Jos Mayhem- Love Your Enemies

I sometimes wonder what the true meaning of love is;yes love is God, know doubt about that. But in some circumstances it seems easier said than expressed. I read through the dailies in the past few weeks and saw the extent of carnage men will perpetrate in the name of religion. this is the story of the Jos, Nigeria inhumanity of man to his fellow man.
Well let me not bore you with tales of horror of reality.

Lets hear from our Master: JESUS CHRIST

Luke 6:27-36

[27] "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. [29] If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. [30] Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. [31] Do to others as you would have them do to you.

[32] "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. [33] And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. [34] And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. [35] But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. [36] Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

What's Your Stand on Divorce?

How tragically does the modem world violate the clear teaching of the New Testament on the permanence of marriage! We have already noted that the purpose of the Christian home is to add to human happiness by fulfilling the human need for security, love, and companionship; and also to provide a godly environment in which to rear those children with which God normally blesses a home. Certainly we may also say that the Christian home should be a unit of love, peace, and godly faith in the midst of a wicked society. In only one way can these purposes of the Christian home be realized: that is by a faithful keeping of one's marriage vows until death. And that is precisely the teaching of Christ and the apostles. In Matthew 5 we read: "It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery" [Matt, 5:31, 32]. Jesus repeats In Matthew 19: "Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery" [Matt. 19:8, 9]. In this case the great uncial manuscripts vary slightly, particularly on the inclusion of the last clause: 'and he that marrieth, her when she is put away committeth adultery," possibly a paraphrase of Matt. 5:32b.

Power Of The Mind

Set Your Priorities: He who fails to plan has planned to fail. You must set your priorities right if you must succeed in the use of your mind power. The mind is like every other part of the human body and cannot succeed trying to engage itself in more than one thing at a time. Though we can switch thoughts, but you’ve got to maximize your moment.
As it is impossible for you to go two different directions at the same time, so it is impossible to succeed with your mind power trying to engage in several activities.
A motor vehicle’ engine last longer when the driver understands the gear system. You don’t go about changing gears before the right time. Hab.2…get the vision not visions. Put your mind on a particular matter at a time for maximum result. You would agree with me that when you channel your energy towards a particular matter, you get the best of it.
Don’t be distracted. Concentrate on building that marriage, and having a peaceful home than switching gears before time...

Power Of The Mind

Imagination: ability to have a mental picture of an image. This could be of a past, present or future occurrence. The mind has the power to imagine or think anything. This means you have the choice to imagine either good or evil. Whatever you imagine has effect on your life; “as a man thinketh in his heart so is he”. In Matt. 6:25-32 Jesus says we should not take thought…..he did’nt mean we should not think at all, but we should not get worried. Phil.4:8 “finally brethren whatsoever things are true, honest, just…think on these things.” Success is first imagined before it comes”.
Imagine the success, and then apply your faith in it; which will propel you into action that brings the desired results.
The woman with the issue of blood first thought in her heart and saw the victory before it came. She said in her heart “if I may but touch the helm of his garment, I will be whole” and she apply action to it.
There is a power that follows our imagination that God uses to bring to past our desires Eph.3:20. God has given to us a blank cheque and you can take advantage of it to achieve what you want to achieve.

"The Power Of The Mind"

The Human Brain

The human being is like a vehicle that is driven by a driver who takes it to his desired destination. The driver is the one that determines the destination of the vehicle and could drive it into a ditch if not careful or so wishes. Like the motor vehicle, the mind is the driver of the human being and has the capability and ability to make or mare the entire destiny of a man. It can lead the man into failure or success.
The bible says we should guide our hearts diligently for out of it flows issues of life Prov.4:23. It is the central processing unit of the man. The bible also says; to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace Rom.8:6.
THE CARNAL MIND
1.Always sees impossibilities
2.Always criticizes
3.Envies
4.Lacks confidence
5.Ruled by fear
6.Boastful
7.Murmurs

The purpose of a man is not outside the man , but within him. Everyone is made uniquely and charged with the power to succeed.



The world is full of people refusing to be who they are. The greatest mistake is for someone to try to be someone else.



Jesus asked; who do men say the son of man I am?This is an issue of purpose, power, and personality.



If you don't define yourself, people will define you wrongly.They will abuse your purpose and frustrate your grace(power). you must display your originality;"personality without originality is impersonation.



Don't just do anything, do your own thing.Don't be a copier. there is nothing like original.You cannot succeed by cultivating another man's field. In life, there are 5 kinds of people:

• people that watch things happen,


• people that don't see things happening,


• people that discusses things happening,


• people that destroys things that are happening,


• and people that makes things happen.

Who are you?
