Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 9:39am On Mar 19, 2019
The *eternal value* of *any human soul* is *priceless* in the eyes of *God* thus
"In the same way, I tell you, there will be *more/great joy* in *heaven* over *one sinner* who *repents* than over *ninety-nine respectable people* who *do not need* to *repent*." (Luke 15:7)
My/Your repentance from sin/unbelief is far-more important to God than those who are still *steadfast* in faith, this is not to *discourage* those who are steadfast rather bearing in mind that it is the Holy Spirit that *lives out this steadfastness in a believer* they should appreciate his steadfast works in their lives and continually remain submissive to his leading.

Child of God, no matter what sin/lifestyle you have found yourself in the past or presently Jesus Christ paid the *price* for that *sin* on Calvary and he wants *me/you* to *repent/reject/renounce them and confess *all of them to him* so that he will release his *precious blood to cleanse us and make us whole again* yes for any/every time we confess our sins/unbelief/weakness to Jesus Christ, He is *always ready to wash and make us whole again* and even restore to a higher level in glory before that particular backsliding thus "the latter glory shall be better than the former glory" (Haggai 2:9).

This forgiveness and restoration does not encourage *complacency/impunity* in sinful living because the Holy Spirit takes his position inside such a person who has repented and received forgiveness *both* to *will* and *do his good pleasures* till the end (Phil. 2:13, 1 Cor.1:8-9).

Holy Spirit give us sincere passion for human souls and reverence for their eternal value as we meet people continually in our daily endeavors in Jesus Name. Amen.

The dead know better *THE ETERNAL VALUE OF RECEIVING THE GOSPEL INSTANTLY*

DO NOT WAIT AFTER YOU DIE TO ACCEPT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

"So he said, 'Father, I beg you then to send Lazarus to my father's house, since I have five brothers to give them warning so that they do not come to this place of torment too.'"(Lk.16:27-28).

Today {21st March, 2019} is the ONLY AND SUITABLE TIME to *repent* and BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST.

LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCEPT US AS YOUR OWN INHERITANCE BY THE PRICE OF YOUR REDEMPTIVE BLOOD. AMEN.


"Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.”{John 4:13-14 amp}

Abbah Father, quench our thirst for sin, emotional enticements, allurements/attractions of this world, challenges of this world and hunger of our human flesh{fame/power/ambition/targets/competitions} with your spring of living water through your indwelling Holy Spirit activeness every tick of time we spend on this earth in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 3:15pm On Mar 21, 2019
The woman said to Him{JESUS CHRIST}, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not get thirsty nor [have to continually] come all the way here to draw.” {John 4:15 amp}

Are you *thirsty* of this *type of eternal water* in your current situation?
Am I *thirsty* of this *eternal spring of living water* in my current challenges?

Let us approach the THRONE OF GRACE AS WE ARE....
Jesus Christ is ALWAYS READY TO RECEIVE US no matter how dirty, lonely, dejected, depressed, sinful, confused, forlorn, abandoned e.t.c. we appear before the world or in our own eyes...

Jesus Christ Our Lord, eternal fountain of living water we are here prompted by your Holy Spirit grace as we seek your mercy with our hearts/mouth wide open that you may fill us with YOUR BEING. AMEN.
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 3:39pm On Mar 21, 2019
Sympathy is the way to self-knowledge.
Our own penitence/repentance deepens as we find out our brother's sins.
Every brother's fall reminds us of our need of vigilance.
Nothing deepens our love for Christ like the deeper knowledge of His grace, which we gain as we see other souls saved by Him.
{Fulton Sheen}
"My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and is brought back by another, you should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner's soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins" (James 5:19-20 NRSVCE)

Sometimes, we choose to be dominated by our own *choice* over the will of the Holy Spirit promptings inside us and this leads us into sin however God uses such moments to take us out of our pride and awakens inside us a sympathetic love for others when we find them drawn down by such sin
thus
"But if you had known this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice', you would not have condemned the guiltless" {Matthew 12:7 NRSVCE}
Great Grace Brethren!!!

