YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY AGAIN

-
If you read the book of Leviticus 1: 3-4 (GNT) Moses said to the people of Israel, "If you are offering one of your cattle as a burnt offering, you must bring a bull without any defects. You must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence so that the Lord will accept you. You shall put your hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away your sins"

While I was studying this part of the scriptures, the Spirit of God led me to understand that, only a few people in today's society can afford buying a bull to offer sacrifice to God, for the purpose of having their sins forgiven by God. A big question came into my mind, asking, how would the sins of the poor in our generation today be forgiven, since they can't afford buying a bull to offer sacrifice to God, considering how expensive things are in the Nigerian market today? I was inspired by the spirit of God with an answer that reminded me that, Jesus has already paid the price for the sins of both the rich and the poor. So, the poor has nothing to worry about as our Lord Jesus has offered himself, to take the place of that bull (which the poor cannot afford) to be killed and offered as a sacrifice, for the forgiveness of sins.
Today, many less priviledged families cannot afford to feed three times daily. This simply means that if God should re-introduce the offering of Bull sacrifice, as a means by which our sins will be forgiven, the less priviledges families will not be able to afford to buy a Bull to offer sacrifice, for the sins of their family to be forgiven.
Can you imagine placing weekly or monthly order for Bulls, to offer sacrifice for the sins of your family to be forgiven? This indeed is expensive to afford, especially by the less priviledged in our society today.
In the old testament, the israelites used animal blood to activate God's forgiveness, while in the new testament, the blood of Jesus was used as a requirment for the forgiveness of sin (as those who plead his blood in repentance will be forgiven). This means that we dont have to pay again, as Jesus has offered himself in place of that bull, to be slaughtered once and for all for the forgiveness sins.

The question now is, what is your response to this financial burden that the Lord has taken away from you and has offered himself in place of that expensive bull that you cannot afford? 
The Lord expect that we reciprocate by repenting from our sinful ways and leave in obidience to the will of the Father. Remember, anytime we sin, we crucify Jesus a second time.

If you were touched with this message, share with us how you feel and how much you appreciate this ultimate sacrifice paid by our Lord Jesus Christ.

CAN GOD EVER FORGIVE ME AGAIN?

Have you done something that you think is unforgivable? Beloved, cry no more because God has not condemned you yet. The only group of persons that has been judged by God is satan and his fellow fallen angels. Be reminded that satan is the one that keeps refreshing your past sins in your mind, to make you feel condemned like him, when God has not yet passed judgement on you or condemned you for your sins. Beloved, if you have made huge errors or committed shameful sins in the past, such that you feel and think they can never be forgiven by God, then this message is for you.  This message is designed to seperate you from those satanic voices that keeps whispering into your mind, saying ' GOD CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU AGAIN '. Beloved, you have to know that the aim of these satanic voices is to keep refreshing in your minds, memories of your past sins or mistakes, to make you live with guilt and condemnation for the rest of your life. Do not forget, satan has been judged a

UNDERSTANDING BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION AND HOW TO GET OUT OF IT

Bibery and corruption is a global issue and it seems to have been institutionalized in many organizations all over the world. In recent times, political leaders, national security agencies and tax collectors of nations are the most accused in connection with bribery and corruption. This has made the society to take their eyes off other individuals, organisations who secretly indulge in bribery and corruption. Bribery and corruption has been in practice for more than two thousand (2000 BD) years ago before the death of Christ. This is true because the book of 1Samuel 8:1-3 reported that the two sons of Samuel, Joel and Abiah who were both judges, accepted bribe and perverted justice. 1Samuel 8:1-3 " And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his fristborn was Joel; and the name of second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after after lucre, and took bribes and perver
