Let us try to go about our daily lives in peace

Tue, Jun 03, 2014

Editor:

Proverbs 16:18: “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Well, this is Sodom and Gomorrah again! All the wickedness and evil of man caused God to repent that he had made man on the earth. How sad! He said he will destroy man whom he has made, like he did in the past with a flood. What really bothers me, though, is within the whole world at that time, only Noah and his family found righteousness.{{more}} Where were all the people who were claiming to be Christians? Noah found favour with God, so God commanded him to build an ark (Genesis 17). After Noah built the ark he was mocked by the people and when the day came, rain began to cover the land and mountains. At this point the people began to run to Noah, but it was too late, the door was already closed by God. Noah had preached for many years the word of God, but no one accepted the invitation. They called him a mad man and allowed the animals to take their places.

The time is coming again, but this time it will be fire and brimstone. Let us be like Noah and his family. We can do it with God in us. Salvation is free my people, it is for you, the rich, the poor and the middle class. Do not wait until it is too late. The place that the Lord is preparing for his saints will be a place where there will be no more sickness, no more pain and no more trouble. All the things you are going through right now will be no more. Every day we lose loved ones through crimes, but there is hope in Christ Jesus. All we need to do is believe in God and believe in ourselves. I will say this again: we need to stop the hate and jealousy, especially in the church. When we say “together”, we should mean together. When we say “peace” we should mean it. Do not say it because you can call the word, because destruction will befall us. There is a lot of pretence in this country and even in the house of God. Let us try to go about our daily lives in peace and come out with our cups overflowing. Bad attitude can cause us to be weak and miserable. Remember, when you start the journey towards a peaceful life, there will be people who will condemn you, but as long as you are following God, everything will be ok. Know that the Lord is pleased with you, smile and continue. I do it, so can you! I believe in praying a lot. I know that it was because of prayer that I’m alive today. When I see the evil that is going on today it makes me sad. Let me say this to you: when you pray, pray for your enemies. The Lord said to bless them that curse you. He said to do this and he will do the rest! Keep sweet in the Lord!
