EVEN SATAN HAS A PURPOSE

 


Said the Sparrow to the Vulture: "You're a very evil bird. You like living things to die so you can feast on them. Why are you so wicked? Is it your nature to devour the dead bodies of fellow animals? Has God cursed you to take delight in death?"

The Vulture without a flicker of remorse retorted brashly in a devil-may-care manner to the perplexed Sparrow: "I am a scavenger! God created me to clear away dead things to give space for new things. Maybe God's curse that you speak of is that this is where I must eat from, here is how I feed so I must do this as my needful. But know this, I am important in the biological ecosystem because I help to take away dead things from the Earth." 

Morale: 

There is a reason for everything. Find the meaning behind the matter. Problems, trials and suffering have their purpose. Even Satan the great deceiver and destroyer is fulfilling his purpose of deception and destruction. This he must do until the time appointed by the LORD for his Eternal Judgment.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet (encounter or fall into) trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness (endurance or perseverance). And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-4, ESV with NASB, LSB in parenthesis).

NB: 

* Sparrows primarily eat livestock feed, including cracked corn, cereal grains, oats, wheat, rice, and dried insects. These birds also feed on chopped fruits and berries in winter when regular food sources are scarce. They even feast on human food and kitchen leftovers.

* Vultures are scavengers or carnivores that eat on the carcasses of other animals. This means they eat mostly carrion (dead bodies' leftovers) and aren't fussy about which animals they eat.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship.

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
