The One-Sided Service: When the going is good

Does Job serve God for nothing? - Job 1:9

Someone said it's easier to serve God when all your prayers are answered, when all your desires and dreams come to pass. But when the storm comes in, will you still serve God? Will you still give Him praise even when there is trouble? Will you still tell people how Great He is even when you lost a loved one.?

One-sided Christianity has kind of ruined some believes' true perspective. Imagine some believers going through what Job went through, most will simply find another god as an alternative.

Life is full of ups and downs for everybody on this earth regardless of who you are or what you do. Jesus didn't promise a storm-free life but He promises His protection through the storm. Jesus didn't promise a persecution-free life but He promises to be with us through it all...

The way we serve and worship God should NOT be a function of what we go through or a function of how much is in our bank account. Regardless of anything, only God deserve our service and worship.

Come what may, you must and you should be serving the Lord all the days of your life.

You can't choose to serve God only when the going is good. You serve God ALL the time. In the good time or in the bad time, God is always good. One trick the devil use is try to use the bad times to paint God as a bad God.

Don't be fooled, God is forever a good God. You should worship Him forever, Love Him for ever because He is too good...

It's a wonderful Sunday Morning. Thank God for the gift of Life.

Good Morning and do have an awesome day...

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
