Know Thy Purpose

You can decide to be an animal.
And this existence is nothing. You came by chance.
And that, you have no soul.
This is it !!!, you die you die !!!. life is a chance.
All the natural phenomenon has no meaning, we are just here
to eat,sleep,grow,multiply and die.
You can decide not to govern your life with any
commandment,or moral guidance.you can decide to lie with all the men you want,all the women you want,
intoxicate all the time you want.get all the money you want,just live
a life without purpose.
you can decide to get all the education you want.all the knowledge you
want.all the pleasure you want in this world.
you can decide to spend all the time you want whining and whining about the pleasures of the world.
But are we here to enjoy all these and die.
Or are we on a spiritual course? Are we in a survival realm?
How come no one remember before birth.or knows after death.
This kind of thinking requires us to think out of the box.but before we go into it.
There is only one question. WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR.
All these amazing atoms,molecules,galaxies,planets,and these marvelous miracles of life
just occurred and occurred without a purpose ?
You can decide to think so. Or you can decide to think the opposite.

But after all these what will man gain under the sun.
Is it not death.So are these all not meaningless if we live
and die for nothing. What is the purpose of our existence?
Are we here for a purpose. is there a guideline.
Are we all part of a bigger plan made by some greater and mighty Supernatural Being?.
I think so .
You can decide to think you are human.
you have a soul. there is something in you
that cannot be satisfied apart from money,
pleasure,luxury,food.
but that you are here for a reason.
And every thing that you do is meaningless
unless you for fill that purpose.And that death is not the end but only the beginning.There is more to it.
This is a test. And you will pass it.

Which is your choice.
Are you playing with your life.
Or do you have a purpose and a meaning to this life.
I HAVE A PURPOSE.. AND I HOPE YOU DO TO.
MY PURPOSE IS TO WORSHIP A MIGHTY AND GREAT GOD.
who created me.and that , the only way for me to survive
this life and the one after is through him.
And that in him and through him i move and do everything.
Without him i can do nothing.
Even though am a sinner,through his son,and by the shedding of his blood i am saved into his glory.
And he is the only salvation to my survival.
My purpose is to seek him.and the only way to seek him is to read the bible my self, ask for his guidance to understand the bible.
And also through the bible i will be made a vessel to help other people also to seek him. and his kingdom.

There is a great God. A mighty God. he made this world with just the sound of his voice. by a command every thing came to be.
Who is more powerful than such a God with such a mighty Command.I call him the ultimate Supernatural programmer.
He coded and programmed every thing with his voice.
It is only us, humans that he made with his hands.
This tells you how precious we are to him.

If only you will leap out of your conceptual poverty of understandings about the world. and start seeking him. ELOHIM.
if only you will fix your mind. and renew from your old way of thinking about this world
If only you will recieve him as your personal saviour, and that he should come into your heart.
Then you will start gettin all the answers.he will speak to you.when you seek him. You shall hear his voice. that small voice. you will be govern by his voice.
you just have to get out of your wants, needs,pleasures,imaginations and fix those hunger with the hunger for God.
it is only when you seek him that all these things will be added.
you have to make him your pillar of hope,purpose,will,want,needs. you must make him you love story.

But how do you get out of your bondages, iniquities and accends into his glory.
you must make him above every thing.how do you change your perceptions and senses about this world.
we have all live a life based on our five senses. sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.Every thing in this world is a manifestation of these senses. Let take televison. is a manifestation of the sight sense.we want to see more out of the world. to be entertained and to know what is going on around.the same thing applies to hearing.=> sound systems,radio,instruments etc.touch,smell and taste all add up to this tree.
But what if there is another sense that is not physical but is in us.and that it also needs a manisfestation in this world.
and the only way to manisfest it is to search for our purpose.

