SPECKS and PLANKS

Airing people’s personal laundry seems to have become an epidemic that most people get involved in on some level. As soon as the media (or an alleged insider) breaks the news, it spreads like wild fire through phone calls, emails, texts, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc. Seemingly no one is exempt – we gravitate to the stories of the corrupt politician, adulterous minister, divorcing celebrity or whoever is presently under attack.

By no means am I pointing fingers at anyone because I too have given my share of “Oh my goodness,” “Did they really do that,” “I can’t believe it,” “I always knew something wasn’t right,” and “They should be ashamed of themselves – I would never …” It’s funny how easy it is to get so caught up in the details of someone else’s life. We discuss them with our friends, family, coworkers and social media friends as they unfold. Or we make our own speculations on how we think it will unfold. Often, we have completely crucified the targeted person without even having all the details. We point out their lack of commitment, integrity, moral values, trust, etc. We decide what and how their actions should affect their lives, relationships, jobs and positions. We quickly become the judge and the juror.

But what if …

What if for one week, one day or even one hour all the media cameras were tuned into our lives? What if they were able to reveal the most intimate details of both our words and actions? What if the covers were pulled off our hidden sins and exposed them for the entire world to evaluate?

I’m sure we would be quick to come up with an answer, reason and excuse for everything we’ve done.
I’m sure we would expect instant forgiveness – because at the end of the day, we are all human, right?
I’m sure we would immediately start campaigning for people’s trust and respect for us to be restored in spite of whatever we’ve done.

Isn’t it interesting how when the tables are turned, our reaction to the news breaking story makes a 180 degree turn? We need to stop spending all our energy pointing out the faults of everyone else and take regular moral inventory in our own lives. Exert just as much time and passion in getting our own lives in order than we do telling others what they should and should not do.

I’m not suggesting that we don’t hold our Christian brothers and sisters accountable for their actions. However, I am suggesting that we spend more time taking a look within than we do taking a look at others.

Let’s all begin dealing with our own “planks” before we point out everyone else’s “specks.” The scriptures are clear on this subject:

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, let me remove the speck from your eye; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5
"And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” - Matthew 7:3 (NKJ)

LOVE: Maybe you and I still need to do more ?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO KEEP THAT LOVE?

So many people come to church fellowship everyday,but some of us have no idea the kind of pain,hurt,unforgiveness,sickness,anger these people are battling with,of course we can't help them all but the question is what have we done to show our love to just only one person?

What have you done to keep that great friendship that you once shared with someone,have we taken it for granted? What have we done to return that amazing love that's so much been given to us,have we taken the love for granted? What have we done to keep that promise of love?

 Are we always on the receiving side? It is so much nice,peaceful,good when we are on the receiving end but have we ever thought of giving out?Have we ever tried giving out love without us expecting anything back in return? How much have we sacrificed?

Let's think about this.. what have we done to keep the relationship between God and us,God has given and showered us with so much love but what have we done to show him we love him,have you ever returned his love,i mean unconditionally..Have we tried sacrificing anything to this our God? Is he getting back the love he has and he's still showing us?

 Have we walked out on our friends,family,loved one just because we are not getting anything in return again(maybe that's when these people really needed us? Have we ever refused to forgive the mistake of a friend?How many times has God forgiven us?

 How many times have we given to someone in need or or how many times have we picked up our phones to call a friend,a loved one or a family that needs to be encouraged? How many times have we shown Gods love to people? How many times has God shown us love?

 What is our idea of GOD'S love . Someday we might be these people, we might be the one that needs to be shown love, that needs to be forgiven..

Let us learn to start doing those good things that we want people to do to us. The love has to start from the church. What have we done to keep our own part of the deal?

Akiyo ALUMA writes on The Bible

The Bible
Why read the Bible?
Why do I need the bible and yet I can get wisdom and guidance through books written by powerful and successful men?

 The Bible is the word of God and the word is God Himself
The Bible is God’s presence, it is a friend; and a companion
The Bible is unconditional love; for God is love

The Bible is the truth that sets us free, God is true, His word is true. The Bible is an assurance of tomorrow, the hopes and promises from God.

