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?

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.     ...

An Allegorical Re-interpretation of the Book of Ruth in light of the Present Day Inattentiveness of the Church to the Great Commission.

“Now it came to pass in the days when the Judges ruled there was famine in the land………” It is not the mandate of Judges to rule, but rather to carry out the decrees of Kings. Yet, in the time of this story, Judges ruled in the land of Israel. Their ruler ship brought about famine in the house of bread, their rule brought about lack in the place of fruitfulness.      We need to understand that when kings refuse to do their duty – which is to rule - there will always be famine in the land. Anytime there is famine in any area of life, it signifies a break in ruler ship. God created us in such a way that we always need an external agent to help us enforce even that which is for our own good.  The Church has been made an agent of reconciliation [1] , because in this age of the New Covenant, we are the Kings [2]  and if we refuse to rule, ‘strangers’ to the throne will rule. We also need to know that the Church is our Bethlehem. It’s only in the Churc...

He's Responsible.

Jeremiah 31:28 - And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the LORD. IF YOU HATE YOUR LOT IN LIFE GO TO HIM. YOU'VE FOUGHT THE DEVIL FOR SO LONG AND IT HASN'T WORKED. GET WISE, CHANGE YOU BATTLE PLAN. The real battle is for the mind. Bad preaching has allowed the devil to win. What we need to do is take captive every thought and submit it to the LORDSHIP of Christ. That includes the thoughts that say " my problem isn't from God, it passed by Him, and the devil must pay." I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I have to if I love you. A wise man has said 'he who loves you is he who tells you the most truth.' The Christian God claims sole responsibility for whatever happens, evil doesn't originate from Him but He sanctions it, the devil can't be punished more for he's already received a just punishment ...
