Be Nice😎

 Hebrews  13:2  "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

Some people are often clouded with the habit of being nice to just who they know, some even say "the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know", even if it's used in a figurative context, it's still ironically hilarious😅, the very fact he's been declared 'the devil' makes him worse than 'the angel' you don't know already. The scripture above gives God's perfect mindset to our daily relationship with the outside world. It says 'BE NOT FORGETFUL to ENTERTAIN STRANGERS', it then says for some have entertained ANGELS UNAWARES. Did you see that?, the Bible shows that the 'Angel' you do not know would always be better than the 'devil' you know. As a Person who walks in God's stead, you must be nice to everyone, you must entertain strangers, 'entertain strangers' doesn't mean to naively call everyone into your house to entertain or allow every Tom,Dick and Harry into your house. 'Entertain' here means to be receptiveness. Do not be someone whose always cold to people by default. Always wear a smile on your face as you approach people or you are approached. You know some people are so cold to Jehovah's witness folks just because they feel they are some sort of 'disturbance' most often than not. But, as a person, I have always welcomed Jehovah's witness folks with such embrace always even if we have different views. I even made friends out of some in the long run. Love knows no belief, or ideology. As a person of God, you must be nice & easily receptive. More so, there's a seeming perspective of believing everyone who walks up to you wants to beg for money, don't be that way, give people a listening hear, don't be a snub by default, Jesus never exhibited such. Do have a nice weekend ahead😅.

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa
