A TOKEN

Have you ever seen a pregnant woman in labour? What makes one know that such woman is in labour are the signs displayed by the pregnant woman.A token is simply something serving as an expression of something else put it as a sign or symbol.
A token can be a symbol of covenant between man and his creator as this can be evidently seen in the book of (Genesis chapter 17:9-11). The Father of fathers made a covenant with Abraham to make him a father of many nations hence, there was an instruction to circumcise every man child in his home in order to make the circumcision a token of God's covenant with him and an everlasting
 one.(Genesis 17:13).
  Also, in the book of Exodus chapter 3:1-12 the Lord appeared to Moses to deliver His children from Egypt and He being with Moses in showing all the miracles to Pharoah will be a sign that He sent him.Several plagues befell Egypt as a result of his stubbornness, to the very point that the Israelites were asked to put the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts in order for the angel of destruction to pass them over (Exodus 12:13) signifying that the Lord was with them.
   Furthermore, in Genesis 9:11-16, a covenant was made with Noah that the Lord will not cut off man from the surface of the earth again with water hence, giving a rainbow as a token of the covenant signifying that whenever He sees the bow in the cloud,He will remember His everlasting covenant between Him and every living creature.
   In conclusion, before there will be a token from God to us there has to be a covenant,accompanying the covenant is a set of instruction that needs to be carried out to the last letter from God to us,fulfilling these instructions brings about a token i.e a sign from God as a seal to his covenant and also as a remembrance to making the covenant an everlasting one.

PRAYER POINT:Lord Jesus, make an everlasting covenant with me and let me know instructions to it's fulfillment in order to see a sign that it is established.AMEN

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...
