GOD WISHES TO DO FOR YOU TOO WHAT HE DID FOR JESUS CHRIST


Sometimes ago, on one of my evangelical outings, a friend and I came across a group of young handsome looking guys in their workshop. From their looks one could tell that they didn't want us around, but one who seemed to be the owner of the workshop welcomed us as most people often welcome street evangelists. He made us feel comfortable within the little space of the shop. Being allowed by the head, some of the other guys stayed, while the rest just found a way to excuse themselves.

We prayed together without any of the guys closed their eyes and their boss busy pressing the cell phone in his hand. After the prayer, my partner started preaching about the sin of humanity and the love of God through Jesus Christ. None of them really shown a sense of interest and their boss was just busy pressing his phone without lifting his head. Awhile later, my partner stopped and I asked me if I had something to say to which I answered yes. I opened my Bible and about to talk, when the boss looked up and asked me to stop with that kind of i-am-tired-of-this attitude. Without hesitation, I said ok.

"Look, look, I thank you for your effort and love." He said. Then continued. "You have really tried. I have been listening to all your talks since. And none of them is new. But I want to ask you a question which I have been asking even bigger men of God to explain the mystery behind it. And none of them have been able to give me satisfactory explanation about it."

I rejoiced in me when he said this because I know personally that he was about to give a way to the destruction of a false revelation that had held him captive from God's greater love as long as he had been carrying the mentality about.
The truth is there is no heavy guarded prison against man where they cannot easily attain freedom as the one they build for themselves in their mind. And none of such prison is as strongly secured as unexplained wrong perspection of God's word.
He asked, "God can save us from sin, right?" Yes! I said with all confidence. Then he said, "There is an aspect of Jesus Christ's life story in the Bible that people who talk about him do not talk about or never deeply talk about. Why did God didn't save the Devil from sinning against Him? Why did Jesus Christ never marry? Why did Jesus Christ often go to Mary and Martha's house? Luke 10:38-42. Why were these young women often appeared wherever Jesus Christ appeared? Why did Jesus Christ died at the time He did?" And finally asked the question that brought about this article, " Why did God allow Jesus Christ to die at that age of his life?"

In essence, this guy's central idea in all these questions is that God can be partial sometimes. That Jesus Christ loved either of those women and that if God hadn't taken Him at that youthful age - when the zeal for sexual desire is much stronger, possibly - He, Jesus Christ, would have taken one of them as a wife, because it was glaring that both the women and Jesus Christ were in love with one another from afar. And if God saved Him from that looming dangerous sin, and didn't save the devil, then God is partial. (This is my own analysis of those questions as God enabled me. You too can look into the questions and do your own analysis of them).

It is true that we weren't (and I personally wasn't) able to 'give' him answer to his questions that very day. Not that we didn't have answer and explanation to all these questions, we did (and that's why I used the word GIVE in the sentence above), but because it was getting late in the night. So we left with an agreement that we would visit him sometime later.

THE EXPLANATION OF THOSE QUESTIONS
Let's assume that God did it for Jesus Christ - He saved and rescued Him from the danger of the sin that would have denied Him the God Almighty's right hand of glory, honour, majesty and power where He is now. God wishes to do the same thing for us, you and I, too. In fact, not just that alone, but include everything He has done for Jesus Christ. Bible says, "...that he (Jesus Christ) might be the firstborn among many brothers." "...then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ," Romans 8:29, 8:17, respectively. This means, what Christ Jesus have access to is also ours by same authority of birth.

But why is God looking on while many, include Generals of faith, are falling into different many kinds of sins? Then I ask you, how many are doing what Jesus Christ did, even as simple as it is? Not even devil was and is ready to do it. And if you and I can do it, God is always ready, even now, to do for us what He did for Jesus Christ.

And what is it that Jesus Christ did?
No. Not that He died for our sin, but because He AGREED with God and SURRENDERED to God's will. Not that God willingly took Him away from this world of sin at that very sensitive age without Jesus Christ's own agreement.
He says, "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life - only to take it up again. No-one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again." John 10:17-18. Simply put as, 'My life is my own. I can die now, if I so desire. Nobody can kill me, if I don't allow the person. But my Father loves me because I allowed myself to be killed by somebody.'

