MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD

By -

 To manifest means to make evident or certain by showing or displaying.

Romans 8:19  says ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God’. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. According to Acts 11:26, the people observed Christ through their actions, words, manners, and so on. I believe that Christianity is a lifestyle, not just a religious practice. To be considered His son, we must follow the way Jesus lived and adhere to the scriptures. 
DOING GOOD, AND HEALING PEOPLE: Acts of the Apostles 10:38 ‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him’. It's our responsibility to do good and heal people, and we must remember that it's impossible without the Holy Spirit and power that can only be given by God.
LOVING YOUR ENEMIES: Luke 23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. Luke 6:35 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. Our Father desires for us to pay back good for evil, even though it may not be easy.
COMPASSIONATE: Matthew 14:14 ‘Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick’. 
Matthew 9:36 ‘When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd’. Being compassionate and merciful towards people is necessary to be revealed as His son. The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) should not be forgotten.
Don’t ever think that this is not possible, for the scripture says in John 14:12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father”. If we have faith and trust in Him, we can accomplish more. People will come to Christ Jesus because they have seen Him in us. Without preaching, our lives have saved people from the highway to hell and the kingdom of God.

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY

By -

  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.

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

SIN IS A VIRUS AND IT KILLS

Coronavirus which came from Wuhan a city in China has killed many throughout the world by now.  The disease that the virus causes has been named COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019. Efforts are being made so as to produce a vaccine that can conquer this terrible virus. (How good the world would have been if leaders of nations can come together against sins like this) Sin also found its way into the world through Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden thousand of years back and individuals, organizations and nations do less or nothing to contain this in fact in we are just scheming a new way of sining daily.  If we check the Scripture very well, we will discover that diseases are always the fruit of disobedience; Exodus 15:26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am
