THE GORY CHOICE OF A BARABBAS

Barabbas, the insurrectionist, mass murderer, terrorist, abductionist and assailant, yet they loved, desired, and routed for him. He stole from them, killed and ruined their lives, yet they craved for him – Matthew 27: 17, 20 – 21.

Now, a greater than Barabbas, who is not just a malefactor, but aptly described as a murderer from the beginning, the most wicked one, who abode not in the truth, a great liar and the father of all liars, yet they follow after his devious ways – John 8: 44. He turned the earth into a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof, and mercilessly incarcerated all his captives and opened not the door of his prisoners, yet they dutifully serve him – Isaiah 14: 17.

A worse than Barabbas! The crooked old serpent, beguiling and deceiving every and all things in his way. Even now trying so hard to make you his latest target and newest victim, yet you devotedly desire him. He daily and in company of his demonic cohorts afflict people with diverse infirmities, miseries, frustration, strange and untold sufferings, yet they follow his pernicious ways. – 1Peter 2: 2

A roaring lion, in the full time business of walking through and fro the earth, and seeking whom to devour physically, spiritually and eternally, yet they pensively permit him – 1Peter 5: 8.

He runs a bandit of demonic principalities and powers and of the rulers of darkness of this world, and of the spiritual wickedness in high places, yet they keep unwholesome and occultic company with him – Eph. 6: 4.
Unrepentant, irredeemable and far fiery than any Barabbas of this world; relentlessly and totally seeking your everlasting woe and eternal ruin, yet they recklessly cleave to him. John 10: 10

His eternal destiny is set, sealed and settled in the fiery lake of fire and brimstone, and your divine destiny arrayed in the heavenly mansions and gold-plated streets of glamour. His only pre-occupation is to pull you down with him to everlasting condemnation and eternal destruction, yet you are permissibly indulging him – 2Thess. 2: 7.

Oh, how long will this perverse world keep following Barabbas the deceiver, murderer, and the arch-enemy of humanity? How long will they continue to carelessly relish the unfruitful work of darkness to the damnation of their soul?What a gory choice of a Barabbas in place of the Saviour? The destroyer in lieu of the Redeemer? And the murderer instead of the Prince of Life?Acts 5: 30; 10: 39.

Jesus died for you. At age 33 He was condemned to death by crucifixion, the worst kind of death, only for the worst criminals. Worst still, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each crooked nail, between 6 – 8 inches long, was driven through His body, breaking His tendon so that He could not breathe freely. Imagine the struggle, the pains, suffering, and distress Jesus endured for over three hours hanging on that rugged cross. He bled every drop of three-and-half litres of blood in His body, and when no blood was left, Jesus poured out water from His wounded sides.

Imagine, if you can, a large, rough hammer driving large nails through His hands, feet and arches. Then a relentless Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and spear, Jesus was whipped and beaten; whipping so severely that His flesh was torn off his body. The beating so horrific that His face and beard was ripped off. There was also a crown of thorns plaited and forced to His head, and cutting deep into his scalp.

What about the humiliation of carrying a heavy cross for about two kilometres, while the crowd spat in his face, mocked, jailed, cursed and threw stones at Him.How about Herod and his soldiers' melodrama of mocking, slapping, and whipping Jesus, and seeking Jesus to prophesy to them who actually gave each slap on Him? They stripped the King of Glory, and before His eyes cast lots who should have His clothing.Without any known guilt, yet condemned to death. Rejected, afflicted, chastised, and bruised by all – Isaiah 53.

Oh, sinless Jesus condemned to death in preference of the freedom of the dreaded murderous Barabbas, for your salvation. They rejected Jesus who healed their sick, fed their hungry multitude and raised their dead, and routed for a human Barabbas, who stole, killed and maimed them. Now, are you also continuing the rejection saga of over two thousand years ago, of the Saviour and Redeemer of your souls, in preference of a crooked, vile and more deadly Barabbas, the arch-enemy of your soul?

Despite Jesus' suffering to salvage your soul, you are now willingly and voluntarily sabotaging Christ's sacrifice for your redemption, and now sealing your eternal destiny with the devil, the greatest Barabbas of all time?

