SABBATH RESPONCE
They said Sabbath is the day of rest and then added is the only day of worship and whoever that worships except its Saturday bears the mark of the beast.
I asked him; explain rest and he said, it’s doing no job.
I said Jesus’s disciples plugged fruit on Saturday so farmers can harvest (Matt. 12:1)
Jesus healed on Saturday, doctors and medical practitioners can practice (Luke 6:10)
The priest administers in the temple during worship (they aren’t at rest because Saturday is their major workday), so pastors can work Saturdays.
Shepherds can tend to their flocks on Saturday so we can watch over our properties to avoid destruction. (Matt 12:11)
Jesus was teaching during Saturdays so teachers can teach etc.
Lu 6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
So Saturday is a lawful day to work if such work is a good work. My question now is, is other days for evil works? God created us for good works not only for Saturdays but the rest of the days.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
God has created us for good works not as a once in a week event but as the daily event of our life. If the rest God means isn’t about work but the kind of work, then you err claiming that Sabbath is the day of rest from all physical labor.
Then I looked at him and said, Sabbath is not about the day, Sabbath is rest from one’s means of earning salvation by himself. Sabbath is resting from all your effort to gain salvation by yourself by trusting in Christ for thy salvation.
Col. 2:6 ¶ Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.
Let no one pass judgment on you about the day of worship, every day is worship worthy; Jesus after the resurrection fellowshipped twice with his disciples on Sunday (John 20:19, 26), and yes the disciples worshipped on Saturday in the book of Acts because that was the precedence and not because it was the only day worthy of worshipping God.
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
