NEVER LET GO YOUR FIRST LOVE.


Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first work; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
Revelation 2:4-5.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.
(Ephesians 5:1-2).

This is an admonishment for all of us to ‘walk in love’ as ‘Christ hath loved us’. Even as God orders our ways, we wish to say that our zeal for God is dwindling. I stand to be corrected but that passion ‘to always assemble’ and fellowship with God is quenching out. What might be the cause? Are we not doing something right as a family? Is there disorderliness in the house or have we forgotten all about what used to be our pride and joy.
We should never lose sight of the fact that we are in WORLD and so our lives should not be that of the world. Every new level comes with a new devil and the higher the level, the stronger the devil. We shouldn’t think we are too much into God to be swayed away. It is an undeniable fact that we all worship GOD in our closets, but there is a necessity to assemble and be with our MAKER. Individually, we know praying, worshiping, reading of the Word needs a lot of discipline to adhere to. That is why we are encouraged to fellowship together so that each one can be kept in check.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that run down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard; that went down to the skirts of his garment; (Psalm 133:1-2).

It is never too late. The Lord longs to fellowship with us. No matter how far we might have gone, or how close we might think we are, there is still room for improvement. Let’s make a rapid U-TURN, let’s PUT ASIDE our DIFFERENCES and make room out of our BUSY SCHEDULES so that we can make time for HIM NOW and not postpone till it is too late to do so.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (John 9:4).

Our prayer for you is that, you may grow more and more like Christ. We are backing you up in prayers. You mean the world to God and us.
HE LOVES YOU AND HE IS ACHING FOR A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

LIFE CHOICES


A choice can be defined as an act of choosing, the right or ability to choose, a range from which to choose or something chosen.
Choosing has a link with decision making. Before you opt for something, it is assumed that what you have decided on is the best you can lay hands on. Unfortunately, we forget that choice making deals with our will power. We forget who we are and therefore blindly take decisions without consultation or conviction.
Humanity has been trained in a way to look away from one’s faults in the zeal of seeing to the well being of others. How pathetic?
Let’s ask ourselves what we make of people who mess up when they are presented with real chances to make a head way?
Yet we look at others with judgmental eyes forgetting are in this together.
We blame Adam and Eve for eating of the Tree of Good and of Evil yet what do we do when we just have to tell a simple truth, we justifiably tell a lie and think we are smart and think we are better off than others… well this is a food for thought…
If we happen to hear a freshly baked cake has been rejected by a beloved for stale burnt cake all will be quick to point fingers. It sounds strange and we would strongly criticize this person thinking he has lost his head which is in fact true...
Well it is sad to say that we are faced with choices each and every day of our lives and most of us end up making the wrong choices. Why and How? Because of IGNORANCE and PRIDE, we have decided to reject freshly baked cake which is the nourishment to our growth. Just like our spiritual beings, we need the WORD as guidelines to our spiritual growth. I am talking about things like Christian Literatures, Christian Messages, Christian Music and all the other materials that would help speed up our growth and nourish us. But we rather end up choosing the stale burnt cake which represents our evil desires and other activities which corrupt our minds.
The consequence of these bad choices is spiritual sickness and slow death. Is high time we swallowed our PRIDE to clarify our identity as Christians. It is time we reject the stale burnt cake for the freshly baked cake.
THE CHOICE IS IN YOUR HANDS.
