Two months of illness.

 Life is Fickle?

One was going along well and then out of no where came illness and the ability not to do much, but rely on others for the basic needs and lay flat looking at the ceiling!

Many believers end up this way, the enemy does not like us serving God and seeing souls saved from His clutches and so accidents, crime and various forms of illness is sent to try and stop us!

Job was a righteous man and he lost everything, but he did not give up on God, when God allowed Satan to strike him. Job knew he had done nothing wrong and those three friends turned out to be miserable losses to him as companions?

Today we have a better comforter the Holy Spirit, who is our friend, helper and guarantee of our Salvation!

Job 1:6-22, 2:1-13, Psalm 41:3, John 11:4, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5, Ephesians 1:14.

Unbelievable?

 Blacks for Trump!

We have been here before, but now it is surprising in the light of all that has happened that there are people who cannot see through him and what might become of black people in the United States and other places under his potential dictatorship?

Sleepy Joe has done much, but not enough since he is always trying to appease the Republican voters and not really address black issues as he promised he would! Meanwhile many black leaders are pulling with this idea of waiting for the, 'Right Time?

Today is the appointed time of your salvation, only Jesus can save us from the coming destruction and faith in Jesus will set us free from relying on others in government and authority who tell lies and never do what they say they will?

Matthew 7:24-27, Romans 15:8-13, Hebrews 9:25-28.

Same Wages!

 'A warning to Us?

For the many of us who have been believers in Jesus for a long time, do strain under the weight of following, but that does not change anything in the way that God sees us!

For in the last day and hours before Jesus return, more will be added to the Kingdom and at the end of the day we will all get the same wages, since that is what we agreed to with the one who hired us?

In Matthew 20:9-11, we hear that those who worked a long time grumbled, we see also in the salvation of the Prodigal son in Luke 15:31-32, jealousy break out from his brother!

We need to know that we are loved by God and that we should be glad that more souls are being added to Eternity and not like Peter look at the waves and loose faith?

Christmas and the New Year 2022!

 Promised Child?

The world is going on as it ever did pandemic or not, Christmas or not and it is too full of broken promises from vaccines to global warming, green energy to promises to #blm!

Only our faith in Jesus will allow us the certainty of an eternity with Him if we stay the course?

There is much to read on this blog for the years gone by, but we have to keep reading the Bible to grow in faith and putting it into practice?

Luke 1:79, John 3:20-21, Romans 3:21-31, 2 Corinthians 1:20, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 6:12, 2 Peter 1:4.

'A happier New Year to you all 2022, God's Blessings!

America prays for Donald Trump!

 Looking for Sympathy?

Love me, they love me! Really 210,000 dead, No its fake news! I now understand what this is all about and I'm going to tell you soon!

How much more of this do we have to go through as the U.S. President tells more lies and could be even using this hospitalization to cover up those tax returns he refuses to reveal as he has no time for people but rather is leaning on the name of America?

Faith in God is very important for everyone who has some knowledge of Christianity and to see what we are reveals the truth that positive thinking and self achievement covers up=SIN!

We need to seek God to ask his forgiveness for our failures, to know that we have been forgiven and to have the assurance of Salvation in a through the good works of Jesus going to the cross and rising from the dead!

Psalm 19:12,  Matthew 6:12,  John 8:24,  Isaiah 48:1-2,  Romans 4:7,  Ephesians 1:7, 1 Timothy 6:17,  1 John 1:9.

EASTER is not Off?

A blessed Easter to all of You!

The world may think that much has to be cancelled, while others make false promises claiming they are trying to bring hope to the masses?

The Gospel message of Easter is still the same Jesus died on the cross/stake/tree for our sins and rose on the third day from the grave to promise us entry into Eternal life with Him and our Father!

Matthew/Levi 16:21,  Luke 18:33,  1 Corinthians 15:4.

Unfortunately we must heed the warning that all now people going to Church who claim they are not what they seem! We cannot be saved by Attendance, Baptism, owning a Bible, being brought up in Christian home or missing out repentance by saying we have nothing to repent of?

Amos 5:4,  Matthew/Levi 7:7-8,  John 3:3, 14-18,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:21-31,  Revelation 3:19-20.

Faith in God is a personal relationship based on being Born-Again, not of the flesh but by the Holy Spirit! Faith is not a private matter, but an open matter since Jesus never did anything in secret and so we must be open to who we are you! There are exceptions, atheistic lands, Islamic and closed religious idol based systems?

SALVATION!

Longed for many Generations?

And now it is revealed to us who are being saved by the mercy of God through the blood of Jesus and we are being sustained by His grace daily to serve Him in many different kinds of ways!

What we have in these last times was something that was not fully understood by the Prophets of long ago, who preached the word of God and yet they wondered what was the fullness of what they were saying?

But we today live in the times of grace, since we believe in Jesus death and resurrection by faith and not on works, but they have since followed our conversion?

