Sexual Boundaries.

 Sexual Boundaries.  Sexual immorality is on the increase all over the world. Adultery is fast becoming the norm and some men of God are also joining the club, married men and women are not left out either, many are having secret lovers and emotional affairs are becoming the order of the day. The rate at which immorality is increasing is alarming! It is spreading fast into every nook and cranny and children are also being initiated into the club. It's no news to know that 8-10 years old kids now have sex with each other. Staying sexually pure these days is becoming a Herculean task. One of the reasons people fall flat into illicit sex is over confidence. WRONG BELIEFS The wrong belief that you can be free around the opposite sex and nothing would happen is a big lie from the pit of hell, that belief is meant to deceive people, a lot happens! One of the ways you can stay sexually pure whether married or single these end times is to set strict boundaries.  CARELESS...

Life in the Spirit

  Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. (NLT) Getting a school degree is great and all important, but there is more to life than the education of the mind. There's something more important than the education you recieve from the four wall of an academic institution; it's called spiritual education. For so many young people. having acquired an academic degree, they think that's all they need to be successful in life. While it's good to e formally educated, true success comes from the Spirit.  This accounts 

I have been there - Building up not Bullying!

Image
I must say, I have been there. For various reason been bullied and made fun off. Put down and treated ill. I was bullied, ragged and even made fun off. As a 2nd grade student I was bullied to be a weakling and pushed into the ditch and twisted my leg, and unable to get up sat throughout the day in that ditch waiting for my parents to come take me out. None of the school authorities ever knew or even realised my absence during the whole day and thereafter stayed back at home for months unable to walk. I have been through it, the shame, the pain, the humiliation and the rejection which amounted to a lot of low self esteem and self worth.  But I ask you to support and educate every person. Not only schools but even parents about the effects of bullying. Every parents and every  individual about the harm of eve-teasing, bullying and ragging.  Only you can stop the evil! I strongly believe that bullying does not start with a child at school. It starts with the paren...

The Jesus from Jewish perspective

John 1:17 New King James Version (NKJV) 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The Greek Philosophy and Hebrew Philosophy The Greek philosophy is to teach and to reason and see and believe in God. The Hebrew philosophy is to believe in God without seeing and without reasoning and believing in faith. The Law came through Moses. Torah was the written law of God. The major repositories of the Torah are the Written Laws of God. The Torah has been classified into two major sections. The Written Law of God i.e. the Pentateuch and the Oral Law of God found in the books known as the Mishnah in the “Tanakh”. How many laws of God are there? There are 613 Laws of God. The Talmud notes that the Hebrew numerical value (gematria) of the word " Torah " is 611 , and combining Moses's 611 commandments with the first two of the Ten Commandments which were the only ones heard directly from God, adds up to 613 .

Letting go

Letting go! There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds. She took them home and put them in a small glided cage. She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a marvellous song. The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted their singing to last forever. One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl watched anxiously as he circled high above her. She was so frightened that he would fly away and she would never see him again that as he flew close, she grasped at him wildly. She caught him in her fist. She clutched him tightly within her hand. Her heart gladened at her sucess in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate clutching love had killed him. She noticed the other bird teetering on the edg...

The Rainmaker

Little Angel! Little Johnny's new baby brother was screaming up a storm.  Johnny asked his mom, “Where’d he come from?”   “He came from heaven, Johnny.”  Johnny responded: “Wow! I can see why they threw him out!” James 5:17, 18 - Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.  1 kings 18:41 to 46 Biblical Data: The name means "Yhwh is (my) God," and is a confession that its bearer defended Yhwh against the worshipers of Baal and of other gods.

Relationship - Right speech

Relationships - RIGHT SPEECH Last session we learnt about not to overpower your spouse/partner in relationship. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered," You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's li...
