Lukuluku69:
And take this your Salvation story to those of your folks your Christ said he will deny on Judgement Day.

Those who would have prophesied in his name, do many wonderful works in his name yet, he will deny them besides, I am not from Israel nor am I of the Lost sheep. So, safe some Saliva

You are not getting it. Everyone will stand before Jesus to be judged. You can't escape him.

So, don't take this risk please.

He is knocking at the door of your heart.

It will be a fearful judgment on that day.

The choice is yours.

Lukuluku69:
Oga, these verses you quoted above, were they the actual words of Jesus or someone talking about him?

John 3:16 ought to have been " For Yahweh sent Me into the world, that whosoever believe in Me, would not perish..... But what we have is someone saying stuff about Jesus just like you people have been peddling untruths about him.

The words of our Lord Jesus were written down by four witnesses - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And all the witnesses agree to the fact that Jesus is the Messiah.

You were not there. So, you don't make assumptions on what any verse is supposed to read.

If you think the original text has been altered, you can only prove it by showing us the original text. If you don't have any proof, you had better believe the evidences of the available witnesses.


Don't joke with your salvation. Once you are in hell, you are doomed for life. And I don't think you will love to wail and cry for the rest of your life.

So, please, accept the free gift of salvation which is in Christ. You will not regret it. The transformation is instant. The new life Jesus gives is real.

A soul is that aspect of you that controls every aspect of you. It is your operating system and stores all the coded information that controls your life. It has the information of when you were born and when you will die as well as all the information of what you would become and who you would marry. And as such it is your operating system that controls your flesh. It is that part of you that exists in another dimension outside and within your flesh . Understand that your flesh is just useless meat of dnA information used to recreate the meat but what brings it all alive is the soul which is electromagnetic energy of information aka your operating system. NOW WHAT IS SPI-RIT ? spi(96)wreath, a spirit is a name that describes one of the actions of the soul. The name SPI-RIT means to DESTROY THE DEAD and so your spirit is that aspect of your soul that is programmed to destroy you because of programmed karma information in your soul. The spirit is like the EXECUTIONER that is in charge of destroying your body. Like all the coded informations of destruction are in the spirit. Like when you get cancers and all kinds of crazy diseases it is the spirit that alters the dna to bring out all these disease states . and so in summary the soul is the operating system while the spirit is that part of the operating system that executes you from within

Excerpt from my book, 'The Total Man.

Chapter 5 - The Differences between the Spirit and Soul.

We will use this chapter to point out the major differences between the spirit of man and the soul of man even though we have mentioned most of them in chapters two and three of this book.

Before we begin to point out the basic differences between both, let’s look at their similarities first;

1. Both The Spirit and Soul Are Eternal.

They live on after death. Though our Lord Jesus talks about the destruction of the soul. It is said in the context of the torment the soul will encounter in hell and in the Lake of fire. It doesn’t mean that the soul will cease to exist.
After death, the memory of life lived on earth will still be there because the soul is still alive. This is what happened to the rich man. He still remembered everything that happened on earth. He knew he had members of his family that were still alive on earth;

“Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: FOR I HAVE FIVE BRETHREN; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.” (Luke 16:27-28).

2. The Spirit and The Soul Have Wills but They Are in Conflict If the Soul Is Not Saved.

The soul will always want take decision based on logical reasoning but the spirit follows the leading of the Holy Spirit in accordance to God’s word.

3. They Both Have the Capacity to Store Information.

But information stored in the soul through the mind is volatile but that stored in the heart is permanent.

4. They Both Expresses Emotions.

But the spirit expresses only positive emotions as it is created in the image and likeness of God. The soul expresses both positive and negative emotions.

5. They Both Have the Ability to Understand Things.

But the soul only understands carnal things while the spirit understands all things.

Basic Differences Between the Spirit and The Soul of a Man.

1. It Is with Our Spirit That We Make Contact with The Spirit Realm but Our Souls Make Contact with The Intellectual Realm.

The spirit through visions and trances can see into the realm of the spirit. But the souls do not. It is with your soul you are able to acquire knowledge in schools and through personal study.

2. God Leads Us Primarily Through Our Spirits and Not Through Our Souls. Thus the scripture says;

“The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” (Proverbs 20:27).

This is why it is important to always listen to your heart and not your head or reasoning when making major decisions.

3. It Is the Spirit That Got Saved at New Birth. The soul of the new creation did not get saved. It is our responsibility to save our souls through the process we discussed in the previous chapter.

