“From lonely to seeing someone…From staying with parents and guardians to my first own house, however small…From jobless to employed, a milestone. From one rank at work to another, a milestone…Traveling abroad is a milestone. Starting a business is a milestone. Birthdays are milestones. Anniversary is a milestone. God wants to be involved in every milestone in our lives. Milestones without God offends God.”
“A trivial matter will not be preached against. A trivial matter will not be taken seriously. A trivial matter will not be repented. Unrepented matters will never be forgiven. Sins not forgiven will drive us to hell. It all started by thinking it’s trivial. Is it trivial?”
“He listens attentively so that He doesn’t miss it incase you say it indirectly. He listens attentively so that He doesn’t miss it when you insinuate. He listens attentively so that if you speak it out quickly in a very low tone He doesn’t miss it. He listens attentively incase you almost say it in a manner that may probably count as you having said it.”
“Same question by different Bible writers, why do the wicked prosper? Why are Dictators living longer than good politicians? Murderers don’t seem to suffer cancer and die. They don’t get misfortune. Why?…Criminals are thriving, but why? They live in best houses, drive the best cars, but why? No one arrests them. No harm comes to them. Yet faithfuls seem to suffer.”
“If you are in the streets of life looking for a marriage partner…If you are in the streets of life looking for good health. If you are in the streets of life looking for happiness…If you are in the streets of life looking for comfort and fulfillment. If you are in the streets of life chasing your dream life to come true. If you are in the streets of life chasing greatness…”
“Yet our God wants to see us laughing. He wants us happy. He wants us rejoicing. He wants us smiling. He is pleased when we are happy. Isn’t this a better God? This is who our God is.”
“There is a time when fasting is appropriate and a time when it is out of place…If you feel guilty and uncomfortable when taking good food and drinks, there is a problem. If you feel like you are losing faith because you are in a celebration mood, there is a problem. If you only feel spiritual when taking healthy but unpalatable foods and drinks, there is a problem. If you only feel closer to God when the mood is somber, there is a problem. The problem is you don’t know our God and what pleases Him.”
“Since holy things and people are under direct God’s care, it doesn’t mean we should be careless about their safety. Ezra knew these things and people are holy and safe, but he still took precautions by distributing them for safety. Holiness is not a call to carelessness.”
“It is wrong to have bodyguards for show off. It is wrong to have bodyguards as a way of matching worldly standards of leaders…A church worker does not get power and respect from show of security force and opulence. Such power would be inferior to the power of our God. It is a sign of spiritual immaturity to seek respect in such worldly ways.”
