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.

Relationships: 5 Ways to Apologize

Because we are relational beings we tend to offend others and step on each other’s toe but then if we want to maintain a peaceful life and continue to enjoy our relationship with them we must know how to apologize. And because we are different and unique, each of us has a way of which we want the apology to be expressed. No wonder sometimes we apologize and it seems the other person is not satisfied. It’s not that you didn’t apologize just that you didn’t express it in the language they will understand. You must therefore understand the apology language of the other person in other for both of you to be reconciled. Therefore let me share with you five ways you express apology Expressing Regret: "I am sorry." "I feel badly that my behavior has hurt you so deeply."

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...

Relationship Basics

W elcome to a brand new month and week. September is going to be a wonderful one for you. Human beings are relational beings. You were created to relate with your environment, and importantly, other humans. Surprisingly, while most individuals have learned and succeeded relating well with things they failed relating well with human beings. This is always displayed at work, class, home church and everywhere humans are present. One major problem in relationship is misunderstanding. And chief among it causes is superiority complex. The truth is you will always find it difficult to understand anyone you feel superior to. In any relationship where you feel you are better than the other person either intellectually, materially, financially, spiritually or in any other way, that relationship will always be plagued with problems and eventually break. The reason is simple. It takes humility to understand someone else. Understanding is a combination of two word...