The Bible is comfort, it gives us this stillness of the heart, peace and joy. The Bible is wisdom. It grants wisdom. The Bible gives us satisfaction and fills up the emptiness that is deep within us

The Bible is a compass. It directs our paths.
The Bible counsels, corrects and advises.

The Bible heals physical sicknesses and wounds,
It heals bitterness from the past and brokenness.
It makes us whole.

The Bible gives us peace of mind;
The Bible takes away our guilt; It lightens our burdens.
The Bible takes away our worries; it nails down fears.
It gives us a sound mind and a calm spirit.

 The Bible is the book that was written once and never edited; only translated into different languages and versions for better understanding. The Bible is life and it is life in abundance!! Not reading the Bible throughout the week makes us weak.

TRUTHS about TALENTS with 'Dotun

Sometimes, our talents shoot us into fame and stardom; and like the disciples, we ask who is the greatest? Mark 9:33-34

We often get too carried away and lose sight of the most important things. This whole thing isn’t about our prominence at all. smh!

When God gives one disciple five talents, another two talents, and another one talent (Matthew 25:15), WE ASK WHY? But smh! He has His reasons. Very likely, they are different from what we think (Isaiah 55:9). He knows what he’s doing. We can trust him.

Today, BE content with what you have (Hebrews 13:5), and BE faithful with the little (talent) you have been GIVEN (Matthew 25:21). HUMBLE yourself under God’s mighty hand, trusting that he will exalt you at the proper time and in the proper way (1 Peter 5:6).

The bottomline is, you and I HAVE to keep SERVING, using our Talents and Gifts to edify The Body of Christ; to show that THIS all-surpassing POWER (talents, gifts, blessings, money, inteligence) Is from God and NOT from us.

A Cursory Look on the Greatness of God

HOW GREAT IS THIS GOD???
I got lost in thoughts, in the middle of a семинар on Ethics one day, at the sight of snowfall. As I beheld birds flying freely flapping their wings, soaring higher and higher, seeming to have no reason to feel cold, not to talk of wearing winter coats to shield them from the harshly cold weather. I asked myself why they never felt the cold, but all I could think of was that, it’s nothing but the splendid display of the awesomeness and diversity of God Almighty.
He who began the beginning, at the beginning of the world, but whose beginning can no one trace. He strategically laid out the earth’s scape, technically fashioned it and leaving it a wonder to man, as no one can ever see its end. He enriched it with all that man could ever ask or think of. As big as the earth seems to us, it’s just His footstool. He mapped out the heavens with His creative arts, and garnished it with the clouds and stars. Have you ever wondered how the heavens stand with no pillars supporting?
Science, they say, is the observation of material phenomena in the universe, and then applying our reason and logic to understanding and controling them. But no matter how logical and high we seem to understand, there can be no scientific proof for God, simply because God is not physical or material, He is spiritual and infinite. He defies logic and beats man's understanding, and of His understanding, no man can search. He, to whom the theories and laws of this earth don’t apply, as He, Himself is the founder of them all. Or how can one probably explain the fact that He walked on water, knowing fully well that His mass was more than that of the water? That defies Archimedes Principle! What explanation is there to give for His turning of five loaves of bread and two fishes into surplus, large enough to feed over five thousand people with twelve baskets of left over. That defies the Theory of Multiple Proportions! Who could give the proof for His turning water into wine without personal contact with the water? That spits in the eye of the Theory of Conservation of Matter! What theory is there to back up His using mud, (which is dirt) to make a blind man see. That defies the basic principles of Opthalmology and Therapeutic Medicine! Humus (or clay) should, naturally make the sight of the man got worse and not the other way round, let alone for His eyes to be opened. His deeds defy logics or human reasoning, because He, Himself is the origin of logics.

He was the first architect, He designed the earth’s structure!
He was the first fashion designer; He designed the first garment ever!
He was the first farmer, He planted the first farmyard!
He was the first electrician, He created light!
He was the first surgeon, He removed one of Adam’s ribs!
He was the creator of linguistics; at the scene of d building of the tower of Babel. He gave the people different kind of languages.
The greatness of God cannot be over-emphasized, quantified or expressed in mare writing, because the understanding of Him is too deep, too high, too wide, too complex for a mortal being to comprehend. He, who after the world seizes to exit, will remain. He who is seated in glory, guarded with praise, clothed with radiance of splendor and righteousness. How big is He?............How high is He?.............How awesome are His works?.......How great is this God???

