2014 PLANS HOW FAR?

There is something changing lives that I have hooked up with regards to financial freedom; just submit your phone number or call me (08034220713) and I will invite you to this Heavenly Banquet of consistent and sustained financial freedom platform based on hard work and Grace.

At what age will you become financially free?
In essence at what age will you be able to use wealth and money to face your life challenges as well as help others come out of pains, intimidation and inferiority complex?

BEHIND EVERY IDEA, THOUGHTS, REASONING AND ACTION?

When everything has been said and done, there is just one thing that matters. Did I do my best to live for truth? Did I live my life with sincerity for the righteousness of God?
When all have been said and done.

At the end of everydays task and decision
At the end of every ideology or imagination of our hearts
As we make efforts to meet up with life's demand
As we make effort to appear responsible on this earth are we actually responsible before the Sincerity of God's Glory?

The question on the first paragraph should not be avoided at any given pulse of any human life or within the persicope of the second paragraph.

KEEP PUSHING IN CHRIST JESUS:

Do not look at where others have gotten with envy but with admiration, hope, sincerity and honesty to grow but remember you will not get there according to the way they got there and the exact time they spent to get there but with sincerity of heart, patience, consistency, endurance and conviction in what God has deposited inside you which is different from other peoples own. You will definitely get there at His Time {God's Time} nevertheless keep pushing with all the sincerity and righteousness you can afford and ask God always to supplement for the rest being convinced that the best comes only from GOD. With this you will find reason to hold unto the path of righteousness even when the path seems cloudy and everywhere seems filled with storms. Nevertheless JESUS is the ALL IN ALL. AMEN.

WHAT CHALLENGE?

"the mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth" {Ps.97:5}
What is the present challenge of your life that is eating you up slowly?
Present it to GOD
Trust confidently in Him for He cares about you(1Pet.5:7) and He rules the world ('the earth and all that dwells in it belongs to God' Ps.24:1)
There is nobody who can take care of it much more better than GOD thus "They were astounded beyond measure saying He has done everything well, He even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak" [Mk.7:37]

But for those who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will shine out with healing in its rays {Mal.3:20}

THESE CALLS FOR SINCERE ANSWERS FROM WITHIN A BEING:

"I myself feel confident about you, my brothers and sisters that you are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and able to instruct one another" {Rom.15:14}

Do I/you think God is confident about me/you with regards to our present state of life?
In essence are we sure that our current attitude towards money/husband/wife/children/brother/sister/relations/friends/sex/job/fame/carrier/politics/properties/assets/talents e.t.c will preserve us in holiness till the moment of our death?

In sincerity, from the day you came to the reality of being a human being made in the likeness of God till date how many human being have you honestly drawn closer to Righteousness according to Jesus Christ standard?

PRAYING FOR THE DEAD:

ALL THE DEAD {SOULS}:

The mercy of God knows no bounds even in the grave Jesus Christ is Lord "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water" {1 Pet.3:18-20}

Let us commend all the souls of the dead we know or we did not know even those we presume should enter heaven directly after their demise on earth into the ocean of God's mercy for the justice of God is beyond human comprehension and imagination bearing in mind that nothing unclean will enter heaven [Rev.21:27] and our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God (Isaiah 64:6)
This prayer we should make every moment we remember or imagine within our memory or visibility; the dead thus:

Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord,
Let perpetual light shine upon them.

May their souls rest in peace. Amen.

YOUR MAKE-UP:

Ladies you are not slave to men’s eyes.
In psychology, needing to makeup excessively or dress scandalously only exposes insecurity and misery in your heart, disharmony and emptiness in your spirit!

Beauty is not about having a pretty face or body.
True beauty comes from within and is noted on the outside.
Real beauty is about having a pretty mind, soul and most of all a beautiful heart!

Why do you focus on superficial improvements, while real men don’t see it?
Real girls are not perfect. Perfect girls are not real.
Don’t be the girl who needs a man. Be the girl a man needs.

Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fake makeup, fancy hairstyles, expensive jewellery, or beautiful clothes.
You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 1 Peter 3:3-4

DO YOU KNOW?
Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than her belief in Jesus Christ!
Jesus is the best makeup that any girl can wear.
If you have a real faith, you will always shine and look lovely.
The Christian woman does not need any makeup on her face for inner beauty can’t shine through makeup!

THOSE WHO HAVE TENDENCY OF MAKING IT TO HELL:

"then you will begin to say, we ate and drank with you and you taught in our streets. But he will say, I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers" {Lk.13:26-27}

I express my fears for myself and every other person who is baptized, receives the Eucharistic Jesus in the physical appearance of bread and wine both the clergy and the lay-faithful, preach the gospel always, enter the house of God frequently because we have the higher propensity to end up in hell...

My belittled reason is that our lives most often exhibit a sharp/clear contrast between what/who we claim to be and the real lives we live by way of our attitude towards those who are placed under us in age, position of power, less privileged, speaking out for truth in the face of chaos.

If I am / you are among those who hear the word of God and go ahead to do things or take decisions under the disguise of "it does not matter", 'I did what I did or took the decisions on a particular issue in order to please myself and not any other being'.

Those of us who use the maxim "I do not care whose ox is gored" make sure that in the sincerity of your heart, you are doing or saying what God said you should do or say at that particular time or event lest we might be tending a dangerous part that seems righteous to us and close friends.

Let us reconsider and re-evaluate our policies, beliefs, principles, standards, models, ideals, ideologies e.t.c whether as clergy, believers, unbelievers e.t.c while we are still alive because there is often a pathway that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof leads unto destruction.

May God give us the Grace to accept and adapt to changes that are in accord with His righteous will, the boldness and eagerness to reject, renounce and eliminate permanently from our lives and world those ideas, beliefs and standard that do not tarry with His Righteousness on earth above all may he grant us the Wisdom that seats by His Divine Throne in order for us to know the difference between these two concepts in life. Amen.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

"so he said to the gardener, see here! for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and still I find none. Cut it down! why should it be wasting the soil? He replied, Sir let it alone for one more year until I dig round it and put manure on it. if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down" {Lk.13:7-9}

Do you know that the life you are currently living is not your own?
Someone whose life was alive replaced our dead life with His...
He lives forever before the FATHER renewing our dead life with His endless life
We are living on a borrowed life
Why do we boast with the life we live as if it were our right?
Do we know that there is a stipulated time marked out for us to make use of this extra time / repent from every unrighteous, non-serious and dishonest relationship with God or else be cut down [die both biologically and eternally]?

