Independence or Death

“The revolted say: ‘It’s up to me!’. The complacent say: ‘I hope God doesn’t forget me!’”

There is a cry, yet to be heard, within every truly revolted person! “What do you mean? Are there counterfeits?”. Yes, those who talk much but do little … those who instigate others, but are the last ones to take the first step. Those who demonstrate displeasure or anger, but when the time comes to act, they cower behind endless excuses.

Pride

 
There are people that have been gifted with an exceptional intelligence, a high I.Q level and many talents. But, despite all this qualities, they are not overcomers. A true overcomer is a person of actions, not just aptitudes.
Song Lyrics
Dying Star You’ve got your best man on the front side
You always show your best side And evil’s always on the other side
You say this is your strategy But son I hope you take it from me
You look just like your enemy You’re full of pride We better trash
our idols if we want to be In the army of the Lord And the greatest idol is you and me,
 We better get on the threshing floor When will we learn that God’s strategy
Is giving glory to the Lord? We better trash our idols if we want to be
 In the army of the Lord Star how beautiful you shine You shine more
beautiful than mine You shine from sea to shining sea World-wide is
 your strategy But shinning star I hope you see If the whole wide
world is staring straight at you They can’t see me

The Angel and the Altar

The devil uses your emotions to stop you from reaching your goals. There are times when you know you are capable of doing what you never expected to do but you allow the evil voices and your emotions to hold you back. You can defeat any evil stronghold by choosing to sacrifice your own will and allow God to lead you to the life He has chosen for you.

When you sacrifice your own will, your desires and choosing to let go what is most precious to you, there is a struggle between you and God and eventually, there is nothing to lose because greater is He who will transform you into a new person and give you a new name.

TWO STORIES, ONE CONFLICT

All of us have at least two stories inside of us. One has a happy ending, the other has a horrible ending. Good and evil. Faith and doubt. Love and loneliness. Health and sickness. Always wishing for one and fearing the other.

There once lived a man named Jacob who lived in this conflict almost all his life. From his mother’s womb he received a promise from God guaranteeing a blessed future, where he would be the leader of his tribe in the place of his father Isaac. However, as the years went by, the truth started to distance itself from the promise.

Awareness Test

Someone send me this video which was used by Transport for London to raise awareness of cyclists on the street. Now, bringing it to the spiritual side… what can this video teach us? Would love to read your opinion on the comment section of this post.... Extracted from Bishop Celso Junior's Blog

The clock of God works correctly, it doesn’t delay or advance

Among the Jews in Jesus’ time, there was a belief that when a person dies, the soul leaves the body only after the third day. So then after the fourth day, according to their belief, only the Messiah could raise the dead.

Interesting to note that purposely, the Lord Jesus took four days to go to Lazarus. And for that reason, He received a slight criticism from the dead’ sister:
"If You were here, my brother had not died" (John 11).
In Martha’s view, God has been delayed.
