Salvation of the frog 1



Some years before I had a little experience which left me pondering. I was in the compound of my house that day enjoying the cool breeze and ruminating. I suddenly noticed a strange looking creature approaching me. I fixed my gaze on it and saw the appearance of a soil brown creature which had an unusually long green tail hopping towards me. It drew nearer and at this point, I became petrified so I barked out at it. At the blaring of my voice it was revealed. I then realised it was an endangered frog running to me for salvation. It was being chased almost neck and neck by a green snake. At the sound of my voice, the desire of the frog came through as the snake lifted up its head, saw me and retreated. Although the frog didn’t come up to meet me but I could almost hear it say thank you; it was indeed a close call to death for the frog.

On a norm, the frog wouldn’t want to be sighted by me let alone run to me for help; as a matter of fact, it must have initially spotted me but decided to refrain from me, until death came knocking on its door. GOD is indeed great; who could have thought that such a little creature as that would have the intuition that I would deliver it from its enemy, but it surely worked out well. This applies to us in our daily activities, so many leave out the ‘GOD factor’ from their lifestyle and keep doing their business, only to remember HIM when they enter any form of trouble. 
I’ve heard a lot of people say things like “don’t put God into this issue” oh how gravely wrong we are. Only God gives the wisdom to elucidate that particular problem. When HIS Word said "…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33), It directly means what it says and also means putting GOD first before we do virtually anything. i.e. before you go out seek Him, before, you start that business seek His Advice, before you get into that relationship, seek Him because only He knows the future. Don’t get entangled in trouble before you remember Him. Seek Him Now!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the FATHER, but by me. (John 14:6)

Almost Saved, But Lost - Part 1

Image
Opening Scripture: Luke 17:32  :  "Remember Lot’s wife." The story of Lot’s wife is one of the most sobering warnings in the Bible. She was at the threshold of deliverance but never made it through. She was almost saved but still lost. How tragic it is to be so close to salvation, yet miss it! Many people today are in the same situation. T hey are close to salvation, they know about God, they attend church, they have Christian friends, but they have not fully committed to Christ. They are standing at the edge of deliverance, but something is holding them back. "The transformation of lot's wife into a pillar of salt serves as a striking and enduring symbol of the dangers of disobedience and the consequences of clinging to the past, her act of looking back was not merely a physical turn off the head, but a manifestation of a heart unwilling to fully embrace the path of obedience and trust in God's guidance. In examining the significance of lot's wife turning ...

The Unprecedented

Image
When something is unprecedented, it is extraordinary and stands out due to its novelty and lack of prior occurrence . It is often used in contexts where there is a significant departure from the norm or an event of exceptional magnitude. It has been scientifically proven with clear and resonating evidence; the story of the flood that covered the earth’s surface. With distinct details recorded in the Bible, we’re told that God spoke to a man named Noah. Haven found him righteous, HE required him to build an Ark informing him that rain would fall and cause the earth to be flooded. The news of rain falling was very unprecedented since there had never been rain on earth in those days (Genesis 2:5-6) . God didn’t inform Noah of the time/season when the rain would come. And for an event that never had   once happened, this man believed, built the Ark, and took on the task of evangelism head-on. For over 120 years of evangelism to the people of the world, he had only 7 congregations wh...
