John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

You cannot make any man or woman to be faithful to you in marriage, business, politics, career, vocations or any endeavour of life.
If any man or woman is faithful to Jesus Christ Crucified, he/she will be faithful in any vocation or field of endeavour.
Faithfulness is a *fruit of the Holy Spirit*,
It is not *a practice/educational degree/slogan/declaration*
Great Grace!!!

Unless you become *a genuine born-again based upon the finished works of Jesus Christ* then the *New-Life (Christ Jesus; God and Man inseparable)* which has *now replaced* your old-self/flesh/human-will will *teach you(1 John 2:27)* what is the 'relationship' between the old covenant and new covenant (Salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified) even as He lives *a consistent life without sin in the secret of your thoughts, privacy of your lifestyle and your public engagements* even as trials, temptations, testing and problems *consistently surround all you do on this earth* till eternity through the same *mortal-body* that previously manifested sin. This is when He(the LIFE of Jesus Christ now living inside your mortal-body) will begin to reveal to you *all understanding* to the letters of the sacred scriptures (the whole Holy Bible; from Genesis 1:1---Revelation 22:21) according to the *spirit(reason why it testifies only about Jesus Christ as God and Lord; John 5:39)*.
Great Grace!!!

The Biblical authors repeatedly encouraged their readers to search the evidence to investigate the claims of Christianity (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 and 1 John 4:1) so they could be convinced of the truth of these claims (Romans 14:5, 2 Timothy 1:8-12 and 2 Timothy 3:14). This encouragement is consistent with the notion that the evidence will lead us to a rational conclusion about the nature of Jesus. In fact, Jesus also encouraged his followers to consider the evidence he provided about his deity (John 14:11 and Acts 1:2-3). Christian faith is not blind. Instead, the Christian faith encourages investigation related to Jesus and to the world around us. Christians ought to understand the distinctions between unreasonable, blind and reasonable faith:

Unreasonable Faith
Believing in something IN SPITE of the evidence. We hold an unreasonable faith when we refuse to accept or acknowledge evidence that exists, is easily accessible and clearly refutes what we believe

Blind Faith
Believing in something WITHOUT any evidence. We hold a blind faith when we accept something even though there is no evidence to support our beliefs. We don’t search for ANY evidence that either supports or refutes what we are determined to believe

Reasonable Faith
Believing in something BECAUSE of the evidence. We hold a reasonable faith when we believe in something because it is the most reasonable conclusion from the evidence that exists. The Bible repeatedly makes evidential claims. It offers eyewitness accounts of historical events that can be verified archeologically, prophetically and even scientifically. We, as Christians are called to hold a REASONABLE FAITH that is grounded in this evidence.

Walking in the steps of Jesus Christ Our Master and Example:
"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

2 Corinthians 5:14 "For *the love of Christ constraineth us*; because we thus judge, that *if one died for all, then were all dead*: 5:15 And that *he died for all*, that *they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again*. 5:16 Wherefore *henceforth know we no man after the flesh*: yea, though *we have known Christ after the flesh*, yet now henceforth know we him no more(in the flesh; someone who achieved tangible results of healing, miracles, wonderful teacher for human beings while he was on earth but much more as someone whose death and resurrection brought about the 100% salvation of our body, soul and spirit). 5:17 Therefore *if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature*: old things(old-self/flesh/human which produces self-righteousness, sins and appearances of sin) are passed away(dead/crucified/non-existent); behold, all things(the 'same mortal-body' which contained the old-self with all its self-righteousness, sins and sinful appearances)are become new(replaced/exchanged with a new self/flesh/human and God's-will(Jesus Christ) which can only produce 'righteousness pleasing to God' in this earth/world/generation amidst trials, temptations, tribulations, pleasures, afflictions e.t.c consistently till eternity). 5:18 And *all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ*, and hath *given to us the ministry of reconciliation*; 5:19 To wit, that *God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself*, not imputing(holding-unto/remembering) their trespasses(self-righteuosness, sins and sinful appearances of their old-self/flesh/human-will) unto them(genuine believers) and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when *he(Jesus Christ) cometh into the world*, he saith, *Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not(require of my focus on earth)*, but *a body hast thou prepared me(you gave me a human body for a singular focus)*: 10:6 In *burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure*. 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) *to do thy will, O God(to be pleasing to God is the singular focus why he gave me a human body). 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. *He taketh away the first(focus of the old-covenant; external practice of religion), that he may establish the second(focus of the new and eternal covenant; internal life of submission and obedience to the will of God which produces an external lifestyle devoid of pretence and hypocrisy). 10:10 By the which *will* we are *sanctified* through the *offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all*."

