Secular Movie 2

-
And finally, we're concluding on the secular movie segment. From the comments that were made in the last post, I really did not feel the need to still go on to conclude again. I mean, the comment just sort of warped up everything more that could have been said, the LORD still got a few words on the matter though.

First is, be mindful of who you fed, is it your flesh or your spiritual man? Do not gratify the body at the expense of you spiritual self.

Matthew 26:41 NIV "Watch and pray so you do not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

Secondly, remember that you become a slave to whatever you let control you. Please, do not become a movie slave (or any other secular thing), he who the Son sets free is free indeed, friend.

2Peter 2:19 NLT "They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you."

And lastly, in everything you do, always obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. He is the only One that has been ascertained by Jesus to guide you into all truths, so please, it isn't enough to just listen to Him, also, obey him promptly.

Galatians 5:17 KJV "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."

"Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more." 1Thessalonians 4:1 NIV.

Thank you for your time, may God help us all to be like His Son Jesus. Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-

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...
