# Pls read dis...if possible share it. Let all Christians wake up!# The devil never pushed Eve to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of gud n evil, neither did the devil tied a rope around her neck and forced her to eat d fruit of d tree; all dat d devil did was to get her heart filled wit his diabolic ideas. "...why has Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost..." (Acts 5:3). Also, on Ananias, d devil also never tied a rope around his neck n forced him to lie to d Holy Ghost, all he did to him was wat he did to Eve; he got his heart filled wit his dirty ideas and watched him destroy himself wit his wife. The devil has nt changed, he is stil d same Satan of old; he stil sits, folding his hands n watch men birthing his will after making sure their hearts are filled with his ideologies. Believe it, d devil has never for once dropped a bomb on planet earth, but for sure, he had succeeded in droping lots of it in the heart of men, and these men hav bin birthing his will. Eve's downfall began the instance she gave the devil her attention and begin listening to his deceptive ideas. Imagine if she had not paid attention to the voice of the devil, or if she probably had walked away from him immediately she noticed his prensence, maybe the world would still av bin in the perfect state that FATHER created it to be. "...ur adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1peter 5 : 8 ). The devil, in his craftiness, moves around, looking for those believers who will give him their attention, that he may impregnate their hearts with his dirty ideas, and then watch them birth his will. The Bible did not say 'Fight the devil with all deligence,' It rather says, 'Guard ur heart wit all deligence...' (guard it with evry strength n evrything u've got); reason is because, the primary aim of the devil is to get the heart of men filled with is ideologies and watch them automatically birthing his desires. It is God's wil that a man submit wilfully to Him so He can use dat man, bt dats not it wit the devil; a man does not nid to submit to him before he turns the man to a robot or toy to accomplish his goal if dat man is not careful enough to shield his heart rightly against him. This had bin a powerful strategy that d devil had been using against humanity since d beginning of time. He had gone out till nw, cunningly passing his diabolical ideas to the heart of men n women; young n old, through most Television programs, musics, cartoons, magazines, internets, e.t.c, talking everyday to the hearts of the sons of men, impregnating their hearts and watch dem messing up d globe by their own hands like a robot programed for destruction! We must guard our hearts wit all deligence! its not an option, but a compulsory thing which we must do in other to meet up with the standard of life that Christ have called us to live as believers. "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen n heard." (Acts 4:20). 'What u see n hear will soon form ur words.' we must make it an habit to stay away from anything, any place, and anyone dat is capable of corrupting our hearts with the ideology of satan; If its impossible for us to immediately leave d environment where these things exist, then we must make it an effort never to allow d devil gain our attention by trying to amuse or carouse us to opening our hearts to his ideas. "SUBMIT TO GOD, RESIST THE DEVIL!" |

#ONCE SAVED, SAVED FOREVER?? (Page 1)............................. B4 goin deep into this study, I wish to firstly, put forth a short illustration to us all reading this; " Imagine if the Minister of Education had rose up one morning and said ; 'This is the new constitution in Nigeria, every Nigeria student is entitled to write the WAEC examination just once, and that's all. If he or she fails at his or her first attempt, the result is that the student will go learn a trade, hence, give up in his or her dream and vision of becoming a graduate.'" Now, take for an example, Ade, a young boy, wrote the WAEC examination in the year 2017 and failed. The expectation of his parents and well-wishers was that he should pass the examination, most especially now when the law says that an individual cannot sit twice for the examination. BUT HE FAILED! The consequence on him for failing the examination was that he now had to gave up his dream and vision of becoming a Medical Doctor which he had always wished to be in the future, and then had to come down to learning a trade and settle for a life of mediocrity if not less. But then, in the year 2018, the time came again for other new sets of students to enroll and register for the 2018 WAEC examination, and just then did one of the WAEC Official stood up from among his committee members and pleaded with evryone of them, saying that whatever the charge and cost might be, that the Student named Ade, who wrote and failed the WAEC examination the previous year (2017) may re-write the examination this yesr 2018, should be laid upon him. In surprise, all of his members turned to him and said; "Sorry sir, but that is impossible, as the law says that each student is entitled to write the examination just once. If he or she fails, let him or her learn a trade." But the Official pleaded really hard on Ade's