IDOLATRY

It was a moment of sober reflection, moment of self pity, moment of deviating from evil to good to stay away from Idol worshipping and embrace our Lord Jesus in other to receive the blessing of God. People preferred to worship foreign gods than the heavenly host,so many Christians that God and at the same time they are inside shrine doing incantations to other gods, whenever you do that you have eliminated yourself from God's blessing.
   Further, "because of idolatry God's blessing has continued to elude you, therefore get rid of Idol worship in your midst and God will bless you. It's a contradiction for you to see a child of God that called himself a Christian and at the same time practicing idolatry. Most of us what we are suffering today is ancestral manipulations, many families worshipped idols and many families committed lots of evils.
   It is true that Jesus Christ came and sacrificed himself, this means that, any Idol family that exist is because of love of God. Most Christians will use one hand to hold the Bible, and the other to hold charms. You can never claim to be divine and yet you are worshipping idol. Sin can never attract Gods favor and mercy. The Israelites worshipped idols and they were defeated. How can you mortgage your relationship with Jesus, how can you compromise your destiny as a child of God, how can you condescend so low into worshipping idol. Some of us who desire prosperity, without desiring the master, the giver of wealth. We desire chicken without egg, we desire the way without desiring the person that will show us the way. We want to get to our destination without clicking the way that will lead us to that destination, and that is Jesus Christ. We should embrace Christ as our Lord and personal saviours, thereby turning from our evil ways to a good life.

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

TEACHING AND PEACE CORPS

Teaching today is hard work. The old demands that one knows his subject and master the art of teaching are increased by the need to prepare students for a world that is constantly changing, and in ways that were unfamiliar and complicated.     We now inhabit what we should call spaceship earth, and the instructor's book didn't come with it.     But it is not true that the demands of our own technological world represent the only or even the most difficult challenge to the teacher. Beyond the technological world, there is a world not constantly changing, in fact, where change has not come fast enough, and when change alone can bring partnership in the 20th century.     To the developing world, the peace corps teacher is asked to bring skills and knowledge. He is also asked to bring understanding, which respects the beauty of that world's religious beliefs and customs. The peace corps teacher must guide and, at the same time, respect the student's uniquene...