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

It is when Jesus Christ Crucified has become *born* inside your mortal-body then He will teach you personally His Gospel and Life making your mortal-body to grow from baby-Christian to youth-Christian to adult-Christian then He will reveal to you the endeavour (business, job, career, earthly engagements) and vocation (marriage, priesthood, sisterhood, celibacy) that He wants you to enter into on this earth. If it is marriage, He can bring a person of the same denomination or different denomination or a pagan or an unbeliever or any person at-all He decides who will receive *His Gospel LIFE now working inside you and become also a genuine Christian/born-again/Believer/Disciple of Jesus Christ*. He can choose to use you to bring the person into *converting first* then to baby-Christian then to youth-Christian then to adult-Christian before both of you will marry on a Christian altar*; all these will happen within years of courtship without sin in the hearts of both of you not to mention sin in your bodies (kissing, romancing, caressing, sucking, fingering, or any form of sexual activity/penetration) by the *grace of Jesus Christ Crucified now living inside both of you, controlling his emotions inside you and keeping you holy till the end (John 14:16, John 15:22, John 8:12, 1 Corinthians 1:8-9), if *any type of sin occurs in your hearts or bodies* then it is a clear sign that both of you are not *Christians yet* not to mention being *matured-christians* however intending partners *must discuss about sex and their sexual preferences/ideologies/beliefs during courtship so that you will know whether it aligns with sexual purity teachings of Jesus Christ* before you make the decision of accepting him/her as a marriage-spouse who you will spend the rest of your life with. The Holy Spirit can decide to use any of you who is a *matured-christian* to *convert the other person first* then grow him/her from *baby-Christian to youth-Christian* then *permit both of you to marry on a Christian-altar* such that after the marriage, He continues *the growth stage of that person unto 'matured-christian'*. All these is to help both of you not to *torment your mortal-body who is carrying Christ Jesus(God and Man) inside the person who is a genuine Christian* under the *name of marriage* because *every human being is designed to receive salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus* (John 3:16-18) but every human being is not designed for marriage (Matthew 19:12). So I advise you to *ask the Holy Spirit to help you become sincere in receiving salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus first* then when Jesus Christ Crucified enters into your mortal-body He will lead you into the endeavour and vocation he designed for you before the foundation of the world because Jesus Christ is God(Perfect Being/Spirit) He will not make *any mistake about your life* and *where you will spend eternity after you die will be surely heaven where Jesus Christ Crucified is currently now*. With or without *preaching* the new life of Jesus Christ Crucified now living inside your mortal-body while on earth will be *bringing other human being* who encounter you both in the private and public engagements/vocation of life to *believe the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified*. It is only the *Holy Spirit* that can *help you or any human being in this world* to be *sincere in believing the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified*.

Re: The Christian Chatbox ( sticky) by ochibuogwu5: 11:52am On Sep 13, 2019
Marriage, Vocations and Divorce:
Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving(except) for the cause of *fornication*, causeth her to commit *adultery*: and whosoever shall marry her that is *divorced committeth adultery*."
It is very important to note that *salvation in Christ Jesus by grace through faith* is *available for every human being* and it is the most important *choice/decision* every human being is *destined to make in this earth/world*
thus
"John 3:16 For God so loved the world(every human being), that he gave his only begotten Son, that *whosoever(any human being at any point in time or any geographical location)* believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 3:18 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."

