GIVE BIRTH TO THEM LEGALLY

Home and family is the foremost institution, in home and family life are brought forth and built up by inculcating values which then form characters. God has a processes and procedures for bring life (children) into being; these processes are marriage – family – home; in the order stated and a break in this order gives rise to illegality. There is a trend that is becoming much common in our society and this trend is prominent among people of great influence; the class the society view as superstars or celebrities. This trend is baby mama and baby daddy syndrome. Many want baby but they are not interested in the legal process that should precede bringing forth of babies. Someone has said, “If you love children bring them into the world legally. This is the way to show honor to these children”. Why will someone who has a means not be willing to do things right and legal? Is a question I have always asked; why choose to have baby mama when you have a great option and means to have a wi...

REPROBATE MIND PT5

Once one is given over to a reprobate mind, the acts and actions of such one becomes unimaginably wrong and absurd because it is the mind that defines our values and values inform our actions and behaviors. A corrupted mind begets a corrupted action, a debased mind a debased action, a deprived mind a deprived and defective actions. But is there hope for such ones? Yes there is, Jesus through His life, death, and resurrection has wrought a way of escape for all. Whoever accepts Christ receives the empowerment to be freed from this snare and trap of the devil John 3:16-17 16 “[L For] God loved the world so much that he gave his •one and only [only; unique only begotten; 1:14, 18] Son so that whoever believes in him may not •be lost [T perish], but have eternal life. 17 [L For; Indeed] God did not send his Son into the world to •judge the world guilty [condemn the world], but to save the world through him. There is a flow of grace for all that care to embrace His grace. This grace has a...

REPROBATE MIND PT4

4 [L For] Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us •patience [endurance] and encouragement so that we can have hope. Romans 15:4 (EXB) 11 The things that happened to those people are examples. They were written down to •teach [instruct; warn] us •who live in the final days of this age [L for whom the end/climax/culmination of the ages has come]. 1 Corinthians 10:11 (EXB) It is important to understand that the God of the Bible is not just our creator and maker, but our Father. He introduced Himself as such and Jesus in teaching His followers how to pray, addressed God as a Father. If you are a father or are blessed to have a good father, you will not struggle to understand who God is as a father. No father will give instruction and expect his children to go against the instruction so that he will punish them; fathers do not set rules as a trap for their children to fall into them and be injured. Instead fathers expect their children to ...

REPROBATE MIND PT3

26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them •rule [T have dominion] over the fish in the sea and the birds in the •sky [heavens], over the •tame animals [beasts; livestock], over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.” 27 So God created [1:1] •human beings [T man; C the Hebrew Adam can mean human beings, humankind, person, man, or the proper name Adam] in his image [C reflecting God’s nature/character and representing him in the world]. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. 28 God blessed them and said [L to them], “•Have many children and grow in number [T Be fruitful and multiply]. •Fill […and fill] the earth and •be its master [subdue it]. •Rule [T Have dominion] over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the •sky [heavens] and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:26-28 (Expanded Bible Version). 26 Because people did those things, God •abandoned them t...

REPROBATE MIND PT2

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient" (Romans 1:28) "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." (2Timothy 3:8) "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:16) A Reprobate Mind is a defective, debased, corrupted, depraved, unapproved, or rejected mind. Mind that has lost a sense of value and worth, lack character because of its rejection of common sense and reasoning. One becomes reprobate when knowing the truth, willfully goes against the very truth. Their lack the will to live by the truth and live in denial of what they have tested and proven to be true; because there is nothing one can tell them that they do not know already, they are given to a reproba...

REPROBATE (corrupted) MIND

Romans 1:21-32 (Expanded Bible Version) 21 They knew God, but they did not give glory to God or thank him. Their thinking became •useless [futile; pointless]. Their foolish [ignorant; uncomprehending] •minds [L hearts] were •filled with darkness [darkened].22 They claimed to be wise, but they became fools. 23 They •traded [exchanged] the glory of •God who lives forever [the immortal/imperishable God] for the worship of •idols [images] made to look like •earthly [mortal; perishable] people, birds, animals, and reptiles. 24 Because they did these things, God •abandoned them to [allowed them to pursue; gave them over to] •their sinful desires [L the desires of their hearts], resulting in •sexual impurity [L uncleanness; impurity] and the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. 25 They •traded [exchanged] the truth of God for •a lie [or the lie; see Gen. 3:4–5] and worshiped and served •the creation [or the creature; or created things] instead of the Creator, who •should be praise...

PUT UP A FIGHT

I have heard often times of people making a statement that life is not fair to them. But my response had always remained that life will never be fair. What is fairness then? It is simply free from bias or injustice; consistent with rules. So fairness do not just happen, it is enforced; rules are not kept by, they are as well enforced and that explains why we have the law court, the judiciary system, and the law enforcement agencies. Fairness are truly fought for and so the need to put up a fight to make life fair to you. There are two basic ways to put up this fight and they are enforcement and sowing a seed of fairness. ENFORCEMENT: It is said that life will not give anyone what is deserved but what is demanded. In enforcement, you make a demand of what you want, weathering all the storms and refusing to let go until your desire delivers. Be ready to fight it out. SOW A SEED OF FAIRNESS. ”he that comes to equity must come with a clean hand”. It is difficult to have justice when y...