4. It Is with Our Spirit That We Pray in Other Tongues. Our soul has nothing to do with it unless the interpretation is given. Hence Paul wrote;

“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, MY SPIRIT PRAYETH, but my understanding (mind) is unfruitful.” (1 Corinthians 14:14).

5. It Is Your Spirit That Gives Life to Your Body and Not the Soul. Just as James wrote;

“FOR AS THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, so faith without works is dead also.” (James 2:26).

The madman whose mind is uncoordinated still lives on even in his mentally unstable condition.

6. Your Spirit Can Know Things Supernaturally Through the Operation of the Gifts of the Spirit but The Soul Can Only Acquire Knowledge Through Diligent Study.

During the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus, he revealed to the woman of Samaria her past marital life (John4:17-18). This could only be possible through the operation of the gift of the Holy Spirit working through his spirit. The soul has nothing to do with it.

7. It Is with Your Spirit That You Understand the Things of the Spirit. The soul doesn’t understand spiritual things unless it is renewed in the word of God.

This is why the people of the world whose spirits are dead cannot find God with their souls. It takes the preaching of the gospel to save them. And even at that, so many still don’t believe the gospel because it sounds foolish to them. Hence Paul wrote;

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18).

8. The Voice of the Spirit Is Called the Conscience While the Voice of the Soul Is Reasoning.

The soul through the mind always try to figure things out before making vital decisions.

When A Believer Dies, The Spirit and His Soul Which Is Part of His Being Goes to Heaven. But The Soul of the Lost Goes to Hell. The Bible hardly speaks of the spirit of the lost because their spirit man is dead.

9. Divine Wisdom Resides in The Spirit but Worldly Wisdom Resides in The Soul. This is why Apostle Paul wrote;

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” (1 Corinthians 2:5-7).

10. The Inspiration for Creativity Comes from The Spirit but The Soul Through the Power of Imagination and Proven Laws Brings Every Dream to Fruition.

The scripture says;

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” (Job 32:cool.

This explains why major inventions on earth today are linked to the Jews who were the people chosen by God. Whatever you see today that appears like new inventions are built on existing knowledge discovered by scientist years back.

The Spirit and Soul are different in many ways. Details shortly.

jammyunn:
I've read some articles on salvation and some biblical verses do suggest that we may while some also suggest we can't. What do you think guys? I need good bible students here.

Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

There are too many scriptures that warns believers to be careful how they live their Christian life less they miss it.

Eternal security is a message from the pit of hell.

If there is eternal security, the letters Jesus wrote to the seven churches in Asia Minor will be meaningless.

AntiChristian:
This is folly at its highest!
Jesus met thousands of people while on Earth but he never for once tell anyone to surrender his/her life to him!
To you be your invented way away from Jesus!
And to me be my way of Islamic Monotheism!

Jesus asked people to believe in him. And that is exactly what I am doing.

John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Note verse 18 says that anyone who does not believe is condemned already.

Do you prefer to remain in condemnation when you can be free?

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 14 (Opening of the Second Seal).

"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."(Revelation 6:3-4).

The opening of the second seal revealed a red horse and the rider was empowered to take peace from the earth and brought conflicts amongst nations that resulted in wars and great loss of lives.

This prophecy was fulfilled from the period of the first world war through to the second world war and other wars that took place in several nations across the world. Memory will not fail us to recall the Civil War that took place in Nigeria also.

Our Lord also predicted these wars during his earthly ministry. He said on the occasion he spoke about the events of the last days; "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."(Matthew 24:6-7).

Till date, there are still wars that are being fought in quite a few nations but cannot be compared with the devastations that World War 1 and 2 caused. Wars cannot cease in this present earth as the world cannot enjoy peace after rejecting the Prince of peace who is Jesus.

But in the midst of these wars, God is able to preserve the saints especially those who have a special mission on earth that must be accomplished. The relative peace we are having presently on earth is because of the presence of the church. And any moment from now, faithful saints will be raptured. Ensure you keep your garments clean, walk in love towards the brethren and stay committed to your responsibility so that you will be counted worthy to go with the Lord when he comes.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank for your mercy and grace that has kept me thus far. I commit my day into your hands trusting that only your counsel concerning me shall stand. Connect me with my destiny helpers and deliver me from wicked and unreasonable people in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: Luke 21:9-11, 2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4.

