Meekness Of Christ

We Must Accept Circumstances of Life According to God's Will.

A meek and humble person will accept
persecution, mistreatment, suffering, or
hardship without rebelling against God and  without doubting His wisdom. We will accept the fact that He has chosen to allow this to happen for His good purposes.

A. Note the Examples of Moses and Jesus

Example of Moses:
Numbers 11:10-15 - Moses had problems most of us would never submit to. People constantly
complained about his leadership, even though he was just doing what God said. How many of us would have stood for it? No wonder he was called the meekest man on earth! In fact,
it was a complaint against him that
occasioned the statement that he was so meek (12:1-3).

Example of Jesus:
Acts 8:32,33 - He was led as a sheep to the slaughter [Isaiah 53:7f].
Matthew 26:39 - Was it hard for Jesus to go to the "slaughter"? Did this take meekness? He said, "Not my will but thine be done."
Philippians 2:8 - Jesus left the glory of
heaven, humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of the death on the cross.
Consider how much humility and meekness would be required for one to willingly leave the
glory of heaven to come to earth to live as a man and die as a criminal to save others.

B. Application to Us

Hebrews 12:2-6 - Jesus was our example. We should be willing to submit to suffering just as
He did. We have suffered nothing like He did, yet we often tend to rebel against our
problems.
Deuteronomy 8:1-5,15,16 - God allows
circumstances that chasten us in order to keep us humble, submissive to His will, and dependent on Him. This will do us good in the end.
We want to control our own lives. I get
panicky when I feel unable to do anything about problems I don't want to face. But facing hardships, that we cannot solve alone, helps make us humble. We see our weakness
and we turn to God for help. Then we
appreciate Him and see our need for Him.
This does not mean we should blame God for causing all problems that come, nor does it mean we only have problems when we sin.
Sometimes our problems are caused by our own sins. But sometimes, like Job, we have not sinned, but God allows Satan to cause hardships. Satan is ultimately responsible for the existence of troubles, but God uses them to
make us humble.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 - Paul's thorn in the flesh kept him from being overly exalted.
Satan, not God, brought the problem. But God allowed it to remain, because it produced good for Paul. So our problems may be allowed because they keep us from becoming proud and self-reliant. This does not mean we should put ourselves in hard circumstances, nor that we avoid improving our circumstances. If we can escape our problems, we should do so and give
thanks to God. But if He chooses to allow the problem to continue, we should not blame Him but appreciate the lessons such problems can teach us. Hardships work for our good if we endure faithfully. The meek and humble person realizes this and submits without rebelling or
being bitter against God.

They deceived us, Its all lies... "Christ The Only Way"

It all started as freedom propaganda. The lie was told so subtly that we didn’t notice. To gain popularity, they convinced us that it was all about gender equality. Then they preached to us, saying it was a human rights and child rights agenda. To draw the attention of women, they hid under Women Empowerment Campaigns. We saw everything they did as part of civilisation. Because of this, we applauded them and blindly sang their praises. We were so blind that we did not notice when they went from equality to role reversal, and from ‘rights’ to ‘wrongs’. They told us it was all a matter of understanding. I mean, if she earns more than he does, why can’t she be the head while he submits? They told us we had the right to our bodies. They told us that if the guys can do ‘it’ anytime with anybody, so can the girls. They introduced free love, and ‘friends with benefits’, and convinced us that we were just exercising our rights to enjoy our bodies. We agreed. Which youth wouldn’t? When we complained about STDs, they introduced condoms, and even started sharing it to us free of charge in our secondary schools. They told us that from the age of 16, we had the right to do whatever we wanted to. This made us to start seeing our parents and school teachers as toothless bulldogs as they no longer had the right to discipline us. Talk of sweet freedom!  When we complained about teenage pregnancies, they told our 'parents/teachers' to educate us about contraceptives as early as possible. Then they introduced the reformed sex education in our school as a guise to give us more condoms. Some of us still got pregnant, and we complained yet again. So they decided to legalise abortions. This was in a bid to help us. (You see, they really cared about our future, and wanted to ensure that we live a free life) Abortion made sense to us. So we accepted it. I mean, why bring a child you don’t want or can’t take care of into the world? We felt a bit guilty because it seemed like murder. But they told us not to worry. According to them, what we were doing was merely taking out an unwanted foetus, and not killing a child. Yet again, we accepted it, and got pacified. They said that we weren’t supposed to be accountable to any deity, religion, our parents or the society. Next, they told us we had the freedom to do what we wanted with our lives, so far as we weren’t hurting other people or trampling on their rights. Almost immediately, we stopped regarding God and His ways. We rather chose to play football, hang out, or watch seasonal movies on  Sundays and quiet time became history. Christianity also became a thing of the weak and only for them. We also decided to experiment with homosexuality. It seemed like fun, and they encouraged us. When we told them that the society frowned against our choice, they legalised it and told us we can get married too. We decided to go further and experiment with drugs. They frowned against it publicly, but we still had access to it. Moreover, we were minors, and the law enforcement agents couldn’t really punish us. We looked for role models and they gave us Hollywood stars with multiple divorce stories, musical icons addicted to drugs/alcohol, and sports stars with numerous extra marital affair scandals. They told us, that those celebrities were successful and free and we should aspire to be like them. Some of us started pumping iron, getting tattoos, and injecting steroids in order to look as manly and as ‘successful’ as our role models. We started seeing fidelity as a sign of weakness. And just like our ‘role-models’, we started going after everything in skirt. We equally tore off pictures of our successful and ‘sexy’ looking role models off celebrity magazines, and pasted them on our mirrors. We started dieting like mad so we can lose weight and look like them. We noticed that they hardly wore any clothes, so we followed suit. When we became bored, they introduced us to their clubs and night parties. They told us to throw caution to the winds and just have fun. Even when some of us got raped, they encouraged us to shut up and keep having fun. Some of us became addicted to alcohol, but we were told not to worry that it was one way to prove our manhood, so we continued. At a time we noticed that we had lost our will. We had become their slaves without knowing it. We noticed that we didn’t have any reason to live again, and life was no longer purposeful. In the bid to look sexy, some of us became victims of anorexia nervosa. Many started contemplating suicide. Many more had STDs. Some of us experienced series of psychological traumas and mental breakdowns. A lot more dropped out of school as a result of unwanted pregnancies, drugs, or an abortion that went wrong. At this point we saw our future get dashed before our faces. We started looking for whom to blame. After a fruitless search, we had to admit that we didn’t even know who ‘they’ were. Then reality dawned on us. We remembered our fathers telling us that “unlimited liberty is slavery in disguise”. We also remembered when our mothers told us that “freedom without checks and balances is tantamount to advanced bondage”. By then it was too late for us. We had bought ‘their’ freedom lie. Maybe for you, it is not yet late. Then please don’t be deceived by their lies and evil propaganda. Do not be swayed by their subtle message of freedom. They’re all lies! We can prove it with our relationships, drug addictions, unwanted pregnancies, violent tendencies etc. Parents please introduce Christ to us as early as possible with serious emphasis, if not 'they' would hijack us before we/you know it. Only Jesus can SAVE!!!  Beware, and please warn other youths so the menace will not colonise all of this generation.

