REMEMBER HIM- 2

Text: Ecclesiastes:12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; Many people's destinies are destroyed from their tender ages. Many are living with regrets and wounds by reason of what they did or the decisions they took when they were young.  Yes, God is able to heal all wounds, and He is ready to heal yours if you will open up to Him. There's no life so damaged that God cannot repair. However, there are some things that can never be changed. For instance,  you cannot go back to the age you were last year, that age is gone forever. Also,  If you have had a child out of wedlock, you can't undo it. But you must remember that God specialises in turning ugly mess to a beautiful message.  Because the devil understands the brevity of man's life and the shortness of his own time too, he is deploying different means of ensuring that man wastes his time on things th

Text: Ecclesiastes 12:1. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Have you ever wondered why Ecclesiastes 12:1 was addressed to youths and not to elderly ones? Well, the youthful age is the very foundation of one's life. It is about the most important stage of one's life. As much as God wants you to expend your strength and youth on Him, the devil is also working tirelessly to see that youth's strength is wasted on vanities. One of the devil's ploys is to ensure that the young folks has no desire for God or His things. This explains the reason for the increase in the many distractions prevalent in this generation. Everything is geared towards taking your heart away from God. The Preacher says remember your creator now that you are young and agile, before the evil days come. Many only remember  God after evil days have overtaken them and rarely before.  *A ti

IN THE CROSS

Text: 1 Corinthians  1:18   For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. The cross is a means of crucifying criminals in ancient times. Crucifixion has been in existence long before the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was considered one of the most brutal and shameful modes of death. It probably originated with the Assyrians and Babylonians, and later it was introduced to Rome in the 3rd century BC. Jesus' death on the cross, connotes three major expressions in your life as a child of God: 1. *God's Divine Love For You:*   The only  surest means to ascertaining God's love over your life is the offering of His Son on the cross for your sins.  *Nothing more can assure you of God's love for you than the offering of His son on the cross.* Romans 5:8 says that _God commands his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us._   *No matter where you are, or what you are going t

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r
