The questions are often asked "Who is a Christian? How do i know a Christian if i meet one? Does every Matthew,Mark,Luke and John go for a christian? Is everyone who raises up his hand in response to a preacher's call to repentance a Christian? Does everybody who passes through the church isle to the altar go for a Christian? Are all those in church pews during church services Christians? Are all those who call the name of Jesus Christians? Who is a Christian? Finally you may ask "Am i a Christian?" A soul winner on evangelism met a drunk staggering down a lane. In his attempt to help him descover the true purpose of living,he asked "Are you a Christian?" The answer came quick,and sharp "What do you think i am? A pagan?" This is a pitiful point. A brilliant preacher full of energy and zeal got the pass mark of his congregation. But his life at home showed a pattern of pride and jealousy found in the fallen angel,Lucifer. A gifted and talen...

God always have a message for His children in order to keep them focused as they journey through this spiritual wilderness known as earth,to a glorious spiritual home known as heaven where the Father lives.Though heaven is our glorious home,yet our instincts cannot lead us there.And because we cannot get there on our own,and God Himself knowing that we can't,even though He wants us to get there,had to provide a way.This way is His Son Jesus Christ whom He sent to die for our sins thus breaking the barrier between us and God.He said," I am the way,and the truth,and the life.The only way to the Father is through me. " -John 14:6 [NCV].Hence the Way has now been provided,all we need to do is to believe in Him that if we should follow this Way,we would certainly get home. Now imagine yourself being lost,and your father showed you the way home,won't you believe Him and follow the way? Of course you would because you have the assurance that your father would be the last ...

Among all known words used by people,love is probably the most common and a much familiar word.It's almost in everyone's mouth. Now,we are sure you may be wondering what else we have to say about this much well known word.It could be true that you've heard a lot about this word,and have probably received many teachings on it.But we urge you to patiently read through this simple amazing truth discovery study to discover something else God wants you to know,probably something you thought you know,but never truely knew. In this study,we would be unveiling the truth about love,what it is all about,the mystery behind love,and the principle of love.Remember we said it will be a simple study,and we trust the Lord to make it as simple as possible through the help of the Holy Spirit.Now let's kick start with this question; What Is Love? An interesting thing about this word is that many people tend to know how best to apply it without even knowing what it is nor what i...

Beloved in Christ Jesus,it's quite normal to attend church services on Sundays or numerous programmes organised elsewhere,and we are sure that you've always heard and received so many messages from your place of worship,or the programmes you happen to attend.It may be the usual messages you've always heard over and over again,but what counts is the fact that you have heard it once again today probably. However,we will like to point out a very important and serious point on something you may have probably known already,or yet to know.Our desire is to always teach and clearify the usual issues from an unsual point of view so you could have an indept understanding on these usual issues of which you normally or usually pay little or no attention to. Do you know that the devil is ever willing and ready to do everything possible just to make sure that he hinders you from making it to heaven? He never runs short of ideas on what to do nor ever cease or stop looking for new wa...

3 R e a s o n s Why you need Jesus . . . Jesus loves you! He desires to have a relationship with you,and to give you a life full of joy and purpose. Why do you need Him in your life? 1 . Because you have a past. You can't go back,but He can.The Bible says," Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,today and forever. " -Hebrews 13:8.He can walk into those places of sin and failure,wipe the slate clean and give you a new beginning.He knows everything about your past,He knew all the terrible mistakes you've made,He knew how much you hated and rejected Him on many occasions,but He still loved you and is willing to erase your wicked past which is why He said," I have seen what they do,but I will heal them anyway! " -Isaiah 57:18.He also said," I-yes,I alone-am the one who blots out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again . " -Isaiah 43:25.And," No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it .I can make you as clean a...

The world is indeed full of many religions which believe in one thing or the other.Though most of these religions somehow have something in common,there is however only one religion that is unique and completely different from the rest.Every religion has a beginning and it's source.Tt's source determines whether that religion and it's teachings are true and genuine. However,we will be focusing on one of these religions known as Christianity. Christianity today,is figuratively the world's largest and most persecuted religion as many people including some of it's followers,believe that it's teachings are hard to understand and accept.Even in the Holy Bible [the only Book used by Christians],some people also complained thus rejecting it's teachings.They said," This is very hard to understand .How can anyone accept it? " -John 6:60.Actually they maybe right,no body would just accept such strong teachings that easily.But the problem however,is n...

Every believer has a particular Christian church he identifies himself with,and it's necessary for the spiritual safety of that believer.The early church was built on one foundation-Jesus Christ." For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have-Jesus Christ. " -1 Corinthians 3:11.The teachings of the early church was up to standard despite the challenges and persecutions faced by the church.The Bible said in Acts 8:1 that the believers were scattered on the heat of the persecution yet the believers maintained the standards of Jesus' teachings werever they find themselves.They were one and united in Christ Jesus despite their physical differences. However,can the same be said of today's church? The one united church of the early days,has now become numerous with different names,teachings,doctrines,and way of worship.The once one united church is now divided and even fighting itself thereby leaving us with these questions: Where is the unity,...

