The love of God is it’s own justification. It pays no heed to merit. In all circumstance , it is unconditional . It cannot be amended

When am I going to see any pastor ask the congregation to write all that is right with them in Christ on a piece of paper and drop it at the altar so everyone can rejoice on who we are?

Not holding my breath

“ It’s no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in me“Gal 2:20

So , exactly what activity is it that if we engage in, then we become part of something greater than us ? What is greater than the life of Christ , the eternal life which is our life as the new creation.? Are we just body and soul or are we the spirit in whom lives the very life of God. These activities we do are because of who we are , who we are is not because of these activities

We may sound humble by mouthing – become part of something greater than you – but what activity is greater than whosoever is in Christ , seated with Him at the right hand of God. I don’t see it

This is what we are dealing with in Nigeria for over 6 years

“ Apart from the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.”Heb 9:22

If children of God insist that for all the times we will miss it, err, sin we must ask for forgiveness or loose fellowship with God, let’s not forget to invite Jesus to shed another blood on the cross for every time we fall

Or we can embrace His once for all sacrifice where He shed His blood for all our sins past , present and future in one go.

Why is it that there is no record of any apostle praying this prayer in the New Testament ?

Because in Christ and through Christ that prayer has been fulfilled

A preacher , overwhelmed , by what he was facing lay down in his hotel room praying and crying for help.

Suddenly a thought exploded in him and it says “ here lies a fool doing all the talking to someone who knows everything

He shut up and began to listen

No evil shall befall us nor shall any plague come near our dwelling

For HE has given his angels charge over us , to keep us in all our ways

Why can’t we question God?

Why can’t I ask my loving father questions ? Who is better than the lord to answer me if tragedy strikes( God forbid)?

My questions are not to doubt him but to draw comfort. I cry out to him , Lord , Lord why? And his words remain unshakeable : Fear not I am with you , I am your ever present help

It doesn’t matter if you are not so educated , if you don’t have the right connections or if you are not the hardest worker, if the grace ofGod is on you , you can go far

But if you are so educated, have the right connections and work hard with the grace of God on you , you will surely go much further
