LIFE

Image
Life was on a walk down the street It met with so many juicy opportunities Opportunities that makes one seem so relevant on Earth and not in heaven Opportunities that makes one sin against God and even Man. Life almost wanted to consider these opportunities But it thought about God What is God saying about this? And Life paused and said "What shall separate me from the love of Christ" Life was made up Life was focused on God On it's way,it met with Distraction Distraction tried convincing life It said to life"Enjoy when you are still alive" When you are dead,that's the end.

Text: matt9:20-22,mark5:25-34,luke8:43-48. Have you ever thought of the life the woman with the issue of blood would have lived for 12years? She was rejected,became an outcast (you will not want to sit beside her due to the odour). She spent all that she had so that she can get well but her case grew worse. She once thought of committing suicide,she hated herse...

DON'T LOOK BACK

*DONT LOOK BACK*  *TEXT: GEN19* Yielding to instructions is indispensable. Instructions can Make or Mar us depending on the personality of the instructor. In the book of Gen13:13, we were made to realise that the men of sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord. Infact the atrocities they committed was more than that which was committed in the days of Noah. And God was ready to destroy them.  *Don't look back* is a command that needs to be obeyed. In the case of lot and his family,they were actually in an unpleasant situation that required them to vacate the land of sodom immediately ,which they never planned for. They could not gather their properties. Even when they were told to leave the land of sodom,they lingered, they were relunctant .But the angel held their hands and led lot ,his wife and his two daughters out of the city of sodom and ordered them not to look back. In GEN19:24-26, we were made to understand that the Lord rained down burning sulphur on...
