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

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...
