serve him in these ways, then there is a great changes and transformation in our lives. When our spirit and our heart fully devoted to him, then all things are possible for us, and nothing will be able to stand against us. This is a proper worship that God require from us.
May his Spirit draws our hearts and minds to the true worship of God, may his compassion and love moves our spirit to his worship. God bless you as you make effort to please him in every way.
Peace be with you always.
