7 Lessons from the Life of Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot lived a life that ended on a poor note and that is why many believers keep asking questions as to whether or not we can learn any lessons from the life of Judas. The truth is that lessons can be either positive or negative and so it is necessary too learn from the life of Judas so that the mistakes he made are not repeated by any believer. Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve (12) disciples of Jesus Christ. In fact, he was one of the most popular disciples of Jesus Christ. This po

How can I have a personal relationship with God?

In the beginning of human history, Adam and Eve enjoyed a personal relationship with God ( Genesis 2 ). Yet because of sin this relationship was broken. All of humanity now has a sin nature and lives separated from God. Is there a way we can be forgiven of our sin and restored to personal relationship with God? Yes! Many think of salvation , or accepting Jesus as Savior , as simply a way to get to heaven, which it is. However, salvation is so much more —it's how we can have a personal relationsh

Return of Christ: As the Days of Noah Were by Jim Franks

As corruption, violence and evil increase, our world teeters on the brink of self-destruction. Jesus Christ’s promise to come again offers our only real hope. According to the Pew Research Center, 41 percent of Americans believe Jesus Christ will return in the next 40 years, but 46 percent don’t believe He will. The numbers in other, less religious nations would be much different. How can we know if He will return—and when? What does the Bible say? Is our world like the days of Noah? In speaking

Staying Warm in a Spiritually Cold World by Clyde Kilough

In the last days, the Bible warns of times of stress that can turn people cold as ice. Consider four points to help keep your love from growing cold. The 12 men gathered on the hillside overlooking Jerusalem were intensely curious, even somewhat unsettled, about what was coming. Some of the impending events their leader had warned them of were fairly clear in their minds, although questions of when and how these things would unfold troubled them. The nature and timing of other big events, though

“As a Thief in the Night” by Caleb Froedge

The return of Christ will bring great joy! But before that comes a time of sorrow and a warning not to let it catch us off guard “as a thief in the night.” Do you remember eagerly waiting for the final bell to sound at school before summer break? I vividly remember standing close to the door, waiting with great expectancy, knowing that the bell was going to sound at any moment. All of my classmates were excited too, because when the bell sounded, it was time to start having some real fun. It was

Scoffers in the Last Days by Rod Williams

The Bible warns about scoffers dismissing end-time prophecies. What does this mean for Christians living in the end times Peter warned about scoffers in the last days in 2 Peter 3:3-4: “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” What is a scoffer? “Scoffers” in 2 Peter 3:3 is from the Greek word empaíktēs , meaning

As in the Days of Noah: Warnings for Today by Chris Moen

Jesus Christ said that end-time events would be like those during the days of Noah. What were those conditions like, and why should we be concerned? Discussing the time near His return to earth, Jesus declared, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:26-27). It appears people thought they were

Watch and Pray by Tyrone Yarde

Jesus Christ told us to “watch … and pray always.” What does the Bible mean when it tells us to watch and pray? Here are four aspects of being watchful. One of the most strongly emphasized warnings in the Gospels is the command to watch . But what does it mean to watch? The Greek words translated “watch” basically mean to watch, keep awake, be circumspect, be attentive, be ready and be cautious. This article explains four ways the command to watch and pray can be applied to our Christian lives.

MUST I BE BAPTISED

Christian Living: Living the Way Jesus Wants by Mike Bennett

Jesus came to give His followers an abundant life—full of purpose, potential and joy. But Christian living has challenges. How do we live the life Jesus wants? The Christian way of life is the best way of life possible! Jesus said He came so His followers “may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 ). God’s way of living has great benefits for this life and offers “pleasures forevermore” in the next (1 Timothy 4:8 ; Psalm 16:11 ). That doesn’t mean that Christian livin

Who Will Fight in the Battle of Armageddon? by Rod Williams

Armageddon has come to mean total destruction, shorthand for the end of the world. What does the Bible say about the armies that will gather at Armageddon? The word Armageddon appears only once in the Bible, referring to a critical moment at the end of this age. Armageddon is the gathering place for “the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:14, 16). Interest in Armageddon is strong, and for good reason. Considering world events, it seems the fulfillment of this end-time proph

THE POWER INSIDE YOU BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, 7TH DECEMBER. THE POWER INSIDE YOU BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). The responsibility for your life isn’t so much with God as it is with you. Some people blame God for every unfortunate event in their lives and in the world, and that’s because they don’t know Him. Indeed, He’s God, and He’s all-powerful; with Him all things a

“Does what I do really matter?”

Have you ever felt like your hard work went unnoticed or didn’t make a difference? King David is the only person in the Bible who God calls a man after His own heart . But even David felt overlooked. When God told Samuel to anoint the next king of Israel, Samuel met with Jesse and his sons. Each of Jesse’s sons appeared to have the qualities of a good king, but God didn’t choose any of them. “… the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The L

Who is the Antichrist?

Who is the Antichrist? John’s letters are the only books in the Bible to mention a figure called the antichrist, and John never says that there is just one. But even more surprisingly, John says antichrists are not preoccupied with world domination, but with teaching inside churches. The word “antichrist” evokes fear for many of us. Doomsday images of a quasi-human-spiritual power or world leader who hunts and kills Christians fill our minds. And many of us worry about what might happen to our f

Rapture

Rapture The rapture of the church is near, we can see the signs every, the judgment of the lord will be nothing to compare, That is why we have to preach the gospel everywhere. At the blast of the first trumpet the dead in Christ will rise then at the second we who are alive will be caught up to meet the Lord in the clouds. We will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye, just as we fly. what a day of celebration and greeting with everyone and we will worship the Lord. I see the disease and pe

If not for you Who was on our side. When men came against us, When the world seemed to have turned their back on us, When there was no hope.

Collosians 1:27 But thanks be to God who has overcome the world and has given us victory," 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 5:4 for everyone born