However *marriage/vocation* is not for every human being
Thus
"Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs(human beings who cannot marry), which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

"1 Corinthians 7:6 But I speak this *by permission*, and *not of commandment*. 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself(Eunuch; unmarried-person). But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that."

It is therefore important to note that marriage or any other vocation (celibacy/eunuch whether lay-person, priest, pastor, ordained, religious-professed-brothers/sisters/monks/nuns e.t.c) is the *sole choice/decision* of the *New-Life of Jesus Christ Crucified* now *residing inside the mortal-body* of a *genuine Christian/born-again/believer/disciple of Jesus Christ* because Jesus Christ is God Our Creator who created us and formed us inside our mothers womb with a plan he had already prepared for us before the foundation of the world (Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah 29:11)

It is also possible that *the grace of God* can lead an unbeliever into a marriage or vocation with the *person or vocation* designed by *God's will from creation* for such a person without *receiving salvation first* because *God's grace is unmerited (it provides good things for every human being both the wicked and the righteous)*
Thus
"Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your *Father which is in heaven*: for *he* maketh *his sun to rise on the evil and on the good*, and *sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust*."
"Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of *the Highest(God)*: for *he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil*."

Hence those who entered into marriage or vocations before *genuine Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified* came to them *should not just split; flee from their vocations or separate from there marriage partner* rather allow *the New-Life of Jesus Christ Crucified now living inside them to lead them into his decision*
Which could be to *bless their marriage towards continuity on a Christian altar according to Jesus Christ teaching about marriage between one man and one woman* then other previous men/women can go ahead and get their own spouse or choose to remain unmarried while the children from those previous relationship will be *nurtured/supported adequately by the man and woman whose relationship brought them into the world (without having any sexual relationship again)* where *children came forth from such previous relationship*.

Those called towards vocations but were married by coercion/choice in there *old-self/flesh* before they received the sound Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified, He(Jesus Christ now dwelling inside your mortal-body) will lead to His choice of vocation through separation(physical separation or death) just like St. Rita of Cascia likewise for those designed to be married by God's-will but entered into vocations either by coercion/choice before they encountered the sound Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified, He will lead to the marriage He planned for them before the foundation of the world whether they are *officially separated/laicised from the oath/vows* they took with their *old-self/flesh* or not. The person who took the oath/vow under coercion or choice is dead(2 Cor.5:17) and new-being *Christ Jesus* is now living through their mortal-bodies (John 3:6 "what is born of the flesh is under the vows/oath of the flesh while what is born of the Spirit (Christ Jesus Crucified) is under the oath/vow of the Spirit {Freedom in Christ Jesus; John 8:36, Romans.8:1, Gal.5:1}). The best thing to do is *believe the sound Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified before entering into any marriage or vocations to avoid putting yourself and other people into stress* even though *without believing the gospel first*, God's grace can lead you into the marriage or vocation that agrees with *God's-will(original plan for your life in this world)*

Looking at Matthew 5:31-32; you will discover *a critical issue* treated by Jesus Christ.
A man or woman who is married but engages in sexual sins is *literally called an adulterer*
While any man or woman who engages in sexual sins without being married is *literally called a fornicator*
However Jesus said *a man or woman can 'put-away' his/her official spouse(with regards to those who believe in him or will believe in his gospel in the future)* because he was teaching the general crowd *following him* within the context of *his sermon on the mount*
It therefore means that Jesus Christ teaching here is referring to all those whether joined on the Christian altar or joined by themselves but they engage in sexual activities but they were not *approved by God's-will* as *fornicators because in the eyes of God they are not recognised as couple*.
This is also applicable for those in vocations and different endeavours of life on this earth.
You can only discover and enter into God's-will for any endeavour, vocation or marriage after you have believed the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified.
However after receiving the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified and you discover that you married the person God's-will has designed for you and you send him/her away then re-marry or the person re-marries such is what Jesus Christ tagged *adultery/Divorce*. This can only be *possible for an unbeliever* because if any man/woman hears the sound gospel and *believes*; the new life of Christ Jesus will manifest *reconciliation* without struggles.
This is same for those who are designed by God's-will towards vocations; if they run-away from their vocations with or without being laicised gets into marriage or any other endeavours by coercion, ambitiousness or choice; it is the same thing as *committing adultery/divorce* as defined by Jesus Christ however if they hear the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified and *believe*; the new-life of Jesus Christ now dwelling inside their mortal-bodies will lead them back to their vocations while breaking every protocol.
It is only those who are *objective in thinking(free minded thinker)* and those who have *believed the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified* that can be able to discern those who are in there *destined vocations, marriages and endeavours*.

