Happy Easter celebration people. Jesus loves you
Christianity Etc › The Beautiful Things Of Easter by Interesting15(op): 6:31am On Apr 17, 2022
The exciting Easter season is here again, and it's obvious in the atmosphere. However, beyond the eating and drinking and holidays, we must place emphasis on the most important thing: The Resurrection of Christ. Without the Resurrection, there won't be Easter celebration.

A lot of folks celebrating Easter don't even know the purpose of the Resurrection - which explains why many abuse a day like this on sinful activities all in the name of Easter celebration.

However, this is a time to reflect upon the great sacrifice Jesus Christ made for undeserving folks like us, and it should stir up worship in our hearts.

It is humbling to know that Jesus Christ was only compelled by Love to pass through the pain of death just to procure salvation to us and make humanity an honorable race once again. After man fell in the Garden of Eden, mankind lost the glory of God which it was originally clothed with, and we entered the class of mere animals. However, the resurrected Jesus Christ came to restore the glory, and we became creatures operating in the God-kind of class. If the Resurrection had not taken place and the process of salvation completed, we will still be ignorantly living below dignity, like animals of the wild! Thank You Jesus!

The Beautiful Things Of Easter: The Procurement Of Eternal Life

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die" John 11:25,26


John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life


The Resurrection ensured the tangibility of eternal life. The eternal life will be divinely obtained if "... you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).

The life we obtained because of the resurrection, empowers us to overcome these five integral enemies of mankind.

1. Death
2. Sin
3. Satan and Hell
4. Self
5. Sickness and Poverty

Because of space, I will only talk about Death here. If you need the full text of this message, contact me via https://www.sundayakanni.com/p/contact-me.html


Enemy Number 1: Death

"Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God" Romans 6:9,10



The very first enemy God informed Adam of beforehand, was death. So when God told him to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He was only trying to secure him from an enemy he (Adam) wasn't aware of - death. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve, through disobedience, gave death the right to rule over them.

Death became a nasty ruler over mankind, finding expression in different ways. It (death) first ensured separation between man and God (spiritual death), before it started weakening his body and soul, to the degree that his body can degrade and die. Death was having a field day terrifying mankind (death is usually excited when it makes mankind sorrowful), until God brought the solution. Jesus Christ died and resurrected, and faith in this will get us infused with eternal life (which is the perfect antidote to death).


So, we are no longer spiritually dead, as this eternal life (which comes with the gift of the Holy Spirit) awaken our spirits and makes us alive in the realm of our Source - God. The Spirit approve us that we are no longer separated from God, but are now His sons and daughters, even His Living Stones.

Additionally, we are empowered to pick our inheritances as sons of God - one of which is long life in this physical world. "With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation" (Psalm 91:16). Permit no thought of premature death! You cannot die prematurely! In fact, nothing dies in your hands!

Hallelujah!


In conclusion, the celebration of Jesus' Resurrection should compel you to yield yourself to the LORD in total surrender.

If you are yet to give your life to Jesus, today is the best day! Anywhere you are right now, ask Jesus for mercy, and ask Him to come into your life. He won't reject you!

This is the best time to serve GOD. Draw closer to the LORD.
Christianity Etc › When You Are Addicted To Pornography by Interesting15(op): 6:53am On Apr 10, 2022
There are tons of avid patronisers of pornography all around the world. Many young people jumped into this immoral venture via curiosity and the inability to have full control over themselves.

There are also many adults who have become a slave to both the bitter pleasures attached with pornography, as well as its numerous unpleasant side-effects. Some folks who are currently swimming in this dirty pool usually, at the first instance, give reasons like "I'm only trying to learn how to please my partner on the bed". Unfortunately, the demons that governs the pornography space and industry don't reason the way you reason, and they strike porn users hurriedly as soon as the chance comes.

It's so bad. There are so many people in our society currently under the intense yoke of pornography. Perhaps, you are also one of them. But today, if you are ready to cooperate with the Spirit of God, there will be a revival indeed.

There is really nothing good in pornography. It is a perversion that defiles nature, as well as the divine order. The Will of God the Supreme Creator, is that sex should be a honourable and sacred activity, and sexual acts should be a private affair between a married man and his female wife in the safe circle of their marriage institution. Everything about porn is perversion.