Psalm 22:1-21,  Isaiah 49:6,   Zechariah 6:12,  Luke 24:44,   John 3:3,  14-18,   Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:21-31,  Hebrews 4;12-13,  11:13,  40,  1 Peter 1:10-11.

LOVE?

Unconditional!

The love of God can forgive us of our sins and we will be set free, because what is forgiven by God will not be brought back to accountability! But we still as believers have to give to Him and accountability of how we have lived in this time of salvation?

The love of God like Him in fathomless, there is no way for us to fully comprehend His ways they are far beyond the cleverest people one this planet and through human history, even King Solomon!

Our world, nations, societies, around us today lack love, concern, care, all is done by organisations, and very little by individuals? This is the challenge for us as believers to put what we claim we are to the test and show Gods, Agape!

John 3:16,  15:9,   2 Corinthians 5:19-21,  1 John 4:9-10,  19.

Jewish Hatred? Part-One.

Anti Semitism.

Many Christians as much as the world fail to understand the real meaning of the message of salvation and are quick to blame the Jewish race for the death of Jesus, but without His death and resurrection individuals cannot be saved!

The death of Jesus, the perfect sinless sacrifice for our failure was the King of Israel and His people the Jews, who in that time period rejected Him!  John 3:3, 14-16,  10:28

Today many people who carry the label Christian are equally to blame for His death because of their unbelief?  John 3:17-21

Many Jewish people today are coming to faith in Jesus, just as many other peoples from all cultures and religious systems and none. 

The hatred comes from much false teachings in the Churches who are religious based and do not fully understand the need of personal salvation, while on the other hand jealousy and misconstrued conspiracy theories in relation to 911 are being flaunted over the true facts that these attacks were carried by Saudi-Arabian friends of the U.S. administration!

Acts 2:14-41,   Joel 2:28-32,   Psalm 16:8-11,   Luke 24:46-48,   Acts 16:31-34.

The Christmas Story!

'More to it than meets the Eye?

After the wise men departed, an angel told Mary and Joseph to flee to Egypt with the Child, meanwhile King Herod felt that he was tricked by the Magi and ordered the genocide of all children from babes to two years old!

We don't here much about these historical facts today and people are quick anyway to even forget Holocaust in our current history?

Jesus birth coincides with the Roman census a governmental way of gathering essential data on the  population, something that has been continued to this day!

The who story of Christmas in these few New Testament Gospels covers a three year period and this would occur again, when the ministry of Jesus would happen up to that of the cross and His resurrection from the dead!

We hope that you will have a happy and peaceful Christmas season and not limit oneself to one tradition? For others this may be a time to seek God and find His forgiveness of Sins in and through Jesus?

Amos 5:4,   Matthew/Levi 2:12-15,   16-18,   19-23,    John 3:3-7,   15-16,    Acts 4:12,    Romans 3:21-31.

4 Weeks to Christmas!

Preparations?

Are we once more ready for the season and all that comes with it?

In some countries its a one day event, midnight service, followed by a meal and for others its last over a week, rather than a few days.

Today the holidays are getting more and more commercial, with more emphasis on gifts the latest wear and the must have tech?

But Christmas is much more than presents, its about Jesus coming to save a lost world! Jesus was born of a Virgin, this is very important to show us the power of God at work in humanity!

One hopes this year to take a new look at the old story and to see it from differing angles, but retain the essential truths that are important to us believers and to the lost world that many of us will have to face head on with unbelieving relatives and friends?

Numbers 7:12,   Matthew/Levi 2:11.

Secular Humanism? Part-One.

The enemy of Christian Faith!

Many Christians around the world today have taken on this cause believing that the 'good works of Jesus was for the defence of the poor and they completely miss both His death on the cross and His rising from the dead for their salvation?

Humanism is at times an excuse to get out of commitments to God and much of its ideas are based on Roman Catholicism in the ideal the more good we do, we have a better chance of going to heaven?

But belief in God has to be based on faith and that of being Born-again or anew and it is not based on what we can do, but rather what God has done for us!

As believers we are commanded to do what is right and good and not wrong, this is how we will know on this side of Eternity who are walking with our Lord and who are not!

James 2:8,  1 Peter 3:14, 1 John 2:10,  20-27,  3:14-19,  23. 

The Harvest Festival?

'A time to give thanks to the Lord!

Harvest time is traditional in the western Churches, because it gave a time to be thankful for the provision of God on the land even when it was not so good it was better than nothing?

But we may not fit in culturally to this set up, but still we can give thanks to God for His salvation and the great changes He has made for us in our New Lives!

There is always something to thank Jesus for in this New Life, daily miracles, children, blessings, deliverance, healing and the list could be endless?

Deuteronomy 8:10,   Psalm 44:8,   Jeremiah 33:11,   Mark 6:41,   Luke 2:28,   Romans 14:6, Colossians 4:2,   1 Timothy 4:4.

