OUR HOPE STANDS SURE IN CHRIST BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 1Corinthians 15:19

We have a hope in Christ in this life and in the age to come. We are not of this world. We are not of this era. Though we are present here, we know we are here temporarily. We are aware our species is not for this place eternally.

For the Lord shall come in a short while for us. He has gone ahead to prepare us a place.

It has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we have the hope that we shall be like Him when we see Him and those who have this hope in them purify themselves, just as He is pure. 1John 3:2-3.

In that place, nothing unclean shall enter. Nothing vile shall creep in for He who dwells there is Holy, so also are those who must enter there.

In that place, there shall be no remembrance of past failures, turmoils or any evil for He shall make all things new. In that place, there shall be no remembrance of class assignment, worries and cares. Tears shall be wiped away.

Glory! We shall see Daddy Paul, we shall see Uncle Peter and all the Apostles who were faithful to the end. We shall see the father of faith, Father Abraham and all other patriarchs of faith. Jesus, we shall behold face to face. What a great joy that fills my heart. We shall see the Almighty God who hides Himself in Light. We shall see Him face to face.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Transformation must happen to us as we behold Him in the word so that we may be just like Him when He appears and so that we may not be ashamed when we see Him.

How expectant are you? We can't afford to be idle because He is coming for us. Foolishness is far from us as Christ's brides. We know we are only here for a moment, therefore we can't be carried away. We are waiting for the bridegroom.

This hope fills our hearts with joy because we are not going to be here forever. Though we know He is coming back for us, we are not going to meet him as victims of life but as victors whom He has made us to be. We won't be irrelevant here while waiting for Him. We shall occupy till He comes.

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy. I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me. So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms. For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things. A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT A whole lot of things must have been conceived in your mind before indulging in sex. That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out. Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please. 1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously. 2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray. CAUTION: Don't pray amiss. The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right? God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning. When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
