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 fathers and I believe we will also be fore fathers to some generations coming after if Christ tarries. I believe nothing is new under the sun as the bible even made us understand this in the book of Ecclesiastes (chapter 1:9). Being successful or not under the sun does not disrupts the fact that all works under the sun is vanity and vexation of spirit Ecclesiastes (chapter 2:11). How is this so? The previous example explains it all. Despite all his travail and the duration of time spent under the sun he has no choice than to face the inevitable end of all human and he immediately becomes oblivious of what goes on after him. So, why the incessant struggle of amassing irrelevancies despite this unhidden truth? Some even go to the extent of perpetrating evil all in the name of being successful.The bible is not against us being successful and chasing our desires as it said in eccl (chapter 9:10) that whatsoever our hands finds doing we should do it well,also in proverbs (chapter 6:6) we are being asked to learn from the ants. The truth of the matter is that we should seek God diligently in all our doings under the sun, we should always put it in our minds that our journey here under the sun  is for a short while and not destroy eternity with our works here under the sun as there is no how we put God first truly and we would not be successful.
In conclusion, our whole existence here under the sun demands us to fear God and keep his commandments in all our doings as all works will be brought to judgement. Ecclesiastes (chapter 12:13-14).

PRAYER POINT: Father I commit all my works under the sun unto your able hands make me see it as a duty to serve you diligently in all I do. Amen

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 fuel u

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will for us all. Let's have a quick look at those who paid the price for their

BEHIND THE SCENES

 If someone wants to write and pass an examination, I want to believe that a successful candidate will want to ensure that no stone is left to guarantee such individual's success. I remembered a scenario I found myself during my final examination. You know that euphoria of "I am now a finalist" did grip me and I failed to prepare adequately before the final examination day and the funniest part was I was trusting in seat formation as we always say then in Uni as I believed that if I could have a good seat arrangement I would tap from my colleagues who were more knowledgeable. Behold, a very strict invigilator was in attendance that fateful day and the whole plan was distorted. Remembering this issue and going through the books of Esther, Daniel and 2nd Chronicles gave me a deeper understanding of the three words "Behind the Scenes". What does this even mean scripturally? Before I give a definition I would like to make another illustration to buttress my earlier
