AN ENSIGN

 Have you seen a naval ensign before? an ensign is used to distinguish ships of different nations or to characterize different sector or level of the same navy. An ensign can also be synonymously called a badge or a mark of distinction of rank or office.

Talking about an ensign from a spiritual angle, an ensign biblically is a signal to assemble or to give a notice to someone about a particular thing. It could be seen in the book of Isaiah that the lord had his hands stretched out still in delivering judgement to His so called people due to their disobedience and sins. The father loves his chosen people but would not spare them whenever they erred, hence the reason for the pronounced judgement in the early chapters of Isaiah.

Our Ancient of days, is known to be a merciful father no wonder He had it in the very chapters 10-12 to raise an ensign to his people in order to call them from various parts of the world they must have been scattered to due to their recalcitrant attitude. Abba, is also using this medium to call us as several atrocities is the order of the day in the world we live in now, He's raising his son which is Jesus, sent to the world to call us together and be saved (Isaiah 11:10). For this purpose, his blood was shed on the cross of Calvary as a redemption for our souls. He does not care about the magnitude of our sins, He's more concerned about the salvation of our souls. We need to acknowledge this great call by the father and be saved.


PRAYER POINT: Jehovah, help me to acknowledge your grace over my life and to realize an ensign is raised already for me and be able to live according to your expectations of me. 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 fu...

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...

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...
