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!!!

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...
