THE BEST GIFT EVER GIVEN




THE BEST GIFT EVER GIVEN

Diamond, gold, silver and wisdom are good gifts
They can make even the worst pauper or even an idiot rich
Everybody desires to be rich
But diamond, gold, silver and wisdom are not the best of gifts.

It’s said in the Christian community that Jesus is God’s best gift to this world
It’s arguably also said that the Holy Spirit is Jesus’s best gift to his believers
Does it therefore mean that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are the best gifts ever given? No!
They are not the best gifts ever given because they’re given for a specific period.

God has given a better gift than Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
That gift is not only honoured on earth but in the heavens also
That gift is more eternal
That gift is given to people who please God in their life time
That gift was first given to Jesus Christ for his sacrifice for the world.

The best gift ever given is a good name              
A good name is always better than riches
That is why God gave Jesus the name that’s above all other names
At the mention of Jesus every knee bows and every tongue confesses
The best gift God desires to give to you is a good name, not riches!

SHOWERS OF HEAVEN – Daily Light Series 4




SHOWERS OF HEAVEN
– Daily Light Series 4

People who offend you can never rise above you in this life if you continue to love them.

The best way to respond to most foolish attitudes is silence.

The basis for the last day judgment is how we responded to God’s unconditional love, and how we demonstrated this love towards others.

The highest form of sound spirituality is when waiting upon or on God becomes a person’s lifestyle.

I am so glad to know that “the whole of life is spiritual, not just part of it.”

“My experience in ministry has taught me that those who profess to be Christians and yet deliberately absent themselves from fellowship with their brothers and sisters are the ones who are usually most in need of this fellowship” – Selwyn Hughes. I agree with Selwyn because his experience is a practical truth.

I agree with the assertion that there is nothing like a harsh or painful truth. Truth is indeed neither harsh nor painful; it may appear so because of how we say it.

THE FOUNDATION OF REAL GREAT NATIONS - JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SERIES - 1




THE FOUNDATION OF REAL GREAT NATIONS
JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SERIES - 1

The foundation of real great nations is righteousness and justice

Righteousness truly exalts a nation but it takes justice to preserve and enhance its greatness

Legal technicalities that breed injustice are enemies to justice

Justice is superior to prayers and sacrifices

Lawyers and judges who contribute to injustices are silent tyrants to their nations
 
The laws of every real great nation are pivoted on righteousness and justice

The evils in most nations are attributable to the fact that evil persons are successfully perverting and squeezing the axles of righteousness and justice

Justice likewise righteousness can never be bought although it may be perverted 

Righteousness is usually inward but justice is always outward

Rightness and justness are the doctrines of righteousness and justice

Unshakable kingdoms are founded on righteousness and justice

SHOWERS OF HEAVEN – Daily Light Series 3




SHOWERS OF HEAVEN
– Daily Light Series 3


    Most times, God allows us to wallow in our foolishness so that the difficulties that spring from it will trade off our ignorance and misconceptions of Him.
   
   The most ignorant, foolish and pitiable people on earth are those who depend on their material wealth to measure their worth. Real wise people always know that their worth must depend on godly virtues (emanating from their relationship with Jesus),  not on toys such as academic laurels, cars, houses, clothes, titles, and electronic devices.

   Antidote to divorce is striving to have an agreeing (consenting) relationship with your spouse.

    A comforter (helper) is a great blessing to an afflicted person.

   Almost all persons who approached Jesus during His earthly ministry sought from Him solutions to their problems. Jesus never turned His back on any of them but always offered them the solutions they needed. Could this be said of you?

     Spiritual pride is one of the tempting strategies of the devil.

   We must pay more attention to character than to appearance (dressing). Good appearance is godly and great but character is more important. There is no suitable substitute for it.
