1. We laid the foundation for Exploring Eternity in our last discussion. We said that the physical death of man is not the final termination of the existence of man; beyond the point of death, we continue to live. #ExploringEternity
2. We emphasised that this short life is a preparation for the next one which has no limit. We drew on the Law of Time Perspective - The longer the time you take into consideration when making decisions; the more successful
3. We said that when a Christian has a consciousness of eternity, our short term decisions are more accurate. Psalm 39:4 - The Psalmist’s prays here ‘’Remind me how short my time on earth is’’ because he wanted wisdom. #ExploringEternity
4. Eternity is the state of existence outside of time. Past, present and future exist within the context of time. Within the context of eternity, they all merge into one. You ask God what is His name ? – I AM, not I was. #ExploringEternity
5. That’s why He says I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END, yet beginning and the ending is still an attempt to use human language to communicate to us, to give us an idea of what He is trying to talk about. #ExploringEternity
6. Our God is Eternal, He is the definition of eternity; dateless past, dateless future. Once our existence on this earth is terminated; next is JUDGEMENT. Eternal judgement is one of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. #ExploringEternity
7. I believe that God made it basic so that every Christian will bear in mind that we are accountable and will give an account of what we did with the resources that God put at our disposal, beginning with time. Hebrews 6:1-2. #ExploringEternity
8. Acts 17:31 tells us that God has fixed a date for that event. Since God successfully raised Jesus from the dead, He will raise every single human being that ever lived on this planet from death. Romans 12:14 (MSG). #ExploringEternity
9. I know that the subject of Judgment day is one that scares people a lot; but we must know that the ultimate judge is Love personified. We do not approach that judgment day with fear but confidence. 1st John 4:17. #ExploringEternity
10. The key to our confidence is in us maturing to become like Jesus Christ. The more we become like Jesus, the more confident we are to approach the day of judgement. Maturing in our love walk is what will give us confidence. #ExploringEternity
11. The judgement we discuss today is the one where Jesus is going to make a separation of all human beings going to heaven or hell. Mathew 25:31-46 is about love and how much people have matured in their love walk. #ExploringEternity
12. It is good to remind ourselves of what really matters on this planet; what will determine the measure of our reward when we appear before God. Some people say if God is a loving God, why would he create hell for man? #ExploringEternity
13. Jesus was very deliberate about what he spoke there; he is the second person of the trinity and his wisdom personified. Heaven was prepared for human beings and hell prepared for Satan. #ExploringEternity
14. The entire passage is about eternity and this passage proves the fact that whatever you are doing right now and whatever I am doing right now, have repercussions in eternity. #ExploringEternity
15. Some people were acting without eternity in view. Both parties were surprised at the outcome but they were actually surprised about what they did but did not realise will count for so much. #ExploringEternity
16. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, your time on this planet will not be a waste. It will be a massive investment into a glorious future in eternity. This is the way God planned for it to be. #ExploringEternity
17. The one point I am trying to bring out here is the fact that it is the measure of our love walk that determines how much like Jesus we have become and that will determine our confidence on the day of judgement. #ExploringEternity
18. If someday I would have to answer for the way I treat people right now, to answer for what I do with my time and the money God gives me right now; what should I be doing that I am not doing yet? Or what am I doing right now that I should not be doing?
#ExploringEternity
19. So I ask this morning, in the light of eternity in Christ and in the light of judgement that is inevitable, what should you stop doing right now? What should you start doing right now? #ExploringEternity
20. Bow your heads as we pray and reflect for a few seconds. Heavenly father in Jesus name, we thank you because the bible says your word is eternal. #ExploringEternity
21. Therefore, whatever we build on your word is guaranteed to be useful to us in eternity. In the name of Jesus, we receive a fresh baptism of your Spirit. #ExploringEternity
22. We declare in Jesus name every spiritual obstruction, obstacle on the path of our spiritual progress, everything that blinds us to what is important; we declare they are removed in the name of Jesus Christ. #ExploringEternity

1. Your emotions affect your health. Our emotions have direct impact on the state of our body. Our emotions produce direct physiological effects on our physical bodies. (Isaiah 61:1-3) #HealthyLiving
2. Emotions produce physiological changes in the body. Anxiety makes us sweat. Frustration and sadness produce tears. Embarrassment and fear also produce changes in your system. #HealthyLiving
3. Negative emotions affect our level of immunity. Having a bad mood can make us susceptible to common ailments like cold, malaria, etc. #HealthyLiving

1. One of the stories I find most fascinating in the scriptures is that of the rich man and Lazarus (the poor man) in Luke 16:19. They both died however their lives continued afterwards. #ExploringEternity
2. They ended up in different places. The rich man had serious regrets. They retained their memories after death. Their view of their lives on earth changed. #ExploringEternity
3. From the story they still recognised each other, the rich man realised that his life on earth was in preparation for his life after death & that he had made the wrong choices. He also knew that his brothers’ decisions would qualify them for the same outcome. #ExploringEternity

1. Our children gives God some of the greatest opportunities for Him to answer our prayers for change. When a nation prays for change, God gives them babies, when babies are born, the future is defined and locked into them. #ChildrensDay
2. We have a very important role to play in preparing them to influence their world for good. Children do not need to be taught to sin, it is innate. We therefore need to deliberately put them on the right path. #ChildrensDay
3. WE MUST HELP OUR CHILDREN DEVELOP THE CAPACITY FOR LOVE. Capacity to love God and to love people #ChildrensDay

1. We understand people perceive love in different ways and if a relationship will be built effectively, particular attention must be given to this. You must be sensitive to your spouse’s difference and always take this into consideration. #LoveandMarriage
2. Gary Chapman in his Book describes it as the Five Love Languages. Some people feel loved when they are physically touched, others prefer words of affirmation, some others like gifts and the size does not matter because it’s their love language. #LoveandMarriage
3. Others appreciate quality time; they want you to drop everything and focus on them while some people feel loved when tasks are done for them; this is known as acts of service. #LoveandMarriage

Thanks to all that posted responses to the questions on my mind. I asked for some reasons. Someone visited his son in the US. His son asked why he’d been only sighing for 3 days as they drove him around. He said, “People are suffering at home but don’t know they’re suffering.”
A former governor told me that he heard people on his cabinet were complaining that he was always talking about vision. They asked if it was vision they were going to eat. How can you win elections describing your vision for development when can’t conceptualize development?
My first few trips to the UAE, Europe and the US were paradigm shifting for me. It was a more powerful experience than watching movies or reading magazines. Normal was redefined. Some things I considered luxury became basic items. My environment and the way I do things changed.

1. We are emphatic about starting and running businesses because these days, our schools are like factories designed to produce en masse, people that are equipped to work for other people #WisdomForBusiness
2. In time past, it was normal for a child to pick up the craft of his/her parents. The child of the farmer took up farming, the child of the carpenter took up carpentry; #WisdomForBusiness
3. Jesus was the son of a carpenter and then somewhere along the line, they asked, “is that not the carpenter?” When you think about it, there was an entrepreneurial dimension to all that; it was a family owned business #WisdomForBusiness
