Christianity cross contamination

Testimony Time:-A very good day to you all and welcome to another Monday. Without any doubt, today is not just an ordinary day but one that is besieged with thoughts over the Paris attacks which took place last Friday. The attacks may have bedraggled the world with reflective resilience, its effects will forever be etched on the world peace. Besides, the culpable effects of this new wave of terror will have severe repercussions on the way ordinary citizens go about they daily ways of life. Whatever view anyone may have, the most potent one is that of cross contamination. We have them irrespectively against every religious background. The effects are very poignant in every religious movements. It allows the possibility of celebrating misconception, failures, weaknesses, unrighteousness, pride, arrogance and lack of integrity against the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. As we continue to live with the fear of cross contamination, let us remember that Jesus shared the same fear in His teachings in Matthew 24:9-13. Which states “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death,and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Let me now use this medium to employ everyone to pray and also share in the grief of the French people. This is because the terror that took benign berth in France dockyard, knocks very deeply into the eyes of the freedom to live. Our thoughts and prayers also goes to those whose lives have been affected one way or the other with the carnage administered by those who have tried so much to deface the world peace. Let us not get too carried away though; time itself is still counting, days are still rolling and men are still thinking. The most important question for time to answer is where the cross contamination leads everyone and where we end up with, in thoughts and in deeds? However, let us always remind ourselves in every decision we may take that the death can no more say thank you even though we all have sacrifices to make. We must know the true salvation from this onslaughts can only come from God. May the Lord heal the world from all effects of cross contamination in every religion in Jesus name.

Beyond the quiet flip

Testimony Time:-Good morning everyone and welcome to another day. Clearly, it has been a quiet flip over from day 13 to 14 in the Month of November and the year 2015. However and very rightly too, those who are called after the name of Christ, can claim to have been called directly or indirectly by God. And today, the same God have chosen to strengthen us by giving us the power to push until we become a living witness and then be able to see the birth of another day. Categorically, it does not matter at what length or stage you may have been called and by whatever means the Lord may have deployed to make you His own. What matters now is if you are fit enough to maintain your calling before the Creator of Heaven and Earth and the Everlasting King. Let me reiterate, in the very first instance and as a child of God, God would have had to purge us of certain spirit/darkness so that we can be toned to His standard. The overall essence is to allow the Holy Spirit to take preeminence in our lives. From then on, working and walking with God therefore depends so much on how much one can nurture the Silent Spirit of God in us with the fruits of righteousness. Primarily, this is so that we can "be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God". (Philippians 1:10-11) Therefore, if after you have met with Christ and you again decide to miss your road, there is a problem! Unless there is a divine intervention, one is bound to miss his/her road forever. We can draw inference from the story of Saul in 2 Samuel 3:1. Having been called and chosen as a king over the people of Israel, Saul chose to miss his road again before the presence of the Lord. What happened was-the rightful Spirit of the Lord deserted him in a manner that saw "David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily". At this stage, and if we must be reassured, the same God still operates till now. And that is because we serve the Lord who cannot change position. His reign is from everlasting to everlasting, so where can you hide? Ecclesiastes 3:11 buttresses this point-“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end". Psalm 103:17 also claim that "the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children" Now the choices are clearly apparent. You can either denounce the instructions of God in a way that can be likened to that of Saul and then begin to decay daily without your understanding and or knowing/accepting the issues. Or you can choose to uphold His righteousness by walking and working with His Holiness, and then flourish like David. May the Grace of God enliven our souls with His righteousness and make our hearts fit enough so that the Holy Spirit can continue to reside in us in Jesus name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking in into His Presence...

What should be more important in life (Steve Jobs)

