Luke 9:62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” God takes us seriously, He is God, He does not play around. So when you come to Him you must know what you are doing. Many miss this fact and they allow so many things to take their mind away from the most important things. The Lord does not bother us, He allows us to live our life here on earth but just as He commanded the first man in the beginning, we should know when not to cross the line. When you commit to God stay in that commitment it is not a game or a joke it is real! Psalms 61:5 For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name. Colossians 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Two major things in this Psalm: Psalms 61:8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day. * Praise to His name forever and * f...

1 John 4:10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. We have established that God is the One we submit to and that He is the One that assures us eternal life, and endless time of bliss after our time here. The question then was how did He do this? Here is the answer. John 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.  Christ Himself revealed this in His conversation with Nicodemus who wanted to know about eternal life. He did not stop there but revealed more: John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. No one ever could make these bold statements not before and not after His revelation on earth. No one else can offer eternal life - NO ONE!  There was no one sent before or after Christ that can make these bold claims, they have...

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Almost everyone living today accepts that there is a divine power that controls the universes. In science they could call it a force, in philosophy they could call it a powerful mind, in religion we call God! What is the story, the story is that life began from Him. So many religions come with their definition of God, some talk of the One God and lesser gods, some have multiple Gods. If you have carefully studied all religions and beliefs, you will find out something. None really have an assurance of eternal bliss! Wait! Only Christ could make the bold statements! Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Only Christ has seen and can reveal the One God, the Heavenly Father! John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. Bu...

Proverbs 14:12 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. From our earlier topic, we understand that there is more to life than the one we have now. When we have spent this short century we are given, we begin the endless journey of eternity. Knowing that the after life is more important than the present life, we then need to be careful. The reason being that, this life would determine our eternity, so we have to live right. Now the question is what exactly is living right and who are we trying to please? We are trying to please God and it is He who determines what living right is! So how do we know what God wants? As simple or difficult these questions seems, they are key to our eternal life. I personally believe that God has put in the heart of man this key and it is for everyone to find it! Ecclesiastes 3:11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scop...

1 Corinthians 15:19 And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. We have a set of believers who practice what can be termed as hyper-faith. A faith that takes away all responsibility from them and leaves them in a sort of delusion that makes them think that they would not face any challenges and would not be accountable. The truth is that Christ said: John 16:33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” What exactly is the error? The error is not understanding that our life here on earth is extremely limited. 120 years, that is quite little. What the Lord promises goes far beyond this life to the uncountable years in eternity. So our promise surpasses this world. Does it mean we are meant to suffer now? No! It means we must not sacrifice our eternity for the present pleasures. That is never trade your eternity f...

Psalm 60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. Who is your helper, for me the Lord is my helper. Troubles come in diverse forms. What may look ordinary to one could be a huge burden to another. However when war, chaos, insecurity, natural disasters and famine exists everyone feels the bite. We then seek for help and woe unto those alone in the time of trouble. True help we can find is in the Lord. For He says that even when a mother has to forget her sucking child He will not forget His own: Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. The truth is that we have varying measures of quantifying our challenges, could we just say we want no discomfort at all. Well we live on this earth, we will face challenges. For it is after here He said He will "... wipe away every tear from our eyes...". For wisdom says, trust Him through the storm. For ma...
