THE CHARACTER OF LOVE 1..

The Bible talks a lot about the subject of love. This kind of Love is Agape (brotherly love). In a previous discourse, we shared about husbands loving their wives. The Bible further encourages the married couple to love one another..'Above all things have fervent love for one another for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). However, we are expected as Christians not to love only our

PROPHECY AND REVELATION...THE TREASURY OF HAIL

God to Job...'Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war? (Job 38: 22-23)

And when do you think the day of battle and war is? your guess is as good as mine...It was revealed to the apostle John in (Revelation 16:21) 'And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great'

LAMENTATIONS 3:40

 Any time we do wrong, our conscience pricks us and we know we have strayed from Gods way. So..

'Let us search out and examine our ways and turn back to the Lord' (Lamentations 3: 40)

For 'As I Live', says the Lord God, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and Live' (Ezekiel 33:11)

'HUSBANDS...LOVE YOUR WIVES'

I was at a men  fellowship some weeks back and we were sharing about the word in Ephesians (5:25) 'Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for her'. The Leader of the fellowship then asked a question to the assembly; 'To what extent should we as husbands love our wives'?..All the responses to the question asked were quite interesting but one of the responses was of particular note and i would like to share perhaps someone might find it valuable.

THANKSGIVING 2..'BUT WHERE ARE THE NINE' ?

There is a story in the bible about ten lepers who were cleansed by Jesus as he passed by Samaria and Galilee (see Luke 17:11-19). And it so happened that after they were cleansed only one returned to thank Jesus. And His response went thus; 'were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine? were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner? And he said to him, 'Arise, go your way, your faith has made you well' (Luke 17:17-19)

Dear Brothers, it is our obligation as believers to always give thanks to the Almighty, for this is a demonstration of our faith in God.

A PRAYER FOR EGYPT...

When I consider the current trend of events in Egypt and in some other parts of the world, i remember the words...

Behold the Lord rides on a swift cloud, and will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at his presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. 'I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, and everyone his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel. And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. And the Egyptians I will give into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them' says the Lord, the Lord of hosts (Isaiah 19:1-4)

Let us at this moment remember and pray for Egypt and indeed every other part of the world where strife, contentions, chaos, conflict and killings have taken the place of peace, wisdom, tranquility and brotherly love. We pray that the Knowledge and Mercy of the Most High God will come to these places. We pray for all the souls that have been lost, Children that have been turned to orphans, and the families that are suffering a lot of discomfort.

That the Good Lord will show Mercy, abundantly Pardon and Restore...

Amen
