Pastor Commits Suicide after Sending Nude Photo to Church Whatsapp Group

A Christ Embassy pastor, Letsego, in South Africa, has killed himself after an embarrassing mistake. According to Daily post , the abominable act was committed after the pastor accidentally sent a nude picture of his penis, meant for his mistress, to a church Whatsapp Group. While this meant seem strange for a man of God, an anonymous member of Letsego claims this is not out of place for the late pastor. “ Pastor’s antics have always been a cause for concern, he was always seen in the company of one of the deacons named Miriam and we suspected there was more to their friendship than meets the eye. Quizzed by his wife and congregants, he would shrug off the allegations and say as a Pastor he was a father to everyone and Miriam was his favorite Daughter", the congregate said. Pastor Letsego reportedly left the group chat after discovering that his picture, captioned: “Wife is away, it’s all yours tonight,"   was sent to the wrong person. H...

Devotion - Why This Challenges

Challenges are normal to life. Jesus Christ prepared our minds for potential challenges, with an assurance of victory.  The first way to know that you are not prepared for life is to run away from challenges. Challenges are stepping stones to greater heights in life. ` Whatever you are facing is common to human life, but you can trust God to bring you out. The level to which you are surprised at challenges is the level to which you are unprepared.  You need to communize your problems by revelation and by faith. Thinking differently is critical to your permanent victory. Your mind is your world. As your mind is; so is your world. 'As a man thinks in his heart, so is he…' Proverbs 23:7A.  Work on your mind and your mind will work on your challenges. Winning starts from your mind and not from outside you.  Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brethren, w...

Devotion - UNPREDICTABLE LIFE

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” - Psalms 90:12 In the 2003 US Women’s Open, Hilary Lunke stunned the sports world when she won the greatest prize in women’s golf. She did not only win the US Open in an 18-hole playoff, but that was her only professional victory which gave her a place in the history of world sports. Hilary’s stunning victory demonstrates the unpredictability of sports. Also in the field of academics, Ben Carson rose from a near school drop out to a renowned world Neuro-Surgeon. This should be a challenge to every youth. Life is unpredictable. No one can predict his/her life with absolute certainty, except God. As you make plans for your life, you must put God in the center. He knows you beyond your predictions. His thoughts for you are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Surrender your life to Christ today and live for Him. Depend wholly on God as you live your life, and He will guide y...

HOW TO ACHIEVED FREEDOM

Salvation of humanity from the evil in this world and the world to come is the greatest miracle of all ages. That Jesus came to die for humanity and spilled his blood on earth for the remission of our sin is the greatest news of all times. “ Act 10:43 says “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins”. “ Act 26:18 to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” . Jesus was anointed to put an end to all works of the devil, ( Act10:38). With resurrection, Christ is risen with greater power and glory to put an end to all oppressions of wickedness against those that embrace this truth and follow after Him………. And Jesus came (after resurrection) and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth ( Mtt 28...

Are We all Christians?

Christianity is the  world's largest religion ,  with over 2.4 billion adherents, known as  Christians .  Christians believe that Jesus is the  Son of God  and the  savior of humanity  whose coming as  Christ  or the  Messiah  was prophesied in the  Old Testament .  "What is a Christian?" A dictionary definition of a Christian would be something similar to “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point, like many dictionary definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian. The word “Christian” is used three times in the New Testament ( Acts 11:26 ;  26:28 ;  1 Peter 4:16 ). Followers of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” in Antioch ( Acts 11:26 ) because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ. The word “Christian”...

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Today am going to share a few secrets with you, there are somethings we don't know we can accomplish when we are in Christ.  We call ourselves Christians, but not all of us knows what that really means. I will discuss more on that on my next post. If you have received Jesus Christ as your personal  Savior, you can be certain of these things: You are a child of God. “ But as many as received him, he gave right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in his name ” ( Jn.1:12 ). You are forgiven and justified. “ He has…forgiven you all trespasses” ( Col.2:13 ); “ Justified freely by His grace through redemption that is in Christ Jesus ” ( Rom.3:4 ). You have new life from God. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new”(2Cor.5:17) You are saved for eternity. He who hears my word and believes in Him who sent me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has ...
