MANNA CHRISTIANS

Happy Sunday to you and sure you had a great time in church today, well that's if you went anyway, *smiles*.

On this Sunday edition, MARTHA Mosugu shares with us on 'manna Christians'
Sit back, read and be blessed.
MANNA CHRISTIANS. (JOHN 6:48-49). Our fathers indeed ate manna and are dead... A lot of us today make reference to the religiosity and self  righteousness of our fathers. We boast about their good works,(most of which of course were done in the flesh). We talk about their commitment in church and the society.

All these are not in them selves bad, they simply worked with an idea in their minds, the idea of God. Although some lived a focused life, most of them never really got to know Him personally. They lived as manna Christians and died.

Living right and doing good is living the 'manna' life. It is not enough to belong to a church or service unit or group. There's more. That more is the bread of life- Jesus. Just being part of a Christian body and participating in activities is living the 'manna' life. And that life is but for a while, because, they did eat it and died. (John6:49).

It is Christ Jesus, the bread of life that guarantees eternal life. It is therefore high time we quit eating that manna and turn to the table where lies the bread of life. Put your fears away, for anyone who comes to Him, He will by no means cast out. His purpose for coming is to give us abundant life (John10: 10), to turn all to righteousness. Let's stop abusing that purpose and reach out for that which is expedient.

The manna life may make you acceptable before men, but it is just a question of time before they begin to see that you lack the real thing. Take a step of faith and go for the bread of life. And if you already have, then don't quit eating it.

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...
