HANG TOUGH MATTHIAS

(In honour of the greatest man in KNUST, Fritz Quaye... Happy Birthday)

Acts 1:
21  "...Thus one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with us,
 22  beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us."

These were the requirements for choosing a new apostle, the highest office in the New Testament, and all that they were searching for was Faithfulness: who stuck with us from beginning to end?
Not, who preaches best or dresses best or gives most. Who has been faithful?

Verse 23: And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
(They didn't even tell us this dude's nickname mpo na his surname like the other guy).

But see this, they found 2 faithful guys in a room of 120 people, and verse 24 says God decided based on their hearts.
 
We never heard of Matthias till this point, but what was his secret to rising? Simple: HE WAS THERE. Any place Jesus went, anything he ever did, from raising Lazarus to pushing over tables in the market, he was there... And the rest was the state of his heart, which only God saw.

This one is longer than usual, but just to say, there is a reward for faithfulness with your heart in the right state. So hang tough Matthias, your time's coming. You will be announced by the Father Himself.

KILL THE TIME REMNANT

KILL THE TIME REMNANT

One series I've found myself watching over the last two years is The Flash. Those people can lie papa. But it's interesting nonetheless. If you haven't seen the end of season 2, here's a spoiler alert. Doesn't mean you should stop reading tho, lol.

OK, so the villain, Zoom, kept doing this thing where he'd run so fast he'd meet himself in the future. It's messed up theoretical physics. (Don't bother trying to swallow... Man will never time travel.)
Anyway, so one version of him is considered stable and the other is called a 'time remnant'... an old copy. He kept killing his time remnants. And he told The Flash, "You'll never win till you can kill your time remnant".

I was surprised to find that bit of truth in all those lies. Because we'll never win till we kill our time remnants.

Colossians 3:5(NLT):
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you (the old man) . Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don't be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

Kill the old man that has caught up with you from your past. That's the only way we'll win.

Double Double

DOUBLE - DOUBLE
(To the soldiers at the front lines)

Back in high school I attended a camp for scripture union leaders. Back then, Uche had released a song: double-double. The song just declares that we are blessed 'double-double'.

I remember one of the camp officers told us the song was not biblical... and for sometime I believed it. Then one day I saw this verse, a promise to God's people:
    Isaiah 61:
7  For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

Child of God, what have you suffered? God will give you double for your trouble.

Don't give up now kraaa.
