Say HiLET US DO THE RIGHT THINGIn order to understand the facts of this passage (Judges 20), we must read Chapter 19. Chapter 20 is a distortion of Chapter 19 because the Levite involved in this incident aroused the emotion of the people and made them give a jungle justice which brought about the bloodiest civil war between two brothers – the Israelites and the Benjamites. By manipulating the Israelites to avenge the injustice on his behalf, the Levite was able to unite them. But sadly, they were united for a cause that was based on lies and deception.We can learn a great deal of lessons from the passage. On the surface, we see deceit and deception at work. How dark is the heart of man seeking revenge? Judges Chapter 20 tells of a cruel and heartless man who manipulated his countrymen into taking revenge against his enemies for an act of violence which he has indirectly caused. The Levite also deceived himself of all responsibility for the death of his concubine. He hid the truth of him throwing his concubine

Say HiAnchor Scripture: HEBREWS 6:1-8INTRODUCTION-In this passage, the writer of the book of Hebrews tried to separate the boys from the men and the immature from the matured.He was trying to separate the elementary teaching from the teachings that the matured receive.You are a product of what you feed on, If you feed on milk, your strength will be limited but if you feed on meat your strength will increase.In the Church of God today, there are so many baby Christians, there are maturing Christians and also the matured Christians. THE COURSE OUTLINE OF ELEMENTRY TEACHINGS1.Repentance- Though some have been in Church for so long but they still need to be preached to like they have never heard the message about salvation. This is because their behaviour sometimes shows that sin is nothing to them. It does not matter how long you have been in Church or the number of discipleship programmes you have taken, there are some things you should not be found doing. But if you continue in this sin, it shows you are stil

Say HiWHY EVIL TRIUMPHS Going by the statement of the creator of heaven and earth, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that “the devil has come only to steal, to kill and to destroy”, one can say affirmatively that evil is inherently weak because evil does not produce. Evil only takes advantage of good men and women if it is to succeed.Evil by its nature is wasteful and destructive. It breaks, kills and destroys but it does not produce and invent. Evil survives by manipulating the good into doing its will. Most evil is done through people who never make up their minds to be good or evil. That goes to say that “when you cannot stand for something, you will fall for something.”Most of the decent men and women who fall into the sin of obedience to evil try not to make waves for resistance. They adopt the perspectives of their overlords and in the end they take up the minds of their overlords and do their will.Therefore, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men and women to obey evil overlords.

Say HiTHE UNIQUENESS OF JESUS Jesus Christ is the most unique man in all of history. No man has ever been written about as an individual like Jesus. He was penniless yet rich in all things. He did not go to school but He was God’s wisdom. Remember, at age 12 the great teachers of the Jewish synagogues were amazed at His teachings. He was not a political official yet more popular than the kings and emperors of His day. He had no house He could call His own yet at least 12 people (His disciples) were sheltered by Him for more than 3 years and were not tired of Him.Miracles had been wrought by prophets of old before Him but none could compare with that of Jesus. At the mention of His name, Satan and the demons tremble and decaying dead are raised to life again.We can talk about His unique birth. We can talk about His sinless life. We can talk about His unique compassion. We can talk about His unique death. We must not forget about His unique resurrection from the dead. Uniquely He ascended to heaven. Of all the

Say HiFORGIVENESS The teaching on forgiveness is so hard to swallow by many people who say they are believers in Christ. Yet it is one basic truth taught by Jesus Christ Himself and found in many passages of the Bible. How easy for us to claim that the Bible is the final authority to all Christian practice and to the church.The truth is, without forgiveness, there is no freedom; without forgiveness, there is no recovery and without forgiveness, there is no healing. Nursing offence can enslave both the offender and the offended. Offence can strain relationship and reconciliation maybe denied for years. In like manner, the pain and wound that offence can cause may never be healed if care is not taken.I found these interesting quotes in a book titled “Forgive and Love Again” by John Nieder and Thomas Thompson and decided to extract the ones that fascinated me.“To forgive is to turn the key, open the cell door, and let the prisoner walk free.”“To forgive is to write in large letters across a debt, ‘NOTHING OWED’.

Say HiTHE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST The resurrection of Christ is so important for several reasons. First it attests to the unequaled power of God Himself. To believe in the resurrection is to believe in God. If God created the world out of nothing and He is in control of the entire universe, He must have power over death also. If death will bring an end to His creation then He is not worthy of our worship and trust.Second reason of Jesus’ resurrection is a testimony to the resurrection of human beings which is a basic tenet of the Christian faith. Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises His followers of life after death. As Christians, we believe in a Saviour who became man, died for our sins and was raised to life the third day. The grave could not hold its maker. He is the one who lived, died and lives forever having killed death by His resurrection.The Bible guarantees the believer’s resurrection at the coming of Jesus Christ. Such hope and assurance brings about the song