This clarifies the truth that *some of those* we tag divorcee are not and *some of those* we tag they are under *curse for quitting a particular vocation are actually free not cursed* while *some of the people we extol/praise for being in the right marriage or vocation or endeavours* are actually in the *wrong-place* according to *God's will and original purpose*.

This calls for *eagerness, urgency, sincerity and committment* towards sharing, believing and allowing the LIFE OF THE SOUND GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED in this generation by every human being both in our private and public engagements.

We pray that the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified will reach out to those who are in the wrong endeavours, marriages and vocations of life as well as for the grace *that they may believe* as the New-Life of Jesus Christ leads them into His Divine-Will in Jesus Name. Amen.

We pray for grace upon those who will be separated from their loved ones in response to the sound gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified as the Holy Spirit comforts them in Jesus Name. Amen.

Saying You are a Christian yet publicly advertising for marriage partner on Social media platform:
It is good to seek a marriage partner through any media/platform yes the Holy Spirit can lead you to your marriage partner through the social media platform or other avenues however He will not lead you to be publicly advertising that you need a marriage partner.
If you are *a genuine born-again/Christian/Believer/Disciple of Jesus Christ*, someone who carries inside his *mortal-body* the *NEW-LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED (GOD AND MAN)* in exchange/replacement for your *dead/crucified flesh/self/human-will*, you will not be advertising for a marriage partner not minding what went wrong in your past life.
The new-life of Christ Jesus living inside you now because you have *sincerely and willingly believed the sound/unadulterated Gospel of Jesus Christ* after considering its cost(advantage; ETERNAL-LIFE and disadvantage DEATH OF THE OLD-SELF/FLESH) will grow you from baby-Christian to youth-Christian then to adult-Christian before He will lead you to any vocation (marriage, celibacy, singlehood; Matthew 19:12) and endeavours (business, profession, career, job, ideas; Jeremiah 29:11) he *originally planned for you from the foundation of the world*
Jesus Christ is *perfect God, perfect being, perfect Spirit, perfect Creator* who has already made plans for his creatures before he placed us inside our mothers womb(Jeremiah 1:5) if we only believe His Gospel willingly and sincerely.
Those who believe in Jesus Christ Crucified as God and Lord are not defined for a life of *trial and error* or *try your luck* or *submitting to motivational speeches* or *joining the moving worldly trend* or *accepting anything that each day/time/second/moment makes available*
He has *an already made plans for each human being in this world*(Eph.2:10) but this *already made plans is available only in believing the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified with all willingness and sincerity* because *the gospel is the only route/avenue he has decided to give salvation to every human being under heaven both the righteous and the unrighteous* (Romans 1:16, 1 Peter 3:18, Acts 4:10-12, John 3:16-18, John 14:6)

