Remember?

Life Is Short

"It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14)

Death Is Sure

"It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement" (Hebrews 9:27)

Sin The Cause

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death spread to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12) 

Christ The Cure

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)

"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3 - 4)

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8 - 9)

If you confess with all your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation" (Romans 10:9 - 10)

"Repent therefore and be concerted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19)

"For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)

Be Thankful (Poetry)

I was on twitter last night and I stumbled upon this poem posted by a friend, and I felt the urge to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know everything,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

Your Destiny Depends On ...

... your relationship with Jesus Christ!

His death on the cross is recorded in the Bible. At His death, a Roman soldier said, "Truly this was the Son of God" (Matthew 27:54 NKJV)

But the world did not accept Jesus. They liked His miracles, but they hated what He was: the Light, the Truth, and the living expression of God Himself (John 1:1 - 14).

First secretly, then openly they declared, "Away with Him! Crucify Him" (John 19:15). Wrapped in darkness and warped by sin, me plotted to kill the Son of God - to put out the Light, to silence the Truth.

But in death, Christ was more victorious than ever, because He paid the penalty for our sins: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). The darkness could not overcome the Light! Unbelief could overcome the Truth!

Rejecting Christ brings eternal death; receiving Christ brings eternal life: "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him" (John 3:36; also 1:11 - 12).

Your eternal destiny depends on how you respond to Christ. Will you receive Him or reject Him?

Roll Away The Stone

In John 11:1 - 44, the wonders of God manifested in the life of a man the world had given up on. The man, Lazarus, was dead for four days before Jesus came to raise him up. When Jesus got to Lazarus' grave, He commanded that the stone be rolled away, after which He called Lazarus to come forth, and the grave could no longer hold him captive.

The stone represents the hindrances to the potentials of a person. It represents limitation to progress, joy, captive, growth, abundance and many other good things. We are however glad to inform you that, the same Jesus who commanded the stone to be taken away at Lazarus' grave, is ready to liberate you because He is not only alive, He changes not. Hebrews 13:8 says "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

He is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). He is manifested to destroy the works of the devil (sadness, frustration, pain, lack and many terrible things) in your life (Acts 10:38). He has come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). What is that stubborn stone hindering your joy? With Jesus Christ, it shall be rolled away. You however need to seek His help to roll it away by inviting Him into your life as Lord and Saviour.

In John 14:6, He boldly declared that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and that no one goes through the father without passing through Him. He has paid the penalty for your sins (Romans 5:8), but you need to confess them, ask for the forgiveness of God, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. You don't have control over your life; don't the leave the decision till tomorrow. Take that bold step today and embrace eternal life.

God bless you. :)

There Is A Choice You Need To Make Today!

In the book of Luke 16:19 - 25, the story was told of two people that lived here on earth and died. When they opened their eyes on the other side of eternity, the two of them found themselves in two different places. The two men were the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man was in torment in hell. Note that he was not in hell because of his money, but because of how he lived his life on earth. The rich man could also recognise Lazarus in Heaven. Lazarus did not go to Heaven because he was poor, but because of the life he lived while on earth.
