A SYMBOL

-

 The symbol of Christianity is a cross not a crown.   Every country has a flag, with colours that tell stories of the toils of it's people. Every school has a crest, designed with symbols they believe represent the values of the school. How about Christianity? Do we need a flag or a crest? Maybe or maybe not. Christianity is not just a fellowship, it's a family and our symbol is the cross. Why the cross? Why not a crown, since our God is a king? Why not any other thing you can think of? I'll tell you why, what do Christians hold dearly? What gives them hope? What event made a difference from other families? The death of Christ! Yes Jesus Christ's death, it may have been an inhuman experience but it saved us, breaking the boundary between man and God. Now that we know one of our symbols, let's value the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us and look up to Him at all times.

FADE AWAY

 You only notice the beauty of the sky when your surroundings are dark. When was the last time you admired the stars in the sky? When was the last time you saw a full moon? I'm positive that you hardly pay attention to them because other things have your attention. Sometimes you don't notice how lucky you are, because you are surrounded by problems; you prefer to see the problems than your privileges. Problems are very destructive, they blind you even in the face of solutions. Try it, assess the privileges you enjoy and let the problems fade away  for a while.

WHY WORRY

-
Inspiration from the following bible verses John 14:1 "Do not be worried and upset," Believe" in God and believe also in me. John 14:27 "Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. John 16: "I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!" Why worry? It looks like the easiest thing to do when there is no solution. Why not worry? It doesn't solve the problem.I use to worry about everything. From my body to other people's problems. It just seemed natural to me, I felt worrying only meant that I cared a lot. I worried about things I had no control over and that was very stressful.Worrying doesn't just drain you of your energy, it brings about fear and panic and deprives you of peace.Is worrying a solution? No! Does worrying provide a solution?

GENESIS 18: 1-15 The Three Visitor she LORD appeared unto Abraham. After reading, kindly note these;He was at the right place. He was sensitive. He was generous,He was favoured in the sight of the visitors He had faith. Abraham was sensitive enough to know who they were, (3 in number) he offered them water to wash their feet, a place of rest and food. After the feast, the LORD prophesied the birth of Isaac, Sarah doubted it, shouldn't that have angered the LORD? Doubt hinders the fulfilment of prophecies. Abraham believed in the LORD, presumably his faith was strong enough to receive the word from the LORD. Note this, the three visitors were on their way to visit Sodom and Gomorah, to destroy them; for their sins had angered the LORD. On His way to destroy a city. He blessed one who had found favour in His sight. Mind you, Lot and his family lived in the same city destined for doom. What was to become of Abraham's nephew? He had settled in a wrong place, was he to be spare