Re: The Christian Chatbox ( sticky) by ochibuogwu5: 11:42pm On Sep 14, 2019
If any human being is *sincere and willing* to *believe the sound/unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ*;
His/her old self/flesh/human-will which can produce *righteousness or unrighteousness is dead*
This our dead old-flesh/self/human-will is *replaced/exchanged* with a new life; Jesus Christ Crucified(God and Man inseparable) in the same *mortal-body* that used to contain or carry our old-self.
This new life of Jesus Christ which has human attributes and Godly attributes begins to live inside our mortal-bodies growing from baby-Christian to youth-Christian then to adult-Christian just like Jesus Christ when he was inside his own mortal-body from conception till ascension without sin while facing trials, temptations, pleasures and enjoyments of human living.
The only thing that Jesus Christ who is God and Man inside our mortal bodies can produce is *righteousness* because he did not produce any sin inside his heart or in his body while on earth hence it is not *our righteousness* but the righteousness of Jesus Christ (2 Cor.5:21) which we cannot boast about because it is an unmerited reality(work of God's grace) within us
hence anybody who is *genuinely saved/born-again/believer/Christian/Disciple of Jesus Christ will produce fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal.5:22-23) consistently without sin till the second coming of Jesus Christ or biological death*
but anybody still in the flesh will be producing the fruits of the flesh{Gal.5:19-21}
There is no human being that is permitted to produce these two different fruits
thus
"What is born of the flesh will produce fleshly fruits while what is born of the Spirit will produce fruits of the Holy Spirit"
(John 3:6)
"No one is able to serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and he will love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and he will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon." {Matthew 6:24}

The Holy Spirit has an already prepared path for each human being(Jeremiah 29:11 "For *I know the thoughts that I think toward you*, saith the Lord, *thoughts of peace*, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.",

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, *created in Christ Jesus unto good works*, which *God hath before ordained that we should walk in them*." )

whether in a good or bad governmental/country policies; He *surely* will produce his own positive results through us and enable us to use them to support the human society in which we live not minding the trials, temptations, difficulties, pleasures and distractions that will come our way because HE IS GOD no force/circumstances/policies can stop him from producing/manifesting righteous results in his creation thus "I am the God of all flesh(creation); is there anything impossible for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27 )

All we need to do is seek his mercy in order to receive grace to *willingly and sincerely believe the sound/unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified* because the gospel is the only route/means God has decided to use for releasing *total/complete freedom/salvation* to each human being

(Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of *the gospel of Christ*: for it is *the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth*; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.",

John 3:16-18 "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.",

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: *no man cometh unto the Father, but by me*.",

John 8:12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: *he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life*." ),
hence it is only through *using the grace of believing the gospel first* that we can ascertain *our already prepared path/purpose/location* in this world

(Titus 2:11-12 " 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, righteous, and Holy lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age/world/generation/Country" ).

Great Grace Brethren!!!

Wow; *do not try to manipulate or force the outcome of what you have submitted to God in prayers*; *grace for absolute trust in God's-will as our best outcomes/results/achievements* no matter the difficulties, challenges, hurts, stigmatizations, pains, temptations, enjoyments, pleasures and distractions we pray in Jesus Name. Amen. Great Grace!!!

TO READ: Luke 2:41-52

Raising an Adolescent

[Jesus’] parents didn’t know what to think. “Son!” his mother said to him. “Why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.” “But why did you need to search?” he asked. “You should have known that I would be in my Father’s house.” But they didn’t understand what he meant.Luke 2:48-50
James Dobson, a highly-regarded Christian psychologist and best-selling author on family matters, says, “I used to have four theories and no children. Now I have four children and no theories.” Many people have benefited greatly from Dr. Dobson’s advice on child rearing. But realistically speaking, raising adolescents is not like drawing a picture by joining the numbers—it is a matter of molding a person, of assisting in the development of a person of eternal worth. And every person is different.

We have very little information about the adolescent years of Jesus. But we do have the account of one telling incident that took place, which is full of great value to modern parents. The twelve-year-old Jesus had traveled from Galilee to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. At the conclusion of the festival, the great crowd of Galileans set out for home through the wilderness of Judea, down to Jericho, and up the Jordan valley. During the first day’s journey, Jesus’ parents assumed that he was with other friends or relatives among the travelers. It was only at the end of the day that they realized that he was not there. He was missing. So they retraced their steps to Jerusalem (a full day’s journey), hunted for him for three days, and eventually came across the boy. He was unperturbed, engaged in theological discussions with the teachers of the law. When they remonstrated with him, he calmly responded, “You should have known that I would be in my Father’s house” (Luke 2:49).

