THE PURPOSE AND ORIGIN OF LIFE

Where did we get life ? From time immemorial, people have been asking : why was I born? Why did God make me ? Why am I here ? What is the purpose of life ? What is the meaning of life ? What is life itself? The answer of course is from our parents. Where did they get it ? From their parents. Inevitathep one goes back to Eden and the creation of man (Genesis 27), It is easy to see that all life comes from God( 1John 5:11-20). No wonder Jesus said , I am the life".

Various people have also gives various answers. Some says, "Life is the union of soul and body". This may be true of humans, but not of paints. Some say it is the period between birth and death. But life exists  before birth and after death. The Bible speaks of three kinds of life: Physical life, which was given to man at the time of creation; Spiritual life, winch is the new life that God gives to the believer in Jesus Christ ( Ephesians 2:1); Eternal life, which is the nature of life Lord God Himself.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN AND PURPOSE OF LIFE ?
Life is a moment of time to prepare for the long, long, eternity. In this brief, fleeting time called life, we are to accomplish our divinely appeared assignments. We also have to answer one question " Where do I wish to spend eternity? Is it forever in the Heaven or with the Satan in the burning hell ? The purpose of life is to let you personally choice the abiding place of your soul. Have you made the choice yet ?

WHAT CAN LIFE BE COMPARED AND HOW LONG IS THE LIFE SPAN

1. Life is like a journey (Genesis 47:3). We are travelling on this journey whether we like it or not. Birth is an automatic start. To some , it is long journey but to some, it is short whether is short or long, provided it ends . Before the flood that destroyed the first world ,the length of life of man as an average of 846 years ( Genesis 5), after the flood, the life span was reduced to 383 years ( Genesis 11). At the time of moses, there was a in comparison.
2. Life is like a flower. First we see the blade, the the leave and afterwards the beautiful but. Slowly, it open and we gasp at its beauty. Then it wither and is gone , gone so soon, so quickly.
3. Life is like a shadow.  A shadow is poor imitation of the real thing. Similarly, our physical life is a very poor imitation of eternal life just as seventy years is a poor imitation of eternity.
4. Lastly, Life is like a dream. Most dreams last at most a few minutes and soon after waking up, most dreams are forgotten. Similarly, some people live and are forgotten as soon as they die.
Remember, Life is like a dream .

WHEN ALL THINGS FAILS, GOD IS IN CONTROL

When things are not going the way we expected, as human we do experience one bad thing or the others but at any use or disposition God chooses to make of any part of His creation, His sovereign regn. God is accountable only to Himself. He does things in His own way, He is not required at any time to give to any person any explanation for anything He does. He is the almighty above all powers in every area of His creation. We as human do not expect to understand fully the purpose for our trials until our Lord calls us home to be with Him. But we do know that He loves us too much and He care so much about us, and that He is far more concerned with our welfare than we are. God's choices are always right. He is capable of carrying out any project to a successful conclusion without the possibility of fault or failure. Nothing on earth happens by chance or accident. For every effect there is a cause. God "worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory" . It was Wednesday, the Eighteen years of marriage of Mr and Ma Bobby without a child, They have try all their possible best looking for blessing of the womb, the doctor have try all what they can do so that Mrs Bobby can conceived but no good news. I waited expectantly in the corridor outside Mr Bobby's room. When the doctor appeared his remarks were brief and pointed. The doctor say" We are making arrangements to position your wife for the next treatment. He hesitated. I detected a bit of concern in his delayed reply. I was right. His words came slowly. "There is nothing more that we can do medically for Mrs. Bobby." He placed his hand on my shoulder and patted it gently. "I'm sorry," he said, and he walked away. I took her hand in mine. Then I assured her that there was nothing to fear because God was in control. But did I really believe that God was in control? The mere thought of questioning the sovereignty of God scared me. But then, the government of the universe is a question with which most of us have grappled at some time. We Christians affirm our belief in the sovereignty of God, but our faith is challenged in times of natural upheaval, national disaster, or personal affliction. Pain and poverty, disease and death, sorrow and suffering all tend to cause us to think seriously about God as creator and controller of the world of which we are a part. It is not always easy to believe that God is in control. I tell Mr and Mrs Bobby to believe in God and employed to follow God way , two of them accepted and we agreed to let God take control, Mr and Mr Bobby give their life to Christ and they begin prayer and fasting, I also help them in praying together, we do night vigil in their house and also in my house. After strong prayer and fasting , Mr and Mrs Bobby surrender all to God and they let God take control of their childlessness. To God be the glory Mrs Bobby conceived after three months of fasting and prayer, it was a God doing and is marvelous in our eye. Can you imaging ? What they have been looking for good eight year looking for worldly solutions was solve within just three months of God control. No matter what you are been going for days , months and years if you believe and move closer to God, He will take control and you problems , sadness will turn to joy. He is God, and He knows what we want and what we needs, all He needed from you is your faithfulness and holiness, and believe that He is in Control. Whatever you are going through, He is there for you, stop looking for worldly help but put all your trust and hope in Him, whatever that is above human solution in your life, remember , God is in control and He only can do all things.

WOLVES AMONG THE SHEEP

Business people easily trust others who are members of their Church, Mosque or social club and love to transact business with them. But as a Nigerian, never put your money into any business without thoroughly investigation and verifying the claims of your business partner.


Two year ago in a city in Nigeria, a certain Pastor who had a call to prison ministry, went a certain prison regularly, to witness to inmates of the inmates called Lawal, had been jail for armed robbery. As the Pastor continued to visit the person, Lawal came for an alter call and gave his life to Christ. The Pastor was very happy, since Lawal was originally a Muslim. It never crossed his kind Christian mind that Lawal was a pretender, an imposter.


Shortly after that, Lawal was released from prison after he had completed his sentence.
Filled with with joy, Pastor drove his car to agodi prison and picked Lawal. Lawal explained to Pastor that he had no place to go. That now he had become a Christian his family would kill him if he went to them. Pastor said, "No problem". And took Lawal to his own home, and gave him a room to live.


Pastor had just newly married and had a whole three bedroom flat to himself and his wife.
Lawal ate with the family , drank with the family , attended church programme and gave testimony of his conversions to the amazement and administration of fellow Christians.


Pastor gave Lawal the position of Personal Assistant and paid him accordingly. Lawal had become one with the family and knew the in and out of Pastor' s life.
Nine months later, Pastor's brother-in-law arrived from the United State on a visit.
He was on annual leave and had come to purchase a piece of land and build a House, so he came reasonable amount of money.
Pastor made contact with the estate agents, located a piece of land and they agreed on the price.
Pastor then went with his brother in law and lawal to change dollars to pay the land and start contradiction on the site. Lawal would supervise the construction work.
At Sabo, they collected cash of about N59 millon. This was on Friday evening. Payment would be made on Saturday morning.
Friday night was night vigil in the church, and Lawal was firt to leave home to church to see that all was in order before the arrival of the pastor.


Later in the evening,Pastor and his brother in law joined Lawal and others members at the church. Pastor 's wife was now heavy with pregnancy and could not attend. About 11 p.m the night vigil started , dancing and clapping, Lawal sneaked out of the church and went back home.
He enter into the house and explained to the pastor's wife that Pastor had forgotten something at home. She open the door and Lawal enter into pastor room, killed the pregnant woman , stole the money and disappeared.


That pastor was gentle, but not wise. He should not have brought an ex armed robber into his house for whatever reason under heaven.