Moscow 2011: Love LIKE Fire!!!

"My love for the person of CHRIST is so intense that it threatens to consume me.
It burns within me as a sweet and holy madness and flows from my lips like molten gold."....Anozie Echezona, SFC Moscow.

Havin The Mind Of Christ: SERVICE. (How It Went)

God Spoke through Bro. Joel and here is the message in its untainted form!


It started off with an analogy; an illustration of the story of the two buckets.
Here it goes!

A man walks two miles with two buckets of water on both hands. He walks all the way only to discover the bucket on the right hand delivers almost nothing because it leaks; while the left-sided buckets delivers water in full capacity.

But alas, the leakage on the right-sided bucket had helped flower buds and grass roots to sprout on its path.
The right-sided buckets seeming ‘uselessness or non-worthiness’ had been a great blessing in disguise!

TAKE HOME POINT:
We as Christians shouldn’t see out service to God as Inadequate.
We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, because God appreciates and sees the smallest strand of our service to Him, even if the world fails to discern it.

A round of Question Drill ensued.

WHY SHOULD I SERVE? :
Service to God is absolute thanksgiving. We serve God as a means of showing our appreciation to Him. MATT 8:14-15
Jesus served. So we as Christ-like entities too should serve.

Okay then.
HOW SHOULD I SERVE?:
We can serve in a plethora of ways. We can serve God with our money; our talents, our skills; out time.

This is THE HOW!

Luke 10:40-41
Illustration: The woman with the Alabaster Box.
The disciples even gave up their career to follow, serve God. THEY served God with their talents; their careers; their wealth.

HOW SHOULD I NOT SERVE?

Don’t serve like the Pharisees; Don’t serve for men to see.
Because if we serve for people to see, we obtain our rewards instantly, so nothing awaits us from God
Here is the illustration of a tree...the roots and leaves are the very visible parts, by which we can determine the well being of the plant, but a great part of the work is also done by the roots. Hence, we should strive to be the roots...

EFFECTIVE YET NOT VISIBLE!

Okayy,,,
WHO SHOULD I SERVE?:
We owe our service first to GOD, after that to man
we are loved by God so we could show love to other people too; our community, the society around us.
Practical examples from the Bible: Jesus feeding the multitude, the Good Samaritan.

Here comes the last DRILL?:
When should I serve?

The time is NOW!

Now is the best TIME!

God Bless you as you Serve!

'Such Was The Case'

