BE SENSITIVE AND MAKE USE OF THE OPPORTUNITY

By -

When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.” (2 Kings 2:1-3)

The company of the prophets was aware that the great prophet Elijah would be taken away, just like Elisha. However, they only observed. Elisha's unwavering determination saw him stand by Elijah until the very end. His tenacity paid off at the end when he received a double portion of prophet Elijah's spirit (2 Kings 2:11-13). He parted the Jordan River just as prophet Elijah did, and the company of prophets came to bow down to him (2 Kings 2:14-16).

We've all seen great opportunities fall by the wayside because we were not sensitive enough, didn't take action, or didn't take them at the right time. The Scripture says ‘ If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.(James 4:17) ‘Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Don't wait, take action right away. Don't overlook the opportunities, don't listen to what others are saying, and ultimately, people will bow before you.

Today is the day to receive Christ into your life, so make sure you don't miss out. Without Him, there is no eternal life as He was sent to die for our sins by God. (John 3:16).

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.

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
