This month celebrations for United Nations Day brings a message of unity and peace. Knowingly, tensions rises over China and nearby Asian countries because of territorial disputes. A questioned came-up in my mind thinking of why not talking peacefully and discuss the most and friendliest manner to address the problem. We are in the same world, we are all humans and we are all members of United Nations. Hoping and praying for peaceful solutions.
Month: October 2014
United Nations costumes
My daughter and nephew with their costume in United Nations Celebration at school. They represented the country USA and CHINA. I am happy to witness their performances and they really behaved well. I really love this celebration, it teaches children the essence of patronization and love the country and its culture around the globe. We may have different culture, bringing ups, languages but we all all human beings and we must come together as one. Lets build each other and help each other for the betterment of our beloved earth.
Give our selves
The change of the whole world will start not to our leaders but changes must start within our selves. Even how many leaders will stand before us and sit their thrones for us, changes of the society will not happen unless we our selves individually offer our life and willingly and voluntarily give our selves. Think globally by acting locally. Let us celebrate the United Nations Day.
I saw the needs
As an instructor of Igbi I saw the needs of the bible school students, they really wanted to finish their studies but many of them lack of financial support. Today is their examination day but almost fifty percent of them haven’t attended the exam because they were not able to pay their obligation and tuition fees. Sad but I know you can make it guy sooner. As your teacher, I will just impose our rules but as a brothers and sisters of Christ I will pray for you and help as much as I can.
He knows everything
God really knows everything, even the smallest details of our life God knew exactly. Our houses surrounded with different kinds of birds and I wasn’t able to see or even observed any birds that flies freely that are starving for death. God feed them for sure to keep them alive and preserved. If God can do these things for them how much more to us? We are humans and created by God, a highest form of Gods creation. Therefore believed God and allow Him to work with our life. Just remain faithful and obey Him completely.
In His time
My daughter once asked me to buy her violin and sad to say that I don’t have budget to it as of these days because I have so many priorities, obligations to attend first. One of my friend recommend me a site where I can choose variety of instruments like violin in http://www.musiciansfriend.com. Maybe next year I will buy what she asked for. I hope and pray that God would grant my request and give the favor to me. Lord I know you are in control. Nothing is impossible to you.
What should I do?
What should we do? First we have to understand that God loves you, and He died at the cross for you and me to save us from the penalty of sin, and was buried but resurrected to give us hope. Next, we must have an understanding that faith in Christ leads us for salvation of our souls and this is a gift from God as stated in Ephesians 2:8, and also in Romans 10:9 say “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.”
How can I?
How can we obtain salvation for our souls?
Good works or by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul was so bold in his preaching, in his epistle in Eph 2:8 “for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
V.9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
v.10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. “In this passage it clearly emphasized that salvation of our souls requires by faith alone.
Does this passage contradict to what he says in James 2: 26 that says, for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. The answer is big no! Apostle Paul clearly explains how a person can be saved in Gods point of view while James tells on how to prove in the sight of men, that’s why if we will try to see the context of James chapter 2, states the following; in verse 16, note the phrase “If one of you, in verse 18 a phrase that says “Show me your faith” this statement of James seeks justifications in the sight of men. Theologically, Justifications connected to the topic of salvation of souls which explains the two different ways of justification stated in the bible. First justification in the sight of God that requires by faith alone in Him and justification in the sight of men that requires evidence of faith by what we did. A concrete illustration is like a coin that has two faces. Justification explains the same.
Very amazing
Musical instruments today rises with many styles. Makers are trying to make their stuff more beautiful than others. They compete with one another. I saw epiphone es 339 pro review very amazing and wonderful and hoping to collect this stuff soon as possible. The more beautiful your music stuff the more beautiful sound it produce. Of course we cant deny the fact that might be a stuff is quite expensive, but I’m sure I can guarantee the durability of the brand.
Destiny
For most of the I spent outside for evangelism and discipleship. Many people responded but many also neglected, this how I felt bad for those who neglected Jesus as their personal savior and Lord, because I knew of their destiny, their life in the future based on what the bible is saying. Surely they will go to the Lake of fire. Lord I pray that you will give me a reason and a heart to continue and have a desire in my heart of telling the people who you are to us.
