Day and light - Genesis 1:5


Another name for day is light (v.5), which implies that all our days are supposed to be good because God's Word says so.

Wondering where it's stated?

Just take a glance from v5 to v4.

What did you see?

Lemme share what I saw☺

V4 says "God saw that the light was Good, and He separated the light from the darkness."

And another name for light is day. Therefore, our days are good; if God saw it, then let's believe it.😀😀😀

Peter's denial

Image
Though Peter couldn't stay loyal to Christ during those three moments, how he wept bitterly when the rooster crowed and he remembered the sayings of the Lord, revealed that he really loved Jesus. Even for the fact that he was around during Jesus' trial further confirms his love for his Master, because it is not all friends who will be around when you are in trouble, some will leave you to battle with your problems alone. Comparing the aftermath of his and Judas' relationship with Jesus after they betrayed the Lord, is noteworthy. Peter came back to the Lord, he didn't give up because he had sinned, he lived on whilst Judas felt so sinful and ashamed that he committed suicide. When we hurt the Lord in one way or the other, let's remember Peter and not feel so ashamed to come back to Him, for He is Faithful and Just to forgive us when we ask Him to and He will also cleanse us of all our sins. Departing from His presence is never the best solution, rather, d...

Justice Denied

Image
One of the reasons why the teachers of the law wanted Jesus to die was because: they were scared that the multitudes that followed Jesus would have been seen by the Romans as an act of rebellion to overthrow their government, which would have precipitated their wrath [Romans] and caused them to raid Israel, therefore it was better if for the sake of Israel, one man dies. - (John 11:49-50) Some were not really thinking about the raid of Israel, but about the fact that that they will lose their high positions should that happen. It was the love for their positions, the comfort and power that comes with it, that prevented them from clearly seeing that Jesus is actually the Messiah they were waiting for. Just because Jesus didn't come as they envisioned, they saw Him as a threat to their stability as a nation, hence a need to get rid of Him. Would they have spearheaded the plot to kill Jesus should He have been a relative to any of them?   Life is valuable. The sanct...

Romans 8:28

Image
This verse reminds me of the life account of Joseph, Jacob's son. Through no sin of his, he was sold to the Midianites and finally to the Egyptians by his own siblings. Through no sin of his, Mrs Potiphar desired him and that resulted in him being thrown into prison. But through it all he remained faithful to God. A typical me would have asked: "God, where are You? Have You actually seen all that has been happening? If You have, then why did You allow them? Perhaps You haven't?" But little did Joseph know that all these occurrences were God's way of 'pushing' him into greatness.😀😀 If he had not been sold and had not ended up in Egypt or if he had still stayed in Potiphar's house and not being thrown into prison, perphaps, he wouldn't have been a prime minister, and we may not have even read about him in the Bible.😞 This account clearly shows that we may not always understand the ways of God, but we should always believe that all t...

Too late to change?

Image
**When Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be "born again" to "see the Kingdom of God," he replied, "How can someone be born when they are old?...Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!" Professor and author Merill Tenney suggests that Nicodemus was saying, in effect, "I acknowledge that a new birth is necessary, but I am too old to change. My pattern of life is set. Physical birth is out of the question and psychological rebirth seems even less probable...Is not my case hopeless? " Jesus' reply included these words, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". That is the offer of new life and a new beginning for anyone, young or old. Whatever our age or situation in life, with God's power, it's not too late to change. ** -----David Mccasland-----

1 Kings 22:1-8

Image
The response of King Jehoshaphat of Judah in this verse is a great lesson to be learnt. Before collaborating with King Ahab of Israel, he wanted to seek the counsel of the Lord first. Do you do likewise? Do you get God involved in your affairs? Do you find out what He says before finalizing your decisions? If not, then let's turn over a new leaf, for without God's say in our lives, homes, academics and decisons, we will fail😟😟. Seeking God's counsel before putting your decisions into action guarantees your success and saves you from making mistakes. This is because He l❤ves you, and will not let you make unwise, unhealthy and deadly decisions if you seek His counsel about them.😊😊😊 " We can make our plans, but it is the Lord who will determine our steps "-☆Proverbs 16:9☆

Exodus 15:22-23

Image
Life does not always offer goodies. Similarly, in our Christian journey, it's not every time that we get the things we desire, sometimes we are hit squarely and badly on the face by misfortunes too. And during such times, it's only our faith in God that keeps us on the journey. But if you want to give up on God and your faith during such downside moments, just remember God's miraculous interventions in your past and believe in Him to turn things around for you and He will☺

When the roll is called up yonder

Image
When the trumpet of the Lord sounds and time is no more, And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair, When the saved of the earth gather, And the roll is called up yonder, will you be there? On the bright and cloudless morning, When the dead in Christ rise, and share in the glory of His resurrection, When His chosen ones gather to their home beyond the skies, And the roll is called up yonder, will you be there? ☆With reference to James Milton Black's When the roll is called up yonder ☆

The Christian and His Health

Image
 ‘ Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones ’. – Proverbs 3:7-8 The Bible, aside spelling out the life accounts of patriarchs and prophets, the redemptive work of Christ for humanity and the dos and don’ts of our faith as does every manual, also makes bare many principles concerning attaining good physical, mental, and spiritual health. This is corroborated by The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia that says the laws Moses received from God, which make up the bulk of all health instructions in the Bible, contain remarkable rules pertaining to public health which concerns us even today, such as how to deal with infectious diseases, food and water hygiene and sewage disposal.  ‘ If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the ...

**When you feel broken, weak and bruised, God won't step on you or toss you aside as useless but He will gently pick you up and use you. And that's because nothing absolutely can separate you from His Love😊 If you were to be the only one on this earth,He would have still given up His Son to die for you because you mean so much to Him☺ #Keep calm and know that God loves you and He will always love you notwithstanding your weaknesses☺**

Jesus our Passover Lamb

Image
Hi folks🙌💞 Guess what🙃? Yesterday marked the end of Passover 2020🎊😍🎉😃😍😊. Passover🤔? Wondering what it is? Then you are probably like me who used to skip these ordinances and celebrations in the Bible when I came across them, until recently I repented🙃😅, this is because every word, every event, every stroke in the Bible has a meaning, and if you don't pay attention, you will miss them. Ha, don't worry, just stay with me, I won't scold you, I will just help you repent too😄🤗 But before that, let's do a study about👇: This event was instituted by God in Egypt on the eve of the exodus, to be celebrated on the 14th-21st days of the first month of every year. And per the Jewish calendar (which was ordained by God; Exodus 12:2), the first month, Nisan , usually falls in March-April on the Gregorian calendar So this year, the 14th to 21st day in the month of Nisan, fell on 8th-16th of April 🎉 The Passover feast was to commemorate how th...