'no I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did' (Lk.13:3)

Let us use every second of our breath on earth to reorder our lives, teach others to do so and be ever ready for the uncompromising judgment of the Only Supreme, Radical, Merciful and Just Judge.

THANKS BE TO GOD:

"But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted and that you having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness" {Rom.6:17-18}

Am I / Are you thankful to God for being among those that live in the Good news Era?
Are you/ Am I obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which the gospel of righteousness has been entrusted into our care?
Am I / Are you convinced beyond what eyes can see, ears can hear and hearts imagine that I / you have been set free from sin/wickedness/death?
Currently am I / are you a slave of righteousness or unrighteousness?

We pray God to renew in us the grace of prayer, thanksgiving and praise for being counted worthy to live in the era after Jesus Christ our Master and Lord had paid the price of human frailty with his spotless and priceless blood, the grace to keep active its living effect in our lives and world every moment in our conscious and unconscious state, the right and necessary conviction that we have been set free forever from sin, wickedness & death which will enable us to live out our slavery to righteousness in all its ramifications. Amen.

THERE IS MORE...DIG TILL DEATH...

"...and yet when the Son of Man comes will he find faith on earth?" {Lk.18:8}
Let us examine ourselves and know whether we are still living in the faith or have we failed {2 Cor.13:5}
Your faith in God is it in line with God's standard?
Your faith in God is it in line with your personal standard?
Your faith in God is it in line with traditions and customs of your town?
Your faith in God is it in line with the laws of your employee?
Your faith in God is it in line with the dictates of your spouse?
your faith in God is it a fulfillment of your ego?
Your faith in God does it end with the letters of the Holy Bible only?
Your faith in God does it begin with the traditions of the church and ends in it only?
Your faith in God does it have any personal experience attached to it outside what is recorded in the Holy Bible and the traditions of the church?

There is more to GOD, Heaven, Heavenly creatures,Righteousness of God, purgatory, souls in purgatory, hell, satan, angels of hell than what is written in the Sacred traditions, Sacred Scriptures, inspired books, inspired speeches, dreams, visions and its interpretations even our personal imaginations.

As an individual on earth you need to do the research yourself with the unique entity God has embedded within you.
This research will not stop until biological death.
Even after that life continues at the other side.
Use your lifetime well.
Nobody will do this for you apart from YOU hence stop blaming anybody apart from YOU for the ills in our society {'when the ways of people please the Lord, he causes even their enemies to be at peace with them' Prov.16:7}

“for this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me” (Col.1:29)

BLASPHEMY:

"...but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come" {Mtt.12:32}

The Sin of blasphemy is gradually eating up our sincerity with God

Denying God, His works in our lives and in the world.

Giving honor due to God to men and women we term "men/women of God"

Making mockery of Holy things, places, men and women under the disguise of speaking the truth and being realistic.

Denying revealed truth about God in the Church, Sacred traditions, Sacred Scriptures and the daily unfolding of God's abiding presence in the world.

Proclaiming satan and hell much more than we proclaim God, heaven and heavenly being surrounding us.

praising devil for what God has done, is doing and will continue to do even as we claim to be atheistic in attending to issues of life.

Insulting the Church of Christ {Catholic}, The pope, Bishops, priests, clergy, the lay-faithful e.t.c in order to gain popularity or fame.

Getting used to God or being over-familiar with God that makes us to regard with contempt human life,the intuitions of the Holy Spirit dwelling inside our hearts and God's injunctions on how to live the life He gave to us.

Being over-familiar with the Holy Spirit that makes us say "Holy Spirit said" when He did not say anything as well as keeping quiet when He instructs us to speak as well as act on His behalf.

Getting familiar with the Church, the pope, the bishops, the priests, the clergy, the lay-faithful, the poor e.t.c that we treat them with contempt.

Getting familiar with the Sacred scriptures that we quote its content with ease in order to justify ourselves as righteous not to Justify the Righteousness of the Spirit that authored its content

Getting familiar with the celebration and participation in the sacraments that we loose sight of its mystery and value in our lives as well as our world especially the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of reconciliation for the clergy and the lay-faithful.

We pray God to give us the Grace, Zeal, Willingness, Strength and perseverance to restore ourselves and our world back to a sincere relationship with Him who is God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

SINCERITY:

HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD:

The highest miracle to any human being is hearing the voice of GOD about your current situation, the circumstance as well as the ordeal of others and acting concurrently without delay. With this there is no fear of the unknown and life becomes genuine, authentic, meaningful and real.

Ask God for this revelation every second of your life and He will not let you down.

THE QUESTION FOR EVERY LIVING SOUL:

How do we share the message of Jesus Christ so that men/women of our generation will be motivated to worship and serve God from within their hearts to the externalities of the world not under compulsion but freely/voluntarily/reflex-action?

BE SINCERE WITH YOURSELF:

You need not transfer from exhibiting the power of righteousness within you to something that makes you feel inferior and fake to yourself because you are not created to impress people or human being which no man has been able to do and none can attain that height rather do your best to impress your Creator, be real, genuine and truthful to yourself since no one will be hunted by your mistakes apart from you. After all said and done your regrets will be glaring at your face at the slightest silence or lonely moment which no distraction / materialism of life on earth can take away. Be sincere to yourself now for your future needs it for maintenance of undiluted peace, sanity of purpose, clarity of vision, timeliness in decision-making and prompt response to questions/peoples ideologies and principles/solutions to current & prevailing circumstances of you and others. Give it a thought not a hiss!!!

LIFE AFTER DEATH:

One of the most asked question is “what happens to man/woman after biological death?”

This question by God’s grace I wish to attend to with my belittled understanding of God’s revelation to man as it is expressed in the sacred scriptures, history and the few years I have existed on this planet earth as a human beking.

The death of any man/woman is defined under two categories from my perspective and conviction as a Christian; either a man dies in a consistent, radical, honest and devout relationship with God through Jesus Christ his son who is the reflection and exact imprint of God the father under the influence of the Holy Spirit via Grace, faith and works or in opposition to the indwelling of God’s righteousness in him/her.

