WORTHY TO SUFFER

How on earth can I suffer when I have Christ? No way! it's impossible. Suffering comes from various spheres of life. A believer who has confessed Christ as his or her personal Lord and Savior should always cheer up whenever any challenge which seem as suffering comes their way rather, such suffering should be seen as a stepping stone to a greater achievement.
In the book of acts chapter (5:17-41) it was evidently seen how the disciples of Christ were made to suffer shame all in Christ's name they were imprisoned but at the end of it all they were released and vindicated by the power of  God Almighty and even made more exploits by winning souls to the Kingdom.
  Furthermore, in the same book of acts chapter (16:19-37) Paul and Silas were literally beaten in the market place and jailed because they were trying to preach the gospel of Christ claiming they were speaking blasphemous words.They must have gone through a lot in the prison but what happened? The power of the Almighty released them such that it became an awe to keeper of Prison making him and his household give their lives to Christ.
Also, Stephen who was a devout man of God was stoned to death all  because he was making them see the person of Christ Jesus,in their minds they thought they made him suffer only if they could see what he saw before he died acts chapter (6&7).
  In conclusion, the bible says in John 16:33 that truly we shall face tribulations,challenges which we might see as suffering but we should be of good cheer as Christ has conquered it all, suffering can come from different angle in our lives it could be from our place of work,academics,among relatives,brethren and even in the world at large all because we are trying please Christ in our doing's we shouldn't be discouraged as Christ himself suffered before he triumphed death which is a greater challenge to humanity rather we should see it as an opportunity for a greater us.

PRAYER POINT: Father give me the ability to abide by whatever challenge comes my way and make me triumph over it all.AMEN

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 ...

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...

UNDER THE SUN!

  A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a  child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life!       This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
