n Genesis 7:2, God told Noah to, ‘take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate.’
Inside Noah’s ark, there is a space for ferocious lion, gentle lamb, aggresive tiger, large hippopotamus, small mosquitoes, might elephant, tinniest microbes, smart babbons, dullard ostrick, stubborn goat, beautiful peacock, dirty pig and all kind of animals with their behaviours both the preys and the predators.
Today, we have a better ark which is JESUS ARK (as He is both the owner and the builder of this better ark). Inside this ark, there is a space for adulterous Mary, lying Joseph, beautiful Joke, Ugly Dayo, murderous Jonah, betrayal Peter, persecutor Paul, selfish James and John, rich Matthew, poor Samaritan, Dr. Luke, illiterate James and all kinds of people have found solace in JESUS’ ARK of eternal salvation.
Another interesting thing about Noah’s ark is that once an animal steps inside the ark, it loses its known behaviors and take on the attitude of peaceful co-existence. Lion and lamb are living together for 40 days and no problem.
Same way, inside JESUS’ ARK, once you step you must lose your former attitude and take on the attitude of Jesus.
Inside JESUS’ ARK, there is no Jew, no Gentile, no master, no slave, no rich, no poor, no class as we are brethren. Once you step into this ark, all your sin must be done with and you will be forgiven. The ark can only contain those that have been washed by the blood of JESUS. No matter, you past life, there is still space for you in the ark.
Just as Noah make call then, Jesus is making His call saying, ‘repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.’
The entry ticket then is to heed the warning, the ticket now is to heed Jesus’ call to accept Him as your LORD and SAVIOR.
Won’t you rather ‘ark’ with JESUS? Won’t you rather accept JESUS as your lord and savior now so that you can be save eternally (becausw those of Noah’s were only save temporarily).
If you want to enter the ark, say this word of prayer, ‘Lord JESUS, thank you for dieing on the cross for me, I confess my sin and ask for your forgiveness, I accept you as my Lord and Savior henceforth. Thank you for saving me, my loving Jesus (Amen).
If you genuinely do this, take a step in the ark by joining a bible-believing Church in your locality.
Welcome to the ark, Jesus, the ark owner loves you.

10 LIES ABOUT GOD’S WILL CONCERNING MARRIAGE (Part 1).
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel and watch over you.
1. God doesn’t lead anyone again since Adam’s issue.
This is a lie as GOD is still leading and directing His people as to whom they will marry. Psalm 32:8 said, ‘I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel and watch over you,’ is a promise of God that is not excluding marriage. If you want His will, He will direct you but what He won’t do for you is to woo the girl/boy, you do that by yourself.
God provided the manna, the Isrealites went out to gather it. (Read Psalm 9:10).2. God’s will is always one poor unkempt brother or one ugly sister.
This is highly promoted by our ‘Gospelwood.’ Granted, all that glitter are not gold but it’s also true that that it looks dull doesn’t make it a gold either. God’s will for your own marriage may be that rich brother/sister that is always on well-ironed attires or that that brother/sister that is handsome/beautiful.
The only caution here is that don’t let physical qualities be your guide when presenting or accepting a marital proposal as he/she may come in different mold of richness, education, beauty and class. All need to do is ask for God’s leading and be ready to accept His decision because that he/she answers brother/sister doesn’t mean him/her is truly a brother/sister.
God is not defined by a formula as His will may not suit your taste but will definitely sweeten your taste.GOD WILL NEVER BRING YOU SOMEONE TO SIN WITH
3. Since God brought us together, we can start having sex.
Pure lie as GOD WILL NEVER BRING YOU SOMEONE TO SIN WITH and HE DIDN’T BROUGHT YOU TOGETHER TO COMMIT SIN. He has never, will never and can never encourage sin as Job 34:10 said, ‘ Job 34:10 “So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.’ He loves sinners but abhors sins.
4. My type is not in the Church. This is a pure lie as everything you desire or want in a man/woman as hubby/wiffy is present in a man/woman inside the church. What qualities do you want in a man/woman for a partner? Tall, dark and handsome? literate with or without swag? beautiful? industrious? six pack or figure-8? spirikoko, not-so-spiritual or carnal? rich or poor? slim, chubby or fat? romantic, not romantic or in-between? fashionista or not? talented or not? gentle, aggresive or in-between? All these qualities are inside a man/woman inside the church (and by church,I mean body of Christ throughout the world and not your denomination).