A person in the former category is said to have died in Christ Jesus not by men’s judgment or reasoning but by God alone who testifies to those who are special in his presence thus “then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks were split” {Mtt.27:50-51} which instigates in the thoughts of those living the conviction to affirm you were a true devotee thus ‘…truly this man was God’s son’ (Mtt.27:54)

For this person or persons the Holy Bible refers to them as believers and with regards to the ultimate decision of the only Supreme judge {‘…and to the righteous made perfect’ Heb.12:23, James 4:12} they will either lay in the grave waiting for the last trumpet [“for the Lord himself with a cry of command with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet will descend from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are left will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air and so we will be with the Lord forever” 1 Thess.4:16-17] or they will join heavenly fellowship immediately they close their eyelids in biological death (‘Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me even though they die will live and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? Jn.11:25-26)

The people in this category who will be alive until the sound of the last trumpet will join their colleagues who died before that time and were resting in the grave with a heavenly body {‘listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die but we will all be changed, in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable and we will be changed’ 1 Cor.15:51-52}, the verse 52 of this passage explains why the holy roman catholic church defines someone a saint after many years of his/her death with some part of his/her body not decayed or the incorruptible whose whole body do not decay at all with the phrase “the dead will be raised imperishable” i.e their dead body will not decay or perish till the last trumpet sounds. This imperishability of their body was also well defined by Jesus Christ thus ‘those who believe in me though they die will live’ [Jn.11:25]. This also affirms the company of the saints among the living and there intercessory role for us before the lamb of God in whom they believed in, lived and died for [‘and all the angels stood around the throne the elders and the four living creatures and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God singing Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen Then one of the elders addressed me, saying who are these robed in white and where have they come from? I said to him, sir you are the one that knows. Then he said to me, these are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb’ Rev.7:11-14 / “thanks be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light” Col.1:12]

This episode of John’s gospel also explains the fact that there are those who gain direct entrance into heaven immediately they die and there are those whose consistency in authentic, radical and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ manifested in adoration and worship to Jesus Christ; the lamb of God and a life of mortification and atonement for individual sin and sins of the whole world will never die until the last trumpet and they will gain direct access into heaven while others are assembling for judgment before the supreme judge. Those who live in honest, sincere, radical, consistent faith in Christ Jesus as well as those who die in this state will not be judged again on the last day for they have received their own judgment on earth and have completed their own atonement for it here on earth as well {‘but if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world’ 1Cor.11:31-32}

Those who have been judged on earth are those who accept the sin-ability dwelling within a man (‘if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us’ 1 Jn.1:8) no matter the level of spirituality attained [“so if you think you are standing watch out that you do not fall” 1 Cor.10:12] just like Jesus Christ who was God did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped rather he emptied himself and took the form of a servant (Phil.2:6-11) and He who had no sin was convicted for sin by his father and He accepted it so that we might become the righteousness of God {‘for our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God’ 2 Cor.5:21} therefore the death of these set of people is a pleasant sacrifice in the sight of God (‘but the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and no torment will ever touch them…having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them and like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them…’ Wisdom 3:1-9), {‘…and the day of death is better than the day of birth’ Eccl.7:1}, [“but the righteous live forever and their reward is with the Lord; the Most High takes care of them. Therefore they will receive a glorious crown and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord because with his right hand he will cover them and with his arm he will shield them” Wisdom 5:15-16]

The righteous are not condemned or judged again because Jesus Christ has paid the price for their condemnation [‘surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole and by his bruises we are healed. All we are like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all’ Isaiah 53:4-6] by receiving judgment for sin through the blood he shed on the cross of Calvary (“you know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ like that of a lamb without defect or blemish” 1Pet.1:18-19, Col.1:19-20) though he did not commit any sin therefore making his believers the righteousness of God {2 Cor.5:21}. This fact St. Paul clearly stated in his letter to the Romans thus “there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death” (Rom.8:1-2) but there is punishment for the righteous who go ahead insulting the spirit of grace given to them, treating with disdain the blood by which they were ransomed and trampling on the son of God [Heb.10:26-31] since he has given us all that we need for true devotion to him in His Son yet we go ahead to commit sin (‘His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Thus he has given us through these things his precious and very great promises so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust and may become participants in the divine nature…’ 2 Pet.1:3ff)

‘…and be sure your sin will find you out’ {Numb.32:23}

“Be assured, the wicked will not go unpunished but those who are righteous will escape” [Prov.11:21]

‘Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven but whoever denies me before others I also will deny before my Father in heaven’ (Mtt.10:32-33)

‘But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed [Rom.2:5]

“Do not be deceived; God is not mocked for you reap whatever you sow” {Gal.6:7}

‘See I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work’ (Rev.22:12).

For this reason we are admonished not to permit any bit of unrighteousness even though we have been saved by grace, mercy and love {“and do not make room for the devil” Eph.4:27}

Those who died refusing correction as well as rejecting judgment in the flesh will join their choice place after biological death thus;

Those who were not baptized with water and spirit before their biological death, the inconsistent with Righteousness, those who neglect their supposed responsibilities with regards to their vocation and those who give excuse that certain things are little hence can be overlooked will face the cleansing fire of hades (“in hades where he was being tormented he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side” Lk.16:23), {‘then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord and satan standing at his right hand to accuse him and the Lord said to satan, the Lord rebuke you, o satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the fire’ Zech.3:1-2}

Those who worship wealth, religion, fashion, women, men, wine, power, celebrate nudity/nakedness will join their source under the sea (‘for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’ Mtt.6:21)

Those who live in mediocrity and are intimidated into untimely death by the demons of darkness, marine-powers, occult powers, impoverishment e.t.c will be trapped by death {“my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge…” Hosea 4:6}

All the souls operating at this realm within any of the above mentioned category whether dead or alive until the second coming of Jesus Christ in glory with the heavenly outcry will be vomited from these hidden states/condition and stand before the supreme judge for the last judgment according to the content of their life history, their obedience to the contents of the sacred scripture culminating in those who were able to enlist their names in the Lamb’s book of life thus “then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence and no place was found for them and I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life and the dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books and the sea gave up the dead that were in it, death and hades gave up the dead that were in them and all were judged according to what they had done. Then death and hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire” {Rev.20:11-15}

Which group will join if death comes knocking now?