Testimony Time:-Good morning again and welcome to another privilege before the Lord. Against every presupposition, I was pressed to share this message as I have received it. And let me add at this point that you will not understand it fully, unless you are patient enough to read to the end. Before going on, I want us to understand that when I write, share and or broadcast any message, I do so not from the view of someone who is free from what my messages tend to portray, but as a man who is culpable to carry some guilt and or be overburdened with some sins. I also write as a man who have seen it all, met with Christ and continue to work relentlessly to assuage records of his past sins, not to reoccur in the new race for the Kingdom. A man that now puts all his trust in the Lord, serving Him with joy, believe, faith and faithfully looking unto Him like everyone, so that at every stage; the Lord can continue to faithfully keep His covenant upon me, my household and above all-upon the Church through which I have received my calling. Like Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:7-14, "I consider those thing that were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;" "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me" "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. My messages do not cast aspersions like many others. They are not pre planned but hatched daily under the guidance and inspiration of God. Occasionally, it comes using some poetic devices. They represent avenues where many can choose to develop their faith in Christ, and more often than not, they are messages that turns me inside out going through them again and again. And until our final breathe; no one, absolutely no one! is immune from any trials, temptations and the antics of Satan. Therefore, I want to encourage you even further, to "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:8-10) Having cleared what could generate some misconceptions, please take time to read the following message as shared by a friend. I am sure it will put your Christian Faith on a new pedestal. 11/9/15, 10:27:58 PM: Cole: Steve jobs’ Last Words - "I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer… Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ... Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love. That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands. What is the most expensive bed in the world? - "Sick bed" … You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life". When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life". Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends... Treat yourself well and Cherish others." We are here today, tomorrow who knows? We are singing today, who knows what tomorrow will be. If the rich people claims to have lacked God at some point in their lives, what of you who is rich in God? And to conclude, just how rich is your value before Him and your friends? May the Lord enrich us with His Grace so that the race to the Lord's Kingdom can be a pleasant one in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Learning from a £50 note

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends and welcome to a brand new day. The message today was made quite easy for me, it has to do with a write up lifted by a friend and the source unknown. Although, I have seen the same message many years back, I want to believe it is appropriate to share because the theme is peculiar, direct and quite poignant. The topic itself deals with two important management lessons one can learn from a £50 note:- 1. It happened some time ago. I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got his wallet out and pulled out a £50 note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this £50 note?" Lots of hands went up. Including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one would be and who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too ) why he would simply give away £50. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the fifty pound note from his hand. "Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone. The speaker simply said "Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen. That's of no use. You've got to make things happen. Make a move" 'Simply thinking about doing something is of no use and not good enough'. Our lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We all want the good things. But the problem is we don't take action. We all want the £50 notes on offer. But we don't make the move. We look at it longingly. Get up, and do something about it. Don't worry about what other people might think. Take action! 2. Later, the speaker got another £50note and held it up for all to see. I thought I know what's up. But he just asked a simple question. "How much is this worth?" "Fifty pounds!" the crowd yelled in unison. "Right," said the speaker. He then took the note and crumpled it into a ball and asked "How much is it worth now?" "Fifty pounds " screamed the audience. He then threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and picked up the note and asked one more time: "And how much is it worth now?" "Fifty pounds !" was the response. "I want you to remember this," said the speaker. "Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the value of the note does not diminish. We should all be like the £50note.. In our lives, there will be times when we feel crushed, stamped over, beaten. But never let your self-worth diminish. Just because someone chooses to crush you - that doesn't change your worth one bit! Don't allow your self-worth to diminish because someone says something nasty -- or does something dirty -- to you." Never let your self-worth diminish... Above all, never let your faith and trust in God dwindle because God's Grace is always very sufficient for us. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Buttresses the point and "He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong". May we have valuable essence in the Presence of the Lord so that we can continue to live each day filled with the blessings of the Lord in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Daily prescription...

Testimony Time:-Good morning everyone and welcome to the Unstoppable Presence of our Lord. Today, you have received another invitation to flourish in His Presence; but first, you must accept His Supremacy over everything before you can enjoy and also share in His Presence. To share in His undeniable and indiscriminate presence requires a very adequate election in the realm of the Spirit, the method of voting is through a Spiritual Ballot and all participants must have walked righteously and in holiness too. Every day must therefore be seen as a daily prescription from God so that those who claim to know and follow God must also show their love for Him through their daily attributes. They must be seen to be following a due process which involves an election to be able to gain admission into His Spiritual Camp. Taking part in this election is very easy but it does not automatically qualifies or confirms any identity in Christ. However, it's process can always portray whose calling you have received and or operating upon; whether it is of Satan or of Gods? If truly you are in Christ, the attestations of Apostle Paul in 2 Peter 1: 3-11 should not be strange to you. And that is because "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires". "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins." "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". Amen Just checking in into His Presence...