The question is:
i.    Have you made the ugliest choice with the profane and/or surrender your hope of eternal bliss for Barabbas?
ii.    Have you made the grievous choice of living by dishonest means, and sustaining your livelihood by deceit of the Barabbas of all time?
iii.    Have you made the unwholesome choice of preferring instant pleasures above spiritual gains, and turning your back on God for the transient pleasures of sin offered by the greatest Barabbas?
iv.    Have you made the self-destructive choice of lust, adultery, homosexuality, fornication, defilement, invention of evil, and all forms of uncleanness in keeping with the dictates of the Barabbas?
v.    Have you made the worst choice of refusing to accept Jesus to the salvation of your soul in keeping with the worst Barabbas agenda?
vi.    Have you made a terrible choice of reversing your conviction to serve God, and have gone back to the world in preference of Barabbas?
vii.    Have you made the gory choice of jettisoning the world of God, prayer, fasting and witnessing to the satisfaction of the grievous Barabbas of all time?
viii.    Have you made the gloomy choice to be beyond redemption and a joint faith sharer with Satan, the greatest Barabbas in hell?

The needless choice of the meanest Barabbas, leading to inexplicable waste of human souls is unfortunate, as everything needed to save humanity from damnation and the impending doom of hell has been completed and finished. And Christ Himself ushering us into redemption and eternal bliss stated “it is finished”. John 19: 30

Therefore, if as we speak, you are still living and maintaining a godless lifestyle, basking in the euphoria of sin and the exuberance of ungodliness, you are simply enlisting for the Barabbas of our time; making yourself a part of his damning crowd.

If, as we speak, you have not made and retained Christ Jesus as your Saviour and the Lord of your life, you are simply continuing the old choice of Barabbas of two thousand years ago; and have therefore unlawfully included yourself in the frightening list of perishing souls.

If, as we speak, you have allowed sin to remain and fester in your life, despite God's offer of salvation, Christ's sacrifice for your redemption, and the repeated warnings of God's word to you, certainly you have cleaved yourself to Satan the Devil, the greatest Barabbas of all eternity. Thereby, putting yourself in danger of everlasting woes and eternal misery in hell with him.

IN THE HEELS OF MISSES POTIPHAR

 Lady Potiphar, you will recall, is seduction sustained; while Misses Potiphar, you will discover, is seduction redefined. This is more so, as a startling discovery by some social researchers reveal that men spend at least a minimum of one full year of their entire adult life staring either innocently or amorously at the faces, looks, dressing, physique, cleavages and contours of women or the opposite sex. 

This volume of time attributable to this physical stare is comparatively nothing to the amount of time thoughtfully spent in harboring, processing and the execution of these lustful ogles. Neither is it anything in comparison to the volume of time the womenfolk spend to conjecture, programme, arrange, and work-out to beautify their bodies, to wit: face, chins, lips, hairs, eye lids/lashes, nails, shape, outfit and /or apparels in all manner of correlations, and in tune with the fancies of our time.

Little wonder the upsurge of satanic-induced indecent display and sampling of sensitive shapes and delicate body parts by the contemporary ladies / misses Portiphars of our time, competing to take their fair share of our men's end-time lustful stare projects. 

Misses Portiphars, you will further learn, is loosely referred to as the “newest seducers and latest enticers of our time”. Though all they wanted is to be different, unique, special and smarter than needful.There is therefore no gainsaying the fact that every verbal and all-inclusive non-verbal sexual allurement and articulated invitation is seduction. This includes any exposure that invites, provokes and instigates impure, immoral and lustful thoughts on others. Misses and Ladies Portiphars of our time are champions of structural adjustment of breasts, buttocks, hips, and other sensitive body parts to suit their fancies; and they are simply ready to go! 

Most time, the allurement to lewdness and glare of seduction are presented in a seemingly innocuous life-flaring and mouth-watering packages which often conceals the real ungodly motives behind them. Seductive inclination may present a prospect of being a “Miss Star”, “Baby Earth”, “Lady Moon”, “Queen Planet”, “Princess Universe”, and “Miss World”.Seduction has been enlisted by the contemporary world as a way of life, competitive trade, profession, vocations, and other life endeavours. 

