ABODE OF INIQUITY

ABODE OF INIQUITY

Leave me! Let me alone! Was the cry of the man in bondage. Every now and then, there is a shout and sigh heard from his abode. Morning and night mark the persistence of the cry, with the clock ticking, its consistence cannot be overridden. His voice was heard from the great beyond. He desired freedom but it was far from him. He wanted liberation, yet it was not within his reach. In his groaning, he has forgotten that, KNOW YE NOT, THAT TO WHOM YE YIELD YOURSELVES SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO Whom Ye Obey;... - Romans:6:16. Perhaps, it escaped his mind that, little drops of water make a mighty ocean as it is written, "PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT, LINE UPON LINE"

In this agony, he needed help desperately. All vices have been used, methods have been adopted, principles followed and philosophy engaged, all to no avail. He craved for escape but no way out. Strength was not enough, wisdom would not come to his rescue to save him, till he understood Ecclesiastes 9:10, ...FOR THERE IS NO WORK, NOR DEVICE, NOR KNOWLEDGE, NOR WISDOM, IN THE GRAVE, WHITHER THOU GOEST.

Deep in the ocean of iniquity, swimming aimlessly in there river of transgression; tall and high is the mountain, it seems to be insurmountable. Impossible is the task to overcome sin caused by negligence and addiction. He called out to helpers but there was none. Friend could not deliver him irrespective of the approaches they took. Counsels and advice were like unending just to solve his problem, yet all he desired was to be freed and released from this dreadful abode.

Like a splash of water on a glass, his thoughts moved. As a spark of fire was the instability of his mind. Lost in thought, he said loudly to himself, WHAT IF I DIE, WHERE WOULD I GO. Indeed, he knew the answer to the question. He continued, WHAT IF I STAND BEFORE HIS THRONE, WHAT WOULD BE MY LOT?

He was about to ask another question when he was jerked back to reality that he was drowning, covered with all forms of lust and lasciviousness. He lost hope but faint was still the desire to be saved in him. Oh! Help Me! Another round of rescue gasp. Due to the abode and it's features, iniquity abound and love of many waxed cold. Miserable was his life, riotous was his living.

Just at a point where the present is to meet the future; just about the moment cloud was about leaving rain, then and there THE SAVIOUR fulfilling the Truth that, "...WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Just as when Peter was sinking, He stretched forth His hand to deliver him, pulled him, put and drew him out of the abode of iniquity.

Then he understood that, ...FOR BY STRENGTH SHALL NO MAN PREVAIL. Reflecting about/on his past and his torment in the abode of iniquity. He made a re resolution in song, "I'VE GOT MY MIND MADE UP AND I WON'T TURN BACK ..

Hallelujah!!!
I'm saved!
Praise God...

GOD'S HOLY PEOPLE GREETINGS

HAPPY WEEKEND

TAKE NOTHING - Part III

TAKE NOTHING - Part III Are we any better with all we've taken? Or are we any less for not taking them. The children of Levi would have thought that God was cruel and wicked at first for not giving them an inheritance alongside their brethren. This could be mostly ascribed to them not knowing the mind of God. When God told them not to take anything or share with the remaining tribe, they would have felt used, cheated or wasted; just like most of us do feel nowadays. We go about complaining, nagging and murmuring our lack, wants and needs. Is God not aware? For your Heavenly Father know that ye have need of them, saith Jesus. Now to the Levites, they had no inheritance to share with their brethren...did that make them destitute, wretched or any poorer? At all. THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, AND SHALL HAVE NO PART NOR INHERITANCE WITH ISRAEL:...Deuteronomy:18:1. If you were to be in their shoes then, what would your reaction be? They followed well the hymn which says, LET'S GO TO

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

NOW THAT YOU KNOW Know what you asked? That's; Salvation comes of the Lord and not by any form of fretting or good works, why then don't you go to Him for yours. A delay is too deadly a time to waste in this case. I'm also convinced you know by now that Jesus is coming. Yes, you have this conviction in your heart. You can't afford to continue living your life the same way compared to those in the world. It's brought to your knowledge this day again as a reminder that, WE BROUGHT NOTHING TO THIS WORLD NEITHER WOULD YOU TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT. I'm sure you know this.... All this your flamboyant and glamorous but questionable lifestyle is too costly and risky to put your mansion on high on mortgage... If at you know you have one. Without gainsaying, you should have known that, striving with your Maker makes you to be in the same category with a potsherd... What's potsherd here? You're reduced to a piece. Also, you should have heard this and com

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe?

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe? The above stated theory is believed to have crept into us that we've concluded without questions. The postulation has been adopted into every activities full of hurly-burly. In people's tittle-tattle kind of or way of things, this theorem has been concessional. And just like little children when told not to do something by their parents, we've lived this far without questioning too at this stage and age. What? You've now reasoned to ask, Right? 1. What is full of UPs and DOWNs? 2. Who said it/this? 3. When was it told/How old is this belief? Let me hang on there; I will try as much as possible to answer the above questions to the best of my knowledge and if there are contrary opinions, I'm open for clarity and correction. Answer to the Questions 1. They say life is full of UPs and DOWNs. 2. I don't know the person. 3. Seriously, I don't know when it was said and how long. If you know, please tell me ...
