JESUS, THE PERFECT SACRIFICE



NOW FROM THE SIXTH HOUR [noon], UNTIL THE NINTH 
  HOUR [3 P M], THERE WAS DARKNESS OVER ALL THE 
  LAND. AND ABOUT THE NINTH HOUR JESUS CRIED OUT
  WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELI, ELI, LAMA 
  SABACHTHANI?"  THEN, BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE 
  TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM; 
  AND THE EARTH QUAKED, AND THE ROCKS WERE 
  SPLIT.
                ( MATTHEW 27:45 & 51 *NKJV )

      Friend, the Holy Veil being torn from top to bottom 
  signified God's opening up the Temple [Church] to all 
  people, Gentile as well as Jew.  Thus making us all part 
  of the Body of Christ!

      You see, the temple veil separated the most holy place
  called the "Holy of Holies," where God was to reside, from
  the people.  Only the high priest was allowed to pass behind
  the veil, and then only on the "Day of Atonement." ( see LEV 
  16:20 )  Thus, the people of the Old Testament could only 
  approach God through a priest and a blood sacrifice to be
  forgiven of their sins.

      Also of note; Jesus died exactly at 3 PM, which was the 
  exact time of the evening sacrifice at the temple.

      Therefore Christ became our sacrifice, for that is why
  John the Baptist said; "BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD WHO 
  TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD." ( JOHN 1:29 ) 
  when he saw Jesus coming.  Also the Apostle Paul wrote;
  FOR INDEED CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER, WAS SACRIFICED 
  FOR US. THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST.  
  ( 1 CORINTHIANS 5:7 )  Amen.

      Have a wonderful weekend Friend, and why not attend
  the Church of your choice as we celebrate Christ's
  Resurrection this Easter Sunday!

      Also Friend, if you have children, please teach them what 
  Easter is really all about, so they do not grow up thinking
  it is only about bunny rabbits and colored eggs and candy.

New- Better than Queen Esther Book

A book is a door to someone's discovery. An access to an invaluable reservoir of knowledge and understanding. More importantly, a book inspired by God's word, is much more invaluable. Nothing can be compared to the unsearchable wisdom embedded in the depth of God's word being dug out in simple terms in form of a book. *Better than Queen Esther* is a epitome of divine touch in prints for today's generations and the ones unborn. Mysteries are revealed, practical indoctrination is simplified. It's the best birthday gift for that couple, friend, pastor, cousin, colleague... It touches relationship, marriage, power, position, leadership, self control and mastery. Get a copy from  Jumia

Let Thy Pain Drive Thee

N ecessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Something becomes a necessity when its presence is required; its absence might also cause a little amount of pain. So, when people begin to find alternatives to reducing these pain, invention sprung up. So, I say, “let thy pain direct thee”. Life has never been a bed of roses and it will never be as long as humanity exist. Therefore, we all should expect pain in different levels. Sometimes the pain might be more. Other times, it might be less. But the fact remains that we will all experience pain in different aspect of our lives. But more importantly is the ability to learn from every pain we suffer or endure. Over the years, I realized that every good thing is wrapped in the arms of pain. Therefore, to claim a good thing, one has to overpower pain to achieve this goodness. Globally, economic and financial reports over decades have shown that inflation, depreciation and losses are consistent with human lives. In fact, the so c...

Fulfilling Christmas?

T oday is December 25 th , the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day. The world as we know enjoy celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends all is well just to have a full grasp of the day. Yes. All is well but is all really well? On a day like this, I spend more time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No! Life is all abo...
