May I use this opportunity to welcome you to my blog. In this maiden edition, I want to introduce myself to you. I am the Pastor of a vibrant and growing church located at Ibadan, Nigeria. The name of the Church is Christ the Dayspring Church. This blog post is primarily for believers in Christ Jesus. Those who are passionate to see God's glory in manifestation in their lives and our time.I will be sharing with you truths from The Bible, thought provoking comments from other blog posts and materials which are spiritually edifying for The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ today.
The Bible says we are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. As light, we illuminate the darkness around us and make manifest the deeds of darkness, exposing the evil works of Satan and stopping the advancement of the kingdom of darkness, As salt, we preserve this world from rot and consequent destruction, or at least keep it at bay until the Work of God on Earth is done.
We are in a time unlike any other in the history of mankind. The very atmosphere over our heads testify to this fact. Unfolding world events daily attest to it also, that times have changed. Never before in the history of our world has there been such a hunger for solutions to the myriad of problems humanity faces today. It just appears that a power beyond us is all out to devour us and completely annihilate the human race. But will it happen this way? Is there a solution? What does the Bible say about all these?
The time we are in now is described in the Bible as both "Great" and Terrible". Great for the believers who would continue in all they've learnt from God, daily striving to follow God as they are led by Him, through His Spirit and His Word; but terrible, first for the believer who just pays lip service to the things of God, not putting into practice or doing what the Word of God says. Secondly, it will be terrible for those who have not yet made Jesus the Lord of their lives and so have kept on living as if God is non-existent.
It is very important to serve God at this time with all we've got, knowing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Do you have a local church where you worship and serve God? If so, continue and keep rendering your service to God and His people there. If not, pray about it and let God guide you to a place where you will serve God, learn more and grow up spiritually.
Before I conclude these opening statements, I'd like you to read and meditate on the Zechariah 10:1 and post your thoughts and comments. The Lord bless you.
Do you find time to read and meditate on God's word daily. It is a HABIT you MUST cultivate as a christian. There is a site I'd like to introduce to you where you can develope and maintain this habit. You can even read your Bible on your mobile phone. It is youversion. Visit this site today.
This is an opportunity that is difficult to come by coupled with the undiluted word of God direct from the throne of Grace....I pray that we believers who are the immediate beneficiary are practical doers and not just hearers alone. May God bless you and renew your strength..