behalf, until the committee later came to conclusion that, in order to permit Ade to re-sit for the examination in the present year 2018, his (the Official) son, Tony, who was supposed to be among the candidates to sit for the examination that year (2018), would be subtituted for Ade; Tony would have to stay back and learn a trade, why Ade would sit and re-write his examination. Hearing their demand from him, the Official felt very devastated, and reasoned deeply within himself. He then agreed with their terms and conditions. Now, one major point I want you to take note of here, is the fact that, allowing Ade to have a re-sit for the examination doesn't mean he had automatically passed the examination, he was only given the another chance to go through the process that wil lead him to the fulfillment of his original vision, and be able to meet up with the standard of life he had always dreamt of. There is every possibility that he might fail the examination the second time if he fails to study hard and give it all he got, and forgetting that the beauty, security and success of his future is dependent on what he writes during the examination. "...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." (Philip 2:12). Now, imagine Ade failing the examination a second time? "How do you think the Official and his son who forfeited his own dream to learn a trade will feel? If it was to be you, how would you feel...? "And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots..." (Matt. 27:35). ....TO BE CONTINUED! |

# ONCE SAVED, SAVED FOREVER? (Page 2)................. God did not made Adam in His image and likeness because Adam named the animals, neither was it because he tended and kept the garden of Eden. From his creation (Adam's birth), God gave him His nature; God extended his favour towards him. No animal or plant has this privilege from God, only man did. "Even as David also describeth the blessedness of a man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works." (Rom. 4:6). The nature of God in Adam encompasses, God's abilities and His personality; including that of righteousness. We must never fail to recognise that, after God created Adam, He never said that Adam shouldnt work out his 'salvation' (Salvation from sin; its power and from d devil being able to infect him wit it, as sin began in heaven and already in existence b4 Adam) with fear and trembling! As a matter of fact, God gave Adam the instruction never to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the consequence that follows if that instruction is being violated, because he wanted him to live out that godly nature in him with fear and trembling. "A man who fears God, is one who takes decisions considering God's instructions." Just as amango tree brings forth mango fruits, Adam, who can be likened to a righteous tree, needed to bring forth a righteous fruit in the fear of God. 'But, where is the place of righteousness without God's instructions?' "If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him." (1John 2:29). Righteousness is first a person (Rom. 4:6), befor the expression of that person (1John 2:29). The evidence and visible proof that Adam is really a product of God's nature, is seen in his complete obedience to God's instructions (his work of righteousness). Righteousness is from the greek word; 'DIKHAIOSUNE' (pronounced as 'DIK-AH-YOS- OO-NAY'), which means, 'Divine righteousness;' a pattern of life that deems right in the eyes of God. No other life deems right before God than obedience to His commands and instructions; "Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left." (Deut. 5:32). The word 'RIGHTEOUSNESS' is so much a big deal to God, that He decided to wipe out with flood, the entire generation for the lack of it. The only man saved with his family, wasn't saved because he had two heads or somthing more than others in his generation; he was delivered by God Himself from the flood because he yielded himself to a life of righteousness. "...Noah was a righteous man, blameless (did not violate God's instructions that came to him) among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God." (Gen. 6:8, NIV, bracket mine). If we study the Bible closely, we wil discover that God only turned His back on the children Israel whenever righteousness is lacking (whenever they fail to do things in accordance with His instructions). Christ, speaking in Matt. 6:33, said; "But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Christ was simply saying, "Make God's kingdom and His standard of living your first priority, in this is the real blessing." Righteousness is the original standard of life that God requires from humanity. Any believer that is not bringing forth the fruit of righteousness in his or her life, is living contrary to who he or she is...like a mango tree bearing paw paw fruit...totally unacceptable to the law of nature; its nothing but witch craft! Adam did not fail in his responsibilities ( to keep and dress the garden), but he failed in righteousness ( to keep God's instruction faithfully), as it was what the devil attacked in his life, knowing that, whatever accomplishment a man gets outside God's instructions is totally unacceptable in the kingdom. ....TO BE CONTINUED! |