To be able to worship the supreme God. you must always be ready to sacrifice any of these senses in other to please him.
After all he made them.and he can restore them.He just want to know whether you value him who made those senses for you. or you value those senses he made.
Would you spend more time with the architect or the architecture.
would you waist more time with the artwork or the artist.
Istead of always using and consuming the products, why not ask why was the product made.and who made. and that how can everything in this world is made with soo much beauty and parttern.
Was the world designed for a purpose.
I think the most important thing in this world right now is to search for the one who made all these things that we are soo
much enjoying, consuming and destroying.

If the world that we see is soo mysterious and wierd. and what about the one who created it.
how mysterious is HE.
This is the kind of God am talking about.We must search for this greater power.
The omnipresense,elohim.I AM THAT I AM. the only one.God yet the trinity.
And the answer is in the bible.
Why are most people so blind with the pleasures of the world that they cant even migrate to the level of asking themselves why they are HERE.
the most important thing is to know why you are here.

Did Jesus Really Rise From The Dead ?

We all wonder what will happen to us after we die. When a loved one dies, we long to see him or her again after our turn comes. Will we have a glorious reunion with those we love or is death the end of all consciousness?

Jesus taught that life does not end after our bodies die. He made this startling claim: “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again.” According to the eyewitnesses closest to him, Jesus then demonstrated his power over death by rising from the dead after being crucified and buried for three days. It is this belief that has given hope to Christians for nearly 2000 years.

But some people have no hope of life after death. The atheistic philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote, “I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my own ego will survive.”1 Russell obviously didn’t believe Jesus’ words.

Jesus’ followers wrote that he appeared alive to them after his crucifixion and burial. They claim not only to have seen him but also to have eaten with him, touched him, and spent 40 days with him.

So could this have been simply a story that grew over time, or is it based upon solid evidence? The answer to this question is foundational to Christianity. For if Jesus did rise from the dead, it would validate everything he said about himself, about the meaning of life, and about our destiny after death.

If Jesus did rise from the dead then he alone would have the answers to what life is about and what is facing us after we die. On the other hand, if the resurrection account of Jesus is not true, then Christianity would be founded upon a lie. Theologian R. C. Sproul puts it this way:

“The claim of resurrection is vital to Christianity. If Christ has been raised from the dead by God, then He has the credentials and certification that no other religious leader possesses. Buddha is dead. Mohammad is dead. Moses is dead. Confucius is dead. But, according to…Christianity, Christ is alive.”2

Many skeptics have attempted to disprove the resurrection. Josh McDowell was one such skeptic who spent more than seven hundred hours researching the evidence for the resurrection. McDowell stated this regarding the importance of the resurrection:

“I have come to the conclusion that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most wicked, vicious, heartless hoaxes ever foisted upon the minds of men, OR it is the most fantastic fact of history.”3

So, is Jesus' resurrection a fantastic fact or a vicious myth? To find out, we need to look at the evidence of history and draw our own conclusions. Let’s see what skeptics who investigated the resurrection discovered for themselves.
Jesus Christ spoke of life being full of meaning and purpose. He said that we are important to God, and our meaning in life can only be fulfilled by a relationship with our Creator.

However, many think that Jesus Christ wants us to become religious. They think Jesus came to take all the fun out of life, and give us impossible rules to live by. They are willing to call him a great leader from the past, but say he is not relevant to their lives today.

Josh McDowell was a college student who thought Jesus was just another religious leader who set up impossible rules to live by. He thought Jesus was totally irrelevant to his life.
Then one day at a student union lunch table McDowell sat next to a vibrant young coed with a radiant smile. Intrigued, he asked her why she was so happy. Her immediate reply was, “Jesus Christ!”

Jesus Christ? McDowell bristled, firing back:

“Oh, for God’s sake, don’t give me that garbage. I’m fed up with religion; I’m fed up with the church; I’m fed up with the Bible. Don’t give me that garbage about religion.”

But the unfazed young coed calmly informed him,

“Mister, I didn’t say religion, I said Jesus Christ.”

