Thoughts on marble


Things have happened since my last post, and i've wondered within myself: How is it that we, believers, have fallen into such decadent state? I took a look at The Word and my wondering landed me in acts 20:7-11 or so. Here i read a story about a certain young man, eutichus by name, who fell asleep while Paul was peraching in Troas and fell from the third floor window where hw was supposed to be feasting on the Word. I had an enlightenment here that satisfied my wandering thoughts. Many believers today are like eutichus in the body of Christ, sleeping instead of occupying or gettin busy for the Lord.
I do not know if this generation is ready for the move of God that will usher in the rapture. Complacence is at an all time high with different kinds of christianity on parade. Believers are now more focused on their personal security then on the things of the Spirit. What happened to the command given to the body of Christ through the apostle Jude saying that we should contend for the faith that was originally handed to the saints by the apostles? We are contending for our private agendas, setting divine purpose on the fire of perversion.
How long shall we continue in this life of compromise? No soldier ad gladium has time to mix everyday life with warfare, so the scriptures tells us. Our warfare in this season is not about pulling down and destroying stuff, it is about recovery of all who are supposed to be in the camp of the Lord, but have fallen into a state of complacency after the order of eutichus consequently finding themselves in the camp of the enemy.
In case you are still wondering why believers are in such dilema about life and the enemy? How many believers are walking in the reality of scriptures? The church today is reduced to a caricature, with a shadow of the original form and a supersaturation of men's wisdom and the wisdom of this world. By our slumber, we have ceeded authority to the enemy who now controls us, afflicts us and oppresses us as though we are without dominion. If we are to take the world for God we have to wake up. The end time army is on a carnival instead of on the battle field contending for the faith, fighting the good fight of faith. Now this fight is not a physical one but a spiritual one.
Christ is sending warning waves to His church. This article is one of them. Ninety-ninie and a half is not enough for God, he will not lower His standards for any noe, not me, not you! Wake up and get busy about the Father's business.

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