Our daily Strength?

The strength of Empowerment!

The world is a tough place and we are the first to know this, but as believers now it is harder to share our faith because of human idealism and the equality acts that accept everything but not faith in God!

So we need a friend and the Lord God knew what is ahead, so that is why He gave us His Holy Spirit so that we could be comforted and helped daily when down in the dumps!

Being a Born-Again Christian believer is harder that being a hood in the world, we are attacked daily in the mind by Satan, causing us to doubt God or feel rejected! So we must reject these lies from him and press on to serve our Lord in peace and inner Joy?

John 14:27,   Acts 2:3-4,    Psalm 76:3,    140:7,    Proverbs 21:31,   2 Corinthians 1:22,   Ephesians 6:12-13.

Preparations for EASTER?

The pivotal key of history to Salvation by FAITH.

One has to wonder how many Churches today still emphasise the cross and the death and resurrection of Jesus as the final atonement for our sins and our Salvation? 

Or have they adopted new tact in playing on eggs and bunny rabbits to water down the truth, because of fear of upsetting others in the world who have no concern for Christianity?

Every nation and tradition will mark this time on differing dates, due to their respective calendars, but the message will still focus on Jesus!

Meanwhile what are we doing, many will have to work through it, while others can take the opportunity to share their faith and see other lives changed for the better!

Mark 8:34,   Luke 23:26,   John 19:17-31,   1 Corinthians 1:18,    Galatians 6:14,   Colossians 1:20,  Hebrews 12:2.

Addictions! Two.

Possession?

What is this and what does it mean?

When we allow something to control us outside that of the Power of the Holy Spirit, it is demonic and this is were we are snared and caught not able or wanting to escape!

The world is blind in the first place and is deluded into believing that what they are doing is fine, but if we who believe choose this way we may be in danger of loosing our salvation!

Hebrews 4:12,  Psalm 9:16,  Proverbs 6:2,  Romans 3:23, 6;23,  1 Timothy 4:1-5,  James 3:13-14.

Knives! One.

Murders from Stabbing.

Life is cheap when gangs resort to stabbing out of their understanding of twisted ideas?

Respect, facing up or down, rivalry, showmanship are all aspects of the same thing?

There is no easy solution to gang warfare, because it is going on all over the world and no one as yet has been able to stop it!

London has seen fifty-five murders in the last four months, but considering the population is ten-million plus its not a big figure as is being made out?

What we learn from the bible is that it is mostly evil people who open themselves up and refuse to submit to God! If they do not do it with a weapon they do it under their tongue in inflammatory speech to raise the game!

We are warned that in the last times evil will prevail much more than it is now and knowing this we should understand that while it is still light we seek Jesus and Eternity!

Proverbs 30:14,  John 9:4,   Hebrews 3:13,  15.  Revelation 9:8.

The Chasm? Part-Two/

Many have it in this life?

These many include the many who claim to be Christians, but the reality is that they are imposters!

They are like the greedy evil people of this world who are now enjoying the fruits on the backs of others, but God is not blind and He will not be mocked when all of humanity will have to face the Judgement seat of God!

What many forget is that there is no once saved always saved and it is up to us to work out our own salvation by keeping on the path of truth!

The chasm that is in place between us and God has been filled by Jesus, since He is the only way to salvation! It is he who we must seek and who real followers must press on with daily!

1 Samuel 25:36,  2 Thessalonians 1:4-10,  James 5:1-7,  Revelation 22:11.

Irma and 9/11.

Today is the 16th Anniversary of 9/11!

Meanwhile as one disaster is remembered another is ending hopefully with the monster storm Hurricane Irma, which has killed well over 50 people so far across the Caribbean and Florida?

Irma has been bad, but it has ben nothing like this eventful day in New York 16-years ago, which left over three thousand people dead, when two commercial airlines where hijacked and crashed into the twin towers!

Many people will ask why, why do these things happen? Some are the results of bad foreign policy and broken promises, while other could be blamed on the continued ignorance of burning fossil fuels that are messing up our weather?

These things are bad, but what is even worse is not knowing God and Jesus of Christmas came to set all free from the darkness!

Deuteronomy 29:22,  31:17,  Proverbs 3:25,  Jeremiah 16:10,  Luke 13:4.

Apostacy. One.

The Nations?

Our world is in a mess, but by the standards of the Bible it always has been since the fall of Eve in the garden of Eden! There are many who are claiming they can fix it by their acumen and politic, and one would have to be really silly to believe them?

In the Old Testament of the bible, the Prophets gave their message from God either to Judah or Israel or both, but today the message of God's Judgement is to all the world! By refusing to recognise Jesus the one and only son of God, the world will perish in Hell.

Jude 24,  Micah 1:2,  3:1,  6:1.
