A TRUE HERO FOR GOD...

 Values ALL Human Life...

A TRUE hero for GOD values ALL human Life.

It took only two generations of human existence for the first murder to be committed after we inherited our sinful nature from Adam. Shocking... right?! But if you know anything about sin, it's actually not surprising. Sin is wickedly deceitful. Anger and unkind thoughts, for instance, can quickly turn into something much worse if left unchecked. 

Let's take a look at the tragic story of Cain and Abel. Abel had so much promise, so much to live for. Sin was changing the world around him for the worse, but he took a stand of righteousness.  Having trusted in his Creator, he chose to follow God rather than live as he pleased. Then, in one swift act of fury, Cain took his life. Cain's terrible deed was an attack on God's image. 

The Bible says all humans are created in God's image. Genesis 1:27 That makes us different from anything else God created. Other mammals, birds, and fish weren't created in God's image. Neither were trees or mountains or nature...only people. To be made in God's image means to be like God. That doesn't mean we're identical to God. He is holy, all-knowing, all-powerful, and present everywhere. We are not. But we share certain characteristics. Like God, we can speak, reason, love, and show creativity. (this world wey we dey, e hard gan o, na only God fit help o, lol) Translation: In the world we live in today, it is very hard, But by the grace/ help of God(Holy Spirit) we can. 

If we humbly turn from our sinful nature through faith, God will help us. This is actually also living as a true hero for God. As God's image bearers, we represent God and are more special to him than anything else he created. Can you now understand why what Cain did was so terrible? Abel, like you and I, was God's image bearer, and Cain destroyed him.

Knowing that we are made in God's image should affect how we treat others. A true hero for God values all human life because humans are God's representatives. If you treat someone badly, you are attacking God's image. One way or the other we have all attacked God's image in the way we treat each other.

Game Plan: Acknowledge the fact that you have attacked God's image one way or the other numerous times

Ask for forgiveness

Act: begin to honor God in all human life. The world will be a better one!

well...my thoughts re: Game Plan. It would be nice to read from you all. Please leave your thoughts in the comment box.

Thank You

God’s Great LOVE

Think about the most beautiful places on earth: Maui, Tahiti, The Bahamas,The French Riviera etc. 

Now imagine a place a thousand times better and beautiful because of the fact that God himself carefully created it for Adam and Eve….Garden of Eden. 

Adam and Eve… well we can’t be too hard on them, because we would have messed up too. Ever since this original sin, we’ve all sinned. Sin is breaking God’s  laws, and the Bible says that we are all sinners (Romans 3:23). In fact , we were born into sin.(Psalm 51:5).

We inherited a sinful nature from Adam. From the moment we step  into the world, our natural tendency is to shake our fists at our Creator and say, “I don’t want to follow your rules. Leave me alone!” LOL.

That’s not only foolish of us, it’s downright wicked! Being just and holy,God could have chosen to destroy us. He could have thought, You know what? These people aren’t worth my time. I made them and gave them everything they need, and now they’re rebelling against me. Time to wipe them out. POW and that would be it! 

But God didn’t do that! Rather than react in angry justice, God chose to show us undeserved love and mercy by providing a path of salvation. He did that by sending his perfect Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. 

Let’s be thankful and Praise the name of the Lord that he gave us exactly what we needed, not what we deserved! I wouldn’t have made this day to send this post anyway😅

I have a question, does it make sense to reject a solution (Jesus Christ)  God presented to us for the problem we created?!! Adam…We?!  LOL

Think about this and do the needful. Read Ephesians 2:1-10, it would become clear to you what God has done for us through Christ. 

Thank You

It doesn’t make sense to QUIT!

 1 Corinthians 15:58

So, my dear brothers, since future victory is sure, be strong and steady, always abounding in the Lord’s work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever wasted as it would be if there were no resurrection. 

Paul encouraged the church to keep its commitment to serve the Lord by reminding them that nothing they did for the Lord was ever wasted. 

Remain faithful to the tasks God has given you. No matter what struggles you /we face in this life! As Christ followers, it doesn’t make sense to quit! Why? 

This is the reason….“future victory is sure”. Take note of “future”. If it looks like you are not winning now. 

Thank You

Gain The Whole World and then What?…..

 “And how does a man benefit if he gains the whole world and loses his soul in the process? Sigh…BIG question.

For is anything worth more than his soul? I’d like to hear from you. Please drop a line or two in the comment box. 😊

Jesus speaking here: “And anyone who is ashamed of me and my message in these days of unbelief and sin, I the Messiah, will be ashamed of him when I return in the glory of my Father, with the holy angels.”

Take some time out of your busy schedule to ponder on this beloved.  We (you and i) must put aside our pleasures, carry our cross and follow Jesus closely. 

It is not what we want to hear or like to hear. But perhaps it is how God works in this world. You have to put off your own ways and follow God’s.

Thank You

FAITH…Scripture Via Art 5 of 75

By faith, by believing God- we know that the world and the stars, in fact , all things were made at God’s command; and that they were all made  from things that can’t be seen.

It was by faith that Abel obeyed God and brought an offering that pleased God more than Cain’s offering did. God accepted Abel and proved it by accepting his gift; and though Abel is long dead, we can still learn lessons from him about trusting God. 

Enoch trusted God too, and that is why God took him away to heaven without dying. Before this happened, God had said how pleased he was with Enoch. 

NOTE: One can never please God without faith, without depending on him for everything. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.

 

For you to ever think of giving your life to Christ. You need to even believe, you must believe that He exists. Sincerely seeking him becomes super easy and trust follows. Your walk with Him, (if you sincerely walk with him), your thoughts will shift towards your real home in heaven. You will begin to live for heaven! You will become kingdom -minded. 

Live everyday with your thoughts fixed on God…on Heaven. Look forward to your real home in heaven. 

Earth is not our real home, we are visitors, visiting on a mission for God. 

Thank You

Fishers of Men...Scripture Via Art 4 of 75

Matthew 4:19

Jesus called out, “Come along with me and I will show you how to fish for the souls of men!”

Verse 20- And they left their nets at once and went with him. 

This is apt! as the theme for this month (June) at the URC Family is “Soul Winning”.  I’d like to urge you to join us this month to win souls. But first, are you saved? Do you acknowledge that Jesus died for you to pay the price for your sins? 

Refer to the previous post titled- “I Will Give You Rest” for steps to accept Jesus #OpenInvitation. 

This is another Open Invitation. He is calling to show you how to fish for souls of men! To be part of His Work. 

Having read this short message, are you willing to live out Verse 20? Are you going to leave your old ways at ONCE and go with Jesus? (Accept HIM) and help others accept him? 

Think about it carefully. It is the way forward and ONLY way to enter the kingdom of GOD. 

Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

He Loves You.

Have a blessed day

I Will Give You Rest...Scripture Via Art 3 of 75

 Matthew 11: 28-30

“Come to me and I will give you rest- all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke.

Wear my yoke- for it fits perfectly- let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls ; for I give you only light  burdens”.

This is an open invitation from Jesus. ACCEPT IT. 

Wondering how? .......Simple!

1. Admit you are a sinner (Romans 3:10)

2. Be willing to turn from sin. This is what the word repent means. (Acts 17:30)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, that He was buried and rose again from the dead to pay the price for your sins. (Romans 10:9-10)

4. Pray and invite Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior. (Romans 10:13)

Thank You
