God gives to us Time!

 To repent and Change?

Humanity is stubborn, as it always has been, it has many opportunities to change for the better but it refuses, since it seems happy in its own ways and believes it has no need of God!

But the truth is that the destiny of unbelievers is a terrible one of eternal fire and regret, but for us to know our Lord Jesus Holy and Immortal Lord God is an ever new and amazing journey minute by minute and we learn so much to apply to others as much to ourselves?

There has to be hope in witness and in truth and love, while also the need of street preaching in the nations and many are troubled by many issues and not the big ones we only hear about in the media!

 Deuteronomy 31:37, Nehemiah 9:29, Psalm 78:8, Amos 5:4, John 3:3, 14-21, Acts 19:9, Romans 3:21-31, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, 26, Revelation 2:20, 23, 3:20.

LOVE!

 The key to Success?

Love solves problems wither in Ekklesia, at home, work the political word, if we know we are loved it really helps to build understanding and thus many things will get solved!

We as believers know that we love God and that He loves us, but the key is when we love others showing both concern and compassion for them as Jesus has for us?

If we had more love for others most of the problems in our world today would get solved and the power of sin in the lives of many would be stumped!

John 3:3, 14-21, Mark 10:21, Luke 7:47, Hebrews 1:9,  1 John 4:10-11.

LOVE!

 Something the world could do with a lot of?

From the Ukraine to Turkiye, from the Philippines to Africa and South-America wars and conflicts are continuing along with natural disasters, storms, floods, droughts and terrible earthquakes that have killed over fifty-thousand people!

World leaders are acting like petty children looking to make trouble at the cost of the peoples of nations and seeking fame in history for their own selfish ambition?

Meanwhile God is mucking up their plans, economically and militarily with the middle-east, with many nations not cooperating with the United States or Europe, while others are moving into new alliances and leaving behind four hundred years of slavery and colonial exploitation!

Only those who do the right things in relation to God, will get justice and those who seek to oppose God, will soon find that He will remove them and the whole board game will change colours!

Numbers 23:19, Judges 3:1-3, 2 Samuel 14:20, Psalm 55:19, Daniel 7:25, Zephaniah 3:9, Matthew 21:32, Luke 6:27, John 3;16, Galatians 3:8, 1 Peter 4:8. 

The Christmas season Approaches!

 Great Opportunities?

Christmas and Easter have the biggest times to share the Gospel message in the hope of leading the world to the truth and understanding what it's all about, rather than the commercialism and gluttony of the seasonal holiday?

We know the truth of this time, but how to get it over to the world can be tougher, since they are blinded by Satan and His lies to what we have to say to change their hearts to receive the true light of the star of Jacob, the morning stare, the, 'I Am the light of the world!

Numbers 24:17, John 12:46, 2 Peter 1:19.

We also know the story and this with a few verses may be enough to reach them, love being a key factor since this is what people long for in this society of rejection, indifference and ignoring the truth of real like for that of feelings and constant fantasy?

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:7, Luke 1:32-33, Amos 5:4, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3-18, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:22-23, 6:23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26.

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?

The Love of God!

 Compassion?

We do not see much compassion with even the best of people at the worst of times and yet we are told in the New Testament of the Holy Bible that Jesus showed compassion to people!

The word is defined as having pity rather than showing love, Jesus had pity on the crowds who followed Him, because they were Spiritually dull and yet they wanted many things a leader to free them from the Roman occupation and a healer!

Today many people are searching for answers to the problems of life, but at the same time they do not want God? Because they have been told God is about rules and religion is rubbish and we can solve all our problems if we can find the answers ourselves?

Matthew/Levi 9:36,  14:14,  15:32,  20:34,  Mark 9:22,  Luke 10:33,  Romans 9:15,  Colossians 3:12, 1 John 3:17.

LOVE?

 'He Loved us First!

We may have our own ideas or concepts about love and what this emotion is all about, but it may not be real as we think it is?

The world today is full of people loving everything, they say the words in relation to objects and people like water running out of their mouths and yet we know that in reality the words have little or no meaning!

When it comes to helping others, most people will not get involved in a situation, they pass it by hoping to get clear as quick as possible, while others don't want to get involved because of a bad experience?

