TRUTH BE TOLD, I AM NOT PERFECT!

As a born again Christian and a disciple of Christ, I have come to understand and feel the ridicule that I used to pour out on believers prior to my transformation. I used to make fun of tongue-speaking, and Holy ghost filled born again Christians, seeking out any slightest chance to call them names like "Hypocrites", "dull", "archaic", etc. I expected every self acclaimed believer to be perfect in their deeds and actions. There was no room for excuses or mistakes. Now, I know better that you don't have to be perfect to love Jesus. In fact, the more imperfect you are, the more visible His perfection through you. Truth be told, I am not perfect as a believer, and if you are looking for the perfect one? I guess you have to look to Jesus as your role model. I am only loving my Jesus, and I am sensible enough to know that when you truly love someone, you don't intentionally do things to hurt them. Therefore I believe it is high time for people to stop judging Church folks because of a misconstrued perception that Church folks are supposed to be perfect, righteous, holy, non-faltering, and never-making mistakes- individuals. The fact is, in retrospect Church folks (believers, born-again Christians) are the most imperfect people on the face of the earth, but with a difference. The difference being that we realize our weaknesses, our imperfections, our unworthiness, our nothingness, and our in-capabilities. Therefore we chose to lean on the everlasting love, mercy, and grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. You can also join us in this effortless entitlement of grace, if you have not experienced the redeeming and saving power of Jesus.

You can say this prayer:

 Oh Lord Jesus, I want to experience your love and mercy in my life from this day forth. I confess that I am a sinner, and I ask you to forgive me for all my sins, I also ask that you may accept me into your fold as a part of your body. Let me experience every gift that you offered through your death and resurrection, the abundant life that you came to give and an everlasting relationship with you. Thank you for loving me even when I did not know you, and thank you for accepting me. Now I confess, I am a new creation in Christ through His blood sacrifice. Amen.

THE FALLING AWAY

 As darkness increases in the world, the bearers of light are supposed to even become more illuminated and visible, but for some explainable reason some of the bearers of light are are beginning to fall away. The explainable reason some believers are indirectly denying Christ and joining forces with the kingdom of darkness is because they have fallen into the snare of deception. We were forewarned about the man of lawlessness who shall bring about the falling away (read 2 Thessalonians 2), and Christ Himself informed us in Matthew 24:24 that if possible the elect shall fall into the snare of deception by the false christs and false prophets. There is alarming proliferation of false prophets everywhere, working hand in glove with the false christ, and the true Bride of Christ needs to be on the alert. This is not the time for us to be ensnared by church theatrics or prowess, let us get into the habit of testing every spirit as we were instructed in 1 John 4:1, even in our personal l...

THE FIRST GOOD FRIDAY!

Today is an ordinary Friday in the lives of many, just as it were in the lives of many on that day. The day that heaven and earth bore witness to the greatest love ever. Today is Good Friday as designated by the Christian faith and observed by many believers around the world. We in the Christendom mark the Passion of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the bedrock of our belief. This Good Friday is reminiscence of the first Good Friday as the scripture has it in John 1:11 that "He came to his own, and  his own received him not", yes they received him not because they were not sure of who he really was. Well, even after two thousand years, many people have not received him because they are still not sure of who he really is, but only time will tell and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST is indeed who he says he is. Thankfully for me and many other believers on the face of the earth, we believe that he is who he says he is, THE SON OF GOD, THE LAMB OF GOD, T...
