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.

Nigeria At 55: Look Back...Look Forward.

Yesterday, we celebrated our 55th independence anniversary and while pondering on what to write to commemorate our 55th independence day celebration, I discovered there are a lot of perspectives I could write from. So many topics and issues quickly raced through my mind, like, '55 Years After; How far so far?' 'Independence or Dependence, Where are we going? Etc. But in the midst of it all something exceptional dropped on my mind; which is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving? Yes. Thanksgiving. Many would be quick to analyse, condemn, discuss and compare the state of the nation being 55 years after we got independence, well, that's not bad. But isn't it good for a man at 55 to thank God for the years past spent? Ask any 55 years old man and he will tell you it has been rough and tough, appointments and disappointments, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, successes and failures, but yet he will be grateful for the privilege of being alive to see 55. How does Nigeria fit in...

You and your Weakness

S o many times I have had interactions with people on particular negative habits they exhibited and more often than none their responses has always been, 'that's just my weakness'.

Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts. It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere. Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude no m...