OUR SHARE IN GOD'S MERCY AND FORGIVENESS:

The life of every living being belongs to God (‘know that all lives are mine; the life of the parent as well as the life of the child…’ Ezek.18:4) also his mercy and love endures forever {“the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end” Lam.3:22}  

“Which one of you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?” {Lk.15:4}

‘Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents’ [Lk.15:10]

The words we utter at the sacrament of reconciliation_ Father forgive me for I have sinned_ were derived from this scriptural passage ‘…Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you’ (Lk.15:18)

The prodigal son prepared these words before going to the Father hence we should prepare and enlist our faults very well before we go the confessional

You prepare what to say before you get to the confessional {“I will get up and go to my father and I will say to him, Father I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands” Lk.15:18-19}

You make the move towards God through the instrumentality of the priest who is the messenger of the Lord Sabaoth [‘for the lips of a priest should guard knowledge and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts’ Mal.2:7] who is the confessor with humility (“so he set off and went to his father…” Lk.15:20) not because as humans he can forgive sins but as the representative of Jesus Christ whose priesthood is eternal and consistent even currently before his Father in heaven {Heb.7:23-25}

You make a humble obeisance and show remorse before the confessor with eagerness to release yourself from those faults as well as share in the judgment for them and general human weakness like Jesus Christ for the world’s sin (‘for our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God’ 2Cor.5:21)

You now say what you prepared to confess and give up with regards to misuse of grace as a son/daughter who has been saved but willingly rejected to follow the pathway of those who are saved (“then the son said to him Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son” Lk.15:21)

Immediately Jesus accepts our sin as his and offers it to his Father and a robe of righteousness is used to cover us and totally blot out our guilt {‘but the father said to his slaves, quickly bring out a robe – the best one – and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet and get the fatted calf and kill it and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again he was lost and is found and they began to celebrate’ Lk.15:22-24}

But the enemy will come to your mind to remind you of those sins and try to impose guilt on your mind about the same sin you have been forgiven or try to make you feel like someone who has not received absolution before now even though you have gone to reconcile with your GOD in sincerity. This is the work of human psyche manifested through thoughts, circumstances, events or news that display themselves in your mind brought about by friends, brothers, sisters, mother, father, priests, preachers, office-colleagues, neighbors, school-mates e.t.c (“and we do this so that we may not be outwitted by satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs” 2Cor.2:11)

Do not be an instrument to make people think they cannot be forgiven for their sins by God if they make sincere and honest effort to connect to the power of God’s forgiveness and love for mankind {‘but Jesus said, let the little children come to me and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs’ Mtt.19:14}

Do not allow yourself to be victimized by any unrighteous habits, behavior, attitudes, emotions, passions, desires, pursuit, purpose or vision [“Jesus answered them, very truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin…so if the Son makes you free you will be free indeed” Jn.8:34,36].

Do not allow yourself or those around you to be cowed into believing that they cannot be forgiven by God from any type of sin without being punished before or after seeking an honest reconciliation with their God (‘that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us’ 2Cor.5:19).

You should use everything at your disposal to inspire yourself and others on the need to seek reconciliation with God every second of our lives because in every second of our lives we have our sinful abilities dwelling in us seeking opportunity to express itself hence we always need to seek God’s mercy in order to render these habits, desires and emotions perpetually inactive {“let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” Heb.4:16}.

You need to perpetually and insistently remind yourself and others about God’s love, justice, mercy and forgiveness which is unconditional, available and accessible at any given second of our life-span whether dead or alive [‘for Christ also suffered for sins once for all the righteous for the unrighteous in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison who in former times did not obey when God waited patiently in the days of Noah during the building of the ark in which a few that is eight people were saved through water’ 1 Pet.3:18-20].

We need to pray for ourselves {lay-faithful}, priests and confessors that the Holy Spirit will inspire us to pray and prepare effectively and efficiently in our mind and body before approaching this throne of mercy either as the judge or the penitent (“first of all, then I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings should be made for everyone” 1 Tim.2:1)

We need to pray for our priests and confessors so that inspired by GOD; Supreme Judge who they represent, they may be able to use firm admonitions as well as ample time to help penitents to regain their desire for consistent contrition every second of their life and have convincing reasons why they should not desire these unholy lifestyles ever again.

We need to pray for our priests so that aided by Jesus Christ the eternal high in whose stead they re-enact the sacrifice of Jesus to his Father on the cross of Calvary so that they may offer up our sins to Jesus Christ who turns the bread and wine into his Body and Blood so that by their word substantiated by the power of God who can do all things at any given time our sinful habits and behaviors will become inactive and unattractive to our concupiscence as we consume God in his Body and Blood {“those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life and I will raise them up on the last day” Jn.6:54}.

We need to pray for our priests and confessors so that they may also avail themselves the opportunity of complete reconciliation with God by accessing this sacrament through their brother priests and confessors with all humility and sincerity (“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity” 1Tim.4:12).

We need to also pray for the lay-faithful so that they may access this sacrament with perfect humility, contrition and sincerity in their relationship with God {‘let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds’ Heb.10:24}

INSPIRATION:

Do not be afraid to stand firm for righteousness now because;

Your future/posterity depends greatly on it as testimonies of convincing experience that in life no creature can take your place.

Your present requires it for timeliness and clarity in decision making.

Your past needs it for complete healing from the mistakes of yester-years.

the term "IDOL" as it was used in Exodus 20:4 :

Exodus 20:4 You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters below the earth....

The reason why many catholic abandoned the Catholic Church is that they define the word idol by themselves and did not refer to a dictionary. The word IDOL is different from the word IMAGE
IMAGE is a visual representation.
IDOL is an object worshIped as god.
IMAGE are expressions of LOVE.
IDOLS are expression of STUPIDITY.
Destroying an IMAGE is an expression of HATRED.
Destroying an idol is an expression of LOVE on GOD.
Hatred is evil.
The golden calf that Moses destroy was an idol (object worshiped as God ) not a religiuos image
Roman Catholics only worship the living God not the image itself (read apostles creed)
The Apostles Creed

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen

YOUR DUTY TO GOD, YOURSELF AND THE WORLD:

Your duty on earth to God as a human being is to prove to the world that there is God (‘…I am who I am…’ Ex.3:14)

Your Duty to God as a creature is to do your best to offer your whole being {spirit, soul and body} to God and make sure your best is good enough in His sight (“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth” 2Tim.2:15)

Your Duty to yourself with relationship to God and the world is to convince yourself that this God is within you (“…Christ Jesus in you [me] the hope of glory” Col.1:27), He can take care of you without your consent {‘but God proves his love for us in that while we still were Christ died for us’ Rom.5:8} and knowledge [“I am the Lord and there is no other; besides me there is no god. I arm you though you do not know me” Isaiah 45:5].

