Giving Thanks to God always for all Things I hear you and you are saying, you must be kidding. “Always for all things”? You are asking me to define “all things”? All things is “all things”, “everything” no exception and inclusive of all things. You are probably also saying maybe “all good things”. I mean “all things”, good and bad. And you also mean “always”? Yes, I mean “always”, every time, regularly. I am not making it up. Let’s look at the Scripture as Paul wrote to the Ephesians: 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21...

What Are You Looking For? Be Filled With The Spirit God told Abraham I am your exceedingly great reward. God is all we are to look for. We must be filled with Him – His Spirit at all times. Nothing else will satisfy you. Everybody is looking for the same thing. There is emptiness (a void) in each and everyone one of us – saved and unsaved. That emptiness must be filled. There are many ways to fill the void. You can get drunk and drugged. Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5 demands we “be filled with the Holy Spirit”. Listen to Paul: 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father...

Not as Fools – Redeem the Time This is the biblical definition of a fool. “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” (Psalm 53:1). Also it says, “And whoever spreads slander is a fool” (Proverbs 10:18). “To do evil is like sport to a fool” (Proverbs 10:23). “A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart” (Proverbs 18:2). Apostle Paul referred to the Galatians as foolish. “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?” Note that Paul did not call them fools but foolish. We can occasionally act foolishly even as believers in Christ but that does not make us fools. It is therefore necessary that we know how fools act in order to be wise. Have you seen a fool or former fool? Look at the mirror. We were once fools because at some point in our lives we l said and lived as if “there is no God”. Now if you still do not have a relationship wit...

You are Light in The Lord I remember growing up in Nigeria without light i.e. electricity supply of light and power. As a young person in my village, I did not look forward to the night fall because it becomes very dark quickly. I used to be very afraid going from one room of the house to the other without the lantern. I dreaded going outside not knowing what was out there. We used kerosene lamps for light and a family may just have one or two for the whole household. It has not changed so much since my childhood in my village and many other parts of the world. When you have electricity 24 hours, you don’t appreciate it until you are in darkness from one of the hurricane storms or some power outage. Without light we cannot exist. Total darkness is the ultimate hopeless. People in the developing World look expectantly to day break because life comes back with light and they can accomplish so much with the natural light. I have seen first-hand utter darkness without any form or trace...
