Third Heaven Discourse

Mark 13:31 (KJV)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.  It's funny how some people want you to "come to terms with reality" when you tell them what God has said, as if what God has said is no longer relevant tod ay. The only part of the Bible that has become redundant is the law of Moses . Ironically and sadly, that's the part people are most unwilling to let go. Be that as it may, every other part of the Bible is very much relevant in our day and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16 KJV).  People sometimes act and talk like the Bible is outdated, like God didn't envisage the times we are now, as if He is surprised by some of the happenings in our world today. I hate to burst your bubble but there is nothing new under the sun (Eccle 1:9) . If you go through the Bible, I am sure you will come to the realization that everything ongoing in our world today - the...

John 1:17 KJV For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.  You have a choice to make between the grace of God (that came by Jesus) and the law of Moses. You can't have both because it is not good to pour new wine into an old wineskin.  So, what are you going to choose?  Note: The choice has always and will always be yours. Nobody can force anything on you against your wish.  What will you choose?!  Is it the law of Moses that was doomed to fail from the outset (Gal 3:21), which God distanced Himself from? (it's not called the law of God, as it were, but the law of Moses) or the grace of God which God ordained for the glorification of His saints from the foundation of the world?  If you will be kind enough to allow me make a recommendation, I will say - with all the enthusiasm I can muster - choose the grace of God!!! We are in the dispensation of grace afterall! The law has been fulfilled and repealed by ...

Matt 5:4 (NKJV) Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.  We started this series by establishing that the beatitudes are the  blessed believer attitudes , expedient to every Christian. Subsequently, we examined the very first beatitude, which is  the poor in spirit  and we saw the blessing Jesus placed on it. For this post, we will focus on those who mourn. What does it mean to mourn?  To mourn means to feel or show great sadness or unhappiness about something. It means to be sorrowful or to be in agony. At this point, permit me to say that there are two types of sorrow: godly and worldly sorrow (2 Cor 7:10). To mourn as Jesus asserts in the reference scripture means to exhibit godly sorrow (Matt 5:4). It also means to be repentant or remorseful.  You may be wondering, why is the attitude of mourning critical to a believer?  Well, the reason is not far-fetched. It is because the flesh is error-stricke...
