Chronicles of some righteous ruff riders.






Acts 4:1-20
You can know the word, but you have to put the word to work. Sometimes we don’t know the power invested in ourselves if we don’t work that work.

The book of acts is the recording of the Jesus movement. It represented Christ and empowers those who are on the mandate. Acts 1:8

In Acts chapter 2, he put the word to work. In chapter 3, Peter had an opportunity to put the word to work. Whenever Gods gives you the work, he gives you an opportunity to put the word to work, if only you can let your weakness shine bright like a diamond.

Chapter 4 , Peter and John, got confronted by the priest, saducces, got arrested, because the saducces can’t make the people unsee what they saw, or unhear what they heard. The got arrested because the sadducces don’t believe in the resurrection of the dead, they only believe in the first five books and they only believe

Don’t only know the word, live out the word. Put the word to work. People know you, respect you but don’t know the God within you. Don’t think you have to do your work at church. Most of the miracles performed by Jesus wasn’t in the temple. It was on the streets. Let people be able to know you by the word that you reflect.
Don’t be an Opaque object. Reflect brightly

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperience...

If God had no TIME.....

Image
I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where...

Self Control

Happy Sunday guys!!. Today, I will be writing about what I learnt in church today. I learnt about the fruit of the spirit called Self control. In other bible versions, it can also be called temperance or control over desires. Now, Let's turn into the scriptures Gal 5: 22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,peace,forbearance,kindness,goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV) In our daily lives, we have needs and wants. sometimes we step into a grocery store and even buy things that we really don't need. Sometimes we see them and we are like "I don't need this" or " I didn't plan for it". Other times, we are like "let me buy it, it shouldn't hurt". so we really need self control in our day to day activities. The ability to put your desires under check is self control. One interesting thing about self control is that you need it more in difficult situations. Self cont...
