Whether a foreign problem or a heart problem – Matthew 15: 11

I was sitting with my aunt one day and she was saying to her kids that after all she had done for them they did not appreciate her. And I said within myself after all Jesus did for us at the cross, we still do not appreciate it, Jesus knew we would stone him and crucify him yet he still died for us. I heard a street preacher say that a guy asked him for a bible and he was sure if he gave the bible to him, he would have torn it. I said yes that the sacrifice Jesus made too at a bigger level than just a bible. A heartily panned problem stemmed from humans’ helplessness to sin; we as humans take out time to search for things sweet and palatable to our tongue to taste and for us to eat. Matthew 15: 11

A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it." What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.

I heard someone say Japan was saying foreigners are evading their country and they did not want to become the next Great Britain, in all ramification i did not want to talk why because I could see the speck in my country and myself so decided to keep quiet. However, as the issue went on i remembered this verse Proverbs 18: 24

"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."

I say this with all love, I had a friend chinelo who got fully funded scholarship to Japan and loneliness and she spoke about them not knowing Jesus and how christianity was frown upon there. So it was like agnostic there. Now this is a nation, that doesn’t know Christ, aren’t friendly to even themselves, and thus decreasing population from suicide and self suicide. Yes, UK is messed up but so is every other nation at this point. There’s killing of Christians in Asian countries, sharia in Nigeria. If a nation cannot be friendly to themselves how will they be friendly to other nation. So, if they like they should not take foreigners or take it will not change the nations outlook what foreigners do is increase the reflection of a nation. Inbuilt its the foundation of a country that holds the nation. The image a nation has must reflect Christ else the foundation will erode; scriptures say if the foundation is eroded what can the righteous do. Not much, so it does not matter how many progress any nation has once its foundation is not built on a rock that is Christ it will crumble. Its not whether it bring foreigners its whether the foreigners belief aligns with their see Ruth and Christ flee into Egypt. Bring in foreigners is like having more population that magnifies the problem that was already there. Innately, every nation will pick after its kind. Implying its what a nation is, it will pick. This is my 2cent in the whole discussion.

A Worship that transforms – A memorial to Christ, The Psalmist of my Alabaster of Box

I was watching this YouTube channel “https://youtu.be/_md5Xw99cac?si=iKXX3bqSQX7TxkGs” bearing in mind that we see things differently, he said we ought to preach the gospel than sing songs that when we get to heaven. That when we get to heaven, we will sing forever which is the truth, right.
But the fact that we should not sing is arguable:
1) the kingdom of God has come nigh or has come unto us. Luke 10: 9 that’s why we have open heavens Isaiah 64:1, when Jesus was being baptized the heavens opened and God the father said this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. The open heaven was that similar to what Jacob saw in Genesis 28: 12
2) Jesus could not worship the father but honor him, so in essence, when Jesus came, he came to make disciples of men and honor the father. When he met the woman with the alabaster box, she was the only one who had some sort of worship to him, washing his feet with her hair and tears and using expensive perfume on him in memorial of his burial. Mark 14:3, Luke 7: 37
3) Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Hebrew 1: 14 its precisely because worship moves us to repentance that’s why the spirit on God comes upon us and we dance like David danced. When his spirit ministers to us we minister to others to repentance, hence the tears when we worship and the tears of the woman with the alabaster box.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxM_n4LnK_M&list=RDPxM_n4LnK_M&start_radio=1.

There are many more reasons why worship is a form of ministering and thus gift of the spirit. If your gifting falls as teaching may be then preaching the gospel is your calling but that doesn’t nullify those given with the gift of ministering. After all, he gave us all beautiful garment Isaiah 61: 3, Worship is who Christ is for us, the knowledge that what we could not do in our sinful flesh is what Christ did for us is why we worship and this points us to Christ not to ourselves. And that is evangelism, that all honor, glory to you Jesus.

why worship is a form of evangelism: The psalmist and my alabaster box echoes scriptures from the writings of King David, who comes from the line of Judah which means I will sing. And I will put it to you that worship is about Jesus, the whole story of the alabaster box points us to the memorial of his burial, why we worship him. We can all minister the same way else they’d be no diversity it’s just like having ballad of classical music, but then there are poem and hymn and different forms of expressions of literature all pointing to literature.