You see, whenever you see a porn apologist (those saying there's nothing wrong with porn), please, don't only be wary of them, also flee from them. Let me expose them here. The average porn apologist is aware that everything is wrong with pornography, but they can't help but promote this immoral thing just for personal reasons. Some of them are directly working for the devil (terrible witches and wizards practicing diabolical occultism), and must do the biddens of their master the devil (which includes, luring and seducing others into sinful activities, so he can have a chance to afflict them). Don't be deceived by their outward appearances.

Some other porn apologists are doing what they do because they don't want to be the only ones that will go on suffering from the unpleasant repercussions that follows pornography. Privately and secretly, they personally regret starting the journey of pornographic pleasures, but as they are stuck, they want others to be like them, hence, they portray porn in a positive light. I'm telling you the truth! Don't be deceived by their outward appearances.

The terrible effects of pornography are very many. I'm sure you already know some of them. But even more than you know, there are deeper bitter repercussions attached to pornography.

It is possible to totally overcome pornography addiction. The Will of God is that you should have dominion over everything, and you shouldn't be under the yoke of immoralites (and satan with hell)

You can reclaim your dominion and authority by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This is the first important step you must take. Anywhere you are, open your heart and just say, "Jesus, please come into my life". If you are sincere, God will definitely come to you (because He loves you)

The Holy Spirit will be sent to help you. You now have the power and authority to rebuke lust (even out of your heart and thoughts) and temptations too. One of the things that will happen to you when you give your life to Christ is that you will experience a shift of mindset, and your thought patterns will be divinely enhanced and rightly empowered. You will no longer find solace in porn (or things that will get you dirty and hurt you). You will know the proper way to live life, and will form new habits that glorifies God, and that will ensure you enjoy the dominion you have been destined to have (don't forget that been under sin makes people forfeit their right to rule their world)

On your part, it is helpful to be accountable to a matured believer around you. Set right boundaries and be busy with productive activities (including fulfilling your purpose, utilising your talents, engaging in constant spiritual activities like praying and studying of God's Word, etc). Also take appropriate sacrifices (such as putting away your smart phone for some time). You are on your way to victory.

Hallelujah! Glory to JESUS. Continue loving YAHWEH.

"...because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14


The Will of God is that we live holy just as He is Holy. Without holiness, we can't please Him, and we can't walk with Him in an acceptable manner.

When it comes to issues pertaining to sexual pleasure, note that God's Will is that all manner of sexual pleasure should be shared between a husband and his married wife (a female) in the safe confines of their marriage institution, with no other party involved.

It means you should have nothing to do with the following:

- Premarital sex (having sex when you are not married)
- Extramarital Sex (having sex with someone other than your own spouse).
- Homosexuality (sexual relations between members of same gender)
- Pornography (It is sinful to derive sexual pleasure from seeing the unclothedness of other)
- Masturbation (You must not play with your sexual organs for sexual pleasure)
- Other Immoral Sexual Acts like smooching someone not your married spouse, sextings and the rest of them

Today, we know that many people are still slaves to sexual sins, and they are being plundered massively by the devil. Note that there are different tools the wicked one (the devil) is utilizing to bring humans into bondage, and sexual immorality is one of the prominent ones.

You don't have to remain a slave to sexual immorality, the LORD, in scriptures, have given the victory

"...because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14


Simple: The Word of God gives the victory!

The Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, where you will be empowered to overcome anything evil (including sexual immorality and addictions).


And I'm delighted to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you want to overcome sexual immorality and addictions.

Hence, you will make the best decision today when you decide to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour of your life. Simply open your heart and ask Jesus for mercy today.

Also, the LORD has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered to live above the lust of the flesh.

Finally, avoid feeding your flesh with lustful things (romantic movies and novels, bad songs, and so on).

Remember, the LORD your Good Father has given you all it takes to overcome the evil one with all of his dirty things. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Open up yourself to the LORD JESUS today. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation.

"I have written to you, young men (young people), because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14

In the above verse, the Apostle John, by the Holy Spirit, was able to identify three things which should contribute to our identity as young people (as healthy young people).


First, he mentioned the strength of young people. Of course, a healthy young person is physically stronger than the elderly one. However, since the Apostle John, at the point of writing this, was in the realm of the Spirit which is above this material world of ours, his expressions wasn't limited to simply the things we know in our own realm here. Hence, when he was taking about being strong, he wasn't limiting himself to mere physical strength.