He can take care of you without other human being; it is normal from human view for a child to be formed in a womb through the fusion of female blood {egg} with male blood [sperm] either through natural mating or artificial insemination but He came to save us from the drudgery/captivity of sin/frailty in His Son Jesus Christ by speaking the word (‘and now you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you will name him Jesus’ Lk.1:31) and the word turned into blood [“And the Word became flesh and lived among us and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth” Jn.1:14] and fertilized the egg in the womb of Virgin Mary. Whether she was willing to believe or not; she has no option but to collaborate in the plan of God to redeem mankind after the fall of our first parents {‘therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son and shall name him Immanuel’ Isaiah 7:14} but thanks be to God that she accepted because Eve also had such opportunity but was deluded by lack of knowledge and understanding of who she was (the image and complete reflection of God) and what she possessed within her {God and all the complete features of God including wisdom} which made her to desire the external wisdom of God much more than what was lying within as well as the attempt to satisfy the desires of the eyes with what is seen in the physical only and the whole hunger in man with just feeding the belly thus we try to honor her as God honored her first [‘for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely from now on all generations will call me blessed’ Lk.1:48] though no creature can honor another creature very well at the same level as the Creator honors his creatures (“but she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, do not be afraid, Mary for you have found favor with God” Lk.1:29-30).

This is assured by your willingness to share your ideas and make your life {attitude, behavior, dressing, desires, intentions, emotions, decisions, habits, character, actions, vision, mission, purpose e.t.c} a living and visible translation of God’s Righteousness in any place you find yourself (inside your room/bathroom/car, when alone or in the company of any living being, family, kindred meetings, church, office, street, shops, business-premises, clubs, bars, hotels, motels, brothels, schools, institutions e.t.c)
It is your duty to teach the world this truth and encourage them to teach others this bitter but only truth which makes life worth living and then hope as well as have faith in life after death in God (made manifest by the birth, life, passion, death, resurrection, ascension of Jesus Christ, the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles to confirm the promise of Jesus to the apostles before he ascended and the revelation of Jesus Christ to John one of his twelve apostles about His place before God the Father as a permanent intercessor who is able to save at any given time those who come to God through Him) worth dying for [1 Jn.2:1-2, Heb.7:23-25].

It is the function of God to testify that you are his BELOVED by manifesting His Glory to affirm His love for you and that you are special in His eyes when He deems it fit/proper {Mtt.3:17, Mtt.17:5, Ps.115:3, Gal.4:4}.
It is not your duty to prove to the world that you are holy
It is not your duty to prove to the world that you have spiritual gifts, ability to read/study/pray the WORD as well as mesmerize others with this ability/grace.

LUST:

SOMEONE WHO CALLS FOR LUST:

Many have done it all their life-time

You can do that inside the house

Can you walk on the street with that

Can you walk on the street stark naked

No country's constitution forbids this dressing code

Many died with their hands inside theirs

Many died with men's mouth stuck in their

Many died with men's sexual organ stuck into theirs

Many died with sex toys stuck in their

Many died with the sexual organ of animals stuck into theirs

Many died with the finger of another person stuck into theirs

Sexual urge can never and has never been satisfied with sex/porn/masturbation/fingering/sucking/carousing/sex-toys rather total submission to Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit made visible in the Knowledge of God revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

Give your life to Jesus Christ who died for you on the cross of calvary so that you may live and not be yoked again by sin and demons of lust/greed/carnality/envy/jealousy/pride e.t.c

Give it a thought not a hiss!!!

THE SAINTS:

THE SAINTS INTERCEDE FOR US BEFORE THE LAMB:

Yes, she is in heaven and the saints in heaven pray and intercede before the Lamb of God; JESUS CHRIST on our behalf "thanks be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has permitted us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light" {Col.1:12}. The intercessory power of the saints in heaven and how it relates to us on earth "When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints" [Rev.5:8], the relativity of their prayers to the earth's inhabitants "and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints rose before God from the hand of the angel. then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake" (Rev.8:4-5).

HONORING THE MOTHER OF JESUS:

Every Hail Mary contains the Only Name by which we are saved JESUS {Acts 4:12}, while on earth the Virgin was inspired by the righteousness of Holy Spirit to intercede on behalf the celebrants at the wedding at cana without anybody telling her, she went to Jesus and said "Son there wine has finished" {Jn.2:3} after the rhetorical response of Jesus in humility to her Son who is GOD and majestic in glory she told the servants "Do whatever he tells you" {Jn.2:5}. With regards to preference and the priority of her intercession b4 her son with regards to those who are evangelist/apostle even those of us who claim to know the holy Spirit more than her at the foot of the cross with John the most beloved of the apostles and Virgin Mary, He preferred to talk to her mother first b4 his beloved apostle thus "woman behold your son, son behold your mother and from that time, ...the apostle that Jesus loved most took the mother of Jesus home" {Jn.19:26-27}. As one who follows the apostles footprints in what way do you take the mother of Jesus into your home as John the most beloved apostle did? bearing in mind that Heaven is our home {Phil.3:20} can you be truly embarking on this journey home without saintly aid and respect accorded her first by God through the voice of the angel {'and he came to her and said, Greetings, favoured one! the Lord is with you...for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely from now all generation will call me blessed' Lk.1:28, 48}?

COMFORT ZONE:

Are you in the state or condition of comfort or relaxation in this world with any unrighteous lifestyle? Listen “I will rise up against them says the Lord of hosts and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, offspring and posterity says the Lord. And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog and pools of water and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction says the Lord of hosts” {Isaiah 14:22-23}

Remember Babylon stands for every bit unrighteousness, wickedness, hatred, sexual immoralities, bitterness, anger, rancor, pornography, masturbation, contraceptive production/dissemination/use, abortion, indecent-dressing, liars of any sort, idolatory, envy, gossip, adultery, fornication, buying and selling on Sundays and holy days of obligation, murder, occultism, witch-craftery, psychological manipulations, seductions, bribery, forgery and falsification of documents e.t.c thus “and on her forehead was written a name, a mystery: Babylon the great, mother of whores and of earth’s abominations” [Rev.17:5]

The Life we are living is an opportunity for us to walk out our salvation in fear and trembling (‘the Lord is not slow about his promise as some think of slowness but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance…therefore beloved while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish” 2 Pet.3:9,14)

THE WORD "SEXY":

Out of all the righteous words used in the scripture none was worth using on this Daughter of Zion rather the promiscous and vulgar statement of the world 'sexy' which means she is not an image of God to you rather image of Sex. We can do without sex but we cannot do without God hence pick up your scriptures and use words that edifies the spirit of God in man to replace those vulgar vocabs in your system. Young woman be careful of the message you send and deposit in the conscious and unconscious nature of men via your dressing/picture/videos/comments bc 2moro you will be the one complaining of rape, assault, infidelity and heartbreak {"Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, so that the land may not become prostituted and full of depravity" Lev.19:29}

SEX

THE REAL FACT ABOUT SEX.

