Complete in Him.

We have been given different templates for defining completeness in life by pou society.Some schools of thought have it in the form of physical substance.They believe that you are complete if you have money and influence.Others believe you are complete if you have men at your beck-and-call,yet others believe that a complete man is one who can satisfy his woman in all ramifications.
What is completeness then?The bible tells us that completeness is not in the things we do but in who we are.In this world,there are two kinds of people: those who are in the middle of an identity crisis (No thanks to the fall),and those who now know who they are in Christ. Paul the Apostle said in Eph 1:22-23 that God made Christ the head over all things to the Church which is his body,the fullness of Him who fills all in all ,so you see that Christ is not only the fullness of all things in God but he also fills all things in God.We can also say that Christ is the completenes of all things in God and He completes all things in God.Hallelujah!
Your positioning and relevance in this system of things is not a function of what society defines (Because society is bound in the realm of the five physical sences and can not concieve any thing beyond this realm),it is a function of who you know you are.People who battle with complexes and self-esteem issues have got to know that in Christ,it is not about what the world says or think about you,but it is all about who Christ has made you become! If only believers will realise this,then we will be free from frustration and depression.We will not have issues with acceptance because we have been accepted into the beloved.Do you see that?
People of God let us now walk tall in the accurate knowledge of who we are in Christ.He is our completeness and we are complete in Him.What more can we ask for!

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
