dealing with losses

DEALING WITH LOSSES If you’ve never lost anything important to you in life, then it’s a matter of time.  The lost of fiancĂ©, husband or wife, job, wealth, health, honor, child and position etc. can be very devastating. It had led many into despair because they were never able to adjust to their losses Someone asked me some time ago, why do God allow a Christian to suffer losses? I looked as the person and replied, is so that that Christian might learn that his true identity is not how the world sees him but his identity in Christ, is not his properties but his faith. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.  Deut. 8:3 God caused the Jews to suffer lack so that He might teach them that man shall not live by bread alone but by every promises of

JESUS CLEANSES FROM SIN

JESUS CLEANSES FROM SIN Masturbation is a very addictive habit and can bind its victim for years even till such person dies. Some major causes are rape, early sexual exposure, sex dreams etc. and it’s triggered by pornographic material, indecent dressings and vulgar songs and words. Hildah from Saudi Arabia told me how she had tried various measures to curb it but to no avail and Musa from Zimbabwe said there is no day he wouldn’t masturbate because he can’t seem to control himself. Sinful habits is fueled by the devil that puts our body in the bondage of sin, when some things are natural, it wouldn’t be a problem. For example, the hunger for apple can be deferred over and over again because such hunger isn’t fueled by the devil so it can be controlled, but the hunger for certain sinful habit are so addictive that its victim can’t put it under control because its fuelled by the devil. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us

WHEN THE WORD TRIES YOU David was on his own caring for his father’s sheep contentedly when Samuel came with some word from God that he’ll be the king of Israel. After he was anointed the next thing that happened to him was afflictions and trials; Saul started seeking for his death, his brothers hated him, he began to live in caves, he became a wanted man not just in Israel but also in surrounding nations. Sometimes he had to pretend he was a mad man to survive, he had to live in shame and if he was someone like us, after waiting 7 years from the day God promised him the kingship of Israel, he would say, God, let’s forget this me being a king stuff, since the day you told me about it, things had only gotten worse for me. He would had also said to God, let’s disregard this throne stuff, I was better being a shepherd for me father, at least I wasn’t living in shame, pretending to be insane just to survive, and passing my nights in caves and living daily in the fear of death as my f

DONT GIVE UP ON GOD'S PROMISES FOR YOU

DON’T GIVE UP ON GOD’S PROMISES FOR YOU And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.   Gen 15:2-3 Abraham said to God, let’s stop talking about children, those promises of me being the father of many nations, I don’t think it’s going to work out because it’s now late. I’m about dying of old age childless and the closest young male in my house that you might want to use to fulfill this promise is Eliezer and he is from Damascus But God replied him ‘And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.  Vs 4 Perhaps you are thinking, I’ll need to adopt a baby because I don’t believe God is still able to open my womb to have a child Or I need to be a sister; there is no more hope for marri

my father's day address

MY FATHER’S DAY ADDRESS I write to you fathers because you are the head of the home. You have to deal first with your wives; her too much talks, her constant nags, her illogical suggestions, her insensitivity to your physical needs, her ingratitude to all your endeavors, her insatiable nature for this and that, and your in-laws etc. You also have to deal with the kids; their school fees, shelter, feeding, naughty behaviors, clothing and toys etc. Many men soon bow under pressure that’s why they become irresponsible fathers and uncaring husband. They tend to divorce and seek comfort in a strange woman’s laps etc. as a way out of the stress of heading a home. But they later discover that though being the man of the home has its stress and challenges yet there is no joy or fulfillment to compare to the joy and fulfillment of such noble course. They later regret the wives they have divorced and the children they’ve abandoned. The strange woman would had brought guilt and p
