The Four Abilities of God Needed For a Turn Around

The reason people troop to the wrong places looking for answers to the various questions that life asked them is because many do not understand the ability of the Almighty God to save through Christ Jesus. Many have been duped, raped, destroyed and plundered because instead of coming to God who can truly save, they were deceived by people, personalities and powers claiming to offer solution. 
God in Himself has several abilities that He has manifested at various times and I will just discuss shortly four out of the many needed to turn the situation of any man around:

(1) Ability to Reconcile Man Back To Himself - "And you who were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled" (Col1:21). After the fall of man through sin in the beginning, a vacuum was created on his inside. Since then man has been wallowing not knowing that the missing link in peace with God. That explains the several religions of the world; man can't exist without worshiping something. He must idolize something in order to temporary fill the vacuum inside. For Adam and Eve they tried to cover their own emptiness with leaves yet it could not help until God shed the blood of an animal and clothed them with its skin.
A minister shared with us how he was called to minister to a man wailing and agonizing on his hospital bed. He was already feeling the agony of hell while still clinging to life. This minister tried to preach to this agonizing man of God's love and ability to reconcile man no matter the weight of his sins yet the man was saying I have committed so much atrocities and God cannot forgive me. The minister struggled with that man until he finally died. He died and went to hell not because God has not saved us but because of lack of understanding that one of God's ability is reconciliation. Angels wonder why God is so mindful of man that God could give himself as a sacrifice for man's redemption. I too wonder so. But I guess it is because of God's investment in man. He made man in His own image. He breathed into man His own breath; that is to say He poured His own soul into man. That is why God can go to any length to restore man and reconcile him back to himself. He simply loves man and that explains it best.
Many do not believe in this ability of God so they die pursuing vain passion and religion. They keep playing religion thinking it is their own sacrifice that will earn them salvation. But the weight of man's fall is so much that no man's sacrifice or piety or religion can save him. It can only come from a sheep without blemish. It can only come from a man in whom is no sin. That is why Jesus, a man who knew no sin died that we who believe may become God's righteousness.

GO BY HIS POWER

  GO BY HIS POWER Scriptural Highlight: (Philippians 4:13 ESV) - "For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God has the ability to empower you to do any assignment for His kingdom. Being a disciple for Christ requires extraordinary strength and power. Bible admonishes us in Ephesians 6:11-12 to: " Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." From this scripture, we see that evil have forces that enforce its influence over people. Merriam Webster' Dictionary defines an aspect of force as "a body (as of troops or ships) assigned to a military purpose". So the spiritual forces we saw in Ephesians 6:12 have one purpose, and that is to make sure that evil is reigning in the ...

What Image are you carrying?

Scriptural Highlight: ( Genesis 5:3 ) - "When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth." Our scriptural highlight for today is about the generations of Adam after creation. Reading down from verses 1 and  2 of this Genesis chapter 5, we can see that when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Man was made in God's image; and as God's image was meant to reproduce God's image as well. You can say that man was god on earth. Man operated in a realm higher than any other creature. Man was in a class of his own. Man remained God's image until he disobeyed God. From our scriptural highlight today, what we see is that when Abraham had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image. What happened to the image and likeness of God in which he was created? It has been lost through sin. The nature he now carried was his own image and not God's.  His own offspring ...

Your Kidney Deserves The Best (Re-Post)

Barely two (2) days ago, we all received the news of the demise of a Nigerian actor as a result of same kidney disease. I want to show you how to avert this menace of kidney disease. Very easy and effective. And don't forget that I copied it. So feel free to share, copy and disseminate. SO HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSE OF KIDNEY DISEASE: 1. Delaying going to a toilet Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible. 2. Eating too much salt,You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily. 3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destru...
