The Witness Box

Image
A young lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no one available for help. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the young lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle. He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman. After a long legal battle between the man and the accusers, the lady was set free. The lady fell before the man and asked 'WHO ARE YOU' The next day the lady deliberately committed another crime and was sent to the same court. As soon as she entered the courtroom, she saw the man who interceded for her the previous day on the judg...

EGYPT IS NOT AN OPTION

Image
This topic may sound somehow offensive, well, Egypt in this context does not necessarily refer to the Egypt in North Africa, and I am not saying a visit to Egypt is a crime or a sin. Besides, Egypt is known for its great tourist attractions and its regarded as the birth place of civilization. So I think a visit to Egypt will be lovely! However, the Egypt in this context refers to what I call the place of comfort in the days of confusion. A lot of people often seek for a place of comfort when they are passing through a turbulent situation. This may seem right in the sight of men, but it not always right in the sight of God. I'm not saying God wants us to suffer or pass through hard times all the days of our life, what I'm saying is that no matter what the situation may look like, God still has a plan for us. We have read severally in the Bible about people who moved to Egypt to seek for refuge. Our father Abraham was there also. Abraham moved to Egypt because there was ...

Igniting the Fire in your Soul

Image
Your faith   is not for you alone; it's meant to be shared with others.  But if you don't have a fire in your soul that burns with passion for God's purposes, you'll lack the power to proclaim the Gospel as He calls you to do.  Has your faith dwindled down to the embers of complacency or apathy when you encounter lost people?  If so, it's time to ignite a fresh fire in your soul.  Here's how: Expect God to use your ordinary life in extraordinary ways.   Realize that you don't need to depend on your own limited strength to reach lost people for Christ.  All God asks is that you open yourself up to receive His Holy Spirit and follow where He leads you.  When you do, the Spirit will empower you to share your faith in ways that will draw people to Christ.  Rest assured that God will use your efforts to share the Gospel despite your own faults.  You'll become a powerful force once the Holy Spirit burns inside your soul. Place you...

Developing Spiritual Attitude. Part 2

Image
Surrender your Need for Peace and Serenity If it's complete peace of mind you are after, you are on the wrong planet. Having the right spiritual attitude is not so much about striving to maintain a state of peaceful bliss as much as raising your heart frequency to embrace yourself when confronting a difficult situation. Peace of mind is more apt to come after the successful resolution of a problem, meeting a challenge with an enlightened perspective and realizing that the challenges are there to evolve you. Life lessons can be uncomfortable and messy. True peace comes first through self-acceptance and pushing through anything that is uncomfortable with spiritual strength. Defend the Right to Give – Love Is Not a Crime At the same supermarket next day, I was handed a coupon for a dollar off a pound of coffee along with my change. With a smile on my face, I offered it to the next person in line and told her if she didn't want it I would just leave it at the side of the...
