FREE FROM SLAVERY

-
A LETTER FROM PAUL TO PHILEMON Phiĺemon 1:1 Onesimus was once a slave to Phiĺemon. He fled! He was in bondage, discomforted with no hope of freedom; He fled which was a crime however, it was either that or he stayed a slave presumably forever.If you enslaved to anything of this world? Flee for your freedom and find refuge in God. God guided Onesimus to come into contact with Paul who introduced Christ to him. Now a born again, Paul asked him to return to his master who had also converted to Christianity.I for one would not have returned! Who knows what trauma Onesimus must have gone through as a slave and who knows the heart of PHILEMON? Had he genuinely accepted Jesus Christ as his LORD personal saviour? Was he going to see his slave as his brother in Christ? I trust Paul's judgement, if he was convinced that PHILEMON was a born again and was not going to harm Onesimus then it was right he sent him back.To the glory of God, a former slave was to be welcomed as a brother in Christ.You do not need to stay enslaved to your sins, flee and find refuge in the Most High. He would welcome you, purify you and fill you with the Holy Spirit and perfect you. Hallelujah!

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