AntiChristian:
Yes, except if Jesus is not related to God of the new testament in your Bible.
All Prophets are sent from God and many did kill on his behalf.


Christianity doesn't even exist in the Bible as a word!


Jesus didn't have warriors! One of the disciples tried it but Jesus stopped him.
His life was short-live. So he will still come back to fight the real fight!

Since God get sword, why won't the son have one?

Is this what God uses his sword for?



Jesus sabi heal unbelievers than believers in the Bible! So he's the prince of peace whom we are made to believe he is unlike his father!


Nothing concerns you with my affair with others!

I admonish you to surrender your life to Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. There is no salvation in any other apart from Jesus.

All these arguments means nothing when you will still land in the pit of hell. But Jesus died for you so you don't need to go there. The choice is yours.

Watch out for their logical and factual ANSWERS. I bet it will blow you to the moon.

Guess how none of them can refute nor counter it

What is most shocking to me is for most of them to know that they are heading in the wrong direction and still can't make a u-turn to rescue their souls.

INTERMAN:
The two statements according to people that was mostly condemned in the above passage includes "No need to pray over or break generational
curses,you have been translated into the kingdom
of God"
"Forgiveness of sins isn't by begging ,it's the
riches of His grace .
God doesn't keep record of it .HE HAS CLEANSED
YOUR SINS ETERNALLY" ---Eternal security.

Kumuyi should be watchful. The last few years in a man's ministry is the most tempting years.

Eternal security is a doctrine from the pit of hell.

If eternal security is scriptural, our Lord Jesus would not have written the letters he did to the seven churches in Asia Minor.

AntiChristian:
Luke 22:36-38

It is very funny as well as pathetic the way Christians tend to twist the bible and end up giving themselves headache. according to the gospel of Luke 22:36-38;
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Jesus ordered his disciples to sell their garments if they have no sword, the sword were later presented to him. Different christian with different holy spirit give the verses different interpretations. Many claim the sword as used in those verses does not mean a literal sword but a word of God.

Funny enough, a disciple of Jesus cut off one of the soldiers ear with a sword...erhm erhm, no, with a word of God. You may wonder how a word of God is sharp enough to cut off someone's ear except it is a sword in actual sense. The disciples had words at the command of Jesus who was making defensive plans against his enemies. There is no way Peter could have held a sword without Jesus knowing, he must have at a point in time seen him with it. It may baffle someone as to why Jesus cautioned Paul that anyone who kills by the sword shall be killed by the sword. This gets more interesting, was Jesus saying anyone who kills with word of God shall die by word of God?

Jesus was a good planner and strategist as we can see how he refused to walk in Judea to avoid being killed to his prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. The disciples had few swords, Jesus, seeing how armed and dangerous the Roman soldiers looked like, he knew few swords would do nothing. So, to be on a safer side, he needs caution peter.

One can imagine the confused look peter might have worn. He would be like, 'if anyone who kills by sword shall die by sword, why ask us to get swords?

They accuse Muslims of twisting their scriptures when in reality, they are the twisters.

By Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman
http://knowislam.com.ng/luke-2236-38-by-bashir-lucas.../

Did any of the disciple of Jesus kill anyone with sword?

Did they force Christianity on anyone with sword?

Did they even attempt to defend themselves with sword when they were arrested and some martyred?

Swords are for many purposes.

You can defend yourself against an attack from wild animals with swords.

If Jesus wanted his disciples to fight back with swords, he won't heal the man whose ear was cut off with Peter's sword.

Go and defend yourself in a post that is trending by TenQ.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 13 (Opening of the First Seal).

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.And I saw, and behold A WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."(Revelation 6:1-2).

The sixth chapter of the book of Revelation begins the unveiling of the events of the future through the opening of the seals one after the other. When the first seal was opened, John saw a white horse and on the horse is a rider with a bow and a crown given to him. And he had successive victories.

Who is the rider on that horse? And what does the colour white signifies in this context? Some Bible scholar says that the rider is Jesus himself. This can't be true because Jesus doesn't use a bow in warfare. A bow is a physical or carnal weapon and the scripture says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

Jesus and his white horse is unveiled in the nineteenth chapter of the book of Revelation. And he makes war with a two edged sword in his mouth, not with a bow.

Quite a few other Bible scholars says the white horse represents the early church. This isn't also true. The church doesn't spread by physical war. We persuade men to receive the gospel through preaching and never by coercion.

