BE ON YOUR GUARD AGAINST ALL KINDS OF GREED, A MAN'S LIFE DOES NOT CONSIST IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS POSSESSIONS

 In life we often over look the most important things and give importance to things that matter less.  Our lives are full of dissatisfaction always wanting to have more each day that passes by to the extent of exploiting others so that we can meet our desires and ambitions at the expense of others. Its always about us  and how we can enjoy life smoothly.  We tend to desire the best for ourselves not even willing to share the little  we have with others. We pile up things for ourselves  because we know that the more wealth we have the more secure we are and life easied for us. But Jesus called this kind of ambition greed and he warned us that we should be on our guard against all kinds of greed, a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions ( Luke 12:15). In other words, the more possessions you have does not grant you life. Life is a gift from God and we can't find it in our accumulation of possessions, you can't buy it with money ,its m...

HE WHO WANTS TO BE THE GREATEST SHOULD BE A SERVANT OF ALL.

 In this world the norm is that the servants those in low position are meant to serve the greatest but Jesus changed this perception when he highlighted that " HE WHO WANTS TO BE THE GREATEST SHOULD BE THE SERVANT OF ALL" . During the end times of his ministry when he had prepared them for service a dispute rose among them on who was to be the greatest among them. He listened to them intently and he gave them time to go through their topic . When they were through he called them to himself and asked them about what they were arguing about. Luke 22:24-27 gives more light about this all sense. LUKE 22:24-27   Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.  25  And He said to them,  “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’   26  But not so  among  you; on the contrary,   he who is greatest among you, let him b...

MY PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU

 John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  Ezekiel 37:26-27, “I will make a covenant of Peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God and they will my people.” Peace; what is Peace? And who is Peace?  The fall of man in Genesis chapter three opens the door to the truth about he secrets of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:7). And these are matters of the heart. Jesus said; the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy. But I have come that they may have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10).  When man sinned and disobeyed God, he became like what Ezekiel describes in Ezekiel 37 ‘a valley of bones’. God had instructed man not to ...