"Freedom is what we have(received inside Jesus Christ)—Christ has set us free! Stand, then, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again."
{Galatians 5:1 GNT}
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 5:21pm On Mar 21, 2019
Our *hope* inside Jesus Christ can never *disappoint us* because the *love of God* has been *poured* into our spirit through His *Holy Spirit* whom He has given us to dwell inside our spirit *forever*" {Romans 5:5}
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 8:33pm On Mar 21, 2019
If you think/assume/presume *hell-fire* does not exist
or
you think its torment does not last *forever*
think about these:
Jesus Christ confirmed the existence of hell {Luke 16:19-31} just look here
"He said, then father, I beg you to send him to my father's house--for I have five brothers--that he may warn them so that they will not also come into *this place of torment*"
{Luke 16:28}
and for your information this tormenting fire burns continuously forever
thus
"And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the *kingdom of God{Heaven}* with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into *hell* where *their worm never dies* and *the fire is NEVER QUENCHED*, for everyone(inside hell) will be *salted with fire*" {Mark 9:47-49},

"...Those who worship the beast and its image and receive a mark on their foreheads or in their hands, they will also drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger and they will be *
tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of *THEIR TORMENT GOES UP FOREVER AND EVER. there is no rest DAY OR NIGHT for those who worship the beast and its image and for anyone who receives the mark of its name*" {Revelation 14:9-11},

"Whoever believes in the Son has *eternal life*; whoever *disobeys the Son* will not see *life(eternal)*, but *MUST ENDURE GOD'S WRATH*" {John 3:36}.
Great Grace Brethren!!!
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 10:41am On Mar 22, 2019
What are you/I doing with the word of life{the gospel of Jesus Christ} implanted by the Holy Spirit inside you to save souls for the eternal kingdom of Christ Jesus?
Are we not seeing that there is *deep seated war* against the name of *Christ Jesus* in your/my country?
Are we not seeing the increasing rate of occultism/marine spirits amongs our children especially those in the primary/secondary schools not to mention tertiary institutions/universities?
Are we not seeing the *ease* at which human beings *kill* each other at the slightest provocations/abortions/ethnic-cleansing/political-ambitions in our society that *formally* exalted the sacredness of human life above *every other aspirations in life*?
Are we not perturbed by the alarming rate of sexual immorality{homosexuality, lesbianism, pedophile, rape, incest, abortions, fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography, nudity of pictures/videos/dressings/fashion, adultery, pornography, lust e.t.c} in our society today ranging from children-adolescents-parents with *impunity*?
Are we not tired of *fraudsters* under the guise of *preachers/seers/prophets*?
Are we not concerned about lack of love in our families, broken-homes, people wishing another person dead via social-media write-ups and altercations?
Are we not moved by incessant quest for get rich quick attitudes/ideologies without *tangible righteous labors/engagements* {Occultism, ritual-killings, slavery, human/child trafficking, sell/use of under-wears for charms, betting/gambling, yahoo-yahoo, ponzi-schemes, fraud/419, one-chance, armed-robbery/assassin, prostitution inside/outside the country, runs girls/boys, sugar daddy/mummy, travel out of the country by hook or crook, sell your kidney inside/outside the country to make money/wealth e.t.c} in our society currently from children to parents?

Are we not aware that it was only the word of life inside Jonah was the *only way* God designed to save *the whole nation of Nineveh*?
The message of Christ Jesus inside you/I could be the *ONLY MESSAGE* that a nation, school, family, office, neighborhood, Church, fellowship, Pastor, Priest, individual, classmates, office-colleague, friend, ministry-mate, vocation-mate, spouse, parents, children, siblings, town, village, market-line, co-passengers, business-partner e.t.c
IS EAGERLY WAITING FOR, TO RECEIVE SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS OR ELSE THEY PERISH ETERNALLY!

Do not delay the *message/utterance* before you get news of death about that person/group.
AWAKE WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST; THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENGAGING YOU/ME RIGHT NOW.
the GOSPEL is the ONLY POWER OF DELIVERANCE/SALVATION for *any human being* hence *share* it with *every human being* you encounter with the disposition to teach, love and propose *the real life of mankind* not with coercion/insults/intimidation/manipulations.

Inside keke-marwa, Danfo-bus, taxi, molue, private-lift, streets, market-line, office-morning-prayer e.t.c share the gospel, do not look at the faces of the people 1st to ascertain whether they are *welcoming*, do not be distracted by *people's seeming important discussions/conversations*, do not be distracted by the driver/conductor's bad-manners/shouting, do not be distracted by the *hiss or insults from a co-passenger*, if you are privileged move from house to house, shop to shop, one-on-one evangelism e.t.c just declare *PRAISE THE LORD {JESUS CHRIST}* and *begin with Short prayers, if possible a hymn that arouses human consciousness about our need of a Savior*, go ahead and share the gospel.

