DOING GOOD...


Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Jesus Christ is still in the business of doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil.  Many people consider being sick as being bed ridden on the hospital bed or being weak in the body and not being able to function well or being mentally sick like being visibly mad. The truth is many are not visibly physically sick or visibly mentally sick but are sick because the devil has oppressed them so much they don’t even know how sick they are, and Jesus came to heal all those who are oppressed by the devil and is still doing so.

John 10:10 A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of (MSG). The devil comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, so the devil is on a mission he has a clear plan but we are so ignorant of the wiles of the devil that we just live our lives without a care about what the devil has planned out for us, meanwhile the devil is so serious about his mission. He makes us feel like we are doing just fine and that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, but my dear brothers and sisters a life without Jesus is not doing just fine it is a life under constant oppression by the devil. Remember the devils mission is to steal, to kill, and to destroy but Jesus came to give us life and to give us more abundantly. Which would you rather choose life or death?

Galatians 5; 19-21 The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like of which I tell you before as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  We either choose life or we choose death, we either choose to remain sick or we choose to be healed forever, we either choose to be in chains or we choose to be free from bondage, we choose to be in the kingdom of darkness or in the kingdom of light. The Christmas season is a great season to reflect on this and make a choice.

This Christmas season is also a season to do good deeds, I remember the story of Cornelius in the bible who was remembered not only for his dedication and commitment to God but also for his alms giving (Acts 10; 1-4,31) and Tabitha who was raised from the dead because she was well known for her good works and alms giving (Acts 9: 36-42). As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior let us not downplay the importance of alms giving in God’s response to Cornelius and Tabitha, let us remember to share the love of Jesus by giving to the poor and needy around us, so that your alms giving and good deeds may be remembered by God. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Gossip, Backbiting, Slander.....

The oxford dictionary describes gossip as a casual or unconstrained conversation or report about other people typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. Backbiting is described as a malicious talk about someone who is not present, and Slander is the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation. I am sure many of us in time past or presently have been involved in one way or the other in gossip, backbiting or slander, they all point to the same thing which is talking about others in a negative way behind their backs, which most times is not confirmed as true. I am guilty of this sin, writing about it doesn’t mean I am innocent, but I know God hates it and he is dealing with me in this aspect, so I’m learning but not there yet. What does the bible say about gossip? Here are some verses in the bible about gossip, back biting and slander James 3; 5-6 ‘And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great p...

Paid in Full

Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins so you don’t have to remain a slave to sin. Jesus didn’t die for only a few people, he died for all of us, Jesus doesn’t love just a few people, he loves all of us. But do we know that Jesus loves us so much he died on the cross a shameful death just because he wanted us to live a life free from sin, a life filled with joy, peace, favour and fulfilment and everything that the world cannot offer?. People keep looking for all these things in the world but the world can never offer them these because it is incapable of providing them, it can only provide a copy but not the real thing even though it is wrapped up nicely like it is the real thing it really isn’t. This is why many people are sad , and   mental health issues is on the increase, some are killing themselves , some act like they have it all together   but they really don’t, some who have been in Christ are not exempt. Christians who know Jesus and have even walked with h...
