WHO ARE YOU: SINNER OR SAINT?

By

There are only two sets of people that are on the face of the Earth right now. God only acknowledges us either as Sinners or Saints. There is no middle ground and no in-betweens. Everyone who has not received God’s greatest gift of Salvation and forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ is a sinner no matter how good they may think they are. Those who have come to God just as they are, Sinners, and have repented of their disobedient life, their sins against God and man, are washed clean by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and are those God regards as Saints. A Saint is not one who has never sinned(for there is no such a one except Jesus Christ) but he is one who has acknowledged the wretchedness of his or her sinful lifestyle(Isaiah 1vs 18), acknowledged how far his sins has separated him from God his maker and comes in repentance(a turning away from sin) before God and accepts the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the Cross for his sins(John 3:16, Romans 10 vs 8-10). God shows him/her mercy by cleansing, justifying, sanctifying and relating with him as if he had never sinned.

So how does God know you my friend? Sinner or Saint?
It’s easy to know. The Bible makes us to understand that the spirit of God bears witness that we are Sons of God(Saints) when we come to God and submit to Jesus Christ as the Saviour and Lord of our lives. Your lifestyle right now will tell you if God knows you as Saint or Sinner. No Saint continues to sin, he doesn’t take for granted the mercy God has granted to Him. His desire at all times is to please God his Father in every action he takes, whether words or deeds. All saints can always remember the day they committed their lives to God. They know it because that day marked a great turning point in their lives. It wouldn’t be possible for a Sinner to act as a Saint, well perhaps he might fool men if he does so, but God clearly knows who he is.

So who are you my friend?
If you are a sinner, God’s mercy is still available for you if you will come to Him today. He is still waiting to make you one of His beloved Sons and Daughters(Saints). Will you repent of your sins and pray to Him today and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Will you submit to God all your life henceforth? If you are willing, God is ready to receive you as you cry out to Him in prayer right now.
Tell God in your own words your resolution today and mean it with all your heart. I’m sure He will give you the peace that surpasses human understanding and the assurance that you are one of His saints. God bless you as you do this.

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
Image
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