Bear in mind, so many people will resist you, out-rightly send you away HOWEVER BEAR IN MIND THAT THEIR IS ATLEAST ONE SOUL INCLUDING YOUR OWN SOUL that THE HOLY SPIRIT needs to TOUCH at each point He *arouses our mind* to share THE GOSPEL.
"We *must* work the works of Him who sent me while it is *day*; *night* is coming when no one can work" {John 9:4}

"Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance" {Ephesians 5:1-2 amp}

"But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. 4 Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. 5 For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God]" {Ephesians 5:3-5 amp}

The Healing at Bethesda:
1 Later on there was a Jewish feast (festival), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew (Jewish Aramaic) Bethesda, having five porticoes (alcoves, colonnades). 3 In these porticoes lay a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [waiting for the stirring of the water; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down into the pool at appointed seasons and stirred up the water; the first one to go in after the water was stirred was healed of his disease.] 5 There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 The invalid answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” 9 Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked.

Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews kept saying to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to pick up your pallet [because it is unlawful].” 11 He answered them, “The Man who healed me and gave me back my strength was the One who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the Man who told you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away [unnoticed] since there was a crowd in that place. 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 For this reason the Jews began to persecute Jesus continually because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.”

Jesus’ Equality with God
18 This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him, for not only was He breaking the Sabbath [from their viewpoint], but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

19 So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way. 20 For the Father dearly loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be filled with wonder. 21 Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life [and allows them to live on], even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment [that is, the prerogative of judging] to the Son [placing it entirely into His hands], 23 so that all will give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] the one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.

24 “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.

Two Resurrections
25 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, a time is coming and is [here] now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in Himself [and is self-existent], even so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself [and be self-existent]. 27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a Son of Man [sinless humanity, qualifying Him to sit in judgment over mankind]. 28 Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].

30 “I can do nothing on my own initiative or authority. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just (fair, righteous, unbiased), because I do not seek My own will, but only the will of Him who sent Me.

31 “If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid. 32 There is another [My Father] who testifies about Me, and I know [without any doubt] that His testimony on My behalf is true and valid.

Testimony of John
33 You have sent [an inquiry] to John [the Baptist] and he has testified [as an eyewitness] to the truth. 34 But the testimony I receive is not from man [a merely human witness]; but I say these things so that you may be saved [that is, have eternal life]. 35 John was the lamp that kept on burning and shining [to show you the way], and you were willing for a while to rejoice in his light.

Testimony of Works
36 But the testimony which I have is far greater than the testimony of John; for the works that the Father has given Me to finish—the very same works [that is, the miracles and proofs of My deity] that I am [now] doing—testify about Me, [by providing evidence] that the Father has sent Me.

Testimony of the Father
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form [His majesty and greatness—what He is like]. 38 You do not have His word (Scripture) abiding in you [actually living in your hearts and minds], because you do not believe in Him whom He has sent.

Testimony of the Scripture
39 You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me; 40 and still you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory and approval from men; 42 but I know you and recognize that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [because your minds are closed]; but if another comes in his own name and with no authority or power except his own, you will receive him and give your approval to an imposter. 44 How can you believe [in Me], when you [seek and] receive glory and approval from one another, and yet you do not seek the glory and approval which comes from the one and only God? 45 Do not think that I [am the One who] will accuse you before the Father. There [already] is one who accuses you: Moses, [the very one] in whom you have placed your hope [for salvation]. 46 For if you believed and relied on [the Scriptures written by] Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me [personally]. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
{John 5:1-47 amp}
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 2:34pm On Mar 25, 2019
Likewise, you younger men [of lesser rank and experience], be subject to your elders [seek their counsel]; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another [tie on the servant’s apron], for God is opposed to the proud [the disdainful, the presumptuous, and He defeats them], but He gives grace to the humble.

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, 7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].