Yes,by God's grace,Jesus tasted death for everyone. -Hebrews 2:9. God's Grace And Its Basis In His grace God seeks and saves the greatest sinner.Grace makes no distinction between outwardly decent people and thieves,adulterers,liars or whatever " We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ.Amd this is true for everyone who believes,no matter who we are.For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.Yet God,with undeserved kindness,declares that we are righteous.He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. " -Romans 3:22-24. So long as we consider ourselves decent and good,this assertion annoys us.We cannot understand grace of this kind."How can God show grace and turn a blind eye to much evil? That surely isn't possible!" But He doesn't do that! God's grace has a firm foundation and doesn't overlook any sin.Why not? Because Christ " by God's gr...

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb makes Christianity significantly different from all other religious systems of the world.Like Christianity,Islam,Confucianism,Buddhism,and many other religions are based upon strong moral codes which govern the lives of their followers.But unlike Christianity,the leaders who set forth their codes for living have not been able to prove them to be of any value beyond the grave. The followers of other religions place their faith in systems of rules that lead nowhere with any certainty.Christians,on the other hand,place their faith in Jesus Christ who has conquered sin by rising from the tomb.If we exclude the Resurrection from Christianity,we are left with nothing more than a moral code that leads nowhere.That's what Paul mearnt when he told the Corinthians," If Christ has not been raised,then all our preaching is useless,and your faith is useless.And we apostles would all be lying about God-for we have said that God raised Christ ...

There is something strange about writing an article knowing fully well it will not be belie-ved. This is one such article. The report of the Lord says the gospel will not be believed. Moreov-er, it insists most people will refuse to believe the prophecy that the gospel will not be believed. Isaiah’s prophecy " And he said,"Yes,go.But tell my people this:'You will hear my words,but you will not understand.You will see what I do,but you will not perceive its meaning.'Harden the hearts of these people.Close their ears,and shut their eyes.That way,they will not see with their eyes,hear with their ears,understand with their hearts,and turn to me for healing. ” -Isaiah 6:9-10. Isaiah could not believe this kind of assignment. What is the point of preaching to people when you know they will not listen? So he asked how long this would last. But the answer brought no reprieve..” And he replied,"Until their cities are destroyed,with no one left in them.Until their houses ...

Now turn from your sins and turn to God,so you can be cleansed of your sins. -Acts 3:19. What is repentance precisely? What is repentance precisely in God's mind,as the Bible teaches it?There is a lot of misunderstanding on this issue.Is repentance merely a religious exercise?Does it consist in seeking to eradicate sins once committed through prayers or good deeds? Recently I wanted to give a young lady a booklet on this subject."No,I don't need repentance.I have three small children ."Three young children may cause a mother a lot of work and trouble,even worry ,but can that compensate for repentance?Is it possible to balance one's debit account with God through one's efforts?That is the crux of the matter. Who is at all aware of the amount of one's guilt before God,even if no serious crimes have been committed?A single sin suffices to justify God's condemnation,and nobody can pay for a single one:the prce is too high,indeed,so high that o...

God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it,but to save it. - John 3:17. God has a Son Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down?Who holds the wind in his fists?Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak?Who has created the whole wide world?What is his name-and his Son's name? -Proverb 30:4.God has a Son,and,as the quotation from the book of Proverbs shows,even the oldest people in the Bible suspected that it was so.That Son was sent to us by God.Is it possible to send a son who doesn't exist?Isn't that an indication that the Son of God is eternal like God Himself? Already before His birth God had decided on His Name:Jesus!And that name,which means "the Lord is salvation" describes God's purpose:He wishes to save.The message re-occurs constantly as the subject of the leaves of this calendar. Conceived by the Holy Spirit,Jesus was the Son of God even as a Man on earth (cf Matthew 1:20;Luke 1:35).Even when He was a child,people sought to kil...

Welcome to the second part of our quest towards discovering the amazing truth on the existence of God.The truth is,there is no limit to much a person can know God.Knowing God is not a day nor a year thing,but it is a continuous process until the very day an individual final dies and goes to be with the Lord in glory.Though we've seen some few and important facts about those who had some explanations on how life began and whether or not God do exists,we are now going to dig deep on this very issue by looking at more amazing facts that may get rid of any possible skepticism from your mind.But before we proceed,I will like to refer you to the previous part of this truth discovery which you can do by CLICKING THIS LINK TO START FROM THE BEGINNING in order not to miss a single detail of this great search. We have seen that human beings have limitations and cannot be relied on no matter how powerful,intelligent,promising or influential they are.Nothing that ever comes out of man ca...