Not for the first time was it recorded that a pair of parents talking to their son “didn’t understand what he meant” (2:50)! The root of the problem was that the parents did not understand their son and the son had little perception of what was in the parents’ hearts. And that is at the root of many problems in raising adolescents.

They all returned to Nazareth, where “he . . . was obedient to them,” and Mary “stored all these things in her heart” (2:51). (We don’t know what Joseph did, though!) The boy was responsive to parental concerns, while the parent was reflective about the boy’s development.

The boy’s development took place in a balanced and God-honoring way. He “grew both in height and in wisdom, and he was loved by God and by all who knew him” (2:52). In other words, he developed physically, intellectually, spiritually, and socially. And no parent could ask for more than that.

It is without doubt that this should be the parents’ goal. How it is achieved will vary from child to child. But in every case, children need to be responsive, and parents need to be reflective. Imperfect parents never raise perfect kids. But mature parents give their children monumental advantages.

May be you do not know that you have left the gospel of Salvation in Christ Jesus Crucified then gone ahead to preach *racism, language-preference, nomenclature-consciousness and division* among the body of Christ upon earth, May the Holy Spirit help your group to come out of this error before it is too late in Jesus Name. Amen.

One day your heart will stop beating and none of your fears and future plans will matter.
All that will matter is how you lived!
Did you live for Jesus Christ?
Did you live for something else?
Was Jesus Christ Crucified your Saviour and Lord?
Did you know Jesus Christ Crucified personally?

Flesh in the Church:
You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. (Hebrews 3:13 NLT)

We talk about our motives, and we say, "Our motive was right!" We talk about our conscientiousness, we talk about our intentions; but you and I do not know what lies behind what we call our good motives. There is a deceitfulness about this human heart that defies our greatest attempt at tracking it down, and we shall never do it.... Here is where the church has become such a confused thing, and such a tragedy; for the prevailing idea is that if you give yourself over to God He will take you up and use you: "Bring over your humanity and consecrate it to the Lord! Consecrate your old man to the Lord, and go out and serve the Lord, with a consecrated old man!" it is utterly contrary to the teaching of God’s Word. The result is that in the work of God all the world over you have people serving the Lord in the energy of the flesh, in the reasoning of the flesh, in the emotions of the flesh. Meet them, counter them, frustrate them, and you meet something evil; you meet with a fight, a division, a schism, a scattering, and wholesale resignations.

Do you see what a havoc the enemy can make in that which is called the church, because people with best intentions and purest motives have come to serve the Lord with all their own intelligence, their own strength, and their own emotion? They have not seen that God has closed the door to the old creation, and that God’s attitude is this: "The only thing that can satisfy Me, that can serve Me is My Son, and if you are going to come into My service, He has to be the energy of everything, the Life of everything, the Wisdom of everything!" He has to be the governing, ruling reality in everything. It is not to be a matter of your impulses, but of His urgings and leadings by the Holy Spirit; not your sitting down to reason out what it would be good to do for the Lord, what ought to be done, what needs to be done, but what He shows you, nothing more.... You and I must not bring over our old creation and give it to God, expecting God to use it. God begins with birth. The church of the firstborn is something quite new, and it comes out of a death. That death is the death of an old creation, and the resurrection is of something that is not the resuscitation of an old creation, but the resurrection of something wholly of God.
.......By Ichuka.......
Gen6:3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed !FLESH!!yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
"Then the Lord said, “ *My Spirit will not put up with humans* for such a long time, *for they are only mortal flesh*. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”(Genesis 6:3 NLT)

We must submit our flesh(human-will not our skin) to Jesus Christ to be Crucified together with His own flesh on the cross of Calvary.

"Galatians 2:20 *I am crucified with Christ*: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh(mortal-body) I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."