Hope you are building up your faith and family in Christ Jesus. Always ask God for his mercy and grace hence *be assured* that *you will never depart from HIS PRESENCE* because "He delights in those who seek his mercy and grace" (Psalm 147:10-11) Grace is the *secret* of Christian faith thus "we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus so that no human being should boast of his efforts/skills/smartness/strategies/determinations e.t.c" (Ephesians 2:8 ) Great Grace to You!!!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ABORTION{RAPE OR NOT}I:
I am not supporting rape in any *sense* however there is no *pregnancy* that is *a mistake or a gift from the devil* because so many couple have been having series of sexual intercourse for years and yet no *pregnancy still* however there is expectation for God's gift of children to such couple. This also confirms that it is until *God* says let there be a child in the womb will any woman get pregnant whether it is inside or outside marriage, rape or not rape however *it is still sin to rape someone or have intercourse outside of matrimony* hence this goes further to confirm that *human beings can wrestle God and prevail like Jacob did Genesis 32:25* however not without getting a *dislocated joint* going further people can be used to manifest God's miracles, healing or even receive the miracles from God by themselves yet they are *not collaborating with grace of God for holiness, righteousness and self-control* in the Holy Spirit thus St. Paul declared "the gifts and callings of God are *irrevocable* however as it concerns the gospel they are *enemies* of God" {Romans 11:28-29}
Re: Eternal Value Of A Human Soul by ochibuogwu5: 8:49pm On Mar 26, 2019
There is no excuse for the sin of Abortion II:
Christianity is not by force, Jesus Christ{GOD} teachings is what *A Christian believes and the Holy Spirit manifests them* thus "to them that received him and believed in his name, He gave *power/ability/right/authority* to become children of God" {John 1:12}. If you believe in Christ Jesus, you *must obey all his teachings* but it is not by *head-knowledge* rather by the *control of the Holy Spirit* thus "the human flesh(head-knowledge/philosophy/theology/self-will/strategies/ideologies e.t.c) has *nothing to offer*, it is the *spirit* that gives/produces *the life of Christ Jesus (Eternal life inside any human being who believes in the Gospel) and the words I speak to you are the *Spirit* that produces this life (eternal)" and "Only those *controlled by the Holy Spirit are *Sons/Children of God indeed*" {Romans 8:14}. The secret that Jesus Christ gave to those *who have believed* in him is thus "He{Jesus Christ} was talking to those who had *believed* in him, if you *continue in my words* then you will discover the truth (of how to submit to the Holy Spirit and He will manifest my obedience through you without struggles/striving but with ease no matter the circumstances you have messed yourself up or somebody has messed you-up or biz/family relations) and this truth will set you free{from imaginative fears/emotional-traumas/depressions/anxieties/worries/scandals/get-rich-quick-ideologies}" {John 8:31-32}. Stop imagining *evil of happening to your sister or not* those things are what the devil uses to paralyze believers from standing on *grace*, there is no situation that is *greater than God's grace supplied free of charge to every human being in every situation* no matter whose ox is gored thus "Grace of God has appeared to *all human beings{believers/unbelievers} free of charge* teaching us *how to accept salvation/redemption*, same grace teaches us how to say NO to SIN, same grace teaches us how to say NO to WORLDLY PASSIONS, same grace teaches us how to live HOLY, RIGHTEOUS AND SELF-CONTROLLED LIFESTYLE on this earth, in this generation, in this economy, in any painful/pleasurable circumstance on this earth" {Titus 2:11-12} hence the Holy Spirit told St. Paul even with all his Christian exploits when he was tormented in his flesh by the devil that "My Grace is *sufficient* for you" {2 Cor.12:9} therefore "THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SIN..." {John 15:22}. There are more *terrible things* that have happened to me personally compared to the *negative-picture* you are trying to create here in order to put *human/mindset-fears* inside me but the spirit speaking through you knows better that by his grace, such things can NEVER CAJOLE MY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. There are even more within my relations however in all these *I BELIEVE AND DECREE that JESUS CHRIST IS REAL AND ALIVE TO ME AS MY GOD AND MY LORD!!! GREAT GRACE DEAR!!!

2. That dude is "loaded", he is an importer and exporter based abroad and promised to buy you a benz,You must marry that man and travel too with him or else you....�
3. You must get pregnant for your date since He doesn't want to propose to you so you can tie him down to marry you, by fire by force...its alright! �
4. He said he must sleep with You before he sees your parents and start the first marital rites and you agreed,what if he does that severally and after that concludes, "Sorry,you are not good in bed,I don't want to be seeking for sexual satisfaction outside my marriage ". Its the same old trick ohh,na dem dem�

5. He wants to marry you and he is said he is from one community in the Eastern Nigeria and insists you must get pregnant before He commences the marital rites,you loose up and take in,he now drifts saying it must be a boy before he makes any move,Gbam!!! the pregnancy scan shows its a girl��. Poor you.�
6. All your friends and even younger ones are " made",your class mate whilst in school just did a "classy"wedding and you must not be exempted, then you travel abroad to do that dubious business so you can shake up the city and send some dough home...after all You "deserve some accolades" too�. What if you can't even have your peace of mind and dignity as a human anymore over there or worst of all ,what if you get deported� and your Mum becomes �?
7. You are one of these :a single lady, separated, divorced, widowed or a single mum, you accept the norm that you'd have to wear the skimpy and provocative wears revealing your boobs or ripped trousers exposing your "hot thighs" all in the name of fashion to attract � Mr Right�‍�....seriously if you were a man,would you consider yourself a wife material�? Doesn't he have advisers when its time to choose a wife? Would they recommended you�, Yes or no? SELAH!!!