It has become a key player and powerful tool for music, advertisement, sports, entertainment, sundry business promotions and modeling. It has also acquired the imputations of celebrity, success, and self-attainment, and the measurement thereof now a function of how seductively attired, and / or insensitively exposed the acclaimed celeb / star is. However, the fundamentalquestion is: 

i. Have you been enlisted as an agent of a demonic vehicle for the dissemination and spreading of lewdness around the world, without knowing or adverting your mind to it by simply being trendy, casual, or sometimes carelessly seductive? 

ii. Have you unwittingly endorsed for Seduction-assisted programmes which are designed to ungodly break the bands of freedom, provoke undue sexual publicity and / or attention to the prowling hands of lustful men by wanton exposure of privacy, and in keeping with satanic agenda of mass hell population? 

iii. Is your nudity marketable? iv. Hasit become the populations' interest? v. Has unwholesome exposure become your way of life? vi. Is indecency nowyour secret door to pleasure? 

vii. Has the stench of your licentious sampling disrupted the serenity of thedivine atmosphere? 

viii. Are you now a catalyst fueling in others no meaningful and gainful thought other than illicit sex and amorous thoughts? 

ix. Have self and instant pleasure taken the top priority over your life? Then, you are gradually drifting to the domains and heels of Ladiesand MissesPortiphars of this generation, and on the same page and platform with the Sodomites, lady Portiphar and Jezebel of the ancient. Jude 1: 7; Gen. 39: 7, 10, 12; and 2Kings 9: 30; Rev. 2: 20. Misses and Ladies Portiphars, the newest seducers of our time, can convince a man to kill himself, abandon wife, children and family for no reason. Can brainwash people to desert homes, destinies, and reasoning to their ruin. The newest seducers can convict their victims that inappropriate sexual relationship with self, animals,and inanimate objects is the best way to go. Both ladies and misses Portiphars carry on their businesses in the style of full or semi nudity; display of contours, structural adjustment of breasts, hips and buttocks, tattooing and inscription of lust symbols, twirling and tweaking, mincing and suggestive steps, tinkling feet, alluring body languages, rolling and wanton eyes – Isaiah 6: 16 – 18. The pervasive enterprise of Ladies and Misses Portiphars of our time has crept into every fabric of human lives and endeavors, to wit: a. The families – Genesis 39: 7, 10, and 12. – And it came to pass, after these things, that his Master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said: “Lie with me”. And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearken not unto her to lie by her or be with her, and she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”, and he left his garment in her hand and fled. b. Churches and other religious centers. Revelation 2: 20 – Notwithstanding, I have few things against you, because thou suffereth that woman, Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servant to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed unto idols. 1Timothy 4: 1 – Now, the Spirit speaketh expressively that in the later times, some shall depart from the faith, given heeds to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils, speaking lies with hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with hot iron. c. Offices, Business and Corporate organizations. Revelation 18: 3 – For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. d. Streets, Schools, and Neighbourhood. Isaiah 3: 16, 18 – Moreover, said the Lord, because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with stretched forth neck and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with feet. In that day, the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornament about their feet and the cauls and their round tires like the moon. 

The chains and the bracelets and the mufflers, the bonnets and the ornaments of the legs, and their headbands and the tablets and earrings, the rings and nose-jewels. I entreat you to give heed to the sound and immutable warnings of the Scripture, from John the Apostle of old, in 1John 2: 26, saying: “These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.For many deceivers have entered into the world. For this reason, also, Apostle Paul, in Romans 12: 1 – 2 stated thus: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable, unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

And do not conform to this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may prove that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Similarly, in 1John 2: 15 – 17, the Scripture says: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. Therefore, fear God and keep His commandment; for this is the whole duty of man. God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing: whether it be good or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12: 13, 14.

OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS

Peeping high into ones expectations with keen desire to make it and to establish it after all makes possible great achievements. If positive thinking is employ in this direction the result is always good products as regards seen far from sight of the adventurer. Step into you future in thoughts and get greatness in return. Your good dream techniques for helps one actualize greatness. Having deep consideration on things that are involved in effective improvement without the applying academic might for good performance. Many athletes renowned have used visualization to help them gain the expected result of the adventure. Consideration should be giving to the following: 

1) Outcome visualization 

2) process visualization Outcome visualization: This simply means process of visualizing yourself, and achieving your desired goal. This visualization should be as detailed as possible and should use all of your senses: imagine who is there with you as you achieve your goal, what it smells and sounds like, what you’re wearing, where you are. You could even draw a picture or create a detailed “vision board” to help you create this mental visualization. 