Apostle John was trying to draw our attention to the fact that it is the destiny of every young person to have divine strength and stamina. One major expression of divine strength is the capacity to stay in the presence of God continually. Simply put, as a young person, you have the inherent potential and ability to have a pleasant relationship with God right from the days of your youth - notwithstanding the hindrances and distractions prevalent today.

How is this possible? The second statement gave us the key: "... because the word of God abides in you". You see, the Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, and it is what will sustain you in Him, even in this dark world.

And I'm pleased to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you would maximize your potentials as a "strong" youth. Hence, it is your destiny to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour today. Simply open your heart and ask Jesus for mercy today.

Additionally, Jesus Christ has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered.

Finally, this verse reveals that every young person has the potential to overcome the evil one. How? Through the Word of GOD! You are not meant to be a slave to the devil and anything else negative - sickness, poverty, failure, sin, hell, and so on. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Open up yourself to the LORD JESUS today. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. GOD bless you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. God's Words
Romance › Should You Have Sex On Valentine's Day? by Interesting15(op): 1:48pm On Feb 14, 2022
This is a brief one.

Now, due to personal reasons, I'm not in the habit of digging for the 'true' genesis of Valentine's Day. However, I've come to realized that in the human world, Valentine's Day is usually synonymous with Love (the 'human-kind' of love). I used those words because many humans believe already that love must be inside the same vehicle with sex (which means, the 'human-kind of Love' is not love in it actual self, but Lust, Infatuation, and anything negative you can think of)

It's a norm already for people to have sex on Valentine's Day as they believe the celebration isn't complete without sex. However, wisdom demands that we should be wary of the direction of the crowd, because the crowd can be wrong - and it is always fatal when the crowd is wrongly heading towards a wrong direction (because it means more lives would be ruined).

And so, it is quite nice to have a curiosity that seeks to know/determine if the culture of the crowd is right or wrong, healthy or harmful. The point here is, despite that almost everyone sees sex on Valentine's Day as quite normal, we are wise if we are bent on determining its rightness or wrongness.

I promised to be brief earlier, so, let me go straight to the point. If you must have sex on Valentine's Day, ensure you only have the 'Right Type of Sex'. Yeah, don't be surprised. There is a kind of sex that is right and healthy, and there are other ones that are wrong and harmful. Let me confidently say here that the 'Right Type of Sex' is sexual pleasure shared between a married man and his wife - any other thing is 'perfectly wrong'.

And why am I so sure of all these? Number 1, because that's what God told me in His Word, and I'm confident that God can never be wrong. God made sex, and being the Manufacturer, He is in the best position to tell us how to approach sex. And what He said is that He made sex to achieve certain divine purposes between a legally married man and his female wife inside the safe confines of their marriage institution - and any other contrary thing is a sin, harmful, and will bring forth fatal fruits.

Number 2, considering the effects that follows sex outside marriage, it is simple to identify what is right and what is wrong. Yeah, it is actually simple. You know, deep down within them, those engaging in premarital/extramarital sex are aware of the degree of it wrongness. The issue is, they intentionally allowed their urges and quest for pleasure to becloud their reasoning. And that's why those that engages in illicit sexual activities MUST always do it in secret, behind tightly closed doors. They can't flaunt the fruits with pride like a married couple would. Even the most hardened atheist will hide their illicit sexual activities from their married spouses - deep down, humans can identify rightness and wrongness. Then, we can't ignore the repercussions that follows: Physical Damages, Emotional Damages, Spiritual Damages and even Societal Damages.

So, despite being the popular norm, should you have sex on Valentine's Day (and beyond Valentine's Day)?

Answer: NO - If you are unmarried and won't share the pleasure with your married spouse.

Why? Apart from the fact that it is a sin against the Almighty God, also think about the terrible repercussions. The few-minute pleasure can ruin your life forever!

You can contract a fatal sexual virus (condoms won't always save you) that will bring an end to your great dreams, goals and aspirations. You can bring forth an "unwanted pregnancy" that will attract disgrace to you and your family (condoms and pills are not 100% effective). By attempting to abort the pregnancy, implications might arise, leading to premature death, or damage of the womb and becoming barren forever.

