THE ACCURSED THING

Talking about accursed, It simply means under a curse or under a spell. Biblically, accursed also means a curse or under a spell. An accursed thing can be said as such thing that is under a curse or under a spell. Speaking further of the accursed thing, when we read through our bible in the books of Joshua chapter 7: 1- end we would get a full insight to what it is meant for a thing to be accursed, it's implication for those who are in harbor of it.

We were made to see how the Lord instructed the Israelites not to take a single thing of the destroyed Jericho for it was accursed. There was a man, Achan a covetous fellow who had to take of the thing that was earlier instructed by the Ancient of days not to be touched. What was the consequence of this? 

The Israelites generally had to pay for this great misconduct that Achan committed. The funniest thing was that the whole of Israel had to suffer defeat from a lesser community they had underestimated as a result of Israel's prior strength in defeating larger communities. What a Shame!. Unknown to them an accursed thing was in their midst which caused the defeat, not until it was revealed and taken away from their midst they did not get their true identity back. 

Speaking of how this relates to our various lives, have we pondered well to ensure we are not with any accursed thing? Basically accursed things come in form of sins, disobedience to some specific instructions related to us directly through our Pastors concerning our individual lives, are we sure there are some things or deeds that we are into that will not tell on our generation to come? . this is an awakening call to every child of God out there to do away with accursed things in every area of our lives as the consequences is always grave.

In conclusion, there are some life battles that we might be facing as a result of our relationship with accursed things, I implore us to have a deep thought and do away with these things as the lord is merciful, as this will to put an end to defeat that might be happening in our lives as as result of harboring the accursed things.

PRAYER POINT: Father, the ability to do away with accursed things grant unto 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 ...

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...

ISN'T THERE A NEED?

  I don't know if some of us have been in a situation or dilemma which is really depressing and such that along the line the outcome of such situation is so positive that we would be eventually thanking God for making us pass through those times. I remembered a very tight situation I was in a particular year, it involved me taking a decision I never knew it would be very hard to live by the consequence. I felt really bad, even if the decision I made seemed right but the consequence was really depressing truth be told and I kept on wondering if there was a need for that particular decision, unknown to me it was a preparation for what is ahead of me, and I discovered this about 2 years after the whole incidence. Going further, the story of Esther in the scriptures gave me an insight to the reason some things are needful to happen in our lives. Looking at how she became the queen, how tiring and unrealistic the whole process would be before she emerged as the queen little did she know...
