Some Random Lessons Learnt In 2012 by Nobody: 1:00pm On Nov 23, 2012
1. Treat people with respect for though they may be harsh or treat you with contempt , you really do not know what they are going through themselves.

"Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king." - 1 Peter 2:17

"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14


2. Do not criticize and put others down.

"Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat; for God has welcomed them. Who are you to pass judgment on servants of another?" - Romans 14:1-4a


3. We are all brothers and sisters, therefore do not ridicule others who do not have the same level of education or exposure as you have

"Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." - 1 Corinthians 8:1


4. Forgive quickly , do not harbour a grudge or bitter thought towards anyone just because they rejected your opinion or ideas

"Jesus answered, "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." - Matthew 18:22 - 23


5. Be patient even with those who not deserve it, God is working a great work and many here who ridicule the name of Christ will be the first and many here who mention the name of Christ might be last.

"Love is patient" - 1 Corinthians 13:4


"But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first." - Matthew 19:30


6. LOVE every human being whether Muslim, Christian, atheist, pagan etc , we are all made in the image of GOD. Love all .

"that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." - Matthew 5:45


7. Make your point without abuse and insults

"And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness." - James 3:9-10

"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." - 1 Peter 3:9


8. Do not support evil and discriminate between races . God loves all , Jew and Arab alike , he does not respect you because of race, rather he respects you because of faith in him.

"For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons..." - Deuteronomy 10:17

"For there is no respect of persons with God." - Romans 2:11



Peace !!!

I gave my life to Christ on september 18, 2012 (this year), and I can't believe the change that I've experienced, it's like I have been transformed totally by the Holy Spirit. I think differently, I talk differently and I behave differently. I used to be shy before but now it's like I'm superman (even greater), there is this boldness that I have that was never there before. People around me are surprised at the way i behave now (even my mum) & everyday just keeps getting better and better as I move closer to my Maker. My view of the world has changed and I now strive to be like Jesus Christ in all areas of my life. I thank God for choosing me to be His servant. Surely there is no better life than the one spent serving the TRUE GOD.

May the good Lord deliver us from the spirit of forgetfulness.

"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them" (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

Let's hope that this admonition is not too late coming.

I do not need the deeperlife cult or their followers to tell me if I am a Christian or not.

I follow Christ not Kumuyi . wink

For me this has been a great change of attitude, one to be proud of in 2012.

Are you saying that you used to follow man but not Christ? So which "Christ" are you now following since the one you are following is not God that true Christians follow?

"And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God" (John 20:28).

Not really, just your everyday sinner that didn't want to acknowledge God at all. Didn't like reading the bible or praying. Wanted to live a sinful life till old age b4 submitting to God but God had other plans for me.

You insisted that that's where you still want to go. Do you have a church where you go regularly, where you don't have to get driven out?

Church

Christians are the church, why do they need to go to the church when they are the church which literally means ' the called out ones '.

It's almost like saying have the 'called out ones ' gone to be part of ' the called out ones' .

Let us use words such as fellowship, meetings , assemblies etc.

where 2 or 3 are gathered , Jesus is there, if 4 believers meet on a weekly basis to pray and worship, that's acceptable in God's sight.

It does not have to be a mega cult with hundreds of members meeting to pay money to their idol called 'church' and bow before their MOG.

Just speaking the truth brother.

In the ancient church, believers met in homes and broke bread, market squares etc. They called this assembly not church because they were and are the church.

Today the word church has been bastardised, we have over 50,000 different churches with all sorts of strange names. whereas the truth is that God has only ONE church.

Indeed, in the ancient times, believers in a district or city will meet together and pray, worship God and share. However they met under the name of one church , for example the London branch of God's church , or the New York branch of God's church.

They never met under over 1000 different names in just one city which really is a divisive way of separating God's children and preventing unity.