Process visualization: This involves imagining all the steps you need to take in order to achieve your goal. Think about each action you will take leading up to accomplishing your goal of greatness. For example, if your goal is “classroom teacher,” you dig deep in thought finding ways and steps you could achieve desired result for the establishment consider what you need to do at each step: 

The best approach to the student friendliness and assimilation of the teachings as you practice what best you can do. Again another thing the employ is the use of positive action as alternative to gain your aim. While positive visualization is very effective, it must be coupled with positive action. 

You have to actively work towards the goals you have set, rather than simply enjoy the thought of achieving them. This is where process visualization pays off: once you have envisioned each step you need to take to achieve a goal, it will be easier to actually take those steps. If you're looking to be a great paragraphics, for instance, write every single day, even if only for a paragraph. Join a local writers’ group, take some writing classes at a community center, enter contests and get your writing out there for other people to see. Ask all of your friends for feedback. 

And, as world-famous writer Stephen King reminds us, stay positive even when it’s hard: “Stopping a piece of work just because it’s hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea.” If you want to be a great philanthropist, start small. If you don't have much money, donate your time to a food bank or local charitable organization. Teach language classes or tutor under-privileged children. 

It doesn't have to be a grand sweeping gesture of eliminating hunger worldwide. Making a difference in just one person’s life tends to start a positive domino effect. Greatness will come when these are put to practice.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A LOVED ONE IS LUST?

For what reason does Jesus' response to the passing of a friend or family member show us about Jehovah's sentiments? (b) Jesus created what extraordinary fellowship?

Have you lost a friend or family member in death? The agony, the distress, and the sentiments of powerlessness can appear to be excruciating. At such circumstances, we have to go to God's Statement for comfort. (Read 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.) The Book of scriptures causes us to see how God and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who splendidly mirrored his Dad, knew the torment of losing somebody in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the close-by town of Bethany. They turned out to be dear companions. The Book of scriptures says: "Jesus adored Martha and her sister and Lazarus." (John 11:5) As we learned in the former section, however, Lazarus kicked the bucket.

How did Jesus react when he was with Lazarus' lamenting family and companions? (b) Why is Jesus' misery urging to us?

How did Jesus feel about losing his companion? The record reveals to us that Jesus joined Lazarus' relatives and companions as they lamented over this misfortune. Seeing them, Jesus was profoundly moved. He "moaned inside himself and ended up plainly disturbed." At that point, the record says, "Jesus offered approach to tears." (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus' pain imply that he had no expectation? Not in any way. Truth be told, Jesus realized that something awesome was going to happen. (John 11:3, 

Still, he felt the agony and distress that demise brings.

As it were, Jesus' anguish is urging to us. It shows us that Jesus and his Dad, Jehovah, detest passing. However, God can battle and beat that foe! Give us a chance to perceive what God empowered Jesus to do.

THE REALITIES ABOUT DEATH (BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE)

MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Why is it urging to know reality about death?

What the Book of sacred writings teaches about the condition of the dead is alleviating. As we have seen, the dead don't continue desolation or gloom. There is no inspiration to fear them, for they can't hurt us. They needn't waste time with our help, and they can't help us. We can't chat with them, and they can't converse with us. Various religious pioneers untrustworthy affirm that they can empower the people who to have kicked the can, and people who acknowledge such pioneers give them money. Regardless, knowing reality shields us from being dumbfounded by the people who instruct such lies.

Who has influenced the lessons of various religions, and how?

Does your religion agree with what the Book of sacred texts trains about the dead? Generally don't. Why? Since their lessons have been influenced by Satan. He uses false religion to inspire people to assume that after their body fails horrendously, they will continue living in the spirit area. This is a lie that Satan joins with various misdirects reject people from Jehovah God. In what limit?

For what reason does the educating of wearisome torment disregard Jehovah?

As noted some time recently, a couple of religions demonstrate that if a man goes ahead with a horrendous life, after death he will go to a place of burning torment to continue until the finish of time. This demonstrating disgraces God. Jehovah is a Ruler of love and would never impact people to persist thusly. (Read 1 John 4:8.) In what manner may you feel about a man who repelled a rebellious youth by holding his hands in a fire? Would you respect such a man? Frankly, would you even need to end up noticeably more familiar with him? Positively not! You would likely infer that he was incredibly severe. Nonetheless, Satan needs us to assume that Jehovah torments people in fire everlastingly—for inestimable billions of years!