In fact, your sex partner might be a terrible person with a deadly motive to drug you, rape you and make a video of your unclothedness in your unconscious state. The few-minute pleasure is not worth it at all! Flee sexual immorality

God bless you

Christianity Etc › 5 Reasons You Should Be Thankful To God For Today by Interesting15(op): 6:58am On Feb 13, 2022
God is very good to us, despite that we don't deserve the least of His mercies. He has been furnishing us with constant goodness (even those that are yet to know Him are also enjoying this). It's wisdom to pause occasionally and reflect upon God's goodness towards us, and this should propel us to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Here are some things you should thank God for today.

1. For The Gift Of Life

Some of those who saw the new year with you are now dead and couldn't see this month. In fact, there are people who slept last night but couldn't see today. Thus, that you are alive today is a function of God's Grace. Many of those that are dead are much better than you are. Worship God for the gift of life. And always remember that one major reason He has enabled you to see today is so you could take a step closer to Him in an intimate relationship, before the end of today.

2. For The Gift Of Salvation

Because of Love, GOD decided to come into the world to reconcile us back to Himself through Jesus Christ. And the Bible says, 'For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life' John 3:16. If not for Jesus coming to reclaim for us the authority and dominion we lost in the garden of Eden, we would still be under the bondage of sin, the devil, hell and everything negative.


3. For The Beautiful Things He Has Given Us

First, as we embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour and we yield to His Holy Spirit, He makes us alive in the realm of the spirit, and we became kings and priests unto God, exercising dominion on the earth realm. He gave us the sweet Holy Spirit Who keeps helping us in all ways. Also, GOD has blessed us with great and wonderful things (a beautiful family, cars, houses, thriving business, flourishing ministry, etc,). Thank Him for these beautiful things. He is a good God Who keeps blessing us with pleasant things.

4. For The Wisdom In His Word

The Word of GOD is a great blessing to us. If we live in accordance with His precepts, we become wise, and we enjoy eternal life. The Bible should be given greater priority above all other opinions and thoughts. Also, be always eager to hear what God is saying to you per time. You will keep experiencing true peace and prosperity.


5. For The Glory He Has Prepared For Us In Eternity

GOD is not myopic. Rather, He has prepared glorious things for us beyond time and this brief corrupt world. We are aware that when we die, or when Jesus Christ comes back again, we will be alive with Him in eternity, and we will enjoy glory and bliss forever more! Glory to God! Remember, only those who have embraced Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (and are living a life of holiness) will get to heaven, while sinners will walk into eternal trouble. Appreciate GOD for giving us Jesus Christ to take us to eternal peace.

God is good. Amen

Christianity Etc › Wisdom For The Young by Interesting15(op): 9:00am On Jan 30, 2022
The Bible says, "Wisdom is the principal thing.." That is to say, we should give great priority to seeking and getting wisdom, particularly as young people who want to live a successful and fulfilled life. Indeed, Wisdom is an integral determinant when it comes to true success...

Unfortunately, many young people today are not interested in wisdom in our present world. They prefer garbages and a quick hasty life. And the truth is, a life lived without wisdom will always have terrible repercussions. The person's steps (even the very little ones) will keep leading them into issues

Now, in a funny world like ours, there are different absurd things that are deemed wisdom, and different absurd sources people seeks to get wisdom.

But the best thing to do as far as the chase for wisdom is concerned is to seek Wisdom Himself. God is Wisdom. He is the True Source of Eternal Wisdom. And what we learn from Him gets us empowered to live a fulfilled eternal life...

Truly, we can learn and hear a lot from Him through scriptures/the Bible (which are His Words). So, while there are many scriptures which young people should give great priority to if they want to be wise, what I want to do now is to draw our attention to one or two.

"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, 'I have no pleasure in them"

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear GOD and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil" Ecclesiastes 12: 1, 13,14


As a young person, your primary purpose and aim should be ensuring an intimate righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature, through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. And which makes you a true success both here on earth and in eternity.

Humans were created by the Creator to have dominion over creation. Unfortunately, we lost this when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But Jesus Christ came to restore the Authority we lost. We are meant to have dominion and exercise rulership. Hence, it is an abberation to be a slave to sin, sickness, poverty, satan, hell fire, and other negative things. The way to have true dominion is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God, which is what empowers us to rule as kings and priests. "And (Jesus Christ) have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" Revelation 5:10. This is your destiny - but it can only be a reality in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Is More Than Sufficient. If you don't know anybody, but you know Jesus, it is more than enough. You don't need to have connections before you excel - once you know Jesus Christ, you won't be small. Hence, it is wisdom to have a relationship with Jesus Christ

Wisdom demands that young people should make up their minds to start serving GOD from now. Walking with God in spirit and in truth is what ensure a fulfilled life. The best time to do so is now. Because that's one primary purpose we were created


Live your life with wisdom. Always remembering that God is taking notes on what you do... In secret and public. A day will come when we will give account of ourselves.