But God's love is the only real one, since He gave to us His one and only son and Jesus showed compassion to many that He healed and saved like us too and from this is laid a foundation for us to follow!

John 3:3, 16, 14:6, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Ephesians 2:4, 5:2, 1 John 3:4,  4:10-11, 19.

Immorality! Two.

 We are not of this World?

It is doubtful that many who claim to follow Jesus, actually believe that they are not part of the world, they have got their wires crossed!

We may have to live through this depraved society, but we do not have to be a part of it?

Being a believer is about being a good person, so that the lost will be attracted to the light of Jesus shining through us! We are living in dire times of a pandemic that is mutating, because us humans have been dirty going to the public toilets and not washing our hands germs spread?

God wants us to be focused in Jesus, to do what is right, to be honest, show integrity and love the unloved!

1 Corinthians 5;10,   6:9,  18,  7:2,  Colossians 3:5,  Hebrews 13:4,  Proverbs 10:23,  Acts 10:38,  Philippians 1:11,  1 Peter 2:20,   Revelation 22:15.

COVID-19 'A time to Love?

It is hard to love people who float Quarantine!

Is this the right time of the year to be talking about love, and why would it not be?

Arrogance and ignorance are terrible conditions to be in, when many of us have relatives that work in hospitals or clean up after old folks! 

We may be disgusted or critical of their habits and failings, but we too will be there one day shitty and messy not able to control mental functions apart from anything else?

Love is the key to being a believer in Jesus, since He had compassion we who follow Him must too have the same or try to do our best! He was sinless, we are not but we can try with difficult people to win them over and not fall victim to this truly awful virus?

Psalm 145:9,   Isaiah 63:9,   Matthew/Levi 15:32,   Luke 10:33,   Philippians  2:1,  Colossians 3:12,  Hebrews 10:34,  James 3:17,   5:11.

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.

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.

Seek and Find?

'Whose knocking at the Door!

The Christmas story is about a set of miracles and events that are a pivot of human history, when Jesus came into our world in human flesh from Eternity! Born of the Virgin, seen by the outcasts of society, rejected by a Royal family and gifted by foreign leaders, this is the story of the Messiah and Saviour of the world.

He was born in a humble place a symbol of His human nature that we would later see in his ministry and His going to the cross for all believers by faith!

But Christmas may have many aspects family, presents, the special meal, loneliness and rejection, homelessness and more? But it also brings to us the opportunity of Eternal Salvation through our repentance and faith in this child Jesus!

Jesus said, 'I stand at the door and knock, He who asks will receive!

Will you ask Him this season to come into your life? You have to ask to receive, will you open that cold hard door of your heart to His love, care and concern for your wrong direction?

Revelation 3:20,    Amos 5:4,    Matthew/Levi 7:7-8,    Luke 15:24,   32,    James 2:24,   26.

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. 

A mothers Love?

Appreciation!

The end of this month sees another celebration of our mothers, despite the traditions and requirements of this day? We tend to forget that our mothers mostly tried to do and do continue to do the best for us?

But it us who have to return that love in our responsibility and actions is helping our parents if we can? Cleaning, caring, shopping, taking them out and returning that love which will build our relationships!

Jesus too had a mother who loved Him, she may have not full understood Him, until after the events cared? But she stayed the road with the believers who followed Him well into the establishment of the early Church!

Genesis 2:24,  3:20,   Matthew/Levi 1:18,   2:11,   Mark 7:7-11,   Acts 1:14,  Ephesians 6:2.

Love and Forgiveness? Two.

We cannot live without Love!

As a species love is a key element to our existence and the world cannot do without it!

Animals mate by cycles that they have no control over, but we humans can make choices wither we want to or not?

The world craves love, but if we who claim a faith in Jesus, then we must put His love for others into action! Loving those the world reject, fellow believers and their situations, the homeless, family, friends and enemies alike?

We also must learn to forgive all of the above, since God forgave us our failings!

Proverbs 10:12,  17:9,   Matthew 18:22,   John 3:15-16,  1 Corinthians 13:13,  Galatians 5:17-26,    James 5;20,   1 Peter 4:2

Love and Forgiveness? One.