Love of the dead relies upon what religious lie?

Satan furthermore uses a couple of religions to demonstrate that after death people advance toward getting to be spirits who must be respected and regarded by the living. According to this teaching, the spirits of the dead can end up being viable friends or awful enemies. Numerous people put stock in this lie. They fear the dead and give them regard and love. On the other hand, the Book of sacred writings demonstrates that the dead are napping and that we should love only the bona fide God, Jehovah, our Creator and Provider.— Revelation 4:11.

Knowing reality about death urges us to fathom what other Book of sacred texts teaching?

Knowing reality about the dead shields you from being bamboozled by religious lies. It also makes you grasp other Book of sacred writings lessons. For example, when you comprehend that people don't pass on to the spirit space at death, the certification of everlasting life on a paradise earth goes up against honest to goodness criticalness for you.

What question will we consider in the accompanying area?

Long earlier, the noteworthy man Occupation raised this issue: "If a man kicks the container, would he have the capacity to live again?" (Business 14:14) Can a dormant person who is resting in death be revived back? What the Book of sacred texts teaches about this is significantly enhancing, as the accompanying segment will show up.

HOW TO BETTER THE LOTS OF YOUR CHILDREN

In late decades, guards have been urged to respect their youngsters' needs; to praise them liberally, paying little personality to the probability that they don't did anything mind boggling; to withhold adjustment and plan. It was felt that if young people were made to feel remarkable, they would grow up with solid conviction. Notwithstanding, what have the outcomes appeared? The book Age Me states: "rather than making framed, upbeat kids, the conviction progression has made a substantial number of little narcissists."

Different adolescents raised with unequivocal acknowledgment have grown up discovered resting for frustrations, information, and sporadic disappointment. Due to being advised to center with no other individual needs, they infer that its hard as grown-ups to layout driving forward affiliations. In like way, a basic number of them experience the malevolent effects of uneasiness and despondency.

Kids create ensured certainty, not by being perpetually instructed that they are exceptional, however through honest to goodness achievements. That requires a choice that is other than believing in themselves. They have to learn, hone, and refine picked limits unequivocally. (Sayings 22:29) They likewise need to consider other individuals' needs. (1 Corinthians 10:24) the greater part of this requires quietude.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Give applaud when it is really defended. On the off chance that your girl scores well on a school test, praise her. On the off chance that she gets a low quality, don't along these lines charge the instructor. That would scarcely enable your young woman to learn quietude. Or, on the other hand perhaps, help her to perceive how she may improve the situation next time. Hold laud for true blue achievements.

Give alteration when major. This does not derive that you ought to look at your tyke for each oversight. (Col.3:21) However veritable oversights ought to be cured. The same can be said concerning erroneously miens. Something else, these may wind up being all the more altogether granted.

For instance, expect your child is showing a partiality to boast. Uncorrected, he could wind up clearly prideful and start to insult others. So divulge to your tyke that bragging impacts him to look terrible and that it could set him up for disrespect. (Adages 27:2) Clarify that a man with an adjusted perspective of himself does not want to bestow his capacities to others. By giving such cure in the soul of adoration, you will show him quietude without harming his sureness.— Book of holy compositions control: Matthew 23:12.

Set up your youngster dependably's substances. Pleasing a youngster's each need can impact him to feel entitled. In this way, for instance, if your youthful needs something you can't manage, clarify why it is fundamental to live inside a cash related plan. On the off chance that you need to wipe out a trek or an excursion, you could clear up that blunder are a touch of life and potentially talk about how you supervise such dissatisfactions. Rather than shield your young people from each hardship, set them up for the difficulties they will look as grown-ups.— Book of holy works run: Maxims 29:21.

Support giving. Show to your youngster that "there is more satisfaction in giving than there is in getting." (Acts 20:35) How? Together you may set up an outline of individuals requiring help with shopping, transportation, or repair work. By then take your juvenile along as you help some of them. Engage your tyke to see your delight and fulfillment as you support the necessities of others. That way you will educate your childhood subtlety in the most ideal route—by diagram.— Book of hallowed compositions run: Luke 6:38.

