The Fundamentals of the Faith* (VI)

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (VI)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV)) 

_Bible Insight:_

The doctrine of eternal judgment teaches that all that we do in the flesh or while alive here on earth, shall be weighed on the balance by God's righteous yardstick. Many times, we gloss over the subject of judgment but it is indeed a very great matter before God. 

Jesus preached a lot about judgment. He kept reminding his audience about its weight and importance: 

In Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV), _"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."_

In Matthew 12:41-42 (KJV)  _"The men of Nineveh shall rise IN JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up IN THE JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."_

The doctrine of Judgment follows the reality and doctrine of resurrection. We are not like animals that die and simply return to dust. When we die, our spirits and souls are reaped by God waiting for judgement while our bodies return to dust. 

In 1 John 4:17 (KJV), it reads  *"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."*

This is indeed one doctrine that all must lay to mind. Like the day of exam for students, and they strive to be ready for that day, we too must bear the day of Judgment in mind, and ensure that we shall have confidence when that day comes. And so help us God. Amen. 

*MEDITATION:*

*For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?* (1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
