AWAKE, AWAKE ,AWAKE

  Solemnly and slowly, with his index finger extended, Napoleon Bonaparte outlined a great stretch of country on a map of the world. "There," he growled, "is a sleeping giant. Let him sleep! If he wakes, he will shake the world." That sleeping giant was China. Today, Bonaparte's prophecy of some one hundred and fifty years ago makes sense.

  Today Lucifer is probably surveying the church just as Bonaparte did China. One can almost behold the fear in his eyes as he thinks of the Church's unmeasured potential and growls, "Let the Church sleep! If she wakes, she will shake the world." Is not the Church the sleeping giant of today?

ENGIMA of TIME : Christian perspective

Nothing but time has changed
Nothing but time changes
Nothing changes time
But time changes things


There comes a time
When time and eternity will meet
Then time will be no more
But our dealings with time
In time's past, will tell
Where we'll spend all of time


What will your time say to eternity?


   A new year; a month, a new day, we all relish that air of newness. Another chance, to start afresh, to be better, to do better .But what's all the fuss about? All that changed was the position of the fingers of the clock and a combination of digits we call date. So what's new about that? What makes the difference?
   Time: If time does not change then nothing else will. Babies would never grow up, buds would never grow up, buds wouldn't bloom in the flowers  and day would last all night. But time opportunes (a) change
    As we daily make choices we make room for changes good /bad .
    However before a change comes a choice; God created good, we chose bad , so he gave us time to choose Christ that through him we may be better. Its a thing called GRACE. The gift from God, the sacrifice of his only son,JESUS CHRIST, on the cross of calvary. Love for us took him up on that cross in time that we may in grace choose him, be changed within and live for and with him eternally. He went up with love and life but by the end of time, He'll be coming down with wrath, judgement and death.
    Here is the quirk; time flies and will soon be gone, we won't have forever to choose, just time
     "And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and sware by him that liveth forever and ever that there should be time no longer" Revelation 10 vs 5
     All that will be left is one timeless eternity and the changes made in time will determine our eternity (heaven or hell).
     We can only be sure of this moment not the next, we may choose to waste time, ignore grace and spit upon the sacrifice of Christ on calvary or to choose Christ embrace the cross and allow Christ to change us from within.
    TIME IS YOUR CHANCE FOR A CHANGE , BUT FIRST A CHOICE. CHOOSE NOW, CHOOSE WISELY

NOT GOING BACK

The flesh desires

The world entices

Friends persuade me

Foes trick me

Devil tempts me

Not going back

In trials and temptations

Despite discouragement and despair

In tribulation and persecution

Still not going back

Heaven ahead of me

on the narrow way

Holy Spirit in me

Jesus by my side

Brethren all around me

Definitely not going back


  In Hebrews 10 vs 38 the bible makes us to know " if any man draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him"
which shows God is not happy with backsliders, many of us attend churches where your pastor says "God is love " he doesn't care whether you sin or not.
 Know this day that no unclean thing shall enter heaven. Remember Demas and Judas
 .Only  he/she that endures to the end shall be saved
 study your bible, pray and watch for ye know not what hour the son of man will come  back
have this promise in your mind.. Jude vs 24  ....now unto him that his able to keep you from falling and present you faultless before the presence of his glory............. .
 God will keep you  In Jesus name