Sweetheart,It's far more than your looks or body curves, be modest,keep on keeping on and fear God more than you'd fear rats,the dude may lust over you, oh yes, but the sad news is that he still desires for a wife a lady of virtue and modest in dressing and personality like his wonderful mum. He wants a queen in the making as a wife,queens are always decent yet charming and winsome. Babe, visit the Queen of England and see that Decency is still trendy and rocks�
6. You've been content with how you've been coping with your husband but your Social media friends are always trendy and posting pictures with their latest hot outfits daily,then you put your husband under undue pressure and cook half meal for your children so you can save and buy wears so you too can 'belong�� as you post and dub yourself " slay queen" Do you know the motives behind your friends posts or the source of their money? What if they don't buy those clothes? What if they have a boutique - picking and replacing the clothes back after wearing? �

Friends,in all these,just be content.Life is simple and is not in the number of undue human accolades but the God's accolades you get; how many lives have been affected positively for God via your life or posts on social media, do you impact lives,does your life preach the goodness of our God;don't be in competition with any one to outdo one another; don't dig your early grave by insisting on making that relationship work even when you can see signs of prayerlessness, infidelity, pomposity, hot temperedness and undue extravagant spending in your spouse to be, run for your dear life��‍♂��‍♀,after all, a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.�

� GEM FOR TODAY
We should never be impatience at the seemingly "inactivity or slowness" of God then we take things into our own hands and try to be our own Providence. Please Know God for yourself; be still and know He is God. Affect lives, touch lives and bring people closer to God rather than farther from God in all your endeavors. He is never late, He is right there on time and when its your time, you sure don't need to announce it, people 'd share the good news for you. Amen.

� Your plans may fail,rely on God for He is the one to "work" things for you...not you, not by yourself��‍♂�‍♀.

�Thank God its Thursday: Flourishing moments of Self Reprimand �.

Love�
Chychy.

No human being can be smarter than *God's Grace*

God's Grace is *expressed* in his words and manifestations interpreted in line with *Jesus Christ teachings*

for those who say *think outside the box* when the see the bible and its content as *box*

Unless you are not a Christian,

if you operate/think/act/decide outside of God's grace, you will *hurt yourself and others not God*

thus

"Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled" {Hebrews 12:15}.

God's grace is capable of solving or handling any situation any man or woman delves into inside this world surrounded by evil, wickedness, bitterness, lies, injustice, fears, blackmail, immoralities e.t.c

thus

For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live self-controlled, upright, and holy lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age/world/generation" {Titus 2:11-12 amp}

because

"All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work." {2 Timothy 3:16-17 amp}.

GREAT GRACE BRETHREN!!!

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING
My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same.
There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday.
Before I take off your cloth and make love to you… let me tell you few things.
I have nothing to hide from you from this day. My phone, you can use it like your own. You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram
From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hungry, I do things the way I want to. I come home whenever I want to but all that ends today. From today you become my mother, who will scold me when I come home late, a mother who will wake me up at six to go work, a mother who will ensure I don’t sleep hungry. I am glad I have a mother in you.
I hope you will be a good mother? Don’t be too harsh and I promise I won’t be too stubborn. Sometimes I will give you headache but I promise, I will also be the cure of every headache.
When my parents died, I looked after my brothers and sisters. I was like a father to them. So i will not have problem being a father to you. Hope all men will be as nice as dis. Let's treat women like egg. Women are precious, their value is priceless.

Faith in Christianity is not just about *prayers* but *studying, knowing and believing JESUS CHRIST* more and more as every tick of time increases and each day goes by...
Is my faith in Jesus Christ increasing?
Is your faith in Jesus Christ increasing?
All these years of learning about Jesus Christ(Discipleship), are we engaging in *soul-winning* for Christ Jesus by the *fire of the Holy Ghost* in this *age/generation* or are we just *mere-hearers* of his words?

THE REVIVAL/MOVE-OF-GOD IS *ON-GOING*,
let us become part of it...
All we need to do is *implore the Holy Ghost* to release HIS FIRE upon us as *each individual* had *a fire seat upon each of their heads* on the day of Pentecost {Acts 2:3}...

HOLY GHOST FILL US WITH *YOUR FIRE* AS ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST FOR YOUR REVIVAL/MOVE IN THIS OUR GENERATION IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
GREAT GRACE BRETHREN!!!