He paced nervously up and down the corridor, he was obviously half conscious of what he was doing, and visibly abstracted to what went on on around him, as he was engrossed in thoughts that seemed; from the look on his face, to be enshrouded in uncertainty and fear. You could hear a silent prayer from the supplicatory look on his face. He looked anxiously through the translucent glass window hoping to catch a glimse that would give him some hope, all to no avail. He was definitely concerned about whatever went on behind those doors.
It was a middlesized room with a bed in the center; it was furnished with all sorts of monstrous looking equipments. An IV infusion pump stood some centimeters away from the bed, there was a vital signs monitor situated in a comfortable corner a small distance from the bed. It was a laborious evening for everyone in there. Strained faces, tensed looks; everyone was on the go. A woman lay on the bed, the stirr-ups were out and in use. There was an agonising look on her face and paroxysmal groanings accompanied by screaming and pushing came from her as she was assailed by the relentless contractions of her uterine muscles. You could tell she was in labour........... oh my god; it was the delivery room.
I stood watching closely and paying unwavering attention to all that went on in there; it was so intense and engrossing that i barely realised it when i fell into a state of abstractedness. I was slowly absorbed into a scenario that was very many years ago. The woman seemed to be thrown into torture by an unseen force; every contraction seemed to be a lash of the whip from a centurion, the bloodstain on the bed was gradually changed into an effusive flow of blood; it dropped and trickled all the way down. I shivered as i felt a drop fall on my hand. The groaning got louder and louder, it was interrupted only by desperate inspirations of air, the unseen fores metamorphosized into cruel lashes inflicted by the daunting whips of soldiers, the whole place seemed to be flooded with blood and water as a spear dug deep into the sides of the man who was now strapped on in place of the woman. He groaned and screamed, his words showed how much he ached to be relieved of his misery. He appeared to have infinite power to free himself but he chose to bear the cross. The voices of nurses and medical personnel culminated into shouts of mockery and contempt as acrid remarks poured out of the angry hateful hearts of all those around. Never had i imagined so much pain never had i imagined so much torture.i discovered i was no longer looking down at a bed but at a man propped up on a t-shaped wooden bar, with his hands stretched apart perpendicular to his torso. The straps that latched on to him now appeared to be nails dug right throught his palms and feet. A crown of thorn was set on his head such that it set trickles of blood into motion down the contours of his face.
I turned around to see the faces of the people, the infernals they blurted out began to sound like cries, desperate cries for help, they seemed to be in dire need of a saviour as i saw through their faces into their their hearts and minds; i could tell they were plagued by depravity.It appeared to be like the serpent biting the children of israel in the desert, as they looked up to the man on the cross who seemed to take the place of the serpent lifted up by MOses on the road to Atharim. This picture lingered on in my mind and then brightened up into the picture of the disciples looking up to one who seemed to ascend to the heavens. I realized it was the same one who was on the cross, and then suddenly he seemed to burst out of the clouds with so much glory as can not be worded. There were millions of them who watched him descend from the clouds, a golden crown on which was written 'king of kings' sat upon his head and an uncountable number of people were caught up to be with him. Their robes so white they sparkled liked they had been washed in blood, the blood that flowed from the cross.
I was brougth back to awareness by a tender cry. There was a peace and silence in the room. The struggle was over. The baby had been born. Such was to be the case of mankind. Such is the case of the saints. As she suffered the pangs of birth for one child, born into a new generation, so did Jesus suffer birth pangs for the world; even for as many as would be born into a new life for untold generations to come. I am as a child and He my mother, i am as a one in trouble and He my saviour, i am as a people and He my lord and king.......He is my essence.

How to attain excellence in life - Daniel Abu

A successful lifestyle has got nothing to do with what you have or what you are; how many 5’s, 4’s, 3’s or even 2’s you might have had, it has nothing to do with your first class or just a degree, it has nothing to do with what course or what specialty you are undertaking, do you hear me nothing alright, but it is the attainment of God’s purpose for your life. God has a plan for you (Jer. 29:11). They have been there long before you were born, or before you were even formed in your mother’s womb. You might be wondering what this means, yeah it is called predestination, and that’s God in action for you there. He is just waiting for you to step into the kingdom and step into them. You might be asking how to know his plan for my life? well I’ll tell you that in just a moment. I want to tell you something about yourself that you don’t know: You are special… yes sir you heard me, say that: “I AM SPECIAL” most people don’t even know how special they are. You are so special that God didn’t say let there be you, but He said let’s make you in His own image (Gen. 1: 26 & 27). God rates you as a special treasure to Him (Ex. 19:5). Your kind has never existed before, you are not ordinary, you are peculiar, and you have access to the divine power and nature of God here on earth (2 Pet. 1:3-4). The very first step into attaining excellence is for you to think excellence. You are who you see yourself to be (Prov. 23:7). As you think in your heart, so you are and what you think in your heart you will one day voice out (Matt. 12:34). You need to stop thinking and speaking bad things about yourself. Stop condemning yourself, stop saying how miserable and how stupid you are and how you will never make it in life, yes you know am talking to you, stop that, you are breaking God’s heart for doing so, you mean so much to Him (1 Cor. 6:20). You can only know the plan of God for your life through Vision. There you go again, yes vision, as a matter of fact when you don’t have a vision for your life you roam about, but God didn’t create you to roam about in life. Vision is like a path – finding tool (Joel 2:28), Abraham had a vision at the age of 75, so don’t be intimidated by your age because in the sight of God, you are still young. Where there is no direction, there cannot be progress, you need to locate direction for your life by vision (Prov. 28:18).Don’t be mistaken, I said vision and not ambition, impression, imagination, situation, reaction, confirmation, association or natural instincts. So you might ask how do I locate the plan of God for my life, how do I get a vision from God? well first and foremost, you need to be sure of your salvation, yes, you have to be sure that you are saved, and am not talking about religion because it will get you no where, then you need to have a strong desire for it (Hab. 2:1). Please note these that the plans of God for each and every one of us is different so do not envy others just get yours and stick to it. Am so sick and tired of hearing and seeing Christians suffering academically, changing courses and changing locations and changing schools, let that be the worries of those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. After God has revealed to you what He has for you then you need to take heed to be content and be consistent with what God has made you for. So when you have accomplished the plan of God for your life, then you are a successful man or woman.
In His Service

Ike Amadi speaks on the June month: Get Up, Kill and Eat!

