”Agape”, God’s unconditional Love.

”Agape”, God’s unconditional Love .    1st John 4 vs 19:   We love Him, because He first loved us.             When people puzzle over the mysteries of life, one of the deepest is the question of why anything exist at all. Why is there something rather than nothing? The Bible one-word answer to that question is LOVE. God's love is the power that called the universe into being. Love is the compelling force of our existence, the answer to why we were born. God, who is love, created us from love, for love,  to love. Love is the very nature of God and desires it to be the nature of people as well. His greatest command for us - to love Him and others and experience joyful relationships from that love.              The Greek word for LOVE is “Agape” signifying God’s unconditional love. Agape means affection, benevolence and good will. Agape Love is not merely a feeling, it’s a strong affection...

The Mind of Christ

    The Mind of Christ Philippians 2 :5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus". NKJV                    In this passage we are encouraged to have the mind of Christ. One may wonder, why does Paul encourage us to have the mind of Christ? What the significance of the mind? Brethren, the battle of life is the battle of the mind. Each day there is a battle raging between the forces of light and forces of darkness to take absolute control of your mind. Why? The emphatic truth is that whoever or whatsoever controls your mind controls your life.                  A person's mind is the garden where seeds are sown, and from which yields every thought, action, habit, and character . As it is commonly said "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny". Sata...

Abiding in Christ

Abiding in Christ Pay keen attention to Jesus' words in John 15 vs 5: “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing”.           The allegorical references Jesus assigns to himself as the vine and to us Christians as fruit bearing branches demands our ultimate attention. Jesus is the vine, the true source of our freedom, joy, peace and without Him, we can do nothing. He promised us that if we remain in Him, our lives will produce much fruits. If we stay connected to Him, He will supply everything we need to live an impactful life. He emphatically encourages us to remain in Him, as remaining in Him is crucial to the vitality of our lives and fulfilling our destiny. He is the only true vine; hence we must DAILY receive nourishment from Him to become and stay fruitful.                     In John 15:5, Jesus clear...

Created for Purpose

                                                                                                                                Created for Purpose Jeremiah 1 vs 5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart.”               No human being on earth is a mistake. We were sent here to do something valuable. God has something needed to be done that made you necessary. Unfortunately, the average human being doesn't know why they exist. They wake up every morning going to job they hate, working with people they don’t li...

Amazing Grace

  Amazing Grace 2 Corinthians 12:9               But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"..               We often think God is only interested in good people. Those whom we perceive as having it all together, who don’t make mistakes, and never give in to temptation. The truth is, it’s just the opposite. When you blow it, God doesn't turn away from you, He actually turns towards you. The parable of the good shepherd personifies how Jesus tirelessly pursues us. Religious practices believe solely in the principle of ONLY your good works will save you. Religion says ONLY your best possible effort would reach God. Grace says I have worked all the work for you, and I am now reaching out to you to give you a prosperous, successful life without shame and guilt (3rd John 2). Grace says I have already made ...

WHO AM I?

                                                            Who Am I? Psalm 8 vs 4- 5                                What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God (Elohim). (AMP)            There are certain questions that troubles us, questions that we face great difficulty in answering. One of them if not the most difficult question in life is the question of Identity,   WHO AM I? Each human being on earth; approximately 8.1 billion people in the world is UNIQUE and is not a mistake. However, people spend their lives trying to answer, “Who Am I?” T his question is so important ...

Roosevelt once said, “Modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with the lives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and not of it.” The world’s political ambiance has been changing drastically following immense disparities among countries. While some political leaders are calling for walls and borders, many still believe that a globalized community is the way forwar...

Healthcare a Fundamental Human Right

                                           Healthcare a Fundamental Human Right Healthcare and medicine is an all-embracing term that refers to a system involving maintenance and enhancement of medical services to meet the health demands of human beings and other living creatures. The quality of healthcare services is one of the most profound factors that predetermines a country's well-being. The system usually varies depending on the healthcare policies of the region. As an International student from West Africa, I was very surprised by the expensive nature of the healthcare system in the USA and the lack of healthcare services especially in relation to underrepresented communities. I was shocked to discover the exorbitant cost of healthcare services, most prominently in terms of emergency healthcare. My dilemma was with regards...
