THE FLEETING GLORY I ONCE KNEW


B Y     J E A N I N E     K O N G O



I have experienced a glorious past

Not everyone is born in the church. While some were big pagans in a Christian body. Others have experienced the unimaginable. I am one of those who have known the world in a particular way and who have proudly shared it spicing it with exaggerations in front of other Christians "old bosses" just to “save face" in the debates about old times. There was this effort to give the impression that I was also an intimidating figure. This image is built upon many lies, or unspoken truths or things that people can easily believe without having to prove it ... (I know this terrain so well lol)

Of what use are these "professional experiences" on a CV that is supposed to be dead at the cross? How should I boast of having been a hard time if I have now experienced real life in CHRIST?

And I look upon all things as a loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord, for whom I have forsaken all things, and look upon them as mud, to win Christ,

What is the level of the excellence of the knowledge that I have of JESUS ​​so that I look at this "glory" passed like mud? This question led me to drop my "ranks", "stripes" gleaned at the risk of my life and to introduce myself as someone who wants to win CHRIST. There will always be those false mentors who will tell their past so gloriously that whoever is born in the church will be tempted to go for a ride in the world, comparison is not right! If you want to tell your past life, check that it has gone well. Do not recount things with a smirk, like Ah, the memory of the beautiful era! If this is still the case, I urge you to thoroughly analyze your walk with the Lord. He must renew all our thoughts, I say ALL.

Tell the truth about struggles, temptations, falls and relapses. Stop the make-believe that the world is great and we come out of it overnight. Egyptian cucumbers are often lacking in the desert and one must learn to appreciate the manna that contains spiritual teachings. The deeper the world is rooted in us, the more the restoration work of the Holy Spirit is doubly so. Guilt, bitterness, regrets ... But where sin has abounded, grace has abounded!

I experienced and survived things that would have taken another person quietly. Am I a tough girl? No, I am the fruit of his grace.

If the "testimony" of someone is weakening your principles regarding your walk with GOD, take hold of yourself afresh. Not all the mentors are not models. Those people who tell you that they had pre-marital sex were able to get married without a problem, is that approved of the Lord? Are people who use business fraud but thrive are still connected to the real vine?

Not everyone is worthy of our admiration. We go to and we end up touching what we admire. To read my other articles about the models. https://bit.ly/2JzbR3i

One day, I will tell my story, from the dust to the Distinction!

LEAH SHARIBU, THE TRIUMPH OF CONVICTION IN CHRIST

By David Pam McQuel Leah Sharibu 15 Years Old's Triumph of Faith. This unfortunate captivity of Leah Sharibu is unacceptable to Christians, to Nigeria, to all true freedom loving people of the world and to the modern civilization. Azuka Onwuka's op-ed in the Nigerian Punch newspaper, The trial of Leah Sharibu, the sacrificial lamb", When the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls were returned last week by Boko Haram terrorists , a new story developed from the kidnap saga. Excluding the five dead girls that did not make it back, only one girl named Leah Sharibu was not brought back by the terrorists . The reason given was that she refused to renounce Christianity and convert to Islam . Consequently, Boko Haram members refused to release her." The BBC gave an account of the abduction. "Militants stormed the town on the evening of Monday, 19 February. They headed towards the compound of a girls' boarding school as they fired guns into the air. F...

THE BALANCED APPROACH TO MISSIONS

E t h a n   D a u d a   Y u s u f Am I successful in my ministry and calling? Is my success measured by the size of my worship centre, the number of my church members, the amount of tithes and offerings? Who sets the standard? Before we answer the above questions, let's consider the words of Jesus Christ in the gospel of Matthew 28. "18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" The above scripture clearly states what Jesus Christ require from us. The mandate is to make disciples. How do we do this. Firstly, to baptize them, this symbolizes initiation into the body of Christ. The second is teaching them. Teaching does not simply mea...

THE CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITY

By David Pam McQuel Merry Christmas! As we all are aware, the festive season is here. No matter what your religious or theological conviction is, you certainly cannot ignore the season. So much expectations, so much preparations and so many plans. Christmas is a time of joy for so many. Especially those who affiliate with Christianity and those who look forward to making financial gain from sales. For others it is the holiday attached to it. A much anticipated time of rest and social gatherings. Among Christians, the debate will rage again as to whether Christmas is biblical or pagan, how it all started, and how serious Christians should either be involved or abstain. While many write it off as a Catholic ritual and others see it as the Roman emperor Constantine defiling a thriving Church. And others argue vehemently on the exact month of birth of Christ. Surely the theological warfare is at boiling point. There are two things we need to focus on. 1. The fact...