The month of May2010 has indeed been outstanding in SFC Moscow; the theme 'Who Am I' really was an eye-opener, God spoke to His people. Lessons were learnt; Interests were revived; Hearts were won and Great Knowledge was shared amongst God's People. How resounding!

Now it's time to apply the Knowledge we possess, bring to wondrous manifestations the lessons we have learnt and change the world around us.

SFC Moscow President, Ike Amadi, speaks on the past month, the plans for summer, Exams and a host of other issues.

"Hi Good people of SFC!

I want to say a very big 'THANK YOU' to each and every one of you who have participated one way or the other in ensuring the smooth running of SFC.

· All the various units/teams that have been performing innovatively – God bless you guys!
· All the fellowship leaders have been working hard week-in week-out to make sure that meetings hold — you guys are simply awesome and will not lose your reward.
· All persons who have donated one dollar/ one ruble to SFC's multi-faceted ministry units — you will never lack.

It is a thing of joy to serve with you guys and trust me, I am truly happy that each one of you is displaying personal motivation to the work irrespective of external supervision — you are showing heavy maturity. May you increase even more!

We have run through the `Who Am I" theme for the months of April and May, and we thank God for the various things we have learnt personally.

In 7 days, we will be entering a new month — June.

June is a very strategic month as most students will have exams going on, others will be graduating, while most will be preparing to travel for the summer and the likes, Hence the theme:

"Get Up, Kill and Eat!" taken from Acts 10:13.(NIV)

We'll all have to get up and start doing something with what we have learnt so far. Perhaps we'll need to increase the manifestation of our talents and gifts or to embark on some special projects the Lord has outlined for us.

Also, we will run with this theme for the whole of the summer period — wherever you are, you'll be sure that you'll have to be doing something with/about what God has placed in your hands.

To sustain that theme however, we will as usual need contributions (sub-themes) as urgently as possible J on areas you would love for us to explore as regards this theme - this will enable us develop study guides and organize programs to establish the plans God has for us in the month of June and beyond.

For example, one of the sub-topics could be:
"How to know the will of God for your life" – so that you can be able to do it without doubting!

Like I said, will be expecting input from each and every one of you – latest by Wednesday, to enable us further organize the month's theme and suggestions for the summer holidays as well J

Once again, God bless your faithful hearts!

You are important to SFC !"

SFC Moscow stands still; watches John Bunyan’s Pilgrim Progress.

The aura in fellowship today was well beyond description as SFC Moscow, glued to their seats, watched in awe as the pictures of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim Progress flickered through the screens, illustrating the truth in the journey of a Christian to the Father.

Given the huge hype and media fame the 25th of May SFC Cinema received, it becomes only logical to conclude that Tuesday 25th of May did live up to its billing.

With a charismatic Praise and Worship setting off the right tone and a run of wonderful testimonies to God’s Glory following, it was more than obvious that SFC Moscow, as a tradition, was in for yet another blessed time in fellowship, especially with a full house on board.

Pilgrim's Progress is a great work of Christian literature, now in form of a film. Originally composed in the 17th century, this spiritual allegory has entertained and delighted innumerous readers for over 300 years. Part I tells of "Christian" and his journey to "Celestial City;" Part II tells of the journey of Christian's wife Christiana and their children to Celestial City. The two parts work together as a unified whole, which describes and depicts the believer's life and struggles. Indeed, given the easy style of the book, readers of all ages can understand the spiritual significance of the depictions in the story. However, Pilgrim's Progress does not simply instruct readers with spiritual allegories; it entertains them as well, through Bunyan's creative story telling. Enjoyable and spiritually instructive, Pilgrim's Progress is highly recommended.