If we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and have said in His word the Bible, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity. It doesn't matter your religion - mediate on the words of the Bible and live your life in accordance to biblical principles.

The Holy Spirit Is A Real Helper

Five Valuable Things I Picked Recently

Actually, I learnt a lot of things in the past year that has contributed heavily to my growth. Let me pick five of them which I believe will be beneficial to you too.

1. That God Loves Humankind Much More Than I Thought

I've known since childhood that God so loved the world, and love made Him gave us His only begotten Son Jesus to die for our sins. Nevertheless, I started realizing last year that God's Love in Christ Jesus is much deeper than we think we know. As in, God, despite being Omnipotent and can do without us, is still chasing us about, trying to bring us to Himself so we can become sons and daughters of His, and live a blessed life. Jesus died for us when we don't deserve it. And while many people in the world today are running away from having an intimate relationship with Him, His Love keeps chasing them so they won't be destroyed. Then I learnt that, for a lifetime, I will have to keep learning and exploring the mystery of the Love of Christ.

2. That All Humans Are Meant To Have Dominion As Kings And Priests

Humans were created by the Creator to have dominion over creation. Unfortunately, we lost this when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But Jesus Christ came to restore the Authority we lost. We are meant to have dominion and exercise rulership. Hence, it is an abberation to be a slave to sin, sickness, poverty, satan, hell fire, and other negative things. The way to have true dominion is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God, which is what empowers us to rule as kings and priests. "And (Jesus Christ) have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" Revelation 5:10. This is your destiny - but it can only be a reality in Christ Jesus.


3. Biblical Principles Should Be Given Greater Priority Above All Other Opinions

If we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and have said in His word the Bible, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity. It doesn't matter your religion - mediate on the words of the Bible and live your life in accordance to biblical principles.

4. That Jesus Is More Than Sufficient
If you don't know anybody, but you know Jesus, it is more than enough. You don't need to have connections before you excel - once you know Jesus Christ, you won't be small. Hence, it is wisdom to have a relationship with Jesus Christ


5. That The Holy Spirit Is A Real Helper
I started seeing the Holy Spirit helping me in ways I haven't seen before, and He became real to me than before. The Holy Spirit enjoys helping us. Give Him a chance to help you.

God bless the new year for your sake as you cultivate an intimate relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

"Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is favor" Proverbs 14:9

The devil is very cunny, and he is always strategizing how to get more people into hell. One of his strategies is to craftily bring up trends where people starts attaching less importance to eternity, and even become relaxed towards the concept of hell.

So, you see many people makeing various jokes about Hell Fire, and those living in sin are no longer afraid of the thoughts of getting doomed forever in hell when they depart this world. The devil wants people to take Hell Fire with levity. However, Hell Fire is a place you should FEAR. The thoughts of it alone should send fearful shivers down your spine and then get you uncomfortable. Hell Fire is filled with everlasting agony, pain and torment!

You should be scared of going to Hell Fire when you leave this world. And then, that fear ought to propel you to live a lifestyle that won't make you a candidate of hell fire

Hell is a place God has prepared for satan (rebellious Lucifer) and his demons (fallen angels). Cunning Lucifer was able to pull some angels to his side to rebel against The Almighty God. And after the devil was sent down from heaven alongside his cohorts, their punishment is to be eternally doomed inside the fire that never quench (see Jude verse 6, Revelation 12: 7-13, Mark 9: 47, 48)

There are certain principles that governs the universe which God won't want to interfere with. One of these principles is: What A Person Sows, He/She Reaps. If you sow a corn, you reap a corn (and not mangoes). If you sow wickedness, you reap the bitter rewards of wickedness. If you live a reckless lifestyle of sin, you reap the bitter rewards of sin (which is death, according to Romans 6: 23)

Let's look at things with our 'human wisdom'. Why do we punish lawbreakers? Why do we send to jail thieves and murderers? Aren't we all humans? That is it! It is absurd giving the same rewards to a lawbreaker and a law-abiding citizen. A law-abiding citizen would be praised, a lawbreaker punished. This is not wickedness, it is simply one of life's principles: What You Sow Is What You Reap!