You may not get the person inside your denomination but the person is present in another denominatiom of God’s church.
Your type is in the church so you don’t have any reason to go and marry unbeliever.Remember God’s will is still human and imperfect so you will have to work on your marriage to make it a beautiful orchard.
5. Marrying God’s will automatically translate to marital bliss.
To some extent, it does but this belief is half-truth. Believing such is like Isreal believing that because God’s will for them is cannan, when they get there the street will be oceans of milk and honey without them doing anything to dig the well of such or they believing that upon entering the promised land, houses will build themselves, streets will paved themselves, crops will grow on theirselves without them planting them. Marrying God’s will doesn’t translate to marital bliss because the man or woman is a human with desire for love, care, respect and attention, if you ignore giving your spouse all these things, one day chicken will come to roost even though he/she is God’s desire for you in marriage and two, even God’s will is imperfect like you.
You have to build your marriage after wedding. That he is a child of God doesn’t mean he doesn’t need respect, he needs it as a man. That she is a born again doesn’t mean she doesn’t need love, she want it as a woman. That you are born again doesn’t mean you don’t need good sex, nice food, peace of mind, clothes, shelter, money, love, care, attention, advice, respect and other dainities of marriage. You really need them to function as profitable spouses. You have to keep beautiful for him and you have to look okay for her despite both of you being a Christian.
Marrying God’s will and becoming non-challant about his/her need is like preparing soil, planting a tree and leaving the tree to do anyhow, the tree may grow but it won’t produce maximally.
Remember God’s will is still human and imperfect so you will have to work on your marriage to make it a beautiful orchard.Share this:

WHY DO CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?
#bible #God #Christmas #straightfromthebible.
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV).
Why do Christians celebrate Christmas when it isn’t in the Bible to do (and it is not in the Bible not to do so) and nobody knows the exact date which Jesus was born which is obviously not December 25th?
Christmas is a combination of two Greek words; Christ (the Anointed one) and mass (festival) so Christmas is the celebration of the Anointed One who is our King.
Why do we celebrate Christmas when we know JESUS wasn’t born on December 25th? We celebrate CHRIST because
He is the promised Messiah (Isaiah 9:6).
He is our everlasting King.
He is our Saviour.
He is our Reddemer. (Isaiah 43)
He was born for own sake.
He was the One who die for our sins.
He was the One who rose on the third day.
He was the One who ascended into the heavenlies to be our Great Advocate.
He is our hope without Him, we are nothing.
He is a healer of our souls, spirits and bodies.
He is God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, The Apostels, Church Fathers past and present.
He is our provider.
He is our protector.
He is our promoter.
He is the One we are expecting.
He is our life – the very being of our existence. (Acts 17:28).
He is YAHWEH.
Those are the reasons why we celebrate Christmas despite knowing that He was not born of 25th December (no law said you must celebrate your birthday on the exact day).
But let me caution you it is not all those suppossed Christians that are truly celebrating Christmas because swindlers, drunkers, liars, fornicators, adulterers
murderers, unbelievers and sinners are not celebrating Christmas no matter how big their bible names sound, how large and elaborate their christmas trees are and how prepared they are.
It is only those that are truly born again that are truly celebrating it. However, they maybe rich or poor, lettered or unlettered, living in palace or village, with bible name or not, with christmas trees set up or without, beautiful or not and prepared or not.
WHAT DO WE DO ON CHRISTMAS DAY?
– celebrate Christ
– put on our best clothes
– go to church
celebrate therein
visit the less privileged
visit the orphanages
eating and merry with our families
send gifts to our loved ones
visit the prison
evangelise our neighborhood
spread love abroad
rest
and so much more
For us, the celebration is everyday.
Jesus birthday can only be celebrated by His family members as all other celebratees who are not His family are just unrecognised noisemakers.
Do you want to join JESUS family? You want to be born again, just say this little prayer, ‘Dear Lord, thank You for coming and dieing for me, forgive me of my sin, I accept you as my Lord and Savior today. In Jesus name I pray (Amen).
Welcome to Jesus’ family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
SHALOM.
