DEBORAH'S EPISTLE

I remembered a time I was extremely thirsty and I am not a fan of carbonated drinks as I really love fruit juice. I took a glass of juice hoping it would quench my thirst it did not work out. I felt probably my body wanted a change of what I had always given it and I tried taking a non-alcoholic wine but it seemed that the case worsened. I concluded to give carbonated drink a trial, the outcome was not pleasing at all. Immediately, something clicked in my head that I needed water, and just as I took water I felt nourished as ever before it was then I truly understood the essence of water in our daily activities. Speaking of the fountain of living water, literally fountain means a source of something then living water sounds more like a water that continues to exist going by what the two word says. Interesting! I believe that when we hear of living water what comes to our head is how possible it is for a water to live? just as I was confused when I came across this at first but getting ...

  Basically, everyone likes either chicken, turkey, meat or fish. The process of nurturing the animals which provide these protein till the point of being made available for use is not a playful exercise. Most of us cannot eat our meal without any of these so called protein. When we strip these so called proteins off their flesh we end up with bones, Some bones are crackable while some are not. The uncrackable bones eventually gets discarded since they have become useless we throw them in our dustbins or incinerators as the case may be. Going back to check probably few days after we see the extent to which the bones are dried, lifeless and dull and one could not have said it was from them that the sumptuous flesh was previously gotten before they turned out to be what they have become. This little illustration above can be used to denote the lives of believers, there could have been a point in time that as believers we were flourishing and blossoming as a result of the capabilities...

  When we were much younger I mean when we were between the ages 1-2, I can boldly say that all children walking at this age will be guided by their parents as it is expected that such cannot be left alone to walk, and do so many activities on their own due to their imperfection and inability even in the way they walk. Talking about working, it is a continuous practice which we engage in and we are mostly being paid for or not. So, walking and working with God means the ability to journey with the Father uprightly in our earthly race. I mean the capability to be led to perfection by the Ancient one just as the way the  toddler will be guided as a result of his/her imperfection. No wonder what God told Abraham in ( Gen 17:1). Furthermore, working with God simply means performing some self-service to the Father it could be in joining a unit in the church of God in order to function for Abba without expecting any wage or returns. This is absolutely nice but a very quick question ...

Hearing about the word of life what really rings in one's head at first? At first, one could be like which one is a word that has life. Honestly speaking it sounds somehow and one could even be thinking that so the words we speak or hear now has life, interesting! The word scripturally signifies the Father Himself ( John1:1). No wonder we have it that in the beginning was the word, the word was with God and God Himself was the word. Going further, the word of God i.e God Himself is life and that life is the light of men. This simply means that the word of God brings life to an individual who studies the word and the life brings light which shines in this world that we live in. The word of God is of no doubt an all rounder. When we study the word of God, we get to know the mind of God Himself and when this happens and getting to know this we get formed just the way the word wants us to according to His will. In the books of ( Hebrews 4;12), we were made to see the efficacy of the wo...

  Speaking of how great a thing is depends on how huge, enormous or gigantic such thing is. Then, when we talk of great persons there are some attributes such person must have displayed which makes that word " Great" attached to their names. Such persons must be seen to be an important or distinguished person. Attributing the word "Great" to the name of the Lord is undoubtedly an under estimation of his wondrous works which has in all ramifications exceeded the criteria of greatness. Abba is indeed more than a great Lord, if we construe our minds on the wondrous works of the Lord which is evident in nature, we will inarguably agree that He is far beyond greatness. I remembered a particular trip I had using a boat, looking at the waves I was extremely afraid something just reminded me of the stormy sea that the Lord calmed. At that point I was in awe of the wondrous works of the Lord. The bible even records it in the books of (Psalms 104: 1-end) , the magnitude of th...

 There was a particular time I embarked on a journey. On getting to the park I saw two different buses, one was going exactly where I was going, it had just a passenger left to be filled up  and expensive while the other was empty, less expensive but was not going exactly where I was going but I could manoeuvre and later get to my destination. Immediately, I made a quick decision in me that I will follow the less expensive bus as it was cheaper and I could easily pick anywhere I wanted to sit. Lo and behold, the bus driver with a single passenger to complete kept running up and down to ensure that his bus gets filled up, in a way he came to me and started persuading me to follow his bus and told me that the bus was not moving because I refused to join. The other bus driver became angry and started giving me reasons I should follow his bus. At that point I became confused and I felt lost as I did not know which bus I was to follow again but later I decided to follow the single ...

 Speaking of the literal meaning of fear and the most widely use of the word "fear", it means a phobia, a strong uncontrollable unpleasant emotion caused by actual or perceived danger of threat. Here, I am not talking about this above meaning of fear. The fear of the Lord means terrified reverence to the Lord, that is treating the Ancient one with respect, trembling as a result of his wonderful works that is evident in humanity. Take a deep thought about yourself, do you know how you got to the stage you are presently, talking about growth in all areas of ones life is enough evidence or reason to instill the fear of the Lord in us because His works are mysterious. The bible had it in the book of psalm 114 reading through vv 3, it says "Jordan saw it and fled" . What did Jordan see? it saw the presence of the Lord in action which instilled fear even on an inanimate thing much more we humans. The fear of the Lord brings trembling in His sight, it makes us have wisdom ...
