THE HOUR IS UNKNOWN

Oh my God! How many seconds, hours, days…years am I left to live? I have been struggling to know but there seem to be no answer in sight. No one is coming forth with the answer. God can you help?
Why do I have to know and what if I knew? What would I say right? What song would I sing or dance to? What would I watch? What friends would I make? Would I do something different from I am doing currently? These questions are begging for answers. Some people say if they had a revelation that they would die some moments ahead they would start doing things right. Others say they are waiting to attain a certain age before they start doing things right. And still others are oblivious of the fact that they can die suddenly. What a pity? Is death really a factor we consider before we act in a right?

The time to live like a soldier on the battle field is now. This is the time to know that your hour can come at any time anywhere. The soldier is mentally prepared, physically strong and armed to encounter any situation that comes his way. He does not wait till he is made aware of a battle before he organises himself. He is just always battle ready and mentally focused. The only thing that he knows is he owes it a duty to protect the territories of his nation from invasion. Thus he knows that at the war front anything can happen; he can lose his life. He protects his nation at the peril of his life.

You are your own nation, hence, live to protect your territories from invasion. Live a life that is pleasing to God; a life that prepares you for eternity. Brethren, we have no time to waste or experiment with life. “Live each day as if it was your last. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like ‘if you live each day as if it was your last, some day you will certainly be right’. It made an impression on me, and since 33 years I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if today were the last day of my life would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer is no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something”. Steve Jobs.

Let’s live each day as if it was our last for we do not know when the hour will come. One thing that is certain is death and one thing that is uncertain is when death will come and lay its icy hands on us. The hour is still unknown to me as I end this write up. Well, maybe you know. Take a moment to read the scripture below.

Hebrews 9:27-28
New International Version (NIV)
27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF...

14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15. The Most High God, the Everlasting and Final Judge adjudicated our case by reviewing evidence tendered by Jesus and the Devil. The devil said, the wages of sin is death, your children have sinned and they deserve eternal punishment in hell. Jesus said, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through me (Jesus). I came to save the world from sin and to give them life. God's judgement: It's true my children have sinned against me, for the sake of my love for them, i sent my only begotten son to save them from their sin. Now, IF they will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will forgive them and heal the...

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE SPREAD OF THE WORD

We are living in a generation where God has made it easy to spread his word across the world. Technology has come to aid the spread of the gospel. I have had an engagement with people who think social media platforms are evil and are inspired by the devil to take captive many souls. Personally, I do not think so. Creativity and innovation come from God. The devil doesn't create or innovate but he destroys what has been created by God. Do you know the devil quoted the bible wrongly to tempt Jesus? I mean whatever good thing God has made, the devil finds one way or the other to make it look bad. He did it to the word of God against Jesus and to man against God so it should not be a surprise if the devil tries to make social media look unattractive to Christians. With the aid of social media today, it doesn't cost as much as it cost the early Apostles to spread the word. Let's utilize all the channels available to let the world know about Christ and his love. God created thes...

LEARNING THE SECRET OF SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION

Scriptures: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength". Philippians 4:12-13 EXPOSITION The secret to sailing through every situation with great joy and peace is Christ. If you are aware that in Christ you have been blessed with all the heavenly blessings required for your physical and spiritual survival, you will always learn to draw your strength from him in every situation. Apostle Paul learned to live above his situation because his live hinged on Jesus (the gospel). To some when they have plenty then the Lord is good. The Lord is bad, wicked, uncaring, heartless when situations do not work out according to plan, when they fall sick or run out of basic needs in life. Don't let your situation dictate how you serve God rather let God dictate how you treat y...