Lacking Today!

Forgiveness would help solve many issues today in our world and society, and it is lacking on an individual, national and idealistic level! Our world is full of rights, civil, political and judicial, but nothing ever really seems to get sorted?

People lack trust in the selfishness of a want, must have society that demands more and more tat? Tech is out of date the minute we use it, designer clothing is nothing more than some ones name of a third world produced product!

Where do we stand in all of this, with Gods dynamic faith?

Prayer is good and we need it, practicing charity and doing good works, volunteering does make a change! 

But preaching the gospel and telling others about what Jesus has done for us is the best of all, because it sows seeds that will change lives, today, tomorrow, next year!!!!

Psalm 130:4,  Ephesians 1:7,   Colossians 1:14.

Genocide! Part-Two.

Armenia and Windrush?

Racism is not limited in the world to the effects of the former European Empires of Imperial times, but also to the Muslim world from Barbary to the Turkish unification before and after the fall of the Ottoman Empire?

Armenia was a genocide on a par with that of the Jewish Holocaust and the Japanese work force death camps of Manchuria 1931-45. 

But here now in the 21st Century boarding papers for a whole group of loyal British citizens was lost and excused by our own PM Mrs. May who continues to lie and cheat this nation of its democracy?

Even Donald Trump is fixated with a wall that Genghis Khan sailed round back in the days of ancient China and so much for the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean! He even has the audacity to justify employing an anti-Semite and Hitler lover to build this wall for him?

Humanities ability to hate, to separate, to kill fellow humans is unlimited! One hopes that faith in Jesus will win the day, seeing what Jesus saw having compassion and loving those who hate us is the key to showing who and what we believe in!

Numbers 14:19,  1 Kings 8:50,  2 Chronicles 36:15,  Psalm 17:10,  Proverbs 12:10,  Isaiah 54:8,  Mark 2:10, Luke 10:33,  Ephesians 4:32,  Colossians 3:12.

Fire People? Two.

Ready to witness Jesus?

Today thousands of believers globally are sharing their faith in Jesus, some because they want to and others because they have too? 

Some will die, some maimed, others rejected or ignored, it is a cost to us personally but in the long run lives near and far to each conversation, each tract sent will be changed!

Never give up doing good, never give up talking about Jesus-God! 

Because many strangers in Heaven will one day than you for your perseverance and kindness to them, if not Jesus love shining through the Fire Peoples!

John 4:14,   10:28,   1 Timothy 4:16,   2 Peter 1:10.

Summer Opportunities? Two.

Every moment an Opportunity!

As believers our main mission is to share our faith in love and win others to Jesus, as we were to won to Him! This witness has to be done in kindness, but also with a warning of the grave consequences that if this message is not heeded disaster lays ahead!

We live in an age of the doctrine of the Love of God and this is true up to a point and that of sin? The bible has not changed in relation to what God has said about sin, only that we who believe by faith have had the law fulfilled for us by Jesus death on the cross/stake/tree!

But when this time of grace or Gods favour is over comes His wrath of Judgement and His conditions will be met before Eternity, which is the final dispensation!

Psalm 5:11,  Proverbs 18:21,  Matthew 3:7,  John 3:15-21,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:23,  5:9, 6:23,  Galatians 5:14,  Ephesians 2:4,  Colossians 1:28,  3:8,  1 Peter 1:8,  1 John 2:5.

A British Royal Wedding!

Fire, Love, Vows?

Its a time for change in the British Royal family and may it continue over colour and religions, but may these marriages last the trial of life?

Saturday 19th May was Pentecost and the theme was Love and Fire, accompanied by the vows of promises to each other and to God!

Love is something that is much said in our world today, but many of us who have come from broken homes and witnessing domestic violence know how much it was lacking from mum and dad?

But because Jesus found us, He has given us the fullness of His Love in accepting us and yet He was rejected by all at the Cross/stake/tree!

Matthew 18:18,  19:5-6,   Acts 2:3,  Ephesians 4:13,  1 John 3:18,  4:8,   Genesis 2:24,   Numbers 6:21.
