Our new garment in 2019

Happy new year everyone!
I congratulate everyone that crossed over to this new year, and I pray that the grace of the Almighty God will continue to direct your paths this year.
I could remember that young boy with a bright future. He was very intelligent, his academic scores were excellent, his was full of life, everything about him was just going fine and he was happy. It was unbelievable and a rude shock to me when the news of his demise got to me on easter Sunday 2018. I was unstable and I asked, " what happened to that handsome and happy boy? A boy full of life, no one saw his death coming, no one expected it, but the fact is that he is gone.
Now we have crossed over to the new year, and we pray and ask for prosperity and developments in every aspect of our life, and we ignore the most important aspect of our lives. We see it as old fashioned or that we are still young for that, or that we know that it is important but we keep it aside till we achieve our ambitions.  That ignored part of our life... is the soul. Life does not end in this earth, after death we journey beyond the shores to a place where we are judged of  and get the reward for the life we lived on earth. Saved souls make it to heaven but dirty souls make to hell. Who knows where my friend is receiving his reward.
Death is a respecter of no man, no matter the age or colour. And the coming of our lord Jesus is near. Now that we have crossed into the new year, will you allow the soul to remain in the darkness or will you expose it to the light of our lord Jesus Christ. Many distractions are out there and we can't imagine leaving them to follow the lord. Things like clubbing, premarital sex, lies, cultism, envy, stealing etc. But the lord in the Bible said, that which is highly esteemed among men is abominable unto God. All things in this earth will perish. What will it profit if a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Life on earth is very short, and I can't sacrifice few years for eternity. I don't want to spend eternity in hell.
Now, my fellow youths living in sin, sin profits us nothing but it will continue to make us enemies of God. If not for the death of Jesus Christ, men would have perish. But he died on the cross to redeem us from our sins. Now we have crossed into the year, are we going to make plans for our progress in life and forget about our souls. No, it is not wise. To assure ourselves heaven, our souls need to walk in the light of our lord Jesus Christ. Heaven is a nice place to be. Don't think you are too young to serve God. Every seconds count, that you are alive today doesn't mean you will be alive tomorrow. Caring for your soul today is a rewarding action to take. As we make plans for our prosperity, our souls should not be excluded.
How can we care for our soul?
The only way to care for soul and assure ourselves heaven at last, is to repent of our sins and ask forgiveness from the lord Jesus. And he will forgive you. The sins of last year that kept our souls in  darkness: lying, fornication, malice, envy, stealing, killing, homosexuality, anger, hatred, etc. As youths jettison this sins and their destrictive pleasures. First, believe that Jesus died to save you from your sins, confess your sins to him, ask him to forgive you of your sins, and invite Jesus to come into your life and take

The covenant we ought to make (meat for the soul)

What is covenant? Covenant is an agreement, either between people, or between God and a person or a group of people. When we deliberate deeply on our lives, we realize that most of our relationships with people involves a covenant, and we may be conscious or unconscious about it. In fact, the life we are living in our societies today is a covenant. People are getting along today because everyone is keeping his or her own part of the covenant. For instance, as a normal citizen of a state, you adhere to the laws and customs of the state, and the state in turn protects your rights as a citizen and provide social amenities for you. This is an example of a covenant. You are keeping your own part of the covenant by abiding to the laws of the state, and the state will keep its own part by protecting your rights as an abiding citizen whenever it is infringed on. You can see that there is an agreement. What is the purpose of this agreement between the state and the citizen? The purpose of th...

Let's reciprocate his love

This new year, we should avoid requesting for love and blessings without any plans on how to reciprocate such love. As we have crossed over into the new year, we look onto God and pray for healing, prosperity, progress, success, provision, happiness, wealth, and lots more. All these things we demand are what will make us happy, but we don't care about how to make the one that gives us all these things happy. Many don't care about the happiness of God; they do the will of men and not the will of God. This year, as we demand blessings from God, let us endeavor to make him happy also. The peculiar thing about the love of God is that he loves every one even those that are living in sin, he still loves them. But his pain is that sinners won't be able to make Heaven, because Heaven can never accommodate unrighteous people. You know how it feels when a man loves his wife dearly, and his wife fails to give him attention. It makes the husband unhappy, but he continues to endure and...