There is also the assertion that it refers to the anti Christ. This is also far from the truth. This white horse rider has just a crown symbolic of one empire or a nation. The anti Christ will have ten crowns as the territory he will rule from will be a confederation of ten European countries - Revelation 13:1.

What then does it represent? The white horse rider represents the spiritual power behind the Roman emperors who beginning from the first century conquered most part of Europe, North Africa and near East. The Roman Empire generally experienced a period of prosperity and dominance in this period and the first century is remembered as part of the Empire's golden age. The white could be symbolic of the relative peace, prosperity and stability enjoyed during this period.

This event has already been fulfilled as Roman Empire already collapsed. Tomorrow, we will continue with the opening of the second seal. Make up your mind to serve the Lord without distraction as every single events in the book of Revelation will be fulfilled.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, you are worthy to be praised and adore. And I thank you for your goodness and faithfulness towards me and my family. You rule and reign in the affairs of men. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven in accordance to your predetermined plans in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Praxtech:
It's over

Section 299(1) of the Constitution provides that the provisions of the Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory as if it were one of the states of the Federation. It means that the FCT is the 37th state.

So section 134 of the Constitution which provides that “not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in EACH of at least two-thirds of ALL THE STATES AND the FCT” means 25 states or 24 states plus the FCT. Winning the FCT by a candidate is not compulsory.

There is a marked difference between treating FCT as if it's one of the states and calling it the 37th state.

It's like saying that treating female children in a family as if they were male to have the same rights and privileges does not make them males.

If FCT is the 37th state, then it should have a Governor and the same settings as other states.

The constitution should have read that votes must be secured in at least two third of all the 37 states.

Then, our children in schools should be told that we now have 37 states. It should also have its capital.

APC using lies to defend their theft. I will defeat the best of lawyers on this even though I am not a lawyer.

It's only in Nigeria we celebrate criminals and enthrone mediocrity.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 12 (Unveiling of a Book With Seven Seals).

"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals." (Revelation 5:1).

In the fifth chapter of the book of Revelation, John saw a book on the right hand of God seated on the throne sealed with seven seals. Narrating his vision, John wrote; "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon." (Revelation 5:2-3).

John wept bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. However, one of the elders said; "... Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." (Revelation 5:5).

John saw Jesus as a lamb that appeared to have been slained having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne - Revelation 5:7.

When he did this, the four living creatures and twenty four elders fell down and worshipped the lamb and God that is seated on the throne with few songs of worship. The opening of the book with seven seals unveils the events of the future beginning from the days of the early church to the revelation of God's vengeance on the wicked people of this world and reward for the faithful saints.

Tomorrow, we will begin to look at these events some of which are already fulfilled. We will also know where we are in the time line of events as unveiled in the book with seven seals. Meanwhile, serve God continually with reverence and fear so that you will be counted worthy to escape the wrath of God.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for keeping the night watch for me and the opportunity to witness a glorious new day. I thank you also for unveiling the events of the future to us as contained in the book of Revelation. I ask for your grace to stay focus in my service towards you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 11 (Vision of The Throne, The 24 Elders and The Four Living Creatures).

"And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald." (Revelation 4:2-3).

Chapter Four of the book of Revelation began unveiling the events of the future most of which are written in chronological order. According to John what is revealed to him are things which must be hereafter - Revelation 4:1.

John saw one who sat on the throne who is obviously God. And the only way he could describe him is by using precious stones because of his glorious appearance. God himself is invisible but his glory can be seen. If you want to see God in visible form, look at Jesus. He is the express image of the invisible God.

John continued his narration saying; "And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold." (Revelation 4:4). The identity of the 24 Elders were not revealed but they are most likely going to be great heroes of faith both from the Old and New Testament Saints. They had crowns of gold on their heads. Remember that Apostle Paul boldly said that he has a crown reserved for him on that day - 2nd Timothy 4:8. He probably will be among the 24 Elders.

In addition, John said; "And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."(Revelation 4:6-7).

The four beast which is translated four living creatures in some versions are symbolic representions of the church in different ages. This was revealed in Revelation 5:9 which reads; "And they (the four beasts) sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, AND HAST REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation."

The verse above says that they are the redeemed of the Lord. The first beast was like a lion which represents the early church. The second beast was like a calf and its symbolic of the church during the dark age when idolatry was common in the church setting. The third was like a mere man. This is symbolic of the church during the reformation age but devoid of the power of the Holy Spirit. The last beast is likened to an eagle. This is the the present day church that will witness the rapture of the church.

