THE BIBLE SPEAKS DAILY (21092023).


TODAY'S VERSE: ISAIAH 41:10.

"...Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand..."

THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND.

"One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand and to my suprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.

That always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You,
You would would walk and talk with me all the way.
But, I'm aware that during the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I needed you most, You left me."

He whispered,"My precious child, I love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you."
 (by The Poet, Margaret Fishback Powers)

TODAY'S PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father, I am very grateful to You for Your Grace and Mercy for me. Many times in my life, I have taken Your loving kindness for granted.
Thanking you for carrying me up in Your Hands  lest I dash my foot against a stone!
Bear me still, even today and always, in all my life's journey.

Kindly heal the Sick and provide for those in need around us, Amen!

Thanks for reading.

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS.

              CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS. By: Benson Omole. If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, among believers, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics. As followers of Christ, how should we view politics, what should be our attitudes and our involvements with politics? In these contemporary times we live in today, it is increasingly becoming difficult to differentiate between an active Politician, and a faithful Christian! Small efforts shall be made to define what Christian life and values are. Why are we saved, and our responsibilities, now that we are saved? We shall also examine few classical definitions of politics, and its theories.  Readers must be able to decide whether to enter in “by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.” –Jesu

The Origin of Israel.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL. The origin of Israel is rooted in ancient history and has complex historical, religious, and political dimensions. It's important to understand that the topic is multifaceted, but I can provide a brief overview: 1. Ancient History: The region that is now Israel has a long history dating back thousands of years, with various indigenous peoples and empires controlling the area. In ancient times, the land was inhabited by Hebrews, Canaanites, Philistines, and others. 2. Biblical History: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) contains accounts of the Israelites' conquest of the land under figures like Moses and Joshua. It describes the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. 3. Roman Conquest: In 63 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered the region, leading to the dispersion of Jews and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. 4. Modern Israel: After centuries of Jewish diaspora, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the reest

The Truth About Christmas

The Truth About Christmas                            George G. Pennock. As we enter the season of the year when many of our friends and neighbors are observing the birthday of Christ, it is appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. In this article we will attempt to give you a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas. Some of the material presented has been adapted from James L. Dennison's booklet, "The History Of Christmas" and Eris B. Benson's work, "The Question Of Christmas." We lay no claim to originality. Have you ever stopped and thought about the origin and history of Christmas? We are prone to take so many things for granted! Where did Christmas come from? Who authorized it? Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and originated when Christ was born. But are you sure of this? Could you prove it from the Bible? Permit us to deal with some of the traditions which most of us have taken