Jesus said I have given you power to heal the sick, cast out demon, raise the dead and preach the gospel wherever you go. Just because you preach the gospel and can’t cast out demons does that mean you are not doing Jesus commands. Remember when Jesus disciples could not cast out demon because they’d not fasted and prayed did this mean they could not preach the gospel. So, just because our forms of worship or reverence to God is different does not mean it fails to point us to Christ. Matthew 26: 7

The scripture paints a picture of a woman who brought an expensive perfume, she poured on Christ’s head as he reclined at the table. WHEN WE worship it is the only time, we take away our expensive covers to see the beauty of his holiness. It does not just unveil Christ; it points others to him.

Tears roll because we finally see our unworthiness and Christ worthiness, Psalm 45: 8 That’s why the whole Psalms and hymns exist in the bible. It is the only time where sinners come to Christ as the veil is torn. It is the only time we are living temple offer ourselves as a willing sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God as a reasonable service. So, why wont singing be a form of evangelism, even if it is not a direct preaching.

when we worship it serves as a memorial to Christs work hence Jesus says she wrought a good work. He does his good work in us, and through us. It is God’s goodwill to work and do his good pleasure in us, Philippians 2: 13

I will Psalmist Psalm 45: 1 says my heart is indicting matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. I am fairer than the children of men, grace is poured into my lips there Adonai has blessed me FOREVER.

John 4:1-42 KJV – An uncommon way to evangelise

Someone once said evangelism is for everyone, and I use to think oh well surely not but today, we see the woman at the well, who was a Samaritan who was to fetch water from the well met Jesus, Jesus told her about her past and she went on to evangelize that she met a man who told her about everything she did. If a woman at the well can evangelize so can we.

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Can you drink of the cup I drink of? Mark 10: 29 – 31

Sometimes, we do not see the price, Jesus had to pay until we drink of the cup he drank. The price of taking the gospel to the nation and sitting at the right hand with Christ in glory.

And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized me will be baptized”

We envy/admire people and want to be as they are but until we realize the cup we have to drink of?

There is a long list for the requirement for sitting at the right hand of glory where Jesus, so I believe its a venture for only the strong and in this generation. Who would dear, I guess I thank God for his mercy towards the sons of men.

Freedom – Grace – Lady Liberty Deuteronomy 30:19

With challenges ever increasing in the world today, there’s no better time to now than to talk about freedom because it is what grace is. If we have no choice in a matter we have lost freedom and thus grace.

Deuteronomy 30: 19 says This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

It always astounds me that lady liberty is a single lady, I used to think when she is blue it stands for Americas freedom and when she is brown its stands for Americas discipline but who knows right.

Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Even God gives us a choice in every matter and that’s what freewill is and that’s really where justice comes from really that you choose life and get life but you choose death and you die. Unlike my country, where our foundation started from deceit and lies, that plagues, some countries are fortunate that their foundation was founded in truth and justice.

However, the beauty of freedom from slavery or slavery from sin or slavery in any form is the freedom to choose. If freedom is taking away choice is removed and thus a fall from grace. Laughs, discipline is not bad, its just a moment to reflect on why you fall from grace and that’s lady liberty.

A simple matter of faith – Luke 18: 8

Today I got two gifts – one reminding of Gods faithfulness and the other reminding me of his provision.

