The first and last time I visited the mortuary, I had to assess my Christianity.

The brevity of the human life. Full of life now, without life the next second, off to the mortuary the next minute whiles eternity awaits.

But these many bodies coming to the mortuary, did they...
...know the last hour was their final hour on earth?

Did they plan where they'd spend eternity?

What am I doing to assist those around me to make the right choice?

Many of them may have argued about the "silliness" of judgement after death but they're now there alone and...
won't be able to confirm or deny to those they argued with whiles on earth.

But at least I can help the one alive to make the right decision.

Am I just comfortable going to church, Spending hours in prayer or listening to all the messages?

"Well done, thou good and faithful...
...servant", what's it about? Prayer? Church attendance? Messages listened to? Or souls won into the Kingdom?

Living everyday without salvation is very risky.

Living everyday without giving someone the opportunity of salvation is equally risky.

Grow above the social media...
...bants and get on ground to tell someone about Jesus and His salvation plan for the lost.

There's no reward for social media bants but there's a reward for soul winning.

You got saved so you can help others to be saved. Don't reduce it to social media doctrinal arguments.
Jesus said, GO YE THEREFORE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19), will you?

A few references to inspire you:
John 3:16, Acts 4:12, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 1:16, Matthew 9:37, Revelation 20:10-15, Luke 19:10, Luke 15:7, Matthew 13:44, Romans 5:8

God bless you!

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR STUDYING THE BIBLE BY VERSE!

I received lots of messages from around the world on how to study the Bible using verses.

I.e. How to have a better understanding of a particular verse of scripture and I thought to share in this thread.
In this thread, you'll be informed on;
1. How to start studying a verse
2. How to connect it to other verses

For the purpose of this thread, we'll use Genesis 1:1 as case study.
1. CHOOSE THE VERSE!

As simple as this may sound, you have to be led by the Spirit to the right verse to study. Of course, you could also select a verse you believe you need more insight into.

Case study: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Today's a good day to share this secret!

It'll guide your walk with God and you'll get a better understanding of the kind of choices you make.

Matthew 4:1-11 talks about the 3 temptations of Jesus in the wilderness.

But do you know those temptations were just a refined form...
...of what happened in the garden of Eden?

Let's dig in!

The strategies of Satan hasn't changed over the period and that includes his temptations. He may disguise or refine them but it doesn't change and so Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 2:11 that, "Lest Satan should...
...get an advantage of us: for WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF HIS DEVICES."

The temptations of Satan to Jesus in the wilderness is the same temptation to Adam/Eve in the garden of eden, and it's the same to man today!

One of the things, as a Christian in these last days, you need to learn to do is fleeing from sexual immoral acts.

One time after praying for about 6 hours, a sister visits me and the next thing she stripped herself naked ready for me. Ei!

With all the adrenaline going...
...on, I gave an excuse to go buy a condom after talking her out didn't seem to work, and I ran away from the room till she left.

Why didn't I cast out the demon in her because the Bible didn't tell me to.

All the Bible told me was to flee and I fled, I'm a doer of the word!
Discipline yourself to flee!

Read about it!

Practice fleeing sessions!

Many men have fallen and keep falling because they're not disciplined enough to flee.

One of the major reasons it's difficult is because they watch the wrong materials.

The ability to flee isn't God's...
