Image by Mescopaul's Blog &  Christian Forums Why did God choose Abraham to be the father of his people Israel? Certainly Abraham was not even righteous. He was known to be an idol worshiper in the Ur of the Chaldeans. In his wandering after God called him, he still had flaws in his life, bothering on lying, polygamy etc. Yet God did not unchoose him. Abraham’s life was not near a picture of perfection, yet God chose him, why? The only remarkable thing we see in Abraham’s life is his obedience and BELIEVE in God. This was what made him righteous – his believe, not his works. He had scores of unrighteous works, but he believed in God and was ready to obey God blindly. At that time, there were even persons and nations which knew God better than Abraham. Gerar was a righteous nation, and Abimelech was a righteous king; because he even queried God as to why God would destroy a righteous nation for nothing (Genesis 20:4) For him, he confessed tha...

Image by Mescopaul's Blog &  Arthive Two different personalities signifying two different people emerged from Adam and Eve. The first is the lineage of Cain. The second is that of Abel. Cain signified evil, hatred, anger, sin and a godless system. Abel signified purity, love for God, gentle and righteous, and a system that pledges allegiance to God. Once, Cain (the evil system) rose up against the good, and killed Abel, the righteous one. Abel was innocent, committed no crime, yet he died a cruel death. Seth replaced Abel, and sustained the righteous system that depended on God. Cain went out of the presence of God and we see how he began civilization and inventions without the God input. Cain is a system that does not answer to God. It is the world system. A Godless Civilization The following characterized the lineage of Cain. 1. The building of a city – Civilization. 2. Polygamy. 3. Tenth construction and large scale farming – herdsmen. ...

Image by Mescopaul's Blog - The Tree of the Soul-consciousness Many call it the tree of death, the Bible calls it the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In my own opinion, the tree or it's fruit wasn't the problem, that was not what made man or gave man the sin nature. Man got the sin nature not because they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but because they OBEYED Satan. Who you obey becomes your Lord, and the servant does not have a life of his own; he lives out the life of his master. So man got the nature of sin, not because he ate of a tree, but because he obeyed the devil, and so he became the servant of the devil in accordance to the spiritual law of 'becoming by obedience.' Soul-consciousness We (man) would still have eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (which I call the tree of the human/soul life). Being conscious of yourself or your soul is not the problem, God intended us to be, he had plans for that, Adam was no...

Image by  Thrive Global  - The Power of Choice; A Blessing or a Curse? Choice in itself is both a gift and a death sentence. We are given a will of our own. To know and do what we want to do, how we want to do it and when we want to do it. Our choices are not forced on us, we make them by our own sovereignty . Animals are not so lucky. They may have a will, but they don't have that freedom to do what they want, when they want and how they want. Plants are the "unluckiest" of all. They certainly have no will of their own and no choice of their own. Several factors determine their existence and death. A plant or rather a seed sown in a good soil with all conditions in place will invariably grow to become a tree, bear fruits and keep reproducing for as long as the conditions for its growth are still in place. It has no choice to DECIDE to stop bearing fruits, or to bear a different fruit or to change its location. It is a living thing, yet limited in it's pote...

The Australian Mega church, Hilsong Church is a very popular church across the country and the world. Their worship team, Hilsong Worship is very popular among young people. Throughout the times, Hilsong Worship has grown to become a huge multimillion band, and their songs are sung all across the continent. No doubts, their songs are very powerful and the inspirations are lively. However, Hilsong Church and the worship team has faced severe controversies all over the internet. Some argue the church is diabolic and has a connection to the worship of Satan. Others hold the view that the songs are directly inspired by the devil. But nonetheless, Hilsong Worship is still one of the finest worship team in the world, and their songs transform and bless lives the world over. In this article however, I want to reveal the meaning of the Album art of There Is More, Hillsong's 26th album, that was released this year. Due to the controversies surrounding Hilsong, enough eyebrows ha...

Did JESUS Die On Friday And Rose On Sunday? Does that sum up to '3 days in the heart of the earth' as Jesus said? What and why have we been made to believe this ancient lie? Keep reading to find out. Jesus explicitly said in the Holy scriptures: "As Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly", he said, "so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:38-40). Now, I suppose if you did your elementary right, 3 days and 3 nights would sum up to 72 hours. See this: 12 hours makes 1 day. 12 hours makes 1 night. Giving us 24 hours in what we call a day which is actually a day and a night. So, Jesus didn't leave us in the dark when he said 3 days and 3 nights, he was very specific. Since 12 hours = 1 day then, 3 days = 3 X 12 = 36 hours Also, 12 hours = 1 night then, 3 nights = 3 X 12 = 36 hours 36 + 36 = 72 hours. So, we are certain Jesus was in the earth for...

In this article, we'll be looking at how the fathers of faith in the time of the early church died.

A. Progressive Christians These type are those that make God proud. He looks at them and smiles, He has a sense of fatherhood in relation with them. They are so sincere, loyal and obedient. Little promptings from the Spirit are like loud commands in their ears. They never argue, or try to play smart. When they ere, they are so humbled and they kneel before Him and say "Father, can I ask for your forgiveness one more time?" B. Redundant Christians Yes, these are lords in the harvest, while the master is not honoured. Barking out instructions is what they relish most. They are always right, no matter what. They know it all. They feel they are too known to God, hence they can argue and give God conditions. These type mostly have been in church for donkeys of years. They hold key positions in the church. You find them mainly among the church elders, committee members, Pastors, deacons, overseers and bishops. Spiritual pride is intertwined in them. They are hard to ...

Pastor Chijioke, a Nigerian Pastor based in Kenya unknowingly shares with Hero 99.0Fm how he answered the 'call of God' on his life to establish his satanic ministry in Kenya.

How come evil thrives so magnificently in our society without anyone bathing an eyelid?  How come we have so many prophets, pastors, evangelists and apostles, yet all around us lie wickedness and abominations and we all are watching, arms akimbo? We bless God for the few legends of the faith who are really pulling weight spiritually. We still stand as a body and a nation today because of the existence of these spiritual giants. We pray they last long for us. There was a man that existed during the time of the captivity of the children of Israel and Judah, his name is Ezekiel. At his prophesy, the cauldrons and embodiment of evils in Judah fell down dead:   "Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people. Then said he unto me, Son of man, these ...

For long I turned over this question in my mind, but the answer kept staring at me each time I thought on it. Once, I decided the former was the answer but just like an inward jolt the later looked right to me at the same instant. First your best bet which was also mine was to ask someone else who you think would be in a position to help with the answer. I did just that. The answer was established but I wasn't convinced. Next, what I did was to lay the two impostors side by side and work out a careful examination on them. Do You Serve God Because You Love Him? On careful examination i discovered that the actual answer to this question was a big YES! , you do serve God because for sure you love Him. This love is not inborn, Gods love has since been ostracized from the human heart since the fall of man, hence this love can only find a way back into the human heart at the New Birth . Do You Love God Because You Serve Him? The answer is definitely a big NO! , but its ...

An energetic, dynamic and visionary woman, Abiodun Kumuyi, who was fondly called “Mummy” or “Mama” by members of the church, spear-headed the establishment of the Christian Women Mirror magazine. She used the magazine to teach women all they needed to know to be successful wives and mothers, accomplished and exemplary Christians and models of excellence. The magazine for which she was editor-in-chief until demise, has become so popular that it is circulating far and wide and is highly sought after by readers who are no longer restricted to women. Like every true child of God, she seemed to have had an inkling that the Almighty God was about to call her home. Speaking on the phone from her sick bed on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, she told her younger son, John: “This is the last stage”.
