DRUG ABUSE

Young people in the history of the world had always been the target for total annihilation by the devil and drug addiction had increasingly become the strategy.

We must rise to our Divine dominion responsibility to fight the global menace violently by being passionate about praying for  the outpour of the Holy Spirit. 

“Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever. Tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain. The extended-release form of tramadol is for around-the-clock treatment of pain.

This form of tramadol is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain. Tramadol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.” (drugs.com)

This is one of the most common drug being abused by many people especially our youth today… Let us trust God for the miraculous remedy from this global disaster in Jesus’ Name…  

WIDOWS

We are adjured to honor widows, but is it every widow? The Bible must be referring to some special kind who had committed themselves to the instructions given as in this passage:

Honor widows who are really widows. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. And these things command, that they may be blameless. But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man, well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some have already turned aside after Satan. If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows. (1Tim 5:3-16)

FEMALE MINISTERS

Are you still comfortable in the ministry the way you dress and adorn with all the Holy Bible says? The ministry is daily and wherever you may be... 

“…in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.” (2Tim 2:9-15) also read 1Pe 3:3-4; 1Cor 14:34; Eph 5:24

SHATTERED DREAMS

What is fame for without God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Ghost…? It is nothing but the mark of destruction.

"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? "Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mk 8:36-37)

Oh Lord, deliver us from vague and vain pursuits in Jesus’ Name…

“Studies show that people would rather do something—anything—than be alone with their thoughts. The idea that doing something trumps doing nothing is no new phenomenon. But it's through reflection, daydreaming, and introspection that we make sense of information and experiences and come up with new insight and ideas.” (@lifehacker.com)

Well, human ideologies are numerous, but the mind influenced by the word of God is free from unnecessary wander!
