Alive or living abundantly?


Walking dead bodies.That's what a lot of people are.

Physically and biologically, they are breathing and undergoing metabolic processes but they are empty inside. An ever insatiable void runs through them; every vein and artery, every arteriole and tubule...emptiness abounds...


Man was once one with God, after all we were made in HIS image and likeness.
Man journeyed life with God and God was his constant best friend. There were no secrets between them.However, man placed sin above God. sin became man's friend and God was pushed to the bench; to the sidelines. HE no longer mattered!

Life came to a stop...sin encouraged man to please his flesh.The spirit of man, the only part that was in tune with God gradually died and the connection to heaven was lost.
You see at this point, man was still alive but spiritually dead.

God tried to reach Man but sin was in the way like a basketball player defending his oponent from making a clear shot. Sin was in control of man, it had a clear and loud voice which drowned out that still small voice of God every time HE called. Man was lost forever.


Where there's a will, there's a way.God's so loving and merciful that HE decided to send HIS only son to save us from sin that we might live abundantly!
Now at this point of redemption, man was alive and living abundantly. He had life to the full.

Why be just alive when you can be alive and living ?!

.....The choice is yours.....



"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.- John 10:10"



The Lord is good all the time!

Have faith

Putting it quite simplistically,


...Faith is jumping off a cliff, knowing that God will catch you or give you wings to fly but either way He'll stop you from reaching the ground below unaided!....

*Look at the picture closely, do you see the hand of God?



He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
.....Have Faith! - Diana Ross



I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."- Matthew 17:20





The Lord is good all the time!

'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'



'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'



This is a slogan which is part of an atheist campaign which is hoping to take off in London and spread to other cities in the UK.The atheist posters are the idea of the British Humanist Association (BHA) and have been supported by prominent atheist Professor Richard Dawkins.

The creator of the advert, Ariane Sherine, says it is a counter campaign to one run on buses in June 2008 which had Bible quotes on them such as ‘Jesus died for your sins’ and a URL for a web site which included statements saying that ‘All non Christians would burn in hell for eternity in a lake of fire’.
So she decided to design an advert with a positive message which said the opposite.


........................................................................................
The advert is surely a wake up call to all believers. If this is not a sign of the end-times, I don't know what is. The devil has made it clear that we are in a war and he will do everyhting in his power to frustrate us Christians. However, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world! we have overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word our testimony.



We will not be shaken...There IS a GOD!



‘There IS a God!’, for it is this realisation which frees us from worry and leads to real joy."
Christians get up and fight, raise your voices in prayer against the plans of the enemy!

There is a God!!

The Lord is good all the time!

what are you doing for God?


The Book of Ecclesiastes goes :there is a time for everything
everything has its special season
it's unfortunate that we christian soldiers
have 24 hours just like the unbelievers
yet we stay down and watch the time go by
nothing has been done; from the break of dawn till night.
the harvest is plenty yet the labourers are few
but are they really few or just lazy?
we listen to what she or he or they say
but What does God say?
are you listening or busy making excuses?
we have faith coupled with boldness
from the Holy Spirit.
we have been given authority over everything on earth
yet the cares of this life has choked The Word out of our life
and we neglect the eternal kingdom
where we truly belong,
where our names are written in the book of life.
I ask YOU: what are you doing for God?

........................................................................................
last month, I was reading the book of Revelations and I cried when i finished.
There are so many souls out there that are dying spiritually...they are lost, and we Christians have to find them and share the gift of salvation with them.The bible says that He who wins souls is wise.

It Got me thinking about what I can do.Not everyone has to be an evangelist or a pastor but we can all contribute in our own little way.
You can start by praying for your friends or people
you know who are not Christians. Pray that they give their lives to Christ.
You can share your testimony with someone..your miracle might just be the evidence that they have been looking for that Jesus is alive!

In my church, we've been praying for revival, in the UK especially and God is doing wonders.
No one is too small, the little you know is enough for God to use to touch someone's life.

Whatever it is, just do something for God!
God bless you.


The Lord is good all the time!

I was there and I AM still there


As you move further into the new year, be strong and hold on.
Walk with Jesus and not ahead of him.
Remember that when you cried, HE was there
when you were sad, He made you happy.
He was there to see you through it all
He was there when your friends walked out on you
and He IS there when You don't know what to do
He was there.
It was Him. It was me. It was Jesus.

He is asking you to walk with him this year and seek his face!

Matthew 28: 20 "....And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."



The Lord is good all the time!