"And *all those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah)* have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires." (Gal.5:24)

"I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, *Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies*, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. *But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest*. Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no regard for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever and ever.]" (John 12:24-25)

"Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God. “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God. *Humans can reproduce only human life*, but the *Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life*." (John 3:3-6)

And when Jesus was baptized, He went up at once out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he [John] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him. and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, *in whom I am well-pleased... listen to Him*.” (Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 17:5)

"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! For *his Spirit joins with our spirit* to affirm that *we are God’s children*." (Romans 8:14-16)

"And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]." (Luke 9:23 amp)

"Now huge crowds were going along with [Jesus], and He turned and said to them, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters—[yes] and even his own life also—he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not persevere and carry his own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a farm building, does not first sit down and calculate the cost [to see] whether he has sufficient means to finish it? Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to complete [the building], all who see it will begin to mock and jeer at him, Saying, This man began to build and was not able (worth enough) to finish. Or what king, going out to engage in conflict with another king, will not first sit down and consider and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand [men] to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if he cannot [do so], when the other king is still a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks the terms of peace. So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) *all that he has cannot be My disciple*." (Luke 14:25-33 amp)

"Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit. Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot. So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die(biological death) because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God."
(Romans 8:1-10)

"Then *you will seek Me*, inquire for, and require Me *[as a vital necessity]* and find Me *when you search for Me with all your heart*" (Jeremiah 29:13)

"And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
(Luke 10:27)

"I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]."
(John 13:34-35 amp)

"Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him]. For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]."
(Hebrews 4:14-16 amp)

Members of the public are strongly advised to take note of the following.

1. For your own good, whenever law enforcement agents ( whether in uniform or not) stop a vehicle you boarded, stay calm, avoid hissing and grumbling. Whether you are a man or a woman,
respect them.

2. Please take the receipts of your electronic equipment, laptop or other bulk gadgets (original or photocopy), anywhere you go if you must carry them.

3. If you don't have means of identification from your school or workplace, get at least a national ID card or driver's licence. It is crucial.

4. Delete all your bank alerts, and transfer sensitive information into a flash drive or memory card. Keep your financial transactions away from your phone.

5. Carrying more than one ATM card may bring serious problem for you in our present-day Nigeria : be warned !!!

6. If you must move at night no matter how close to your house, take your ID card and let someone go with you.

7. Dress responsibly - it will save you. Looking rugged and wild may earn you serious trouble.

8. If you are given a vehicle to go for an errand, make sure all documents are complete and up- to- date. Also, your driver's licence must be complete before you hit the road.

9. When your car is being searched, don't just look away in anger ; they are doing their job. Just
pay close attention to what's going on, to avoid "had I known".

10. If you are not sure of what someone is carrying in a bag, pack, or sack, please ask politely before accepting to give the person a ride. You may be arrested for what you know nothing about.

11. After any stranger you decide to give a lift comes down, move forward a little, park and search your vehicle very well before you continue so as to avoid harbouring any incriminating objects left behind.