McDowell was stunned. He had never considered Jesus more than a religious figure, and didn't want any part of religious hypocrisy. Yet here was this joyful Christian woman talking about Jesus as someone who had brought meaning to her life.

Jesus Christ claimed to answer all the deep questions about our existence. At one time or another, many of us question what life is all about. Have you ever gazed up at the stars on a pitch-black evening and wondered who put them there? Or have you ever seen a sunset and thought about life’s biggest questions:

“Who am I?”
“Why am I here?”
“Where am I going after I die?”

Although other philosophers and religious leaders have offered their answers to the meaning of life, only Jesus Christ proved his credentials by rising from the dead. Skeptics like McDowell who originally scoffed at Jesus’ resurrection, have discovered that there is compelling evidence that it really occurred.

If we take his words seriously, Jesus offers life with real meaning. He said that life is much more than making money, having fun, being successful, and then ending up in a graveyard. Yet, many people still try to find meaning in fame and success, even those who have already made it to the mountaintop.

Madonna attempted to answer the question of, "Why am I here?" by becoming a diva, confessing, "There were many years when I thought fame, fortune, and public approval would bring me happiness. But one day you wake up and realize they don't..I still felt something was missing..I wanted to know the meaning of true and lasting happiness and how I could go about finding it."1

Others have given up on finding meaning. Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the Seattle grunge band Nirvana, despaired of life at age 27 and committed suicide. Jazz-age cartoonist Ralph Barton also found life to be meaningless, leaving the following suicide note: "I have had few difficulties, many friends, great successes; I have gone from wife to wife, and from house to house, visited countries of the world, but I am fed up with inventing devices to fill up 24 hours of the day."2

Pascal, the great French philosopher believed this inner void we all experience can only be filled by God. He states, "There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which only Jesus Christ can fill."3 If Pascal is right, then we would expect Jesus to not only answer the question of our identity and meaning in this life, but also to give us hope for life after we die.

Can there be meaning, without God? Not according to atheist Bertrand Russell, who wrote, "Unless you assume a god, the question of life's purpose is meaningless."4 Russell resigned himself to ultimately "rot" in the grave. In his book, Why I am not a Christian, Russell dismissed everything Jesus said about life's meaning, including his promise of eternal life.

But if Jesus actually defeated death as eyewitnesses claim, (See “Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?”) then he alone would be able to tell us what life is all about, and answer, "Where am I going?" In order to understand how Jesus' words, life, and death can establish our identities, give us meaning in life, and provide hope for the future, we need to understand what he said about God, about us, and about himself.

Day 4_ Buliding the Sheep Gate


Building the sheep gate. Nehemiah 3: 1Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors. They consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel.  First let discuss the nature of a sheep. A sheep is an animal with a very interesting and humbling nature. John 10:7
 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. yes Jesus is the Door of the sheep. If Jesus is the door of the sheep. Then who is the sheep? us. We must adapt the humbling nature of the sheep if we really want to make it. it is only when we are humbled like the sheep that the lord will protect us. Before you even become a sheep. you must be a lamb. so let start from the infants.
Lambs dont have any teeth. Therefore cant bite. This is a message telling God we cant do the fight alone cos we dont have the amunitions. it is him alone who can fight for us .And thats why he is the Door of the sheep. watch this clip

You cannot be violent like the wolf with fangs when building Gods wall. Allow the Gate Keeper to protect you while you are building the wall. That's why the Gate sheep was built.And the Gate keeper is Jesus Christ. Our wall is being protected by Jesus Christ. All you got to do is to be humble,pray and worship him. And about worshiping. Nehemiah 3:1 They consecrated it and set its doors. They consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel. Consecration is the solemn dedication to a special purpose or service, we must consecrate him and he will protect us. The word "consecration" literally means "to associate with the sacred" you must always worship God in a sacred way.Any thing that you do must me sacred. the way you talk,walk,eat,laugh,even your thinking. Once you adapt the nature of the sheep. You are protected by the Sheep Gate.