Personally, I was pushed to write something about sex due to the distorted views of many people with regard to it. I have seen photos posted on social websites like facebook/badoo/netlog /2go etc, where the vagina is referred as the 'road to hell'. What a myopic view! It is really a pity.

It should be noted that 'sex' itself is a gift from God to humanity. By 'sex' here, i mean 'sexual intercourse' between a man and a woman. Therefore, it is good in itself because God made it for three purposes: first, for procreation; second, for unity; and third, for expression of marital love. So, there is nothing bad about sex.

However, sex could be improper or sinful (religious term) under two reasons: time and intention. The time refers to the moment or period it is done. When sex is done before marriage (pre-marital), it is improper and sinful because it does not respect the purpose for which sex is made - procreation, unity and marital love. Again, when sex is done with the sole intention of satisfying one's sexual instinct or to gain mere pleasure, it is also improper. Sex is an exclusive activity between two persons who have been united by love through the Sacrament of Marriage. It is only in marriage that the meaning and purposes of sex is actually realized. Therefore, sex is not a 'road to hell'. Rather, it can lead one to hell if and ony if it is done outside the required time, and with the wrong intention. In those cases, it is said to be sinful, which can be forgiven if the sinner seeks forgiveness from God with perfect contrition.

- Drogba, writing from Ekwulobia.

Question:

i concur with you guy. However your write-up is still begging for further explanations.1. is that act of intercourse right out of religion because i know it is part of the need of man like desire to learn, eat, clothing, shelter, and all these i mentioned are not tagged as sinful by religion (with respect to time and intention) instead religion says overeating is sinful (gluttony). Please throw more light on this. Writing from Owerri (O town)

Answer:

@ Paschal, you do not own yourself. Rather, You take care of it. That is why you play according to the rule of the owner who is God hence sex is for the appropriate time and intention.

Thanks dears. @John, thanks for d reply. @Paschal, sex is not to be equated with other instincts. Sex is sacred. It has a deep meaning. This is why the marriage institution was instituted as the only place sex could be done rationally and formally. Outside this institution, sex loses its meaning.

Question:

If sex is sacred and a gift from God, does it not follow that those who refuse to use that gift as he intended for whatever reason displeases God.

Answer:

Sex is a gift for those who wish to achieve the 3 purposes i mentioned. However, sex is meant for the institution of marriage, and marriage is a vocation that is not meant for all men. It is not a necessity that must be attained by all, rather for those who wish to go into it. We are created to love God. Therefore, there is nothing wrong that some people should choose not to enter into the institution of marriage in order to serve God with an undivided heart and mind. It is not a rejection of God's gift (sex), rather, an acceptance of God's love for us who instituted the priesthood.

Question:

I know that outside of religion, crimes like killing, stealing and rape are still considered bad, is sex considered bad outside of religion especially among two consenting adults that are not married in a religious or traditional way

Seeking for the essence of sex with the lens of religion might surely distort the truth. So let's look for it on a neutral ground, for the sake of moralists.

Answer:

Yes, humanly speaking sex ought to be organized. It is not a matter of consent between two persons alone. The parents and the community have to be aware that these two persons want to unite through sex. Every sexual activity between two persons (man and woman) speaks the language of love and unity. This is why we are rational beings. We are different from animals who indulge anyhow and whenever. Ours is not a matter of agreement between just two, it involves the society that is why we are social beings. It is wrong and irrational to do it based on mere agreement between two persons. Sex has no meaning in that affair. The society is always aware. This is why marriage institution remains the oldest institution even many years before religion.

Question:

I think this is a good point. However when you place this vis-à-vis the biblical ordination of sex, it becomes questionable since Adam and Eve had no society to consent. And Jesus said that is why a man should leave mother and father........one body. Please explain, remember I concur with you. It is for the sake of moralist that I ask

Answer:

The name Adam refers to humanity. A society is already involved potentially, though not in actuality yet. This is the reason why the sin of Adam and Eve is referred to as the sin of mankind. Every human being shares in that sin. Therefore, Adam is not just an entity but a society. Just as Jesus said, a man leaving his father and mother is a formal arrangement which is meant at a particular moment in one's life. It is not an ordinary leaving. The society is aware that this particular man is leaving his parents to stay together with this particular woman. It is formally arranged. Anything short of this authority, is informal and irrational, and thus inhuman.

@Paschal. Would you have sex with your sister simply because two of you consented and are adults? Answer me this question please.

If you need money, your mother can give you that. If you need sex, would she give you that because two of you are adults and consented? Tell me then the difference between you and the dog/goat/horse at your backyard? Remember we are reasoning on plain ground.

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GOD OF OURS:

Praises to GOD; MY ANOINTING:

"To you the KING of the ages, IMMORTAL and INVISIBLE, the ONLY TRUE GOD; be honor, glory, praise, adoration, might, dominion, power, worship, thanksgiving, forever and ever in Jesus Name. Amen" [1 Tim.1:17]

"Victory to you our GOD who sits on the Throne and to the LAMB, praise, Honor, Thanksgiving, Adoration, Might, Dominion, Authority, Power, Thrones, Majesty be to you our God forever and ever in Jesus Name. Amen."{Rev.7:10, 12}

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING UNTO?

"for you had compassion for those who were in prison and you cheerfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves possessed something better and more lasting" {Heb.10:34}

What do you have inside you?

Do you believe that what you have in GOD is better and more lasting?

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

TRY THIS OUT:

"I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open and no one shall shut; he shall shut and no one shall open" {Isaiah 22:22}

Do you know that you can enter into a covenant with God by striving with every breath within your power to live a righteous life without compromise till you die and with this stand close the gate of hell against all your family members, friends, colleagues even enemies, at the same time open the windows of heavenly blessings and glory on them?

Give this a trial and you will be marveled at the power that dwells within you!!!

I am a living testimony of this prayer pattern and I am still on it!!!

He has never failed me and will never fail because '...but I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him' {2 Tim.1:12}

ABORTION DOES NOT MAKE YOU UNPREGNANT RATHER:

 it just makes you the mother of a dead child
it only makes you the father of a dead child
it just makes you an accomplist in a murder crime against GOD
it only includes your name amongst the list of terrorist in the world who increase the heat of curses placed on all humanity by each individuals' sin
it makes you the son of devil who has been a murderer from the beginning of the world
it makes you a liar since you claim that you love life but you do not want others to live
it makes your logic about life illogical since you want other people to obey your opinion about life but you do not want obey the norms of life as set by the author of life.
IT CONTINUES...

