WELCOME HOME!

By

The story is told of a Missionary and a prominent Politician who both boarded an Airplane back to their country from a foreign country. It is said that when they arrived at the Airport, a great crowd of people had gathered to give the politician a rousing welcome. It is said that the Missionary had no body around to welcome him and moved away unnoticed by the crowd. It is said that the Missionary felt miffed that he was not the subject of such applause the politician had got. It is also said that while he was in this dejected state, God spoke to him saying, "My son, you are not home yet. Do not worry for I will be there to welcome you when you come Home." Friends, like this Missionary, do we feel unappreciated and unrewarded for our labours in the service of the Lord? Let us not worry for it is because we are not yet at home.

 An Ambassador's honour is not to be that he gets from the foreign country he serves in but that which he gets from the country he represents; his home country. Let us think of the honour that awaits us when we shall get to Heaven, our home. Let us think of the Royal robes of glory, the Crown that shall adorn our heads, the glorious welcome of the Angels and all the host of Heaven and best of all, the glory of meeting our Father and hearing Him say to us "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."(Matthew 25:21,34-40).Apostle Paul admonished us not to be weary in doing good for there shall be a reward in due season(Galatians 6 vs 9).

The world will honour it's own. Our Lord Jesus Christ warned us not to seek the honour of the world for we do not belong to the world (Matthew 6 vs 1-4). Let's not do our good works expecting to be rewarded by men. I am reminded of a song we used to sing in fellowship which says "Let the Lord have His way. Let the Lord have His way. Put your hands in His hand and let Him lead you. Look above see the crown awaiting over there. So let the Lord have His way." Friends, are you working for God and it seems you are unknown and unappreciated in this world, do not get discouraged because God has a reward waiting for you. Let us look above and see the Lord waiting with outstretched arms to embrace us and with a most glorious smile saying to us "Welcome Home!" May we all be part of that great welcome.

THE "BUT" IS THE ISSUE!

By

The word “But” is a word that is frequently used in spoken and written English language. I know not the equivalent of the “But” in other languages since I am largely unschooled in any other language except the English language. The “But” is a word that when used in a statement changes the effect of an earlier stated premise. It is a word that evokes two different emotions- that of pleasure and displeasure depending on its usage. When the reality of the “But” hit me, I checked up its meaning in the Chambers 21st Century Dictionary. It defines the “But” as: (1)Contrary to expectations (2)In contrast (3)Other than (4)Used to emphasize the word that follows. [👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand  English ?

A GOOD BLEND OF LOVE AND FEAR!

People who know anything about cooking, baking, pastry making and juice or wine making, will tell you the absolute importance of getting the right proportion of ingredients to blend and bring out the desirable taste of any food or drink. In many other aspects of production, getting the right proportions is a key focus of the process engineering. While this is true for industrial or domestic manufacture processes, it is also true and a vital element in the making of successful human relationships. The elements of human interaction must come into place in the right proportions for a desirable purpose to be achieved. A little less or a little more of one element can give a very different flavor than desirable. [👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand  English ?

GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?

By

When an accused person stands trial before a Judge in the law court, one of the things done in the course of his trial is that he or she is given a chance to agree with the charges as brought against him or to deny it. The question often put forth to the accused person is this "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" His response is often very critical to the sentence he gets. He may get a reduced sentence if he owns up to his wrong doing and accept that he is guilty. Let us imagine that we are also standing trial in the court of heaven and our eternal destiny is to be decided but many allegations have been levelled against us by our accuser, the devil. Those sinful things we have done are brought against us, and we are asked that question "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" What would our answer be? Friends, though this can only be imagined now, the Bible tells us that after we die, we must face judgment to be rewarded according to the things we did, w

THANK GOD, NOT YOUR STARS!

"I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad” (Psalm 34:1-2). Have you had the experience of rendering assistance to someone or giving them a gift and instead of expressing gratitude to you for your kindness, they turned around to praise someone else? If you have experienced such a situation, then you must know how hurtful it is. [👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand  English ? You can read this page in  French ,  Spanish ,  Russian ,  etc ..Go to  Home .

DO YOU DRESS TO KILL?

“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh” – Matthew 18:7. [👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand  English ? You can read this page in  French ,  Spanish ,  Russian ,  etc ..Go to  Home . Click  Menu . Click  Translate  and choose  your language . Have a great read!] I have had the prompting for some weeks now to put forward this question to everyone and to discuss the topic it addresses, but I have had a lot of heart searching because on few occasions when I had attempted to do so, I had met with rebuffs and I have heard these words many times, “it is none of your business what I wear”. I risk being seen as carnal by some “spiritual” Christians who feel they are not affected by this matter I wish to consider. I wish to speak the truth though blunt I may be. However bitter the truth may be, it is the only medicine that can cure human malady. Evil thrives in society when people ignore it and turn a
