Once Saved Forever Saved...Where The Theme 'Eternal Salvation' Is Misunderstood.

The only place we see the theme or phrase 'eternal salvation' in scripture is in  Hebrews 5:9 "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him". It is funny to see men speak of eternal salvation without emphasising obedience to Christ as Lord. He is the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Let me put it this way 'Eternal salvation' is a book and Christ is the author but then he says it is those that obey him that would have their names eternally etched in the book. One becomes a vain talker/preacher when he speaks of eternal salvation and tells people that once they receive Christ they are eternally saved no matter what they do. It's high time such vain talkers kept quiet and listen to the author himself. Now let's listen to the author of eternal salvation and hear his emphasis on obedience as a prerequisite for access to the holy city and the tree of life. Revelation 22 13  I am Al

This Is Your Time, My Clime, My Tribe.

You're most hated, most marginalised, most vilified & in your agitation for freedom you're labeled "terrorists", branded as "rogues" & you cry "Why me? why my clime? why my tribe?   Yes you! Because it's your time and you were chosen for this moment. Remember Joseph...most hated of his brethren yet chosen of God. Have you ever wondered why you've been the one going after your brethren in Shechem and in Dothan, investing your time, your wealth, buying and building in their fields, plying your trade in their regions with joy while they often conspire to slay you or send you away?  (Genesis 37:13-18). Oh you're the most killed among the tribes. You're not in the pack of your brethren in the juicy positions & green areas on the field. You've never been allowed to sit in the Villa.  The coat of many colours bestowed on you from the beginning as beloved of the Father, they tore & turned crimson with the b

Contentment...A Great Virtue.

We're sadly in a day in Christendon when contentment is seen as complacency & many preach against being satisfied with one's level/status in life; much of the emphasis is on gain, material prosperity, increase, breakthrough, moving forward, next level, enlargement, advancement, spreading, growth etc. Sadly, more than 90% of the gospel preached today centers on these things, thus material prosperity & advancement/gain in this life has become synonymous with godliness in the 21st century church. If after some years of being born again you're still poor then something must be wrong with your faith. The poor saints are treated with ignominy, considered to be under a curse, ignorant of God's word & urged to give/sow their way out of the curse of poverty instead of having their needs ministered to, while the rich are seen as pillars in the church & often ordained as deacons, not to minister to the needs of saints but to bear the financial burden of mundane &#
