WHAT PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS?

After Christmas and new year celebration many souls will be rescued from the power of darkness to the kingdom of light, eternal freedom and forgiveness of sins {Col.1:13-14} through their honest, sincere and active participation in the Christmas revival crusades, consistent mental prayer (“Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place and to stand before the Son of Man” Lk.21:36 ), constant meditation on the word of God {‘this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and then you shall be successful’ Joshua 1:8}, worthy reception of the Holy Communion (“I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” Jn.6:51), going for activities and engagements with the fear of offending God as well as the consciousness of God’s power around you {‘you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions’ (Heb.1:9); “for I will be a wall of fire all around it says the Lord and I will be the glory within it” Zech.2:5} and retreats [‘but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint’ Isaiah 40:31].

This is the lot of those who fear God (Isaiah 54:17), determined to fear God {2 Chr.29:10; Dan.1:8} during this period of Christmas and New Year.

After Christmas and new year celebration some married men/women who denied their marital status by removing their wedding ring for some seconds of sexual intercourse/fingering/kissing/romancing/oral sex will spend some months in the hospital or homes treating the new born disease(s) {‘but if you will not obey the Lord your God by diligently observing all his commandments and decrees which I am commanding you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you…” Deut. 28:15-68}, while some disease that are incurable will stick to their bodies till death not without the regrets that will hunt them throughout their lifestyle and the legacy of bad name that will eternally live with their generations, some will be unable to reproduce for life {“the Lord of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die says the Lord God of hosts” Isaiah 22:14} because they feel comfortable exposing/projecting their private parts/under wear lining with tight tops/transparent clothes/hanging gowns/short skirts/tight skirts/pencil skirts/trousers/bomb-shots/sleeveless tops/strapless tops/unbuttoned tops e.t.c while provoking lust as well as inducing demons of immorality on men [‘you have heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with the lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart’ (Mtt.5:27-28)] just have it at your subconscious that a curse is already tagged on the person through whom men or women will be laid to lust and any other form of sin in a situation/circumstance worse still during this period Our Lord is sharing Graces with regards to the remembrance of His Birth and the awakening call to His second coming  (“if any of you put a stumbling-block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks! Occasions for stumbling are bound to come but woe to the one by whom the stumbling-block comes!” Mtt.18:6-7)

Another movement after this yuletide might be the cases of people who used to dress well being intimidated by friends who will come back from different cities and campuses thus ‘when will you stop being timid and join the moving trend’ just be on your alert as you dispose yourself to meet old friends and meet new friends this season {“do not be deceived: bad company ruin good morals” 1 Cor.15:33} remember you are about breaking a covenant; the regrets, mistakes and effects of which you will live with till death even after your request of God’s forgiveness have been granted (“O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them but an avenger of their wrongdoing” [Ps.99:8]; ‘do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy and you are that temple’ 1 Cor.3:16-17) also some from wearing nude and half nude clothes that project the contour of their waist size/shape/under-wear/tight-tops/strapless tops/sleeveless tops/transparent clothes/hanging gowns/skirts/bomb-shots e.t.c like mini-skirts, pencil skirts, trousers e.t.c even uploading such pictures on the internet did meet their waterloo at the hands of rapist/sex-maniacs/HIV & HBV-carriers/nymphomaniacs/homosexuals/porn-addicts/lesbians/masturbators/sex demons e.t.c who initiated them as agents in these fields; while some became pregnant, abortion destroyed some while the remaining grace left on the souls of those who survived were meshed with the torture of murder, others are slaves to these habits till date and are seeking for solution with fear of dyeing in this horrible state of the soul  always wrecking havoc in their conscience {“…and be sure your sin will find you out” Numb.32:23}, you also need to be careful of fake preachers, prophets and miracle workers as you seek to married/get married/fruit of the wombs/healing/breakthrough in carrier and business without telling you first to flee from your sins and submit to righteousness (‘and the Lord said to me: the prophets are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination and the deceit of their own minds’ Jer.14:14). The only thing that will make a prey to these groups is your wickedness and sins (“your iniquities have turned these away and your sins have deprived you of good” Jer.5:25), inconsistent mental prayer {‘stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak’ Mtt.26:41}, lack of the knowledge of the word of God and the power of God [“Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason you are wrong that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?” Mk.12:24]

With Consistent mental prayer, constant meditation on the word of God, desire for righteousness and hatred for sin you can walk with heads held high after all these signs and wonders (Lk.21:36)

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!!