THE BID FOR TIME

The immutable, immeasurable and unreliable instance of time that many are yet to acknowledge is the subject to be looked into. This is the phenomenon by which all calculations, movements and target are based on. It is indeed a controller of many and indeed inexhaustible. It is a reminder and strength base of all that are anchored on it for survival. 

This phenomenon stabilizes consciousness in many who are conscious of it and drives in and out in speed for continuity of life. All arrangements are made because of its existence. It is indeed a great adventure by the creator to man to expedite pace of workability of events in the whole life.

Greatness is and remains the exact word that comes out of time investment. Great times await those that wait for the moving train of time and for its seeds to come. It is known that time is no waiter of man, rather seeker of time for sure roll along side with the goodies of times. A well targeted and planned time is always intercepted for good fruits futuristically. Blessed are those whose times are well planned and spent for and in greatness. So do well with your times to avoid the ugly side of it.

It is obvious that in absence of time there gloom and glum in existence and life generally. Therefore life is not excusable to every argument as such should be held with prestige and an act of serious to achieve.

It is in window that the urge for conscious of time should increase as in everything, lays the use of time. Based on that, life has to be controlled to function in the interest of mankind and the environment.

Advice to the consciousness of time is no avoidable for time is all anchors on to grown. Moves should be on the gear to avoid miss usage of opportunities, under utilization and careless handling of time.

SAINTS AND PRAYERS

Some people pray to departed saints to intercede on behalf of them to obtain avail from God. To many it is nonessential and to others, consequential.

WHO IS A SAINT?
The interpretation of the entity Saint connotes “holy one.” On the other hand, there is no mention in the Bible of any faithful worshipper of God praying to a “saint.” Why is that? The Incipient Catholic Encyclopedia states that it was only “by the 3rd century [that] the efficacy of intercession of the saints was limpidly apperceived.” That was some hundreds of years postmortem of Jesus Christ. That is to betoken that Jesus did not practice or embolden such edifying, consequently, did not originate with him and the inspired Bible writers who documented his ministry.

WHAT IS PRAYER?
The word prayer is referred to as reverent words and cerebrations directed toward God, gods, goddesses, or other objects of worship as the case may be. Prayer ergo is a paramount aspect of worship of which all religions in the world do pass through. The question should be; ‘Is kneeling to in prayer or worship to other things than our Engenderer and Life-Giver?’ the Psalm 36:9 verbalizes much in contrary. “The true worshipers,” verbalized Jesus, “will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is probing for suchlike ones to worship him as indited in gospel according to Saint John 4:23.  The Holy Book withal laments in the book of Moses Deuteronomy 4:24; 6:15, stressing that our Engenderer requires an “exclusive devotion in worship.”

It is advised all through in the Bible that we should pray only to God, doing so in the denomination of Jesus Christ. “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,” Jesus verbalized. “No one can come to the Father except through me.” Those unequivocal words harmonize with Jesus’ edifying recorded at Matthew 6:9-13. While expounding the subject of prayer, Jesus verbalized to his adherents: “You must pray, then, this way: Our Father in the heavens let your denomination be sanctified. . . .” (Matthew 6:9) Limpidly, our heavenly Father is the only one to whom we should address our prayers. This truth reposes on a fundamental Bible principle.
Prayer, an Act of Worship

Consider the Apostle and Saint John the divine who received the spectacular visions recorded in the Bible book of Revelation, he “fell down to worship afore the feet of the angel” who had shown him these things. How did the angel respond? “Be punctilious!” he verbally expressed. “Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers . . . Worship God.” (Revelation 22:8, 9) Affirmative, once again the Bible accentuates that we should worship only Jehovah God.

Considering the topic, God alone is called the “Hearer of prayer.” (Psalm 65:2) Moreover, as the Almighty, he alone has the ascendancy, erudition, and power to answer any legitimate request sought through prayer. (Job 33:4) Even Jesus Christ, by his own admission, has inhibitions. (Matthew 20:23; 24:36) That verbalized, however, Jesus Christ has been given great ascendancy, including the responsibility of accommodating as mankind’s Intercessor.
A Sympathetic Intercessor

The Lord and personal Saviour verbalizes: “He is able withal to preserve plenarily those who are approaching God through him, because he is always alive to plead for them.” (Hebrews 7:25) In other words, Jesus can accommodate as the sympathetic Intercessor in behalf of those who ‘approach God through him.’ This does not denote that we should pray to Jesus and that he will forward our prayer on, as it were. Rather, it signifies that we pray to God in the denomination of Jesus, thereby referencing his supremacy. Why is Jesus the impeccable Intercessor?

