Unfailing Words




At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
- Jeremiah 18:7-8.

God sent Jonah to Nineveh saying, repent from your evil, else destruction is looming. The King quickly declare a fast and they were preserved, when they repented or responded to the message.
But, what do you think the impenitent minds among them thought about the development when the 40days time frame came and passed, and nothing seemed to have happened? This is one of those fake prophet! Right?!
Would they have been spared had they not fasted and repented sincerely? The answer is no!
For fact this is one of the reason Jonah was unwilling to go deliver the message he was sent in the first place, he knew when the message is delivered and the people repented, God would spare them. If this happened, the people will not respect him or take him serious anymore. He wanted something to happen, so the people will know that he indeed was sent by God and a real prophet, Jonah 4:5. But, God cannot be moved by man or people's opinion, there is just one way to find out if it's from God or not; just don't respond to the message.

Most times people want to learn from their own experiences, this is too dangerous and maybe too costly to attempt, rather learn from others. I believe the King of Nineveh remembered what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. 
In some cases it may be the last and no more opportunity to make amend.

God loves us and have put in place everything we need to guide us through life. Ignoring His guiding principles, most times to our detriment.
He speaks to us through the Holy Bible and through many other ways that we can understand. We must ignore his rebuke, because He is not going to force anyone, Revelation 3:20,
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

I sincerely believe this is for someone today, stay blessed and experience God goodness. Have a fruitful week!

Jesus is Lord!

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

He Is Risen!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 Why seek the living among the dead? He is no longer in the grave, He is risen! Hallelujah!!! Jesus triumph over Satan, and handled you and me the victory, like we did it. Are you in Christ Jesus? You're no longer numbered with the dead. You're now alive and separated unto God in Him. Jesus did it just for you, therefore let no condemnation temper with your joy. Jesus is Lord!
