PENS DOWN


Oh please sir, can i write more?, No! Kindly submit! "Sir, I want to cancel out some things." No,time up! "Sir, my paper is blank" but you were given enough time for the exam, I am sorry you have to submit.
 Examination is written to test the knowledge of an individual about a particular issue.Only if each and everyone of us on this earth can think of us writing an exam in our daily life activities so we can put in all our best to excel in all ramifications and do that which pleases our Creator.As we are all aware that there is a time frame for an exam, which could be likened to the fact that each individual has a lifespan,which at the end of it all we render our deeds in form of our scripts to the Lord Almighty the same way the candidates submitted their papers to the examiner at the end of the exam irrespective of any excuse.
 Would we like to be like that candidate who is willing to write more,who obviously has answers to the examiner's question or that who wants to cancel out his errors,who is of no doubt sceptical about his answers (deeds) or that whose paper is blank,who has no understanding that he is on an examination i.e without good works.
 This short story could be related to the story of those Christ gave talents to in the bible (Matthew 25:5-28).If we read through the verses we will have a clear understanding.
 In conclusion,we should make good use of our examination period because a time is coming when our scripts shall be demanded by the Examiner.

Prayer point:Lord, give me the ability to realise that this world is an examination to the thereafter and let me make good use of my time and follow your good works.Amen.

THANKS FOR READING.

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 ...

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

THE SECOND DEATH

I never knew a man could die twice. I mean someone giving up the ghost twice, This sounds very funny, unrealistic and at the same time it sounds strange. Everybody is aware of the situation when a man is proclaimed dead. First and foremost, such individual cannot breathe again, move his or her body in short the person is lifeless. When this tragic event occurs to an individual, such is to be taken away from his/her loved ones and buried. I am extremely sure this is the understanding most of us have when we hear that a person is dead. Talking of the second death, does it now means that such person who has earlier died will repeat the same process? A candid answer to this can be found in the books of revelations 20:14. We were made to understand what the second death indicates. Scripturally, it means the lake of fire. Here, we were told that anyone whose name will not be found in the book of Life such individual will experience the second death. How is it to for a person to have a portio...
