she failed despite getting it all

She used the wrong translation
We do organize bible competition for children and teens from various branches of church in our catchment area. The competition includes recitations, bible quiz and essay writing. One day, a little girl came and recited perfected with demonstrations one of the books we gave out to competing churches. She was the only one that read all of the recitation without any mistake and with a perfect demonstration but after the judges met, one of the judges said, this girl deserves an 100% mark for this perfect recitation and demonstration but she will be getting nothing, when all the audience were like protesting that its wrong, that its cheating, the chief judge rose up and said, though she got everything correctly; the recitation and demonstration but she didn’t get the most important thing rightly. Impatient people among the audience started shouting, what else was it she didn’t get right what else was it she didn’t get right? The judge said, she used the wrong translation of the bible. At that point did the girl and the audience remembered that it was emphasised that every competitor use the Revised Standard Version of the bible if they are to stand a chance and for whatsoever reason this girl used the wrong translation of the bible and despite her hard work she got nothing for it.
This will be the similitude of what will happen to many supposed zealous believers on the Day of Judgment.
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Romans 10:2-3
The Jews wants to get salvation by telling themselves what to do to please God without asking God ‘what should we do to please you?’
Are you among those that don’t want to take correction, you want to establish your own righteousness? Remember when you don’t give your life to Jesus; no other good thing that you’ll do that will lead you to heaven no matter how hard you try. Don’t try to establish your own righteousness, believe in the Lord and be saved.
God bless you.

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
