It's Not By Books

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
-  2 Peter 3:18

Nothing pains me more than meeting a young guy or lady who is very intelligent but does not know God. 
Not here to rubbish great minds who are yet to know the Lord. I'm just saying what i feel. 

If only being a Scholar could deliver after death...
If only being an intellectual could grant one eternal life...
If only speaking fine english could get you undeniable access into Heaven...
If only pursuing a PhD is all you need to be great in life...
If only.

See academic greatness is awesome but don't get carried away by its highness.
Because of ordinary human knowledge, some folks have read themselves out of God. 

Some folks after consuming plenty of academic nonsense will come and start arguing there is no God. Many Atheists i have met are very educated people. Unfortunately human knowledge without a knowledge of the DIvine is a waste of time. 

Are you a young person and you desire knowledge, get God, interestingly the God we serve loves excellence, he would give you grace for excellence in whatever field you are. 

My own is that, don't because of book throw away serving a God that you would answer to at the end of your life. 
Knowledge is good 
But the question is
The one you have, is it of eternal value?

TGIF! Good Morning and do have a good Friday...

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