For one thing, Jesus experienced life as a human, which enabled him to appreciate more plenarily the sufferings of others. (John 11:32-35) For another, he demonstrated his love for people by rejuvenating the sick, raising the dead, and providing spiritual sustenance to all who came to him. (Matthew 15:29, 30; Luke 9:11-17) He even forgave sins. (Luke 5:24) This gives us confidence, for if we sin, “we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a virtuous one as indited in first John 2:1.

Jesus’ love and commiseration are qualities we should endeavor to imitate. True, we are not sanctioned to accommodate as intercessors. But we can pray for others. In fact, love should impel us to do so. “Pray for one another,” indited James. “A rectitudinous man’s supplication, when it is at work, h3as much force.” (James 5:16.)

Marie and Theresa learned those precious truths by examining the Bible for themselves. Jehovah’s Witnesses invite you to do identically tantamount. As Jesus verbally expressed, “those worshiping [God] must worship with spirit and truth according to Gospel of Saint John 4:24.

DESIRED CHRISTIAN MARITAL HOME

Jesus sought to refresh others and lighten their load. He - Jesus promised all who had been oppressed and weighed down by using non-public problems: “Come to me, . . . and i will refresh you.” (Matthew 11:28, 29) He frequently alleviated their physical suffering and furnished refreshing religious assist. No wonder many felt attracted to Jesus, convinced that he would lighten their load!

 How husbands can imitate Jesus. look for methods to lighten your wife’s load. a few other halves sense as did Rosa, who lamented: “i used to be not anything extra than my husband’s maidservant.” Orgor, a younger guy who has an awesome marriage, says: “I often ask my wife how i'm able to percentage the weight. due to the fact i love her, I frequently take the initiative to assist her with household chores.”

Jesus welcomes little youngsters who come to him and he speaks kindly to his disciples

Jesus become considerate and empathetic

A poor girl for years had suffered from a grievous health trouble. On listening to about Jesus’ excellent power, “she saved pronouncing: ‘If I contact simply his outer clothes, i will get properly.’” She become right. She approached Jesus, touched the fringes of his garment, and became cured right now. even though some observers probably concluded that this lady acted presumptuously, Jesus perceived that she became desperate. * He kindly told  her: “Daughter, . . . be healed from your grievous sickness.” not only did he avoid embarrassing or rebuking her but he mentioned her illness. He therefore showed what type of man he turned into a man of empathy. (Mark five:25-34).

How husbands can imitate Jesus. when your wife does now not experience well, show her more attention and be affected person. strive to relate to her and recognize her reactions. Ricardo, for example, explains, “when I be aware that my spouse is more sensitive, I make a unique attempt to keep away from announcing things that would make her experience worse.”

Jesus communicated together with his disciples. Jesus talked significantly to his pals. “I have made known to you all of the things i've heard from my Father,” he stated. (John 15:15) it is proper that Jesus from time to time desired to be on my own together with his thoughts and to pray. however he frequently shared his innermost emotions along with his disciples. The night time earlier than he was placed to loss of life as a condemned criminal, he frankly told them that he was “deeply grieved.” (Matthew 26:38) even when their moves disappointed him, Jesus by no means stopped talking to his buddies. Matthew 26:40, 41.

How husbands can imitate Jesus. talk out of your mind and heart along with your wife. A grown up girl may whinge that her husband seems to haven't any problem talking in public but maintains silent at home. on the other hand, notice how Ana feels while her husband opens up to her. “I experience that he without a doubt loves me,” she says, “and i experience near him.”

Refuse to use silence as a weapon to punish your spouse. “while my husband was upset with me,” says one lady, “he refused to speak to me for days. He made me experience guilty and despised.” However, attempts to imitate Jesus’ example. “when i get aggravated, I don’t reply right away, but I search for the proper moment for us to speak matters out.”
