SAY NoooOOO !!!!! TO GAY MARRIAGE

From Eddybanks

You asked us to wear coat under hot sun, we did!

You said we should speak your language, we obediently dump ours!

You asked us to tie a rope round our necks like goats, we obeyed!

You said our ladies should wear dead people's hair instead of the natural ones God gave to them, they obeyed!

You said we should marry just one woman in the midst of plenty damsels, we reluctantly obeyed!

You said our decent gals should wear catapults instead of the conventional pants, they obeyed!

You asked us to use rubber in order to control our birth rate , we obey even when it denied us sweetness of sex!

Now you want our men to sleep with fellow men AND women with fellow women so that God would visit us like Sodom and Gomora?

Oyinbo, we say tufiakwa! Na by force to be your friend? we no go gree with you this time. As Nigerians we say NO to gay relationships. If you no be gay and lesbian, pass it to your contacts. Good afternoon

HONOUR AND DISGRACE

…so that when your host comes… you will be honoured in the presence of all your fellow guests. Luke 14:10, NIV

Honour and disgrace are in complete contrasts.  Everyone desires to be honoured but no one likes disgrace. But, honour is earned. Imagine being invited to a dinner with your state governor or your country president. What a great honour indeed! But what if God, Creator of all great men, leaders and the whole earth invites you to dinner!

God desires to dine with you, but only on one condition - you must be His child. He loves and cares for His own. Are you one? If you are not, make this day honourable; yield to His invitation and give your life to Jesus.

Those who honoured the invitation received honour, while those who excused and turned down the invitation were disgraced. As cogent as their excuses seem, the convener considered them untenable. God does not honour anyone who turns down His invitation to salvation.

Friend, how many times have you turned God down for studies, jobs, relationships, challenges, and what-have-you? You had better honour Him now before it is too late. Jesus invites you because "…still there is room" (Luke 14:22) to be saved and honoured. If you miss this opportunity, you may be eternally disgraced.

Psalm 147:1-11

GOD GATHERS THE OUTCASTS

The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. Psalm 147:2, NKJV

The first 'outcasts' were Adam and Eve who traded their inheritance for a fruit. Consequently, they and their children became fugitives.

However, it pleased God, in His great mercy and love, to gather them again, after they have acknowledged their wrongs and repented. Truly, no good father will make his child suffer hunger for whatever offence.

Similarly, God has been gracious unto us. He hopes that someday, we would realise our wrongs and come back to Him. That is why, even while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. No true child of God feels good after sinning because he knows that sin impairs his relationship with God. Sin has torment and makes a Christian unproductive.

If you cannot connect to the throne of grace, you cannot obtain mercy and find help in time of need. You must find your way back to God and He will turn your captivity and have compassion on you (Deuteronomy 30:1-3); He will therefore restore you. How you need that now!

Please, don't remain an outcast. Go back to your Father; He is waiting to have you back. Confess your sins and beg for pardon right now.

James 4:7-12

HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.  James 4:10, KJV

The Tehran royal palace has the most beautiful entrance of all palaces in the world today. The ceilings, sidewalls and columns of the palace were covered with diamond. In the course of planning the building, the architect sent an order to Paris for mirrors to cover the entrance wall.

However, while transporting the mirrors, they fell out and smashed. The men were about to throw them all away when one of them suggested that they should see what the broken pieces would look like when fitted together.

The result is an enormous distortion in reflection that sparkles as diamond and dazzles like rainbow colours. This is an example of being broken to be more beautiful. God can do even greater wonders with our lives when we are broken before Him.

Today, James is urging us to humble ourselves before God. In His Kingdom, the only prerequisite to lifting is humility. Brokenness is a virtue in humility. Some Christians are in afflictions because they are only converted but not broken.

Finding it difficult to say 'I'm sorry' has destroyed so many lives. Your ability to apologise is not a sign of weakness but a virtue of maturity.
