The closest Encounter

Relaxing on my bed thinking about certain news I heard, I tend to wonder why some people always think they have a right over another persons life. These persons forget that we all have individual life to live.
Recently I have come to understand that life is a city we build. Some think of life as a string of events- one following another like pearls on a string. But the past remains with us and decisions made often follow us; bad decision dog our steps and haunt our mind.
Life is a city with streets and structures all built by our decisions. There are beautiful parks and tree lined lanes. This is always the part of our life that we show others. It is what we want them to see. But like any city, there are dark alleys. In those place, we store the things we are ashamed of, things of embarrassment. This is where we store our regrets, doubts, fears and sins. So why judge someone else's dark alley?
Those dark alleys we travel alone hoping no one will ever catch a glimpse of them, but it is there we are most likely to find Jesus waiting for us. He strolls the dark roads, walks our dead ends, pass through our emotional and spiritual ghettos and He doesn't feel sullied by them.
Past indiscretions do not disqualify us for his love so don't let anyone write you off. We are not an embarrassment to Him. Jesus is a hand on-savior. He doesn't mind getting his hand dirty. He will turn the dismal past into a glorious future.
Jesus has a private meeting with each of us, not for others to see. Just you and Jesus! When men judge your past, look to jesus who doesn't mind giving you a hug no matter how dirty you are!
Your comments would be welcomed.

GO BACK AND GIVE HIM THE DANCE

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. Luke 17:17-18 The principle of thanksgiving is the secret of multiplicity- Apostle Joshua Selman N. Ten healed, just one came back to give glory, what an attitude.  Christ urged them t go. Does it surprise you that He could still ask after the other nine? That’s because he expected them to come and say thank you.  Nine were healed but one was made whole; that’s the power of thanksgiving. There are lots of lessons to learn from this Bible story.  A friend once said; don’t expect your tank to be full when you are not thankful. Oh! How I wish you understand the power of thanksgiving. If only you understand the efficacy of appreciating God, you will never let an hour pass you by without taking a stop to say thank you Jesus.  Being so blinded by what we don’t have we actually forget to see that which we have ...

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS

I just concluded a little research I started about two months ago, and I am really shocked at the findings.  By the Grace of God, I have been opportune to travel to different parts of my country and this gave me the opportunity to learn little about different culture.  I have also been opportune to meet great minds who I have in one way or the other, shared from their experience and knowledge.  Meeting these persons, have also shaped my understanding about certain important issues of life. A lot of Christians act in a way that is questionable and if such behavior or action brings about a negative result, God takes the blame. Most times, when we hear of the death of someone, many are quick to asking God why. A lot of persons even go ahead to blame God, some blame the old people in their villages; some link it to some sort of witchcraft manipulation.  There are a lot of cases I been studying for a while now, but I would love to share very few with you my wond...
