The bare minimum - Part 1: 95%

Take this analogy,


If you were told that your phone's battery percentage is to stay above 95% all the time and the authorities will conduct a random check once to see if that's the case for everyone, and if yours is found to be less than that, you're thrown to jail for the rest of your life, wouldn't you do everything to ensure that your phone's battery percentage won't go below 95%.


You would have no excuse at all as to why your battery charge is below the said percentage. Why is that so? Because electricity is everywhere. Because every phone came with its own charger. If not, then who said you can't borrow a charger. If at all you don't have access to electricity then there are charging stations where you could take your phone to be charged. So it means that it's totally on you if the authorities come to check and find your battery's percentage and find that it's below 95%. Since the authorities have taken so long without coming to conduct their check up, people now start to be lenient and start to leave the batteries to run below the said percentage. And when they are asked why they are doing so, they start to say that "The authorities have taken too long, they probably won't even show up"...others say,"That's a dumb thing to do; to come and check to see if my battery's percentage is above 95% and if not,throw me to jail"


So then what happens the day when the authorities decide to conduct their check up? Without warning, people will be caught off-guard. Some people's phones would be running on battery low and others will be long dead. For others, they would have tried keeping the charge above 50% but still they would be thrown in. Others who would have tried fairly enough to keep it above 80% would think that they would be given a pass but still they would be thrown in. Then there are those who kept their charge above 90% but still they won't make it. They will try to plead and ask," But it's at 91%"...."it's at 92%"...."it's at 93%"...."Look! Mine's at 94%"


But still they would be thrown in and they would be told that the extreme minimum allowed was 95%. "You lawbreakers! Stop your pleading. You were not faithful to keep your charge above 95%" How terrible will it be for all those who were thrown to jail. It's not that they were not aware of the set guidelines. It's not that they didn't know that the authorities would come. They were all fully aware of the set rules and the repercussions and now they will spend the rest of their lives locked away and without the phones!                                                                                                                                                      

To those who were faithfull to keep their battery's percentage above 95%, will be commended and will be congratulated. They will also be given new phones which will never run out of their battery charge and they will also get to enjoy their freedom and they will live happily knowing that they made their masters proud!

                                                                                                                    

Be wise and understand what is required of you!

Truth:The belt of the armour

John 14:6 Jesus answered Him,"I am the way the truth and the life:no one goes to the Father except through me." Are you born again? Have you accepted Jesus as the LORD of your life? Have you confessed in your heart that Jesus Christ is the saviour and the true vine? Have you received the Spirit of God? Being born again is believing in Jesus Christ. It is believing in the one who God sent John 6:29 Jesus answered,"What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent." Since Jesus is the bread of life, anyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. Two things happen immediately you believe in Jesus: -You receive the Holy Spirit -You receive eternal life To receive the Holy Spirit, you must have faith in Jesus and also have faith in the Father and believe that God raised Him to life. It is through faith that we are made right with God. Our deeds can never earn it. Romans 5:1 Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through...

The bare minimum - Part 2:Holiness

Isaiah 1:19-20 "If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Meaning that yes you can be saved but if you don't obey what God has instructed us to do then we won't escape. God is the one who has called us to live holy lives. He has called us to repent and turn away from sin. If we do not obey what God has told us to do then we become rebels. We are not sinners but rebels. And the word of God says that both will be slain by the sword. A people that have been saved and call themselves christians but still go on living in sin, That is the fallen church. The adulterous church that is engaging with the things of the world. This fallen church will not be taken up during rapture! It is the holy church that has separated itself from the world and from sin which will get to go to heaven during rapture. * * * In that word of scripture that say...

The train of salvation

The train set off to begin its journey millennia ago, since the beginning of time. The train with infinite coaches always departing and yet it never really leaves. The train meant to carry everyone awaits for you to climb aboard. The train is in motion yet still stationary to allow anyone who wants to board to jump in. Once aboard, your coach leaves; you're called to pay attention to the journey and the destination. If attention is not paid, you begin running through the coaches back to the boarding station. Be careful not to lose focus. Be cautious that you don't end up running back to the station. For if you do it long enough, then I'm afraid you'll at one point have to alight and getting back on is not as easy as you did before. Let's say you didn't lose your focus, let's say you continued to pay attention. The journey is beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and the destination gleaming with a glorious light. You have to remember that the train has its ...