You can't live a lifestyle filled with violence and sin, and then expect to get the same rewards as a righteous person before God. It doesn't work that way. A righteous person receives the reward for his/her actions, an unrighteous person receives a different reward. Despite being a loving and merciful God, this is a principle God won't want to interfere with.

So, although hell fire was initially created for satan and his demons, any human that would leave this world as a sinner is going to be punished in hell fire.

But, Is God Really A Loving God?

Yes! God showed His love by giving use The Perfect Solution That Prevents Us From Being Doomed In Hell Fire. What solution? God sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to come to the world to die for sinners (John 3:16). Anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and then live continually obeying His Words and Will, are saved from hell fire! If you live a righteous life for Jesus Christ here on earth, when you leave this world, you are going to Heaven! (Heaven is God's choice for you! The place God desire you should be!)

God, a Holy God, isn't comfortable looking towards the direction of the world due to the numerous sin that abounds (our world is dirty!). God desire destroying the world and then make a new one filled with holiness and pleasantness. But LOVE! He is patiently waiting for many to repent and come to Him.

When you die, where is your destination? Heaven or Hell Fire? Hey, you can die before the end of today! When Jesus comes, no chance for repentance again! If the trumpet should sound today, God has tried enough waiting for more people to repent.

Therefore, before it's too late, repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, and permanently quit sin and unrighteousness.

For those who are not yet believing these, listen to what the Lord Jesus is saying: "Surely I am coming quickly"

And the Saints will say: Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

And to we Christians who are approved children of God, Jesus is saying to us: "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown".

The Wages Of Sin

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 6:23



When God created mankind in the garden of Eden so they could enjoy the blessings attached to serving Yahweh as well as the fulfilment associated with walking intimately with the Creator, they unfortunately allowed the evil devil to make them sin against God. The results were disastrous. Mankind became imperfect and became a slave to sin, satan and hell.


Sin brings death - a separation between the creation and the divine Creator. It is brutal because when one detaches from one's source, the implications will always be severe. When Lucifer detached himself from God through rebellion, he became the cursed devil, knowing no peace forever. This is how bad sin is.


In different generations, mankind was groping in darkness, because he was cut off from his source (which is God) by sin. Our world became unpleasant and corruption kept thriving in different dimensions. It appears as if mankind can't but do evil. The wages of sin is not pleasant.


But being a loving God, the Creator decided to help mankind, and the solution is that He came to the earth in the form of man to suffer and die for our sins. So, scripture says:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) that whosever believes in Him won't perish but have eternal life". John 3:16


So, God's way of saving us from the hands of the devil and sin and hell, is that we put our faith in Jesus Christ and His finished works on the cross of calvary.


The Will of God is that you will be empowered to have dominion - over sin, satan, hell, sickness, poverty, and anything else that's negative. You shouldn't be a slave to these things. And this can only be possible when you have the life of God in you through faith in the LORD JESUS.


This is the good news!!!


God is no longer angry with us. In Christ Jesus, you become a new creature, a sinless person. All you need do is to embrace Jesus as LORD and Saviour today.


Simply tell Him, "LORD Jesus, have mercy on me and be my Lord and savior"


The good news is, as you engage God through constant prayers and study of His Word, you grow, and you are empowered to rule - over sin, satan, death, hell, and anything negative.


Do away with sin. Embrace Life today in Christ Jesus. God bless you.

Ignore agents of the devil trying to paint sexual immorality as being normal. Live your life for Jesus Christ. This is your destiny.

We can't ignore how sexual immorality caused a lot of damages in the lives of so many people (particularly young people) this past year. It is really heartbreaking watching young folks suffering and living a wrecked and wretched lifestyle and giving room to the devil to get them ruined.

See how sexual immorality (particularly premarital sex, porn and masturbation) has turned many young and brilliant people into a nuisance without purpose and focus in life again. Many are now public dogs, STDs carriers, drugs and alcohol addicts, single and premature parents, and the evil devil has brought all form of ugliness into their lives.

The truth is, our society will continue to be an unpleasant one if we keep going contrary to the will of God and embracing immorality. Immorality (like other types of sin) empowers the kingdom of darkness to wreck havoc in our society. So, if people failed to go back to God in repentance, then you can expect more headaches in the society

The Will of God for sex is that all forms of sexual pleasures should be shared only between a married husband and his female wife inside the safe confines of their marriage institution, with no other party involved.