God, as all-knowing, knows when we are most ready to fit the kingdom of heaven, certain positions of authority and places of leadership. He always wants to rescue as many people as possible and to prepare some for the highest positions of their desires with a step that looks not very straight forward, but they always ignorantly rebel against such will of God, thinking is a devil's attack. King Hezekiah is a perfect example of such rebellion and after which he made a terrible mistake that negatively affected the generations of his children, Isaiah 38:1-22, 39:1-8.

As I close this write up, I reaffirm to you that God is willing to do for us whatever He did for Jesus Christ. He is always ready to be partial for our glory and peace, but we must learn not to call, "...conspiracy everything that these people [of the world] call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, ...to fear, ...to dread, and He will be a sanctuary;" Isaiah 8:12-13. And also meditate this verse, "The righteous perish, and no-one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no-one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." Isaiah 57:1.

HOW TO GET YOUR IDEAS SPREAD

By Seth Godin on TED 2003. I'm going to give you four specific examples, I'm going to cover at the end about how a company called Silk tripled their sales; how an artist named Jeff Koons went from being a nobody to making a whole bunch of money and having a lot of impact; to how Frank Gehry redefined what it meant to be an architect. And one of my biggest failures as a marketer in the last few years -- a record label I started that had a CD called "Sauce." Before I can do that I've got to tell you about sliced bread, and a guy named Otto Rohwedder. Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910s I wonder what they said? Like the greatest invention since the telegraph or something. But this guy named Otto Rohwedder invented sliced bread, and he focused, like most inventors did, on the patent part and the making part. And the thing about the invention of sliced bread is this -- that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available no one bought it;

THE REAL MEANING OF SCHOOL

Issue of school in regards to its meaning is one of the modern topic amongst educationists. While school is described in a layman term just as a place of learning; it is professionally described as an organized environment for formal education – which means education that follows certain processes. And the features of school, as it is being often mentioned, include: school authority and staff, classrooms, laboratories and libraries, textbooks and lesson notes, students, tables and chairs, various buildings and offices, ink or chalk boards and other materials of instruction. But school, in the real sense, is more than all that have been mentioned as the major features; my description of school is simply a place of getting additional knowledge to one's own natural knowledge. Therefore, the real features of a school is everything and anything that contributes to the growth of one's knowledge, causes the expansion of one's mind, increases one's intelligence quotient,

HOW TO DETOXIFY THE YOUNG MINDS FROM INDOCTRINATION

By Wole Soyinka for thehighereducation.com A few years ago, I had reached the stage of despair over the deterioration of the university system in my own country, Nigeria, under successive regimes of both civilian and military orders. Even the basic, campus social life had broken down, a condition that I tried to summarise in the title of a public lecture that went: “Descent of barbarism and end of the collegial”. Educational standards had plummeted so low that the word “illiteracy” had become current within – not only outside – the ivory towers, leading Unesco to classify Nigeria as one of the nine countries that together accounted for 70 per cent of the globe’s illiterate population. We do not need to be reminded that primary and secondary education form the base material for the intellectual quality of intakes into the tertiary institution. When deterioration in those two tiers is compounded by the fact that those tertiaries indulged in any excuse to foment strikes by facul

HOW TO HAVE YOUR INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT INCREASED

WHAT IS INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT ACCELERATOR? If intelligence means the activity or working of the brain to perceive and intelligent quotient means the speed at which the brain works in perceiving, then intelligent quotient accelerator means something that increases that speed from certain level of perceiving to higher level of perceiving. Some facts you should know about knowledge in relation to intelligence include the fact that it is knowledge which determines intelligence due to its (knowledge’s) diversity. Diversity in this context refers to the fact that different kind of activities requires their different individual knowledge. For instance, there are different kinds of knowledge for different sport activities; there is another one for different scientific workings; there is another one for cooking, etc. for as many activities you can mention, each has its own knowledge. Now the kind of activity or profession or subject that fits a person's natural endeavor or that in
