Salvation of the Frog 2

Just as I previously described a snake experience, years later I had a similar experience in the same house. This time around I saw the elongated body of the snake under the parked vehicle as it wrapped itself around a helpless frog. It was getting ready to consume its prey when I saw it. As quiet and quickly as I could, I went in to inform my siblings. Apologies to all forms of animal right activists, I live in a geographical environment where snakes are dreaded and almost always killed; so we came out to... well you know – finish the job. By this time, the frog wasn’t visible anymore, rather a snake with a protruded belly was seen. Noticing us, it picked up the pace but was sluggish at doing that. It retreated for a hole in the vehicle wheels rim, however due to its previously swallowed meal, the obtrusive part of its body couldn’t fit in the hole. Its last resort was to regurgitate its meal. The unbelievable happened as the snake vomited the frog whole in other to escape. It as well failed in that escape plan as we took care of it while the frog remained as if lifeless. After disposing the enemy, we came back to find the same regurgitated frog hopping away. Isn’t life beautiful?
Truth be told, this kind of scenario portrays an example of GOD’s rare kind of mercy. The fact remains that God is abundant in Mercies which endures forever; only that a situation like this rarely occurs i.e a situation when someone dies and in a short while the miraculous happens as God resurrects such a person. It further portrays Gods Love towards us, for indeed He’s not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. It’s quite unfortunate that so many discard HIS Love, some see it as a form of way of preventing them from “enjoying life to the fullest (although very wrong)” and so postpone their response for the future – when they feel they are ready while so many others think/feel they are so lost in sin/darkness that they believe they cannot be redeemed. I have good news for you because the word Of God says “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”(1John 1:9); Just believe “for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:10)
Are you tired of that bondage the enemy of your soul has trapped you in? Come unto the one who is able to deliver you – Jesus Christ. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11)
Jesus Christ arose with all power in His Hand, (killing the snake) defeating the devil and making us free from all his (the devil’s) bondage. Only Christ can make you free indeed from “that snake”. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Don’t give up the fight, run to your ally.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)

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...
