THE ECHOING HOPE

THERE IS NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN

by goldenlove @ 11. Jan 2008 – 04:40:57 pm

There is no way a person can enter the kingdom of God without being born again. John 3:5 The kingdom of God will be established by God and will be made up of the Throne of the Majesty, the New Heaven, the Holy city and the New Earth. Rev 21:1-2. Nicodemus was a Pharisee who lived a moral life and studied the Mosaic laws made up of the Ten Commandments, the Ordinances and the Judgments. The teachings of Christ astonished Nicodemus as it was full of authority, power and followed with miracles and healings. He went to Christ at night to clear certain doubts that were in his mind. John 3:1-7

THE INHERITED SIN: The sin committed by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden affected the whole human race. The spirit of God with the human spirit was blended before the fall of man .After the fall ,the spirit of God became separated from man because of the sin committed. In order to receive a new spirit and a new life a man must be born again. God spoke through prophet Ezekiel that a new heart He will give to man and a new spirit He will put in man. He will take away the stony heart and give man a fleshy heart. Ezekiel 36:26-27. The stony heart is the adamic nature in man that is not born again.

VARIOUS WAYS SIN IS COMMITTED

1. SIN THROUGH THOUGHTS

Human being is made up of the spirit, soul and the body. The soul is made up of the mind ,the mind is divided into two---the subjective mind and the subconscious mind ,the intellect ,will and the emotion. The human mind is the dimension the devil and his messengers is fighting to control in man. When the mind is controlled by the devil such mind will constantly be filled with sinful thoughts. 11corinthians 10:4-5.

2. SIN THROUGH WORDS

A lot of people are committing sin through the words that proceeded out from their mouth .A matured man is known by his words and a foolish man is known also by his words. An account of every idle word will be given on that day of judgment.Matt.12:36

3. SIN THROUGH DEEDS

A lot of people are committing sin through deeds .The way people are dressing, eating, drinking, playing to mention but a few is not to the glory of God. 1corinthians 10:3

WHAT INVOLVES REPENTANCE

1 Turning completely away from sin Colossians 1:13

2 Turning away from wrong to right living Romans 6:13

3 Turning completely away from sin Galatians 5:19-21

4 Turning completely from the world 1 John 2:15

5 Denying oneself Luke:14 :26

6 Turning to God Zechariah 1:3

7 Hating sin Heb 1:9

May the grace of God be sufficient for every soul in Jesus name. Amen

Pimping God?"( ntwaetsile mmapula)

by goldenlove @ 11. Jan 2008 – 04:31:37 pm

2Tim. 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Many Christians today are seeking the wrong things. We have to see the
things of God, the results of God, or feel something from God in order
to trust in him. We want our season/destiny/breakthrough/promise/blessing/vision/reward/
immediately, rather than daily trusting God and being lead to our
destiny by him.
Many of us are wanting things from God that only a
relationship with him can bring. We must not pimp God!!! God is more than a
breakthrough or a financial miracle!
God is more than an occasion to prosper or an emotional fix! God is a father! He wants to father his
people.
The children of Israel would get tired of waiting on God, so they would
just make their own God! They wanted what they could have immediately!
They would give up on the process and try to make swift progress!
Sounds familiar? That's where many of us are today! We want a
microwave relationship with God and we want to get what we feel we
deserve.
But listening to the mega-rich messages
has made many of us spiritual pimps! We now want to use God to break
us through, or bless us, and not even talk to him on a daily basis! We
don't want a father, we want a whore! "Please me Lord, gimme my
destiny, my season, my inheritance, etc", without knowing his voice,
knowing his feelings, turning from sin, or even reading his Word? We
don't want to obey him, but we want him to obey us! Stop seeking
things from God and seek HIM and things will be added! That's the
formula Jesus gave. Stop waking up each day, trying to build your life
on some man's formula for success to get things. God gave you the
master plan in his Word. You don't need to be purpose driven, you need
to be love driven. You don't need a method to
find your destiny, all you need is a visitation by the Holy Ghost!
Stop seeking what you can see and trust God daily. He will surely lead
you to the Kingdom and add the things that he has purposed for you.

