  • 4 Significances of Easter.

    Halleluyah!

    Our Lord Jesus has risen! He has resurrected! He is not in the tomb again! Amen.

    According to the Scripture, our Lord Jesus died and resurrected on the third day;

    “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’ Mark 16:6-7.

    What are the significances of Easter to us as Christians:

    Easter tell us that our God that promises will fulfill His promises in due time.

    The prophecies about Jesus’ ministry was foretold hundred of years ago before their eventual fulfillment. Many have forgotten about it, many have discarded it and many have come to see it as fable but at the right time in God’s sight, He fulfilled the promises He has made.

    My sister, what is it that God has promised you? He will fulfill it.

    My brother, the covenant God has made with you, He will keep it.
    Is it car, house, marital partner, healing, financial breakthrough, job, etc? Whatsoever He has promised, He will do. Jesus promised to rise on the third day and He did.

    Easter gives us hope.

    Hope of eternal life, hope of eternal kingdom with our risen King and hope of resurrection. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 says;

    Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

    Halleluyah.

    Easter also tells us that we are serving a living God.

    All other religious leaders compulsorily died and never rose again but our Lord Jesus willinly gave His life and on the third day resurrected again, never to taste death again which means our God is not dead.

    He is God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
    He is God of the saints of old and present.
    He is my God and and He is your God.
    He is not dead nor deaf and He still answer prayers prayed in His name.

    Easter tells us about God’s love.

    John 3:16 says;

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    and Romans 5:6-8 also says;

    You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    If He did not deny us of His Son and Himself, what can He deny us?

    Nothing.

    These are some of the significances of Easter but all these benefits are for His children. Are you a child of God? If not, you can become one now by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
    If you are doing so, say this prayer; Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for me. I confess my sin, please forgive me. I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

    Welcome to God’s family, it is that simple but it doesn’t end here. Do find a bible believing church in your locality and join and I also wish to hear from you.

    Lastly from me from Nigeria to you and all other Christians across the world HAPPY EASTER.

  • 10 LIES ABOUT GOD’S WILL CONCERNING MARRIAGE (PART 2).

    Source: Google

    6. He/she speaks on the tongue

    Is it a sin to blast in tongue, sing, prophesy or display any spiritual fruit? not! Displaying one or two spiritual gifts is good but the best is displaying spiritual fruits as listed in Galatians 5:22-23.

    …display of gift without accompanying display of fruits is showmanship at its best.

    That a potential partner display a particular gift doesn’t automatically translate him/her into a good hubby or a good wife because the display of a gift without an accompanying display of fruits is showmanship at its best.

    Don’t fall for showmanship because inside the present church is a demon-filled sister who prophesies, fornicating brothers who see sisters as sexual conquest medals who teach, born-against pastor, corrupt men and women in the choir, men and women with questionable salvation experiences in high positions in the church, so be careful.
    That he/she displays the gift does not mean he/she will be a profitable partner in marriage, the question is is he/she bearing the fruit?
    GOD want you to marry but He doesn’t want you to be miserable in it.

    7. God understand that we are in the 21st century

    Yes, God knows we are in the 21st century and He also knows if we will live to the 22nd century but He doesn’t understand teachings, doings, actions, and postulation associated with this century that are not consistent with His word.
    He doesn’t understand the reason for premarital sex even though that is the norm now.
    He doesn’t understand why you want to submit to unholy sexual invites because Joseph had shown him that it is possible to control one’s urge.
    He doesn’t understand why you become arrogant now because you are now an undergraduate Daniel, and his friends have proven to him that it is possible to be humble, good-looking, and intelligent and still be Christian.
    He doesn’t understand why you want to trade the body for material gains because Mary had shown him that beauty is not a hindrance to godliness.
    God doesn’t understand irresponsibility because Joseph and Timothy have demonstrated to Him that you can be youthful and useful to the church and society.
    What God understands is that His word stands for all ages, cultures and centuries and that if you have transgressed there is a space for you for repentance.

    GOD can’t disown His word for anybody for any reason at any time…God cannot and will not tell you to go and marry an unbeliever even if there are no believing brothers again...

    8. God told me to marry an unbeliever

    God cannot say one thing in the bible and told you to discard his written word. His word is binding on Him. GOD can’t disown His word for anybody for any reason at any time.

    God cannot and will not tell you to go and marry an unbeliever even if there are no believing brothers again ( and He has promised to be your husband self) because He has said ‘do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever and two, nobody becomes a Christian simply because he/she marries a Christian or by going to church. An unbelieving partner is like one aching teeth in your mouth which will eventually cause a bad ache to the entire mouth later if not treated (treatment for an unbeliever is a dose of acceptalin Jesus Christ).
    The only message God has for you to unbelievers is the message of salvation not of marriage.

