Where would you spend eternity if you die or the trumpet sounds today? Think about it!

"The man said, 'The woman you put here with me, she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." Gen 3:12 Exposition Mostly, when we commit sin, instead of we showing remorse and ask for forgiveness, we rather try to give reasons for our immoralities and apportion blame. Adam had a foreknowledge that eating that fruit was forbidden yet when he did eat, he ended up blaming God by saying "the woman You put here with me..." He could have shown remorse and ask for forgiveness, rather, he sought a way to justify what he did. No one can justify himself before God. It is Him who justifies. We are left with no option as Christians than to be remorseful and ask for forgiveness of sin when we are caught in it for  God's word says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.  May the Lord help us to be righteous always. If even we sin, may we be remo...

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin..." Zacharia 4:10 Exposition Many of us have great ambitions. We have dreams when realized can move mountains, fill the valley, break iron gates, etc. I mean, the reality of our dreams can provide solutions to lots of the challenges in our society. The question is, why are many dreams aborted? Many dreams do not see the day of light, a lot die with their ambitions, and many talents have gone wasted. I could not agree more with Les Brown when he said,  “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” Given the magnitude of our dream...

Racking my brains for words Which word can describe You? I seem to get none. The uncreated yet the Creator. The fatherless yet the Father to all. The unseen yet He sees all Oh! God of holiness You hate sin but not the sinner. Your eyes do not see sin but you have the antidote for it. God, can I ask you a question? Where were you before creation? May I know how old you are? Who created you and your creator's creator? What technology did you use for creation? The more questions I ask, The more senseless I become to the reader. No one can understand you You alone understand your doings From everlasting to everlasting you reign The generations which allow your guidance Are not left disappointed. From the beginning to the end you know. Amazing God with amazing grace. All powerful God who does not abuse his authority. Your counsel keeps your children from destruction. Your love for humanity endures forever. Oops! Time and space won't allow me to write m...

Yesterday we were a fetus, Today we are living beings, Who shall we be tomorrow? None can say with certainty. We aspire to become who we are not. Before we become who we are not, Many will give up, others will die. We may not achieve all our dreams, Yet in the midst of our failures and victories, We should aspire to make it to our Maker When the trumpet sounds. Today we're, tomorrow we're not. The journey of life ends at the doorstep of death. When my life will end remains unknown, Yet with certainty, I know I will be no more one day. Because it's appointed unto man to die once, But after this, the judgement. Today we have life, tomorrow we may not have it Today we are young, tomorrow we will be old. As we grow older, the closer we get to the grave. Whether timid or brave, Each day, we approach the grave as we age. As we attend others' funeral, So one day ours would be attended by many. Today we're, tomorrow we're not. I have seen the ...

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. Ephesians 1:3-4.                     Is it not refreshing to know that we have been blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ? We are told that God chose us in Christ before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless. We ought to sing praises to God for this honour. Indeed, God knew us before we were born. What can I say unto the Lord? All I can say is thank you Lord. Our spiritual blessing comes with a responsibility to live a holy and blameless life in the sight of God. When we pass this test, our spiritual blessing will manifest in the physical realm. "Who can bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?" Ab...

Infidelity, adultery, promiscuity, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and the likes. The very things we talk against in the church but we love them outside the church. Can the church grow on such a weak foundation? We turn angels on Sundays just for a moment but thereafter many come back to enjoy the things of the world. Are we a serious generation? For how long shall we deceive ourselves? How can we see God's glory in ourlives when we live just as the world do? Are we wolves in sheep skin? God hates lukewarm attitude. Let's position ourselves well in the Lord to avoid his wrath. How will you feel that day if Jesus tells you plainly, "I don't know you. Away from me you evildoers." Let's renew our minds! www.rokansah.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/rkansah

Sleep to dream; Wake up to work out the dream. Sleep with the eyes; But keep the mind awake Understand your environment; The problems many talk about, In them are the unseen opportunities. Each problem presents it's own opportunity. Keep pushing Keep running Don't give up Until you cause it to happen. www.rokansah.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/rkansah

"I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron." Isaiah 45:2 The Lord knows all the afflictions and persecutions the righteous will go through on this earth for His name sake. There are times things will seem difficult, problems may look unsolvable, death maybe starring at us, but in all these situations, we are more than conquerors because He who appointed us foresaw all these coming and He made adequate provision to curtail them. Yes, we may see the unclimbable mountains ahead of us, but the Lord will level them before we get to them, the shut doors may be seen, but He will open them. With the Lord going with us, we shall pass through the sea just as we walk on the dry land. We will come out from every difficulty because He is always there with us. May the Lord accomplish all his promises for you. May He give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, for the world to know that indeed we serve...

Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:13b-15.                     For a peaceful coexistence in our homes, communities, marriage, relationships, churches, work places and in the country, there is the need for us to think beyond ourselves as we are being admonished. As Christians, we have an obligation to be there for one another. We ought to be interested in  the spiritual and physical welfare of our colleagues. Let's help the deprived, the disappointed, the weak, the homeless, etc. Let's help somebody rise up, let's help the weak to be strong. Let's be there to wipe the tears of those in sorrow. For God so l...

"No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them." Joshua 1:5-6.                           What kind of leadership position have you found yourself today? We are all leaders in one way or the other. In the church, work place, homes, and even among our friends, we play leadership roles sometimes. We are being encouraged not to fear anything for the Good Lord will be with us till we achieve whatever objectives set before us. We should not  be intimidated by what people say or what we see, we only have to be spiritually, mentally and physically strong to overcome any obstacle that will come our way for the Lord is with us. Being in tun...