Remember each and everyday you are one day near to your destiny.

THE WIDOW

by goldenlove @ 13. Jul 2007 – 01:29:21 pm

THE WIDOW

Dedicated to all widow and single parent

When will the Widow stop wearing Black,

Their Heart is full of pain

Over their lost companion

The memory is still verdant

Just like the beautiful Hycinth

Their day is now full of Darkness

Their Hope is in nakedness

The cross of Two,

now lay on a single shoulder

Their ward can't stop weaping

Infact their tears,

has become an ocean,

Through them,

the Mirror of Humanity,

can be seen...

hun...their meak is going watering

because no one to massage

their flip flop ball.

When you see my mother,

throw a rainbow at her

she is mean't to be a keeper

of love.

This is my ode,

To those that lost,

their Romeo

LIKE THE FLOWER OF PASSION

by goldenlove @ 07. Jul 2007 – 06:20:28 am

Dedicated to Rev Carol Combs (My Mum)

She wasn't the one,

That gave birth to me.

But spiritual and motherly

She did,

She is like a butterfly

For her songs

Is love and peace

I thought her kind is over

Until I met her Joseph

Because I call her mom in spirit

She is a Mary.

Her Joseph posses

The character of her

Just like hyacinth

The greatest flower

Of love and passion.

Heaven I pray to thee

That I don’t want to lost this gift

A gift but thousand in one

If I must talk about her

Then a whole encyclopaedia

Will never be space full.

My in Hope and vision the People

I don’t want to miss forever.

But wish them to kiss me

Goodnight.

When I have change the world

In the Land for the Glory of Heaven.

WHO WAS BORN?

WHO WAS BORN?

Written by: Samuel Kayode Akinbo

The greatest thing that is permanent in this life is change nothing else. Have you ever think of this matter that,the condition of your birth period or your parent situation when you were given birth is a set back towards you achieving your aims and objectives in Life.

But here I say to you that is not the matter but what matters is "Whom is given birth to"

Let take Jesus Christ as a vivid example Joseph and Mary just got married and both of them are poor couple in a smallest city called Bethlehem, there in Judea. Joseph was an ordinary carpenter, and why Mary was unemployed, if you look at it vividly you will see that this couples are poor indeed, but in the mercy of our God he blessed them with the world savior the one that made the name of Joseph family to be known to be known in the world and also made the name of that special small village to be known on the world on the world map. So it is not the matter of "Who your parent is, nor where you were born but who was born"

If we look at the place of birth of our lord Jesus Christ, you will see that, it has never been recorded in history that any man or woman was born in that humble place. I mean the manger the place animal lives. But Jesus was given birth to here. This does not matter with the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ because it is the matter of "who was born into the world"

So I ask you do you know who you are. A lot of people never ask themselves this question why some ask and don’t really know the answer to the question

But I am saying to you that, you are a special being specially created without error, embedded with a certain unique thing which I call talent, are you using this things that determine Whom was born a child being born into a poor family there is probability that the child can not be poor because It is the matter of whom was born not where he or she was born, by whom.

1 Chronicle 4:9-12

The time you were given birth to is the best time in your life

Those who gave birth to you have nothing to do with the plan of God for you

Your statue has nothing to do with your future, because He has made and ordained you and me for his glory.

Your circumstances of birth, these are accusation used by the enemy to attack you and me but it is all mere propaganda.

Do not compromise answer this question, whom was born who are you do you really know kindly answer with allboldness… as for me I know because he made as an agent of change someone that will make the glory of God shine to the world from where I come from, one the greatest person God has ever created prince of the most God, the one that has been ordained to be great…. This is for me what about you … JESUS IS LORD

Jefter is another example, he was born by an harlot, but did not look at that, all he did was to discover the spirit of leadership that is in him and he made of it. To become a commander in chief of arm-forces in his days. So the person that gave birth has nothing to do with God’s plans for your Life.