We will all one day stand before the throne of God to worship and adore him. So, be ready for the coming of the Lord. Just as it is written; "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."(1st Thessalonians 4:16-17).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I give you glory, praise and honour. Besides you, there is no other God. I thank you for unveiling the event of the future to us so we will understand the mysteries of your plans and not perish with the world. I ask for grace to serve you faithfully to the end so I will be counted worthy to partake of the heavenly kingdom in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: Revelation 4:9-11, 1st Corinthians 15:51-54.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 10 (Letters to The Seven Churches in Asia Minor).

"And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God." (Revelation 3:14).

The last letter our Lord Jesus wrote to the seven churches in Asia Minor was written to the church of the Laodiceans. And just like the other six letters, the first thing our Lord Jesus Christ addressed was their works. Thus, he said; "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot." (Revelation 3:15). The state of this church was about the worst state compared with the other six churches. Our Lord Jesus said they were neither cold nor hot. And he wished they were in either state.

To be cold means someone who hasn't responded to the gospel. It refers to the sinners or lost souls. To be hot means to be ablaze for Jesus. It means to serve God with zeal or enthusiasm. But he couldn't place the church in either of these categories. Rather, he said that they were lukewarm.

Hence, he warned; "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:16). Ironically, this is the state of a large percentage of the present day church. Just like Jesus warned the church of the Laodiceans, he is sending the same warning to us today. Lukewarmness makes you a misfit for the kingdom of heaven. Lukewarm Christians always go to church late and they are hardly in every church service. They also seldom participate in soul winning activities. Repent quickly if you fall into this category.

This church boasted in its riches and wealth but the Lord said that they were wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked - Revelation 3:17. He concluded the letter thus; "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: BE ZEALOUS THEREFORE, AND REPENT. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."(Revelation 3:19-22).

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for the salvation of my soul. I appreciate the opportunity given to me to serve. Have mercy on me in any way I have displayed an attitude of lukewarmness. I receive fresh grace to serve you with zeal for the rest of my life in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Pay your tithe first.

Pray about it and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

If your two wives can't show you the way of salvation, then they are also not saved.

Your entire family needs Jesus.

He is the only way to the Father.

Sunday, April 9th.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 9 (Letters to The Seven Churches in Asia Minor).

"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth."(Revelation 3:7).

Happy Easter celebration to all fans and readers of this devotional study. I declare this day that as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus from the dead, you will rise above your challenges and be celebrated also in the mighty name of Jesus.

Today, we will look at the sixth letter which was written to the church in Philadelphia. The introductory verse said that Jesus has the key of David. A key is an object that opens and closes a door thereby giving or denying you access to a room. God had promised David that he would raise up a son from his lineage to sit on his throne forever. And that Son is Jesus. So, Jesus is the only one giving the exclusive right to sit eternally on the throne of David. Thus, he has the key of David that grants him access to the throne of David.

A key is also a symbol of authority. And when He opens with the key, no one can shut and when he shuts, no one can open. Hence, he told the church in Philadelphia; " I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." (Revelation 3:10).

He also closed the door against temptation that was ordained to affect the whole world - Revelation 3:10. In addition, He promised to come back quickly and as such, admonished them to hold fast to what they have so that no one takes their crown - Revelation 3:11.

In conclusion he wrote; "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."(Revelation 3:12-13).

So, ensure you run the race to the end. Trials and temptations will come but God will certainly give you the victory over them all. Jesus is coming back soon. May he find you doing his will faithfully when he returns so that you will be counted worthy to receive the crown prepared for you at his coming.

Prayer:Glorious Father, I give you thanks for your faithfulness You are worthy to be praised and adored. I declare that doors of opportunities are opened for me in the mighty name of Jesus. No one will take my crown in the name of Jesus. Give me the grace to overcome every temptation and run the race to the end in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

"Where did Jesus go after He died on the cross?"

Some theologians believe that during the three days between Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, He descended into Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:19-31).

Jesus want to hell and was held temporarily captive by the devil because he went there as a sinner who took our place.

But he afterwards threw off the powers holding him and defeated Satan in his very domain.

He also crossed over to Abraham's bosom and released the saints therein. They all rose from the grave after his resurrection and went with Jesus to heaven.