Anyone that will obey God's instructions can be sure of living a lifestyle that is devoid of the fatal pangs and pains associated with sexual immorality.

If you will obey God's loving commandments as regards the enjoyment of sexual pleasures (which is actually for your own safety and good), then you must stop these sexual acts and not carry them with you to this new year:

1. Premarital Sex: Fornication is having sex when you are not married. Sex is actually meant for married couples (a male and a female) alone. Even if fornication is the norms out there, don't follow the crowd. Be unique and pure. Yes, it is possible to tame your sexual urges. Don't indulge in premarital sex, and you won't have to experience the negativities attached to it (unwanted pregnancy, STDs, and so on). You can also see more tips on sundayakanni.com

2. Extramarital Sex: Adultery is simply about having sex with someone other than your own spouse. As a married person, ensure you are contented with your husband or wife, and don't have an extramarital affair. The repercussions of adultery are usually deadly. Believe me, the few-minute pleasure derived from illicit sex is not worth the coming pain.

3. Homosexuality: This is sexual relations between members of same gender, like lesbianism (which is between females) and gayism (which is between males). Such things are dirty and an abomination that should be hated. If you are doing this, call upon the Name of the LORD Jesus for deliverance, and He will surely save you.

4. Pornography: God made sex to be an honorable act. It should be a private thing between a husband and his female wife. It is sinful to derive sexual pleasure from seeing the unclothedness of others. It is also sinful to video your sexual encounters and share them with others. Repent this year hence you will regret it!

5. Masturbation: You must not play with your sexual organs for sexual pleasures. You are going against God; and masturbation will only damage your body, soul and spirit.

6. Other Immoral Sexual Acts like smooching someone not your married spouse, sextings and the rest of them

Repent from immoral sexual activities and don't go with them into 2022. Live your life honouring God in holiness and purity. You are meant to have an eternal communion with God your Creator through Jesus Christ, as this is what will empower you to have dominion over creation. This is your destiny. Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and walk with Him in spirit and in truth.

Receive the strength to live your life for God, in JESUS NAME.

Christianity Etc › Five Valuable Things I Picked In 2021 by Interesting15(op): 7:08am On Jan 02, 2022
Actually, I learnt a lot of things in the past year that has contributed heavily to my growth. Let me pick five of them which I believe will be beneficial to you too.

1. That God Loves Humankind Much More Than I Thought

I've known since childhood that God so loved the world, and love made Him gave us His only begotten Son Jesus to die for our sins. Nevertheless, I started realizing last year that God's Love in Christ Jesus is much deeper than we think we know. As in, God, despite being Omnipotent and can do without us, is still chasing us about, trying to bring us to Himself so we can become sons and daughters of His, and live a blessed life. Jesus died for us when we don't deserve it. And while many people in the world today are running away from having an intimate relationship with Him, His Love keeps chasing them so they won't be destroyed. Then I learnt that, for a lifetime, I will have to keep learning and exploring the mystery of the Love of Christ.

2. That All Humans Are Meant To Have Dominion As Kings And Priests

Humans were created by the Creator to have dominion over creation. Unfortunately, we lost this when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But Jesus Christ came to restore the Authority we lost. We are meant to have dominion and exercise rulership. Hence, it is an abberation to be a slave to sin, sickness, poverty, satan, hell fire, and other negative things. The way to have true dominion is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God, which is what empowers us to rule as kings and priests. "And (Jesus Christ) have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" Revelation 5:10. This is your destiny - but it can only be a reality in Christ Jesus.


3. Biblical Principles Should Be Given Greater Priority Above All Other Opinions

If we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and have said in His word the Bible, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity. It doesn't matter your religion - mediate on the words of the Bible and live your life in accordance to biblical principles.

4. That Jesus Is More Than Sufficient

If you don't know anybody, but you know Jesus, it is more than enough. You don't need to have connections before you excel - once you know Jesus Christ, you won't be small. Hence, it is wisdom to have a relationship with Jesus Christ


5. That The Holy Spirit Is A Real Helper

I started seeing the Holy Spirit helping me in ways I haven't seen before, and He became real to me than before. The Holy Spirit enjoys helping us. Give Him a chance to help you.

God bless the new year for your sake as you cultivate an intimate relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Please, walk with God and serve Him in spirit and in truth this year. God bless you