As I got out I met a Doctor with his kids, and as we bought stuff; he told me his daughter would marry at 20 and 21. And I am like why? He says he is a doctor; he has seen many ladies with fibroids over 30 and had no kids. I didn’t tell him I had a friend who married in her early 20s and could conceive until her 35th year. Scriptures tell us I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Truth is whether she is 20 or 30 all her years have been designed by God. So, this man was telling his daughter that she would marry in her early 20s, and she was telling her dad she would get a job and leave the house. And he told her after all the things I am buying for you. I figured whoever wins in this case is the person that has greater faith.

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemed any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Because God gives everyman according to his ways, naturally he makes one see things as clean when he wants to do justice, and he makes another see something as unclean when he wants to do justice. If something is meant for someone, he make that person see it as unclean. That’s, how Gods justice is unsearchable and we call his justice his ways………

Afterall, whether rich or poor he makes the sun rise on the just and the unjust. Its really just a matter of faith………………

Not physically present – 1 Corinthians 5:3

1 Corinthians 5:3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.

This life can sometimes be an irony, yea, I heard Pastor Tim Dilena mock saying Jonah, yes it seems I am sent to the gentile nation. But I cannot be present with them, as I build myself up; they get built up as well. Since, my nation claimed there was no need for holiness, naturally justice had to be served someway. I did go to their sanctuary to take songs as it was freely given, I took it joyfully. And I would repeat it again. Since, my nation had no need for holiness but justice naturally their spirit as a nation is tied to the marriage.



I don’t consider myself to be good nor bad, I’m just shrewd and discipline as I see my life play out in another nation. I am wondering if I am dreaming but fair is fair in the game of war and peace. One of the hardest things to do is hold my peace. Exodus 14: 14 “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

When you have done all, you can do, stand still for the salvation arm of the lord to be revealed. It sounds easy but hard in practice to do, when we serve God as kings, we see ourselves as kings not as lame, blind neither. Even men in my country call themselves kings, but a nation ruling the whole world thinks he is lame, without faith it is impossible to please God, as one reigns as kings in righteousness, truth and justice. It is only a fair price to believe this or continue doubting that you were created for such a time as this. Jesus was a carpenter’s son, but he still is the king of the Jews. It is not the position you are in, it’s that you have been chosen. Thats not something someone can easily change.

As I hear, China threatening that America has to be removed, it has flaws and what not, 2 things came to my mind, I checked if China has debt, and yes it had ‘a trillion-dollar local debt’. If it was not the number one nation and it had this debt. What happens when it is the number one nation. Yes, America was a nation once founded in righteousness but lost its way. It will naturally pay the price for its sin. But to replace it position might be difficult, because no other nation has its foundation formed in righteousness. China is a nation that prides in discipline and law, it’s not that laws aren’t good, they’re just not sufficient enough. Plus, the years of experience, America has had failing, learning and relearning will be had to replace. sometimes, that’s why I don’t worry. I have not read any country that has held the fiat that has successfully stayed out of debt – Britain couldn’t, Netherland couldn’t, and I doubt the best of any other nation would. I do believe a nation should not transfer its debt to another nation except it builds that nation with the agreement that the inflation shared by America is brought on that nation by the expanse of its development. Why? Jesus gives weights according to your ability. It is unfair to put burdens on people who don’t have the capabilities to bear them. Afterall, to whom much is given much is required. The question is not having what another person has, the question is, is it for you? I thank God for his mercy upon my life, it’s because of Christ I am what I am.

In Remembrance of – Genesis 40: 14

Genesis 40: 14

But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.

Joseph calls to remainder what we do as call for remembrance when we fell trapped by life’s issues we seek cry out lord remember me for good.

A Cry for Remembrance During World War II

During World War II, a young soldier named Private James Turner found himself caught in the chaos and devastation of the war. He had enlisted in the army with a sense of duty and hope, but the horrors of battle had quickly shattered any illusions he had about glory and heroism. Stationed in Normandy, France, after the D-Day invasion, James and his comrades were constantly in danger, facing enemy fire, relentless bombardment, and the ever-present fear of death.

