GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS(PART 1) (Matthew 4:19)

Image
A lot of people get bored easily. I know a number of them. _They are flashing through my mind as i type. Am i exempted?..hehe You wake up, go through that stuff,go to work, talk to clients, balance&prepare accounts,meetings upon meetings, intermittent breaks,get back home late,A wedding& funeral saturday with a churchy sunday...Above all, a virtual repeat. It is a routine which never stops. *As we say, *Going through the motions*- which is to do something without any interest, enthusiasm, sincerety. To do or say something with little effort & sometimes in pretense because of its lack of importance. We've all been going through stuff yet we keep asking ourselves... *WHAT?...WHAT NOW?...WHAT AGAIN?* Peter& Andrew,as  fishermen had routine processes to go through.They *may* have been going through the motions.This is because as soon as the higher calling of fishing for men came, they responded immediately. Beloved, *To avoid Going through the Motions*: - *F...

THOSE PEOPLE&US(Acts 9:10-22)

Image
In the first 15 years of my life,i was going through the christian motion. _You are born into the christian home,go to church&go through all the religious processes_. From then having been convicted somewhere at senior high level, i fully committed myself to him. Many people go through these stages like i did.However,not all get to the point where they truly get to be born again or to fully commit to him. In my twenty 'something' years of christian life, I have seen people like me. Also, I have seen people raised in the christian home, gone astray&come back. *THE ABOVE ARE THE US* Others go astray,we see them around but they are yet to be back in the faith. We still have those who are with us but are so lukewarm, carefree about the faith as if nothing is at stake. *THE ABOVE ARE THOSE PEOPLE* Acts 9 gives an accounts of one man who experienced the two.One we all adore-PAUL. Though Paul before his conversion persecuted christians,God told  Ananias to go& ...

Questions is one of my timeless running series. This is how far we've come-Part 5. Well, the link below is a reminder to Questions-Part 1(http://myinss.blogspot.co.id/2016/04/questionspart-1.html?m=1) This is where we ask simple,relevant,teasing yet interesting questions for you to ponder&draw out meaningful answers yourself as inspired by your maker. The QUESTIONS now: * What are your goals and aspirations??? * Is popularity or fame a part of it??? * Are you of the view that time is running out??? * Are you of the view that People,Friends&Colleagues are making it...so why not me??? (Marriage,Lucrative jobs,flashy cars are all key examples) * Why not me when I also had that business idea or movie story that became a hit? * Are you 'so' eager to make it in life? * Do you even care if you will TREND for the most dirtiest,despicable or most controversial reasons?(It only has to get to you there) Do you look around you today&say: *I also have t...

MEDITATE!(ECCLESIASTES. 9:4-10)

Image
Let's  do *Meditate* this morning. Now just to remind you that the book of Ecclesiastes is one of the proverbial  books  by King Solomon. Whiles  some of the verses are poetic others are in plain language. Betterstill they all  require this- *MEDITATION*& as you do this, i know you'll  be blessed. V.4 Anyone who is among the living has hope—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! 5 For the living know that they will die,but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward,and even their name is forgotten. 6 Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. 7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart,for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, i whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has giv...

MASTERING THEM(John 16:33,1John 5:5)

Image
Good morning to you all. Great to be back to serve you  On This Morning(Your All Round Devotional) How many of us have been like the Prodigal son...not once,twice but on countless times? How many of us have tried to stop  that habit or to just  stop doing that BAD, yet...? How many of us can be bold to say  we don't know the basic things God requires of us?...We do,yet...? Sometimes as  Christians, we behave like that stubborn child who clearly knows what not to do but still does it. I'm sure the smooth balm of an answer we would want to rub on God is: God we know  oo..but  i keep falling, i keep going back. How?...How do i surmount  this life challenge?...How do i face this problem?...How do i fight this temptation?...How do i run away from that trouble? Beloved, the truth  is that troubles will never stop. So far as you don't cease to be here,they don't cease to be there.Brace yourself, Face them, knowing that Jesus has overco...
