MONDAY & BEACH

Monday and Beach.
What has the monday after Resurrection Sunday got to do with beach?
Persons who have no share in the bounty of the Resurrection (but think they have cuz persons who shold know better have told them they have) and people who have been told you dont need to change your life now that you claim to have changed your heart (something prosperity and charismatic pastors love to teach) rush to the sea to do whatever is done at the beach in memory of the Resurrected Christ.

I'm not saying Beach (see, i evn made it big B) is bad for Christians (who am I to say that), I am only saying if they were Christians they would be home or somewhere worshipping God for killing and raising His Son for them rather than worshipping half naked bodies and the sand (is that what they really do?)
So these two groups (they who dont give a hoot about any Resurrected body and they who think its time to party more than the angels cuz of the Resurrection) flock to the beaches. I have the suspicion that there is a third group [when Christ rose hell burst open, every Christmas many 'people' come to town then get lost after, Easter may call the 'people' again - you get my drift?], but what am I but a fruitcake with a type pad!
So these three groups, or is it two, go to our beaches and leave us unadventurous folks at home or whatever wholesome activity we love to do in memory of His Resurrection (by then most have even forgotten whats so special about it that the Pastor was screaming his head off - but that is for those who attend Churches; another group wouldnt even know that He had to die for their sins in order to be Raised for their justification - this group only heard "since Christ is risen you dont need to be poor, you cant be sick, you can now travel to any country [they forget that such silly talk can make you also travel to Hell], and most of all you wont even die mpo).
When its evening then a new power of the Resurrection rears its head - a power no pastor talks about though it comes every year. The power of Transportation. Lorries, cycles, buses, feet all get active - some would ride goats if they can, anything to take them home. All non-station based cars go to the beaches making it almost impossible, no cancel the almost, impossible, yes IMPOSSIBLE for persons who didnt seek body-sand worship to go home. Its not so bad when you have to walk on our narrow foot paths with these sand worshippers too, at least they too bear the brunt of their worship.
Monday and Beach is a bad combination for a cocktail. I pray I am right, but hey I ask a lot, dont I?

God Esteem.

Have you ever wondered why there's so much confusion and disorder, lack of joy and peace, and lack of identity in the Church though there's so many books and sermons about self-identity, self-esteem, and discovering your potential and purpose. I do think much about it and I've come to the conclusion that God doesn't care most about our self-identity and esteem. I'm not saying He doesn't care, am saying He doesn't care MOST about us. The God of the Bible is so full of Himself that He does all things for Himself. He made you for Himself, He rescued you for Himself, He rescued you from Himself, He blesses you for His own sake. He does all He does for His own sake. Go through your Bible and you'll see that though He does things for His creation its all for His glory. He wouldn't be God if He cared for anything or anybody more than He cares for self. If God cares about Himself most and cares about you much, it stands to reason that you can only find ful...

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS

Like an eulogy at a funeral the book of Lamentations is meant to mourn a loss, the loss of a nation. Author, Recipients. Jeremiah, the author was of priestly descent and lived in the little village of Anathoth, a short distance north of Jerusalem. He was called whiles still young. The prophet’s call took place in the 13th year of the reign king Josiah, 626 B.C. and five years before the Book of the Law was found in the Temple. He is also the author of the book that bears his name, Jeremiah. The Prophet’s mission was a sad one; his office was like a minister obliged to accompany a criminal to the scaffold. Judah had disobeyed God and turned a death ear to all invitations and warnings to return; the end was approaching. Divisions. The book consist of five independent poems, each an expression of grief. It deals with the calamities that befell the people of Judah and Jerusalem in consequence of the siege and capture of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. I.     ...

Our Holy God Purges; Therefore It Will Come Out in His Fire

In Deuteronomy chapter 4 we find the phrase “ the Lord is a consuming fire .”  In that book the Lord had given His chosen people a law to obey. A law that was to save them, a law to enrich them, a law to make them inGodded, a law to make them the best of what a human can be. He gave them this law for he wanted a called-out people, a people who are counter culture, a people who are holy. After he had given his laws, he added the words “ I am a consuming fire and I am a jealous God therefore I will burn out against you if you do not follow my law .” In previous chapters, the writer gives the believer so much positive motivation to follow and obey Christ; you’ll think he’ll have no nee of negative motivation. Yet he talks of judgement and wrath. Take a look at some of the reasons he gives to help us stay faithful.  Remember that this time we are in the New Testament. The Old Testament was a ‘come and see’ religion. In the Old they had a written law on parchments that when di...
