THERE WILL NOT BE OPPORTUNITIES IN HEAVEN, ONLY PRIVILEGES.

Opportunity and privilege are not the same; the former is a chance, either to advance in something or to gain something, or to improve on something, while the latter is a right because of either the relationship that one has with someone or the place that one comes from. As Christians, our opportunities are right

Reason why “dead” in Ephesians 2:1,5 means separation, not inability to respond.

Here is another reason why the word “dead” in Ephesians does not mean inability or inability to believe. In Ephesians 2:1, we read, “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins”. So the question here is this: if “dead” means inability to respond like a corpse as some teach, does it not suggest that

LIFE CHALLENGES WILL NEVER CEASE TO CONFRONT THE BELIEVER IN CHRIST UNTIL HE TAKES HIS LAST BREATH

As a Christian, you will not always know for sure why some things happen to us. There is always that temptation to find out whether one’s challenge – be it health related issue, financial challenge, educational challenge, marriage problems, decision making challenge, etc, are directly an attack from the Devil or an intentional decision from

RESIST APPROBATION LUST

Whether you a musician, Medical Doctor, Journalist, Movie actor, Traditional herbalist, university lecturer, Occultist, Police officer, etc, and you think that you are called into the ministry to preach and teach God’s word, get yourself a proper preparation in the word before you start teaching others.

THE SPIRITUAL GIFT OF FAITH – PART 3 – SUMMARY:

The previous two posts on the spiritual gift of faith have shown us that “Faith” as used in scripture could refer to a different idea expressed with the same word. Like save, death, baptize, world,etc, the word, “faith” also may express different ideas in different contexts. In 1 Cor.12:9, faith is a spiritual gift. It

THE SPIRITUAL GIFT OF FAITH – PART 2.

Let’s connect the pieces together: Yesterday’s post clarified that this gift of faith( 1 Cor.12:9; 13:2) was not given to save an unbeliever from the penalty of sin (lake of fire), rather it was a given to people who were already saved in the early church, especially the apostles in oder to “enable” them perform

GIFT OF FAITH – PART 1

It is one thing to identify a spiritual gift in a passage of the New Testament, it is another thing to understand the function of that gift. The mere mentioning of a gift in a passage among a list of gifts does not give understanding of what exactly that gift is for or how it

DO NOT CONFUSE YOURSELF WITH THE ISSUE OF ETERNAL SECURITY – SETTING THE BIBLICAL RECORD STRAIGHT.10 POINTS WILL HELP.

Eternal security does not depend on the person being secured in anyway. It depends 100%(not 99.9%) on the one doing the securing/protection.