One evening, after a particularly harrowing firefight, James found himself alone in a foxhole, his body bruised and weary, his spirit exhausted. His thoughts turned to his family back home, the simple life he had left behind, and the uncertain future ahead. In the silence of the night, as the distant sounds of gunfire echoed in the background, James whispered a prayer, a cry from the depths of his heart: “Lord, remember me for good. Keep me safe, and bring me home to my family.”

James had always been a man of faith, but in that moment, the desperation was palpable. He had seen so many of his fellow soldiers fall, and he wondered if he would be next. The thought of not making it home haunted him, and his prayers became more urgent. “Lord, please remember me. Remember my family. Remember the life I left behind. I don’t want to die here.”

As the war raged on, James continued to pray, holding onto the hope that God would hear him. Weeks passed, and his unit moved further into Europe, facing constant danger and hardship. But despite the overwhelming odds, James found himself inexplicably spared from the worst of it. The battles were fierce, and he watched many of his friends fall, but time and again, he narrowly escaped death. It was as though a shield of protection had surrounded him, and James couldn’t help but believe that his prayers were being answered.

Finally, after months of intense fighting, the war came to an end. James was among the fortunate few who made it home, physically scarred but emotionally and spiritually stronger. When he reunited with his family, he fell to his knees in gratitude, overwhelmed by the fact that he had been spared, that God had indeed remembered him for good. He knew he had been given a second chance at life.

Years later, James would often share his story with others, telling them how he had cried out to God in the midst of war and how, in His mercy, God had heard his prayer. He would say, “I don’t know why I was spared, but I know that my prayers were answered. In the darkest of times, I called out, and God remembered me.”

James’ story is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of the most brutal circumstances, God hears the cries of His people. Just as Joseph called out for remembrance in his time of need, so too did James during the horrors of World War II. And in both cases, God’s response was one of mercy, protection, and deliverance.

Mark of Safety – Ezekiel 9:6

Much a do, about the quest to eradicate childhood killer diseases as well as reduce drastically the rate of infant mortality rate , by UNICEF in collaboration with some other corporate organizations mobilized resources for the development of vaccines to be administered to children. Although the cost of production of these vaccines is enormous, they have been made available free of charge to many developing nations where these killer diseases are prevalent..

Ezekiel 9: 6 says Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.

But the decision to take the vaccines for protection of ones child is always voluntary. Available statistics have shown however that the consequences have been fatal for parents and nations who rejected the vaccines. So, it is with salvation from sin; God provides it free for those who care for it, but there is damnation for those who reject it.

The passage gives clear record of Gods command for the inhabitants of Jerusalem as punishment for their sins and abomination. The order to destroy was without prejudice to sex, age and status. This reveals the fact that Gods judgement for sin, whenever it comes is always total, without any extraneous considerations.

Only the mark of the blood of Jesus can qualify us to escape Gods judgement. Regular church attendance, position held in the church and our busy activities with the work of God are not a guarantee for safety. As believer we ought to avoid carelessness in our walk with God. So

The small gate.

When Jesus say let not your heart be troubled. Sometimes, I hear people worry about the state of the nations. I am like why should I worry, the inevitable is going to happen no matter how much we try to delay it. So, I better prepare my mind for what is to come. All that i can do, is done and being done.. to tarry the time, Ultimately it boils down to this two scripture:

Matthew 7: 14

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 20: 16

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

One may slow the times, some may turn back the hands of times like Hezekiah and the queen of the south. But ultimately, the time will arrive, it cannot be but delayed any longer.

What I am certain of is the masters return is imminent and it is better to prepare, than worry. In the words of CeCe Winans, everyone wants candy bars, until we know the price it cost. One startling truth is if the blood of the sacrifice Jesus made for us, is not enough for us no other sacrifice can do. Afterall, God has shown man his own way, but they went in search for other ways. Ecclesiastes 7: 29.
