Today mark another good friday, a day set aside to remember the sacrifice of JESUS. He paid ultimate price for our redemption, He demonstrate to us what love is all about.
We are not only to remember the day but the lesson it show to us THERE IS NO PAIN, NO PALM; NO THORNS, NO THRONE; NO GALL, NO GLORY; NO CROSS, NO CROWN.
The scriptures provide information on some of the things our Lord went through in order to pay the price for our greatness. Isaiah 53:1-12 “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth”. There are other passages in the New Testament that give vivid description of the torture and humiliation that Jesus experienced for us so that we can be redeem.
This indicate to us too, GOD IS A GOD OF PROCESS. He can wipe our sin without Jesus dead, but He chose not in other to laid example for us that process before product. Everthing we want in life require a price although it is true that God has destined us for greatness, it comes at a cost. Jesus already paid the price for the foundation to build on but we also must pay some of the price in order to attain the greatness that our God has destined for us.
We must not hate process and love product only but must be determine to pay the price of process to get a product.
God choose to forgave us despite all our sins. This forgiving spirit that God express through Christ signifies that we have been savingly forgiven. That is, our forgiving others shows that we have faith; we are united to Christ; we are indwelt by the gracious, humbling Holy Spirit.
But we still sin (1 John 1:8, 10). So we still turn to God for fresh mercy of the work of Christ on our behalf — fresh grace of forgiveness. We cannot do this with any confidence if we are harboring an unforgiving spirit. (Remember the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:23–35. He refused to forgive his fellow servant who owed him ten cents, though he claimed to be forgiven ten million. He showed by his unforgiving spirit that the king’s mercy had not changed him.
Jesus protects us from this folly by teaching us to pray, “Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us” (Luke 11:4). That’s why Jesus says we ask for forgiveness because we are forgiving. This is like saying: “Father, continue to extend to me the mercies purchased by Christ, because by these mercies I have been forgiven, and I forsake vengeance and extend to others what you have extended to me.”
May you know God’s forgiveness afresh today, and may that grace overflow in your heart in forgiveness toward others. And may that sweet experience of grace in your life give you added assurance that, when you go to God to experience fresh, blood-bought forgiveness, you will know that he sees you as his forgiven and forgiving child.
‘if you have not give your life to JESUS CHRIST, it is time there is no other way than JESUS. Make up your mind today, He is willing to accept you. I can bolding says JESUS TURN AROUND MY LIFE FOR THE BEST.
If you decide to accept JESUS NOW, send me your comment and i put you through.
God bless you, Happy good friday.

Hello world, Thank God it’s friday but a special friday where we celebrate the death of our saviour JESUS CHRIST. I am glad i belong to JESUS and thank you JESUS for loving me so much that you have to dead for my sin.
Here is my tidbit of the day We tend to judge others by their behavior and ourselves by our intentions.
If we live by this principle, alot will go wrong in our life. A man had just bought a new car and was polishing it with great enthusiasm. While doing so, he saw his 4 yr old son picking up stone and scratching lines on the sides of the car.
In judge the behavior of the boy, the man took the child’s hand and hit it three times with wrench lying nearby not realizing that the child’s hands were too soft to handle such an attack.
At the hospital, the doctors had to operate the fingers as there were major fractures. When the child saw his father , he asked, ‘Dad do you read what i wrote on the car?’ The man said NO i didn’t; he went back to his car and sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’. He kicked it a lot of times, devastated by his own actions why he judge the boy by is behavior and his by intention. Becareful!
God bless you, do have a good day.

Sometimes we don’t know the little set back is a blessing for us. I remember i wanted to do something huge and another thing pop up that prevent my original plan. I was fury not knowing that God is preventing me from calamity at the end i realised the purpose of the delay I thank GOD. In disaster, some people escape while others didnot. May be the lessons from 9/11 that happen in America, the annoying little things is a blessing
As you might know, the head of a major company survived the tragedy of “9/11” in New York because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
One of them missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One’s car wouldn’t start.
One went back to answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled and didn’t get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn’t get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.
Now when I am stuck in traffic…
– miss an elevator…
– turn back to answer a ringing telephone…
– all the little things that annoy me…
– I think to myself…
this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.
The next time your morning seems to be going wrong,
– the children are slow getting dressed,
– you can’t seem to find the car keys,
– you hit every traffic light…
– don’t get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things – and may you remember and appreciate their possible purpose. IN EVERYTHING BE THANKFUL.