YOUR DRESSING:

What will your thoughts of tomorrow be like with all these half-naked pictures of yours in the internet? the memories of what we do currently will live forever with us either as regrets, anxiety, sorrow, frustration and shameful legacy just like David in the Holy Scriptures whose misdemeanor with Uriah's wife is still an enigma to His loving Union with God (2 Sam.12:11-13) for the vices when death comes crawling and joy for the virtues thereof.
My dear you are too precious in the eyes of God and Graceful to be cheapening your nakedness for demons of lust to use as a bait to block your blessings and accuse you before God {Rev.12:10}
You can't tell how many people who have downloaded these pictures of yours and are masturbating with them as well as accusing you before God.
These days of youthful exuberance will pass but you will look back on this attitude of exhibitionism and heave a sigh of remorse and regret but will not be able to change the harm you have done to Souls of men. The regrets lives with you forever and can never be wiped out {"...Surely your sins will find you out..." Numbers 32:23}. This is also applicable to good behaviors, thoughts, words, dressing/eating habits and decisions of the moment.

Help to make the world a better place by inducing Holiness and Good conscience in the hearts of men with decent pictures of yours and others.

God is a Reality
The wrath of His Justice is coming gradually
Hell and Heaven are the current state of your soul when alone or in a crowded in environment i.e the after effects of words spoken yesterday, thoughts nurtured last second and actions/decisions taken last minute on the present.

There is a thin line between now and eternity, everything you did in the past, doing now and in the future will be used to condemn you or justify you {Gal.6:7}. Now is not too late since it is an opportunity for you and a patience on the side of God for you to gain salvation (2 Pet.3:15). THE CHOICE IS YOURS !!!

WORD FOR THOUGHT:

"All intense interest in luxury is a mark of inner poverty"

'the less Grace there is in the Soul, the more ornament must be on the body'

"One of the greatest deceptions of today is the belief that leisure and money are the two essentials of happiness"

'the sad fact of life is that there are more frustrated people in the face of the earth than those who have nothing to do and those who have too much money for their own good'

WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

"if any man say that flesh is the cause of the viciousness of the soul, he is ignorant of mans nature. This corruption, which is burdensome to the soul, is the punishment for the first sin and not its cause. The corruptible flesh made not the soul to sin, but the sinning soul made the flesh corruptible; from which the corruption, although there arise some vicious desires, yet are not all sins of an evil life to be laid to the flesh, otherwise, we shall make the devil, who has no flesh, sinless.
__St. Augustine__

MASK:

What aspect of you do you hide from other people and seemingly from God?

When are you going to liberate yourself from that prison?

How long will you hide it?

Are you going to carry it over to 2013?

Who are you afraid of seeing next second?

Of all the places you have been to in life, where do you dread most and why?

What habits do you derive pleasure from yet lives you with regrets, anxiety, emptiness and frustrations?

How do you feel when your conscience reminds you of death especially when alone?

Who is your enemy?

The thoughts, actions, decisions and events of past days, months and years of your life, currently hunting you when alone;

Who engaged in them {me or you}?

Who/What lead you to it/them?

Who is reaping the fruits?

Which ones are you doing currently or intend engaging subsequently?

Hell or Heaven starts with the current state of your Soul when you remember death in a lonely or crowded environment whether poor or rich, healthy or sick, born-again or sloth, clergy or lay-faithful, married or single, at a point or in motion. There is a thin-line between you and eternity.

Your ability to proffer sincere answers to these questions will help you unveil that dark side {Mask} of your life which will open you up to a complete and fulfilled living with every passing second.

SEXUALITY:

Sexuality can be termed the compelling force in man to understand the mystery of being brought to existence, the force behind his creation and why he/she is compelled to follow a particular pattern of lifestyle different from the opposite sex, also trying to understand the force of attraction/repulsion/admiration towards other human being {same/opposite sex} and every other created thing around him/her. It is also by this feeling that man tries to ascertain the uniqueness of every human being created on earth and the way he/she responds to events/happenings as well as the approach to lower animals and non-living things that are used to improve the standard of living by means of symbiosis. When this knowledge is sort, man is often fed with what is obtainable within his/her domicile of birth as well as parental guidance and care. Many wish the origin of man is evolutionistic (just came into existence from the earth after many years of molecular compactmentation thus ‘Nature’ is the source of man’s existence) while others believe man is a descent of an Invisible Being whose complete nature is visible in a man and woman, these two came together in the act of mating and produced human beings like themselves {‘the man had intercourse with his wife Eve and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. I have acquired a man with the help of God, she said’ Gen.4:1} who is called God by Christians and some other religion but a different name referring to the same Being for some other religious group. The evolutionist from the day they propounded their theory are yet to give evidence to the world of a man/woman coming into existence from the earth even they themselves were brought to the earth through intercourse between their Father and Mother. In the evolutionary/scientific world there is this slogan “Nothing goes into motion unless being acted upon by another force” hence the force behind man’s evolution cannot be earth since man is categorically different from mere dust of the earth rather the progeny of man came from the Invisible but closest Being (God), every atom of any molecule contains the complete characteristics of that molecule hence man as an atom of God contains the complete characteristics of God that makes him/her adjust to situations and environment where necessary as well as change events/happenings/situations where it is deemed fit which is not feasible with mere dust of the earth {sand}.

The force that designs one human anatomy different and unique from others whether the same/opposite sex is God; the Creator of man/woman and he also inserts into every person the quest for completeness since either of man’s sex represents the complete image of God rather the both sex (“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them” Gen.1:27) hence man continues to search for the Infinite, complete satisfaction, complete peace, complete joy from what he sees around his/her environment {other human being, lower animals and non-living things}. The power/force of compulsion to dress/sit/talk/act in a different way from the opposite/same sex is also inserted into man right from creation though at birth is usually influenced by parents and environment but with maturation, the child gets to ask questions, make observations and adjust where and when necessary according to the exposure and disposition towards the inner voice [the Spirit of God and the conscience]. As a child grows to understand what he/she can do for his/her self and the environment within his/her God given strength and talent and what others can help him/her achieve, there is an upsurge in the force of attraction and admiration for other human beings [same/opposite sex] and when exposed to the vicious cycle of human beings and the acquisitions of life, the force of repulsion in him/her comes to strike a balance to the initial force however, man continues to attract and get attracted to other human beings (mother/father/sister/brother/relations/friends/strangers e.t.c) as well as acquisitions of life {houses/cars/fashion/money e.t.c} since in him/her is planted the desire for infinite (God) and a desire to understand the force behind his creation, actions, behaviors, thoughts, line of reasoning, acquisitions as well as his final destiny.

The sex of each human being is determined by the person’s physique/appearance; from the hair on the head to the toes even a sight from afar can provide such information hence the dressing/picture-image of any  human being makes him/her attractive/admirable/repulsive even before actual encounters via chats/speech/behaviors/cleanliness/spirituality e.t.c. These entire quest by man with regards to attraction and repulsion towards other human beings and acquisitions of life are mainly geared towards a complete and perfect understanding of man (man and woman) which will bring about the comprehensive understanding about God whose complete nature is visible in a man and woman. This is therefore the driving force that attracts a man to a man, man to a woman, woman to woman, man to lower animals, man to non-living things because they need each other to come to terms with the Single, Unique and Whole entity [GOD] whose image they represent but this force does not complete its cycle in penetration of sexual organs, fingering, visualization of the other’s nakedness, projection of one’s nakedness to another or to the public (fitted/tight, transparent, sex-provocative clothes) rather penetration of sexual organs is the last phase in delving into the mystery of Love {“…God is love” 1 Jn.4:8} between a man and a woman joined together by God through the ministry of a priest and the testimony of God’s people in a bid to understand themselves more hence there is no need for guilt, anxiety, tension, frustration, rejection, fear at the beginning or end of this process lest the aim in view will be destroyed and the journey towards old age will be filled with emptiness, bitterness, loneliness e.t.c drawn from the fear of what the effects of the misdemeanors (‘you showed them that you are a God who forgives, even though you punished them for their sins’ Ps.99:8) of early age will bring to him/her after death {“Don’t delude yourself: God is not to be fooled; whatever someone sows, that is what he will reap” Gal.6:7} and the upcoming generations [‘no one born out of wedlock or any descendant of such a person, even in the tenth generation, may be included among the Lord’s people’ Deut.23:2]. This force is generally referred to as force of attraction/repulsion inserted into man by God (Gen.1:28) and the understanding of how it affects a particular, same and opposite sex in their relationships (emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual e.t.c) to every other human being in the world is called sexuality.