THE RIGHT CONVICTION FOR BREAKING ADDICTIONS:

Until we begin to visualize and conceptualize every bit of unrighteousness as an acid which should be avoided either for its destructive impact on the surface of human body or the torture and subsequent death it will cause if taken inside the human system then we will be able to flee from every form of unrighteousness and immorality especially pornography, masturbation, adultery, fornication, sugar-daddy/mummy, abortion, contraceptive use/sell/production/promotion, lesbianism, homosexuality, bestiality (having sex with animals), drunkenness, indecent dressing, lust, lies, unforgiving spirit, anger, hatred, deceit, questionable silence in the face of evil which continue to hunt the peace of our world as well as heat up the punishment we will face sometime and somewhere bearing in mind that no sinner will go unpunished (Prov.11:21). Not just fulfilling the external request of every altar-call and attending sacrament of penance/reconciliation without honest resolutions and decisions on how to stop insulting the spirit of Grace dwelling within the soul.

Plead the Blood of Jesus Christ always when the unrighteous thoughts/desires comes into your mind so that the Blood which made peace between God and man in Col.1:20 to turn the unrighteous desires into righteous desire as Christ Jesus did on the Cross of Calvary.

OUR CITY:

“The Jerusalem which is above is free and is our mother” {Gal.4:26}

Heaven which is above; the state of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit within any living soul is free for every living soul who is willing to conform to the standards of righteousness without compromise till the day of judgment and not those who want to experience this state of bliss with their own dogmas and doctrines which is compromising righteousness forgetting that nobody who is condoning unrighteousness will enter this city (Rev.21:27/ Heb.12:14)

This city is our mother that is; the place of our origin “Heaven is our home…” [Phil.3:20] and righteousness is our primary nature since GOD who is righteousness per excellent created us in his own image and likeness without compromise {Gen.1:26-27} thus anybody who compromises righteousness will not be able to co-exist in this city. This is therefore a call for all of us to dispose ourselves towards this basic nature of ours {righteousness without compromise}, begin to practice it now and here so that we can find heaven our home and mother appealing and habitable when death bell rings or the trumpet blast sounds.
We cannot do this by our own strength (‘by strength shall no man prevail…’ 1 Sam.2:9) but by every second renewal of our faith in GOD through an honest and sincere desire to increase our faith in JESUS CHRIST through the types of videos/magazines/pictures/novels e.t.c we watch/keep around us, friendships/jobs/relationships/write-ups/statements/speech/silence we encourage/nurture/maintain since our righteousness is not defined by obedience to the law but by our faith in Jesus [‘a man is made righteous not by obedience to the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ’ Gal.2:16]

We are left with the option of reiterating the prayer of the man whose child was possessed by demon that often throws him into the fire in response to what Jesus told him and is still repeating to our hearts/mind/body every second “Jesus said to him, if you are able!—all things can be done for the one who believes” (MK.9:23) then came his response and the prayer that should always be on our lips ‘immediately the father of the child cried out, I BELIEVE; HELP MY UNBELIEF!’ [MK.9:24] when overwhelmed by our unrighteous desires/attitudes/behaviors/passions e.t.c followed up by honest and sincere actions to renounce and flee from environments that leads to such unrighteousness being conscious of its ability to make God forget about all our righteous deeds and induce biological death [‘but when the righteous turn away from their righteousness and commit iniquity and do the same abominable things that the wicked do, shall they live? None of the righteous deeds that they have done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which they are guilty and the sin they have committed, they shall die’ Ezek.18:24] as well as condemn a soul to eternal damnation {“but as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters and all liars their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death” Rev.21:8}.

OVERLOOK THE IGNORANT AND RESIST THE WICKED, (2.) CONSIDER THE POOR AND HELP THE NEEDY, (3.) SEE IN YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING THE IMAGE OF GOD AND TREAT HIM/HER AT LEAST LIKE A HUMAN PERSON, (4.)

TO PRAY & LABOUR UNTIL YOUR PURPOSES ARE REALIZED .... (20.) TO BE A HERO IN THIS GENERATION WHEN TRUE HEROES ARE SCARCE! ~ ~ Dearest friends & family, if not for a WEAK & DISABLED MINDSET, many possibilities would have been able for us to achieve ... ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF. Fr. Val wishes you all the able grace, amen!¡

SEXUAL URGE AND PURITY:

It is not within my confines to inform you of what you did not already know but to remind you about this truth, the human sexual urge which if well understood will help man attain purity of thoughts and desires for the same as well as the opposite sex, sanity of mind, body and spirit. This also brings peace to the being of a man which the world cannot give.

We can define this aspect of man as an invisible force which greatly affects the visible nature of man since the life of every living thing is in the blood {‘for the life of the flesh is in the blood…’ Lev.17:11} and a human being is said to be alive when his heart still has the ability to circulate blood efficiently to every part of the body then this unseen but ever active force is contained within the blood of every living human being.

From the above we can ascertain that this force is available and active in the blood of every living human being thus at conception when a child is formed in the womb of a woman as a blood in the form of a foetus that child automatically inherits this force from the parents with or without his consent and knowledge till later years of reasoning in life when certain physical changes begins to occur and subsequent psychological disposition towards others (same or opposite sex) just as the parents accepts the sex of the child with no option to change it to their own suited choice of sex prior to the moments of intimacy that led to the fertilization of the egg. This leads us to define sexual urge as one of the gifts of God to man which he cannot reject, rather he needs to accept it for what it truly is; a gift from the hands of a loving father who does not wish to stain or spoil the bond and love existing in the father-child relationship. Everything giving by the father to the child is to make the child have a sense of belonging and add value to him which in turn yields respect as well as appreciation for the father’s show of love, care and concern. No wonder the unleashing of God’s wrath on Onan {“But since Onan knew that the offspring would not be his, he spilled his semen on the ground whenever he went in to his brother’s wife, so that he would not give offspring to his brother. What he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord and he put to death also” Gen.38:9-10} when he willingly spilt this life-giving fluid on the ground during intercourse with his brother’s wife for selfish purposes and daring the injunctions of God that anyone who sheds blood commits murder and will pay with his own blood for in his own image God made man {Gen.9:6}. These behaviors are still recurrent in our generation under the auspices of prostitution, abortion legalization, contraceptive production/sell/use and dissemination, worship of obscenity, human nakedness and nudity by the movie industry and media, insult and degradation of human nakedness and physique by the fashion world, masturbation, gay-rights legalization, upload and download of half-nude/nude pictures and videos on the internet as well as its encouragements via follow-up comments, castration of human beings, female circumcision and mutilation of sexual organs, change of sexual organs through plastic surgery e.t.c

Looking critically at what Onan did with his fluid, the immediate response of God and its recurring trend in our generation as mentioned above we will notice the following; the conscious awareness of an inherent emotion, this emotion calls for attention and adequate satisfaction in order to enable man enjoy his existence without destroying himself, the clarion call from within the self, parental upbringing and environmental influence through observation, study, and instructions to attend to this emotion, but there is a hitch which is the absence of the best concept and knowledge to attend to this emotion in order to attain adequate satisfaction without self-destruction and distortion of inner peace which he inherited from his Source {GOD} the father of peace. To clear this hitch man needs to ask these basic questions; ‘this emotion where cometh thou?’ (Where is this emotion from?) And “where tends thou?” [‘Where are you heading to?’ “What purpose will man achieve with your company?”] .