Where Do You Go From Here? Heaven? OR Hell Fire?

...Words Of Life...

Question to answer. But before you attempt to answer it, ask yourself the following questions.

Where did I come from? How did I come here? And What is the purpose of coming to this life?
Perhaps, you have an idea of where you are going. If not, I will help you.

The general answer to this question is, from here I will go to heaven: The answer is right, but is it true to everybody? Do you know that God created everybody, but He is not the father of everybody? Going to Heaven means being in God's bosom paradise and if you are not His child, please forget it.

How do you become His child?
John 1:12(NKJV)says; But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children (child) of God, to those who believe in His name.
My dear, this verse is talking about the only way to heaven. And who is this way? Our Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6). It is not enough when you say I believed in Jesus Christ, as we do every Sunday. We must confess and forsake our sins. (Romans 3:23 & Proverbs 28:13)

My dear, it is also very easy if you can yield yourself to the only way to eternity. Heaven is real and Hell is real. Believe it or not it is a true fact. If you want to spent eternity in Heaven, please accept Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God as your Saviour and Lord. How do you know you have done so? For the Bible says, those who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that make you a slave again, but you receive the spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry "Abba Father". The spirit himself testifies with our own spirit that we are God's children. (Romans 8:14-16).

Even as the spirit bears witness, know it now that there is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit.  (Romans 8:1).

In conclusion, we can now see that all children of God go to Heaven from here. What about you my dear? God loves you and wants you in his bosom.
He does not want you in that place of torment and gnashing of teeth.

Decide now my dear. There is no time, accept the Lord Jesus Christ and go to Heaven. Reject Him and go to Hell.

Remain Blessed As We Await The Pentecost Day!

Why You Haven't heard from God (Part 2)

....Words Of Life....

1 Samuel 3 vs 5 - 10; Says

5. He ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Eli said, I did not call you; lie down again. So he went and lay down.

6. And the Lord called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I; you did call me. Eli answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again.

7. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet revealed to him.

8. And the Lord called Samuel the third time. And he went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.

9. So Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down. And if He calls you, you shall say, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10. And the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel! Samuel! Then Samuel answered, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.

...As a Christian who is growing in your new faith in Christ; You need a mentor who will guide you through the ladders of christaindom. In the above Scripture, Samuel had a spiritual father Eli, who guided him through till he was able to hear the voice of the Lord.

...My point is that most of us ignore the voice of the Lord without knowing it just because we are not guided by someone(Mentor)... The Lord speaks to you everyday without you hearing him.

...So as you grow in faith, I urge you to find a spiritual father, a mentor and a friend who is spirit filled to guide you in that path that leads to righteousness..

..."Let the holy spirit lead your life for he is our spiritual mentor"...

Why You Haven't Heard From God (Part 1)

...Words Of Life...

Why You Have Not Heard From God (Part 1)

1 Samuel 3 vs 3 & 4; Says..
3:3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; 3:4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

I want to remind us that before the Lord can locate and speak to you, you must have made yourself available by preparing your temple which is your body for him to dwell in..
In this Scripture above, Samuel made it a duty to always dwell in the presence of the Lord which made it possible him to hear from God himself.

Most times when God wants to visit us, it happens that we are not readily available to receive him or hear from him; Get yourself connected by dwelling in his presence and allowing the holy spirit to direct your path to righteousness.

#Shalom #ChristTheOnlyWay

Put All Your Eggs In One Basket (Christ)

....Read My Words....
I say unto you... I have learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learnt to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people even when you think you know them well -are ultimately unknowable.
Trust only your Lord thy God, For only him can not forsake you!
In Him Victory is assured, Protection is a must, and the future is bright.
