HOPE IN THE PIT!

Imagine a chick falling into a pit of about 6 feet for several days,it is of no denial that it will obviously die in the pit as it's mother i.e the chicken cannot even bring it out.The chick can only come out of such pit with the help of a human who needs several help to bring the chick e.g a ladder to bring the chick out.

In life,we could be like that chick in that pit who is in the midst of several
challenges,difficulties,hopelessness,rejection,opposition from all spheres of life such that our earthly parents can do little or nothing about this.This was the case of Joseph in the bible,his earthly Father loved him so much that he made him a coat of many colours and this brought about hatred from  his other brothers and made them cast him into a pit(Gen 37;3-4 & 24).It is of no doubt that so many of us are facing several challenges as of which Joseph faced then in today's world.No wonder the suicidal rate keeps increasing year in year out as a result of lack of courage to face situations at hand.

Jesus Christ is calling you today,the bible says in (mat 11:28) come unto me,all ye that labour and are heavy laden,and I will give you rest.There are so many things you are going through such that going forward seems impossible,backward is not an option standing at a point is  not profitable.If we read through (Gen 41;39-44), the same Joseph thrown into a pit later became the second in command to pharaoh in  the land of Egypt,all these happened through the power of Christ in him.
All you need to do is give your life to Christ,forsake your bad ways and watch how Christ brings you out of the pit into Eternal enjoyment.

Prayer point;Lord Jesus,I give my life to You today,I confess You as my personal Lord and Saviour.every pit I find myself in,bring me out to the fulfillment of Your glory. AMEN

THANKS FOR READING.

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

Workers in the vineyard

 When I was younger, I remembered visiting a marble company, There I saw different stages of how the marble is being processed and finally done. I remembered that the several stages in the production was allocated to different people to ensure a smooth and successful completion of the marble. While I was reading through the books of Mathew 20, the phrase workers in the vineyards caught my attention and this reminded me of my introductory story. Here, we are made to see an illustration of individuals working in a vineyard to achieve a common goal and how they are  paid the same wages at the end of the day. What does this mean to us as believers? just as the bible records it in 1 Cor 12: 1-27, we are all different parts of the same body working towards the same goal of populating the kingdom of God, we should not overestimate ourselves. In Mathew 20, the bible records it that those that have been working in the vineyard since dawn and those who just joined an hour to the end of ...

A New Wine

                                       Going through the books of Joel, The word new wine caught my attention. What does it symbolizes? The book of Joel made it known that scripturally, a new wine can be likened to Joy. In today's world where depression is raging amidst different age groups, it is an undeniable fact that almost everyone knows the importance of genuine joy to humanity. A feeling that is of an inestimable value! Joel chapter 1 and 2 emphasizes on the reproach faced by the children of Israel due to their disobedience causing the new wine dry up which eventually led to spiritual declination and making them a prey in the hands of their enemies. This symbolically means due to our disobedience as children of God, we could loose our inheritance before Abba which we had from time being ( Joel 1:10). Have we ever thought of a point in our lives, where things were so easy for us, or...
