- God’s Not Dead

“Our Father which art in heaven…” (Matthew 6:9)

All through His sermons, Jesus reminded us that we have a Father in heaven. The question then becomes why He consistently did this? The answer is simple. Jesus knew with time men will begin to doubt that God existed. As a whole generation of mankind did in the beginning (Judges 21:25). Many did in His own time, but He also knew that with the increase in knowledge many men will conclude themselves as God, leaving room for no Father in heaven.

Look around you. Everything men predicted in the early 70s, 80s and 90s are happening. With the development of Artificial Intelligence, we would soon be leaving in a world run by robots. So the mind begins to think “if this is happening, then is God really real?” Many are already thinking it; maybe you are too. But listen, God is real. He knew this would happen; so Jesus told us knowledge will increase and the love of many will wax cold (Matthew 24). Greater and more wonderful things are soon to come, but none can eliminate the existence of God.

You see, in reality, this period is the biggest opportunity atheism has to expand, yet it can’t win the whole world because its disciples can’t completely convince men that there is no God. Here’s how that works: the winning move for atheism would be the invention of time travel in addition to all of this, because that would completely obliterate the existence and notion of a God in whom time exists, or at least connote that He is dead. But that will never happen, because God is not dead. He is real. He is here. In everything we do. We feel Him within us as His children; and so you must never let anyone deceive you.

It’s on you now to hold on to this belief. These folks will only grow stronger in their theories, and God will let them because the times demand it. You see, God’s fearsome power isn’t in His ability to do things, but in His ability to let things. He prepared the script and as seen in the book of The Revelations He would ensure it all occurs as planned. But like I said, all you have to do is stay knowing that you have a Father in heaven, and that He loves you, and that no matter what may be or might still happen in this world, He’s never going to stop being God. Because He’s not dead; He’s real and HE loves you, so much that He’d promised to reveal Himself to you always (John 14:21). Remember that.

      It's so so good to hear that you're are back stronger Kirsten. Now in the words of Christ to Peter, I say to you: seeing that you've been converted (made stronger), see to it that as you've always done you help others stay converted and stronger. And I'm certain you will Kirs, I'm certain.

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
