A Clean White Toilet Seat

-
I'm going to describe two different types of toilet seats, and I would like you to choose the one you would prefer to use. The first toilet seat is, a gold plated one, very beautiful on the outside, but in it, is all manner of filth, enough feaces almost overflowing. The second, is an all white toilet seat, purified, with a clean water, that can almost be mistaken for a drinking water. Now choose, which do you prefer? The white? But the other is gold plated, do you really care what's on the inside? Why? Ok, the answer is obvious, everyone desires what is clean and pure. So does God.

 God is interested in making you white, clean, and pure, and the world is also interested in making use of that which has been made pure. Apparently, God doesn't not make a man clean to abandon him, He makes them clean for His own use, which is to please and serve Him at His perfect time. The problem now is, the world also likes to make use of a clean man, but in a negative way entirely.

They start by enticing this man with gold, they decorate him with expensive stones and rubies, if he gives in, then they start polluting him. Every kind of filth is put into him, such as sexual immorality, lies, witchcraft, voodoo, magic, anger, malice, and even, bugatti, ferrari, lots of cash, mansion, fame, and so on. After the man has been filled with all this, the world then realizes he is of no use anymore, and they begin to wreck, torment, and traumatize him because he becomes just totally useless to them. This man frustrated with his life, commits suicide, or dies of hard drugs, or even plastic surgery. Doesn't this scenario sound familiar?

Actually, this is what is happening in the world right now. But unfortunately for man, God has given us the freedom of choice, it is only left for a man to decide if he would remain clean and wait patiently for the Master's use or out of greed accept the world's offer. If the Lord has already made you white and pure, please wait for Him to make use of you. Do not be anxious to show off your purity to the world lest you become corrupt. The bible tells us that in a rich man's house are many vessels, those unto honor and dishonor, those of gold and wood. Some vessels are for special occasion and are kept until the need of them arises. Some of God's children are kept for special occasions, but during the course of waiting for that special day, they get entangled with the affairs of the world, become carried away, and from there get polluted.

In essence, if you have been made clean and whole, please be mindful, and stay away from those who would pollute you. For we are not ignorant of the devices of the devil, and though we are in the world, we are not of the world, so please beware. And for you, who is filthy, Jesus is ready to make you as white as snow, and make you clean. Say yes to Him now, accept Him as your Lord and savior, and you would be made whole.
 Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
