EASTER

                                                     

     What is easter and what does it exatly mean ? easter is actually a christians feast in which they celebrate the ressureaction of Jesus Christ on the day that he was crucified on calvary. In   which on the third day he rose from the dead. We find this in the book of Matthew chapter 27http://christianity.about.com/od/holidaytips/qt/whatiseaster.htm.Jesus was crucified  because he wanted to save sinners from thier sins. He became the ransom where paul said in the book of corinthians. What we should learn from his death is new life.        http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/easter-2012-message-from-the-methodist-mission-of-the-gambia. he Gained a new life when he rose . Why don't we adopt that and create new lives out of bad situations and challenges. Bury those bad situations in order to create and have new ones and make sure you make the best of the new ones.become wiser amd wiser that your situations.. The people that killed Jesus thought that they were wiser that him but the were not. Use your situations as your scapegoat to new beginnings. Also Jesus humbled himself even if he was mocked , he kept his cool. Also keep your cool in everything and you will rise some day. Finally whatever we think about ourselves tend to become true,so think positively about yourself.                                                                      

FORGIVENESS

When you say you have forgiven someone ,have you really forgiven them? or do you forgive them because they have asked for your forgiveness or because its the right and honorable thing to do that God tells us to? or when you forgive them you have expetations that they won't repeat the same mistakes they did? Forgiveness is defined as an act of stop feeling angry or resentful  towards a person who has wronged you or hurt you.In the book of mattew 6 verse 14 to 16 Jesus commands us  to forgive so that  we will also be forgiven . Is that the main reason why we forgive ? Jesus also said that if your brother sins you even seven times we must forgive him . In our nature we do not overflow with mercy ,grace and forgiveness. But when we have acceptde the holy spirit we are given the Holy spririt  fruits. The fruits of the holy spirit are LOVE, JOY, PEACE ,LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS  , FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS  and SELF CONTROL.http://www.bible-knowledge.com/fruits-of-the-holy-spirit/. All these are what Jesus has and what he went through .These fruits helps us along the way to forgive people. In forgiving a person you do not just help them but you help yourself, You bring freedom,Joy and happiness to yourself. Jesus showed us the way and opened a way for forgiveness so let us follow in jesus footsteps.

LET US STOP CHRISTOPHOBIA

Christophobia is defined as  an opposition to christian's ,their religion and the practice of christianity. It is Discrimination and intolerance against chritians. It was reported that over 160 000 christians are murderd , burnt alive and brutally beaten last year.http://www.frontline.org.za/articles/Christophobia.htm. They are being murderd by mostly the muslims and other people that are of different religions.But why? why do we have to murder people because of what they believe in? What is the actual reason for this?

A hollywood organisation has established an anti-christophobia to fight these vicious acts. They reported that one innocent christian is murderd in every  five minutes just for believing in jesus christ. Christianity is regarded illegal in fifty-one countries.http://www.legalizejesus.com/2012/03/10/massive-prayer-rally-in-hollywood-thecry-hollywood-is-calling-on-all-christians-for-march-15-please-join-us/

In the book of corinthians apostle Paul says that "all that will live Godly in Christ shall suffer persecution. But that does not maen we must stand and be silent . Let us unite and fight against this evil act. With God we are more that conquerers we can defeat this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlP8qoy3DE&feature=player_detailpage



STOP CHRISTOPHOBIA!

WOMEN OF POWER AND FAITH

Juanita Bynum ,a lecturer, recording artist, an author, conference host, entrepreneur and a pastor in her own ministry. This woman is not only successful but a servant of  God. She has gone through a lot of disturbing things but she still has power to carry on.one would ask ,where does she get such strength to do all these things?In the book of Isaiah 41 verse 10 and Philippians 4 verse 13 it states that with God's strenght we can do all things and that he keeps on giving us strenght. Juanita Bynum has been married twice and divorced for the same reason .In both her marriadges she was domestically abused. But why because she married a bishop ? Its not about being a Bishop but repentence. Jesus was talking to his dicsiples and they asked him who will inherite heaven. His answer was ,"anyone who does not repent will never see or experience the
kingdom of God".

Loosing two marriage was rather a lesson to her. Because she established a television show called the divorce court show and she councils couples who are married.http://faithinactiononline.com/2008/04/juanita-bynum-on-divorce-court/ Why can't we adopt that mentality? To strive to make the best of our bad situation .Even if the situation seem so bad that it seems as if you will never get through. Keep your head up high and wait on the Almighty. Be a strong woman/man and have faith in God.
