THE PAWN

By -
The pawn is the most common and weakest piece in the game of chess. It may move one square directly forward, it may move two squares directly forward on its first move, and it may capture one square diagonally forward. 
A pawn that makes its way up to the top rank is given the opportunity to become a queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color. Achieving this requires the player's exceptional skill and strategy. David's position in the Scripture can be compared to a pawn, but he was able to become the king of Israel thanks to God's grace. God made Gideon a judge and deliverer of Israel (Judges 6-7) even though he was a pawn. It was possible for these people because they believed in God and moved according to His dictates. The scripture says in Isaiah 30:21 ‘Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left’.
God is the creator of the heavens, the earth, and all the creatures inhabiting it. He has complete knowledge and control over everything. He is a master strategist and game-changer.  No matter your lowly position, you can move up the ranks and become a king. Psalms 75:6-7 “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. (KJV)
All you have to do is to believe in Him. For you can do all things through God who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13), and for God, nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37)

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY

  Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria experienced a sudden explosion that caused some people to lose their lives unprepared. According to the Scripture, Christ will come back without any prior notice, just like a thief in the night. You might be pondering that it's been a long time since people talked about His second coming, but He hasn't made an appearance yet. In the event of your sudden death, do you have a chance of eternity in heaven? Can you boast that your final destination won't be a place of torment? Jesus came into this world to give you life and make it more abundant (John 10:10). God sent Him to make it possible for anyone who believes in Him to have eternal life (John 3:16). Nothing you acquire in this world can compare to the eternity in heaven. What's the benefit of gaining the whole world but losing your soul? (Mark 8:36).  Don't be caught napping. Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior today and secure your eternal home.

ASK

Then the leaders of the tribe of Levi came to consult with Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the other tribes of Israel. They came to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said, “The lord commanded Moses to give us towns to live in and pasturelands for our livestock.” So by the command of the lord the people of Israel gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own grants of land. (Joshua 21:1-3)  Despite the Lord's command that lands should be given to the tribe of Levy, they have the responsibility of asking again and reminding the leaders of what God had instructed. God made many promises to us, but we need to ask and remind Him of them. You should realize that God never forgets, asking indicates our trust in Him and His ability to fulfill His promises.  The last verse of the chapter says ‘Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true’

FREE INDEED

 Upon arrival at the site, I noticed a dove tied down by one of my employees. When I requested its release, he stated his intention to sell it. After asking for the price, he informed me, and I asked him to release the bird, which he did, and then I paid for it.  The Scripture says “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6. By paying the price with his precious blood, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be set free and welcome into God's family. Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”  Our new status as His slaves necessitates us to do His pleasure and avoid taking things for granted. Romans 6:22 say “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life”.  We are free from condemnation