Sexual urge is a gift of God to man from conception as defined by the words “…be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it…” {Gen.1:28}. God never gave man what will bring him dishonor or create enmity between Him (the Creator) and man [the Creature] rather He gave us everything that is necessary to enhance this our union with him of which sexual urge is one of them. From the Sacred scriptures we can observe that the gifts of God to man where given to him as subservient nature and not a compulsive emotion or feeling hence we can control them if we dispose ourselves to their true origin {‘for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline’ 2Tim.1:7/ Gen.4:6-7/ Sirach18:30-31}.

Sexual urge is an emotion, a force, a passion and an aspect of a man’s nature that was given to our first parents Adam and Eve by the phrase “multiply and subdue the earth” and is being transferred from one human generation to another at conception that is they are already in the life-blood of every human being that is in existence thus at every distribution or outpouring of human fluids {blood, semen, saliva e.t.c} either willingly or unwillingly this energy and life-giving strength is transferred, shared or wasted with or without conscious awareness of its consequences to human subsistence on earth. Since the nature of human fluid is greatly affected by what we eat and drink; we can clearly say that our feeding habit has a lot to do with our sexual urge.

Sexual urge can also be defined as the conscious awareness of an inherent emotion/force/passion within a human being, this force propels a man consciously or unconsciously to notice every other thing outside of him, later on himself then compare which of the externals possess similar qualities to himself; he appreciates every other things in nature but seeks an endearing union with this object that is similar to him, this attraction comes primary from the physical stature/physique which the other possess whether same or opposite sex which promises to provide a higher level companionship since both share similar quality [both are human being] thus Adam exclaimed after the creation of Eve “this at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called woman, for out of Man this one was taken” (Gen.2:23)

Sexual urge helps us to appreciate everything outside of us because of their need for survival, complete and fulfilled existence nevertheless attracts man with each other as mates {human beings} because of their similarity to each other which stems from physical appearance and stature no wonder at the sight of Eliab; David’s brother and the first son of Jesse God said to Samuel ‘…do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the heart’ (1 Sam.16:7) defining the limited state of man’s perception of truth and life by what is seen in the physical thus Paul inspired by the Most High gave us the best way to the perception of life’s realities and truth “for we walk by faith, not by sight”{2 Cor.5:7}

As human beings who have mind, body and spirit created by God who is holistically a Spirit Being though he manifested himself in human form through his Son Jesus Christ {Heb.1:3} and other forms like tongues of fire, water and cool breeze as the Holy Spirit (Acts.2:1-5), he has given us gifts which are from the spirit realm hence we cannot be able to use in the correct way any gift of God until we denote its purpose in the spirit realm thus genuine satisfaction for every gift of God must be first attained in the spirit then put to use in the physical to glorify God and edify the world created by God and its inhabitants no wonder Jesus reacted thus “at that time Jesus said, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was gracious will” (Mtt.11:25-26). With the above, Our Master Jesus taught us that prayer is a spiritual gift giving to those who believe they are little, do not know how to paddle life’s torrent tide with all the gifts, emotions, talents and spiritual gifts but are consistently conscious on every second bases that there is a Higher Being that brought them forth in this earth who alone bestowed all these on him and will be in the best position to help him access  as well as put them into effective and efficient use of HIS glory on earth as well as edification of human race.

It is therefore pertinent that we understand the reason why God instilled sexual urge in a man from the spirit realm. The reason is to make man desire complete companion with his source {GOD} and return to his Creator, this gift of God to man is like a hook God uses to draw men to himself in their bid to flee from his presence by trying to use what is seen in the world to satisfy this desire in the following ways marriage, fornication, adultery, bestiality [sexual intercourse with animals], pornography, masturbation, exhibitionism (exposing one’s half-nude personality, complete nudity, encouraging others to do same and enhancing such school of thoughts or philosophy), prostitution and homosexual school of thought, production/sell/use and dissemination of contraceptives as well as anti-life philosophy. This is a move made by man to attend to his emotions with the wrong concept and understanding that what is seen can satisfy what is not seen, from the time of Adam till date many have gotten drunk with the wine of lust and could not attain satiety or satisfaction of sexual urge using all these means mentioned above. Many young men and women get frustrated in marriage after long years of keeping their physical virginity while they have built up their emotions, desires and hopes on lust with pornography, sexual imaginations, porn-magazines and toys, porn-ideas of sex and what sexual intercourse should be like between married people under the pretext of virginity till marriage only to find out that their spouse is not a sex-machine hence the issues of ‘we are not sexually compatible’/ ‘I am in love with another person outside my marriage partner’/ “infidelity” which stakes up to 95% of broken homes and marriages today.

Sexual urge as a hook that sticks unto the throat of man can be defined thus just like a fish gets glued to a bait on a hook, those who saw this emotion in them and started making enquiries into its source, purpose and best channel in order to attain adequate co-existence with this emotion inherent in every man in every age which is a gift from God who is on high and uses different gifts to draw our attention to His Existence and our utmost dependency in Him who created us in order to remind us that we came from Heaven where he dwells and we need to return back to our home {Heaven; Phil.3:20} having put to efficient and effective use all those gifts he presents to us every second as a reminder of his Existence and the need to return home safely. The only and correct Being who can and should answer the question about the origin and purpose of this emotion in man is the Creator of man {GOD} and he made this invitation “call on me and I will answer you and I will teach you great and mighty things you know nothing about” [Jer.33:3]

After many years of research and prayer into sex, sexual urge, sexual intercourse, sexuality and love-making

My questions during these period where

Why is this force so high in me that it seems I cannot do without it via porn, gazing at women lustfully, using the imagination to undress a woman whether well dressed, half-nude or nude and have sex with her, gazing at women’s nudity at different porn-sites and lesbian dating sites?