    9. There is only one man/woman for me

    GOD has indeed destined one particular woman/man as your wife/husband but your marital life is not tied to that particular person because for every Saul and Judas that is fumbling there is always a better David and Mattias to replace them.
    If truly you are led by God to go and met Joke and she said no, report back to GOD for the next line of actions which may be; wait for that person or go to another person. Just report back to GOD and don’t make any move without His binding to do so.
    What if the person dies? Does that mean you are doomed?

    Your marital life is not tied to a single man/woman but to GOD – the originator and sustainer of marriage.

    Absolutely NO! because for every dead and faithful Samuel, there are faithful Nathan, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel still living who will be equally faithful and for every Elijah caught up in the whirlwind, there is Elisha who will do double of his work and 50 sons of prophets still living.

    Your marital life is not tied to a single man/woman but to GOD – the originator and sustainer of marriage.

    10. God’s will is only in marriage

    Pure lie. God’s will is not only in marriage it cut across all areas of our life. Be it any type of relationship, business, marriage, social life, finances, speech, etc, there is God’s standard required therein as stated in the bible but the problem is that many of us often relegated God to one corner in most areas of human endeavours and few of us remember him when we want to marry with resultant dullness in our spiritual sensitivity to how He speaks.
    There is God’s will you must try to know about that university you intend to go to, a particular course you will, who you can be friends with, places you can go and cannot go, what you can eat, wear, read, how you speak, etc. Try to know His mind in other areas of your life too to experience an all-around successful life.
    Remember that knowing and doing God’s will is not only in marriage but in all areas of life.

  • WE PRAY FOR NEW ZEALAND.

    I, Alade Joel Adetunji Aladeinternational plus other well meaning Nigerians wish to comdemn the attack on Muslim faithfuls at ChristChurch, New Zealand as barbaric and unchristian behavior by a terrorist and commiserate with all those that lost thier loved ones in the attack and ask that the Lord God our Comforter will comfort the town, the families and the nation at large.

  • 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.

  • THERE IS A SPACE FOR YOU.

    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.’

    In 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 mosquesto, migth 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 ‘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.

  • 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.

  • GOD’S STANDARD.

    Welcome to 21st century where everything Godly and moral is questioned whereas everything ungodly and immoral is celebrated.

    We live in a world where morality has been casted aside to embrace immorality.

    This is the endtime where many have heaped teachers for themselves to tell them what they wanted to hear and not what God had said.

    This is the century where God’s standard on sex, marriage, food, relationship, money and all other facets of life have been set aside for what Hollywood, society, politician and Linda Ikejis of this world are saying but no matter what God standard is sure having this seal that whosoever call on God, should shun all forms of unrighteousness.

    WHAT IS IT ABOUT GOD’S STANDARD?

    God’s standard teaches us three things:

    1. God will never bring anyone into your life to sin with.

    He had never, He will never and He can never bring a partner-in-sining. So know for a fact that that man/woman you are fornicating with, stealing with or sinning with it,is not brought by God rather he/she was brought into your life by your fleshy desires not God.

    2. God’s standard is our banner.

    Jesus is our role model so any role model who can’t be found in Christ and His word is a devil agent masquerading as agent of light.

    That role model may be popular.

    He may be role model to millions.

    She may have millions followers on Facebook and Twitter.

    They may be getting awards and endorsements from corporate organisations but once what they are preaching is against what Bible taught such celebrity or entity is not a role model.

    3. God’s standard is settled both on earth and in heaven.

    God has said what He knows that’s right and what He expects from you.

    It is left for you and I to choose once again like Adam and Eve between the Tree of life and Tree of knowledge of good and evil but you must know that if you choose Tree of life you will automatically forfeit access to Tree of knowledge of good and evil and vice-versa.

    Society can’t change His will.

    Celebrities can’t rewrite His word.

    Politicians can’t shift His standard because He is the Self-Existing One.

    A Yes for Jesus means a no for Satan and a No for Jesus means automatic Yes to Satan.

    WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO LIVE ON GOD’S STANDARD?

    1. God is God

    No matter who is the president of your country. No matter who are the policymakers in your country and no matter what society wants. Your president will change or die, policymakers and their policies will be replaced one day and society occupiers is dynamic but God is ever powerful, All-might, Self-sustaining and All-wise, He never sleep nor slumber and there is no shadow of turning with Him.

    2. His ways have always been proven to be the best way to go.

    His way may be narrow, unpopular and or outdated but that is the only way to go.

    That everybody is doing it doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do and that truth is truth no matter how many speaker is speaking it and lie is lie no matter how many speakers it have.

    3. On the Judgement day you ain’t answerable to any Linda ikejis, Trumps, Obasanjos of this world.

    Prepare to meet your Creator

    You are only answerable to your Creator same way they are also answerable to Him. So who will you rather obey and follow? The one that is dependent on God to live or God who is not depending on anyone to be God? Lastly, prepare to meet your Creator. Shalom
