The Bible

Unique among the book of the world is the Bible.

The perennial best seller,

The bible is to the believer holy scriptures,

The word of God- and the wayfaring man,

Though he be a fool, can by reading it

Find way of salvation.

The word “Bible”

Means book being derived from

The smaller form of Biblios

Which is Biblion {a little book}

Hence the bible is the book of books.

The story of the death of Sir WALTER SCOTT

Illustrates this when dying, Scott,

The professor of a great library, called to his son

” Bring, the Book” which book asked the son.

Sir Walter Scott replied

“There is only one book which is the Bible”.

That this book so impressed him as did no other-

Is recorded in the poem he had already written;

Within that awful volume lies

The mystery of mysteries race

Happiest may of the human race

To whom their God was granted grace

To read, to fear, to hope, to pray,

To lift the latch and force the way

And better have they ne’er been born

Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.

The Bible is,

Indeed the most unique of all books

And its uniqueness may be seen

From the following consideration.

In it’s sources:

The Bible comes not from any attempt by men

To discover God and this record their experience with God

These experience are then analyzed to determine

Those principles which are common to all of them.

In it’s style:

The literary style of the Bible portrays

A sublimity and unity that is starting

Men such as H.G WELLS, have tried to duplicate it

But have given up the attempts in hopeless frustration.

In it’s Supernatural authority inspiration:

Because of the uniqueness of it’s source and style

There need to be an explanation of why this Book

is superior to all other sacred books of competing religion

Which contend they are authoritative for man.

Selection:

God did not simply use any human instrument

To bring into existence the Bible

Special men with the right

Background and qualification were selected by God.  

It Is Finished

Two thousand years ago

the greatest event in the world

that has never occur since the beginning

of human race till date that was still the greatest event

and which is Christ death at Calvary.

At Calvary

Christ defeat the power of sin

in the life of human race where

He made an open show of defeat

of the devil and his agent

at that moment

when Christ gave up the ghost

the veil of the temple was rent in twain

from the top to the bottom

and everyone have an access

to the grace and throne of God.

He was led to Golgotha

where the defeat and disgrace of devil beginning

if not the death of Christ the world would have lost forever,

the night before He was arrested

he was praying for that Golgotha should come

and finally came and the devil his agent

and the power of sin was destroyed.

The god of this world

was brought under the control of Christ and his follower,

at the cross death lost his victory

and the grave has been denied the bread of life is broken

Jesus lives forever today He is sitting down

at the right hand of God waiting to judge the world.

When Jesus said it is finished

the power of sin is broken and Satan

and his agent has been destroyed and that is”

The greatest event in the world

is the drama at Calvary between Christ and the devil”…John 19:30

DEEPER LIFE

We live in an age

Of moral and spiritual crises

This is seen in the crime,

War and drug addiction, preoccupation with sex,

The disregard for authority the social upheavals

And racial strife, and the lack of moral

Understanding and concern.

Men and women have lost moral discernment,

Calling darkness light and evil, good

“Right” is what is ever acceptable by majority.

The church has come to resemble

The secular community in which it exists

And can no longer speak with moral

And spiritual authority to the community at large.

Why such moral and spiritual confusion?

Because there is no longer an objective moral

Authority teach the truth and to distinguish

Between right and wrong.

Men have lost faith in Holy Scripture,

So there remains no reliable, unchanging standard

Of right to measure conduct and character.

What is the solution?

Only an effusion of power from on high

Within the lives of Christian

Can deliver the contemporary church

From the moral spiritual chaos

Affecting the whole of mankind in this hour.

While multitude of Christians

Have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit,

Yet must have not attended God’s highest purpose,

For the baptism is only the door to something

Greater the deeper life, which a Spirit led life

Of total faith in God crucifixion of the “self life”

And growth into the fullness of God Himself.

A CHRISTIAN IS NOT ONE WHO ONLY WORSHIP CHRIST BUT LIVES LIKE CHRIST

These days’ people don’t pray no more

Because the thing of this world

And its fashion has taken the place of prayer.

The church that ought

To be place of prayer

Now has become where the things

Of the world are being advertised.

Also people don’t love no more

The Christians of those early days

Loved the Lord their God with all their heart

And fellow brethren but now, the Christians

Of these days have replaced the love of God

With the love of the world

Where is the love of God?

Today people say

They are celebrating Christmas

By the way what is the meaning of Christmas?

As a lay man Christmas is a period to remember

When the Savior of the world was born

This is to be celebrated with sobriety not the other way round

By drinking all sort of drinks, doing all kinds of evil

Which is not meant to be so.

Now it is no more called Christmas as we know it,

But world-mass the spirit of the last days

Has taken many people faraway from God.

Pastors that started the ministry humbly

Now carry themselves as the big men of God

That died for the world.

Many started fervently and eschew evil,

But today they’ve all allowed the world

To take away the zeal and vision

They have for the ministry of God.

The passion of lost soul

Now replaced with passion of the things of the world

Bishop and pastors sank into worldliness,

Forgetting the purpose of their calling

And indulging more and more in secular pursuit.
