MARRIED TO GODSLOVE

-
A Poem
To all the guys and Kuuku
Married to a woman who fears God more
Than she fears me, what do I have to fear?
Since, with all her being she loves God more
How will I ever lack genuine acts of love?

In the morning she gathers her household
At the feet of her beloved Lord
Through the day she goes about her toils
Solely minded of His pleasure, she smiles

Before bedtime, she kneels in His adoration,
She supplicates, forgives and intercedes 
My name comes up somehow and my place 
Is made secure before the throne of grace

Were she to fear or love me more than God 
She would soon be angry and very afraid
That I am unable to care like God would
And she would be a heavy load on my head

So, my son, this key too I give you:
When your time comes to find a wife
Look out for a woman like your mother, who
Fears and loves God more than she loves you

BIBLE THROWBACK

-
The Bible explains itself. The Lord Jesus and the writers of the New Testament books and letters were proven by the Old Testament Scripture (OT). Their hearers and readers generally knew the OT context of their statements. Here are five key samples:   "FISHERS OF MEN" THROWBACK ““Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I will send for many FISHERMEN,” says the LORD, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:14-16 NKJV “And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called P...

OUTREACH METHODS AND PRACTICES

-
Outreach Methods and Practices – COP’s Biblical Model Acts 20:18-21 I lived among you, As we send the pastor to live among the people so do all our members who have travelled to live in any community consider the lives of their hosts theirs to save: They do not just live there, they also live rightly, as models, as earthly strangers, showing by their lifestyles that they are transformed people. Serving God in humility and with tears... Our lives and activities in the community clearly show that we serve God, not ourselves. Neither had we come just for our benefits, but as missionaries, willing to endure persecution and share in hardships. Proclaiming: (Announcing publicly or formally; to state something emphatically and openly) The message of the Lord is carefully announced regularly in the community, as the population really changes constantly 1.       Public Rallies 2.       Laced Public Concerts an...

The Story of Redemption as told through Israel

-
One very useful way of "unlocking" the Bible is to check how the Old Testament tells the story of the New Testament. After all the OT is said to be a shadow of the NT (Col 2:17, Heb 10:1). What would be our take on the following? Where do the realities of these shadows occur in the NT? 1. Journey to Egypt 2. Slaves to Pharaoh 3. The “futility” of all the plagues but one to weaken Pharaoh's grip 4. The Passover Lamb 5. Deaths of the firstborns that broke Pharaoh's grip 6. Pharaoh's pursuit 7. The Red Sea 8. The Desert 9. Pillar of Fire and Cloud 10. Manna 11. The Attacks in the Desert 12. The Apostasy and Punishments 13. The Midian Mix and the Grumblings 14. The Bronze serpent 15. Jordan 16. Manna stops 17. Warfare in Canaan 18. The Law 19. The Ark 20. The Tabernacle 21. The Gradual Take over If you really want to build people up, do not shy away from doing this. God contracted Israel mainly for the purpose of telling this story, to make salvation meaningful ...