12. It is mandatorily necessary you dont keep this message to yourself alone...

* FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED !!!*

Marriage, Separation and Divorce 2:
Getting married to a wrong partner; does it actually have anything to do with the prayer point that you raised here(God please forgive us for making the wrong-person and allow us to continue leaving together)?
The woman that got married to 5-wrong husband when she met Jesus Christ separated and ended all those marriage by saying "I have no husband" and Jesus Christ confirmed it thus "Yes, you have been married to 5-husbands legally and even the one you are staying with now is not your husband" (John 4:16-18)
Honestly *through grace* without being a genuine Christian/born-again/believer/disciple of Jesus Christ Crucified, *some people got married to the person that God designed for them* then when they *believed genuinely in Christ Jesus Crucified* they will discover that God's grace helped them to *align to His Divine-Will for them in terms of getting married to their God-ordained life partners*
While so many others both wedded on the Christian altar or practicing co-habitation yet claiming to be Christians/born-again/believers/disciples of Jesus Christ are not even designed by God to be married at-all (Matthew 19:12) while so many others are tied together with the *wrong-person* under marriage by their pastor or priest on the altar or they tied themselves together through co-habitation because they are not genuine heirs of God and co-heirs with Jesus Christ yet thus they cannot know God's will for their life and cannot please the Father thus "this is my beloved Son in whom I am *well-pleased*...listen to him* (Matthew 3:16, Matthew 17:5)
It is when such person becomes genuine born-again that they will discover whether God designed them for marriage vocation or not thus "I *alone* know the plans that *I have for you*, plans of *good* not of evil, to *give you a future with expected end*" (Jeremiah 29:11)
If you read Matthew 5:31-32 and Mark 10 that you quoted about Jesus Christ teaching on separation and divorce, you will discover he used fornication and adultery distinctly.
"...Except on the *case of fornication (infidelity)*, a man should *put-away* his wife"
Fornication is all sexual sin committed by those that are not married
While
Adultery is all sexual sin committed by those who are married
Thus He was referring to any man and woman who are not *approved married in the eyes of God's-will* as committing *fornication/infidelity in the eyes of God* hence they *must separate* if they *become genuine born-again whether legally married on any Christian altar or joined themselves through *only traditional marriage-spouse or only bride-prize or mere co-habitation*. Whether Children is involved in that *fornication/infidelity to God or not*; both of them will make *adequate provision and support for the children to achieve God's will for their life*, killing/aborting the children is not permitted or frustrating the children's growth is not permitted because the *parents are the ones that sinned* hence the children should not *suffer for the sins of their parents*
(Ezekiel 18:20)
Those who are *genuinely approved by God for marriage and are married to their God-ordained partner* but yet *put-away* their spouse no matter what their spouse did are guilty of divorce, anybody who gets married to such separated spouses are guilty of adultery. No matter what your spouse does to you *forgiveness/love of Christ Jesus Crucified excuses such a person* just like Hosea did towards his *harlot wife Gomah* to define how God's forgiveness is *unbroken towards Isreal/his children* (Hosea 1:2-17) hence Malachi 2:15, God hates Divorce. Peter defined in 1 Peter 3:1-8 and Paul defined in 1 Cor. 7:14-17 that through marriage forgiveness and love such a spouse will be drawn unto conversion in the Lord Jesus Christ however if those who are ordained by God should separate especially in the cases of *threat to life/domestic-violence/beating/fighting* let them remain *unmarried* or *reconcile later* (1 Cor.7:10-11)
If you are married to *an unbeliever* and the person is pleased to dwell with you *do not send the person away rather let the *believing LIFE of the genuine born-again/Christian/believer/disciple of Jesus Christ Crucified lead such a spouse unto Christ Jesus* (1 Cor.7:12-14) however if the *unbelieving partner quits the marriage*, the believer is not under any bondage of not *getting married again* (1 Cor.7 :15) thus the *believer is free to enter into another marriage through the leading of the Holy Spirit*
The teachings of Jesus Christ, the epistles and the whole bible is clear about marriage issues hence this truth should be adequately/rightly divided for the body of Christ such that people who should separate will do so without *leaving in fear/bondage that they are disobeying God's word* or *being called a divorcee* even those who are not called to become *celibates/priest/deacons/pastors* will come out of such bondage and receive freedom in Christ Jesus Crucified and those who are planning to enter into Christian marriage will be *sound in what they are planning to involve themselves into*.
If this truth is not rightly divided for the people of God under the Holy Spirit guidance there will be more geometric increase in *divorce cases among those who claim to be Christians* and *fake priests/pastors/deacons/celibates* hence chaos within the household/assembly of believers.
God does not manage what he did not ordain rather He separates them either physically or through biological thus being a born-again will connect you to God's-will for your life on earth and heavenly-ecstasy after biological death while disbelieving the gospel will make you to live unfulfilled/miserable life on this earth even untimely death and eternal death after leaving in this world (John 3:16-18).

Sure, the Holy Ghost, is the initiator of our lives and purposes, he is the sustainer/manifestor and the finisher of all that concerns us. We just need to keep seeking his grace to *submit willingly to his plans and movements inside us as well as on our behalf*. Great Grace Brethren!!!
