"He whom Christ loved was sick..." (John 11:3). That I might know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings; being made conformable to his death" (Philippians 3:10). Strange talk, back there language. Maybe! Paul desired to know him and the power of his resurrection and why not? If you had knowledge of his resurrection you could know him. If however you had experience of his resurrection you could know Christ in You. I don't think we know the resurrection power in us and the reason is this. We are too much into our own "sufferings" encompassed by them, taken over by them. Me and my problems, me and my life, me and my hurts! When our sufferings consume us we become selfish, weak, miserable and blind. Isolated and self absorbed by our own pain and inadequacy. Its why folks don't get over a broken relationship. Its why some cant find it in them to get out of their own grave of past failure. Its why some women cant lo

ERE THE LAMP OF GOD WENT OUT IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD I Sam. 3:1-3 – “And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep.” Eli's eyes have gone dim. The revelation of the Lord no  longer shines in the temple. The lamp has gone out and there is no knowledge of God on the land. Oneness folks wonder they cant see any way forward. Apostolic folks wonder why there is no revival. Charismatic folks beg God for a move. All because our eyes have waxed dim. When our eyes wax dim its because our lamp (spirit) has gone out. The light we had no longer leads a way to Jesus. We preach on blessings, money, prosperity and personal success knowing not that our ey

A post in Christian apologetics groups stated "Salvation is not related to God!" This is my response. "The bible does reveal that God and salvation are one. God has become my light and salvation (Psalm 27;1) Jesus is salvation. Salvation is God coming to us. How does he come to us, as salvation! Only as salvation can man truly know God. Hence the reason for him coming as the man Jesus. (1 Tim 3:16)."

Dealing with Stuff of the heart DEAL WITH IT Take care of your day by taking control of your mouth. Refuse to talk about whats bad and whats behind. Of course you have to deal with it first. Get counsel talk it out of your system forgive the offender and make up where possible. Don't talk bad about folks who have hurt you, then the pain of their words wont live in your heart. A hot temper makes you a cold soul. Deal with your anger, angry people make foolish choices. Don't marry someone who has issues! Reject rejection. How? Accept that phone call and talk. If you play the avoidance game then rejection will take root and grow into a bitter fruit. Take responsibility for bad stuff. Admit its "my fault!" Even if it wasn't, take responsibility. If a marriage or a relationship failed you has something to do with it. Taking responsibility is good for your emotions and will put you in control. If you are playing the blame game, the blame you put on others will eventual
