Secret Affairs

MONDAY MORNING MANNA:SECRET AFFAIRS
Some few weeks ago,hackers gained access to a website called Ashley Madison. This website was created 13 years ago for the sole aim of promoting adulterous and immoral sexual relationships. It's motto is "Life is short,Have an Affair".
This site had a user patronage of 33 million people and made about 115 million US dollars from sales in 2014 alone. Users provide their personal details as they register to become members of this community after being assured of the utmost secrecy and confidentiality of their information.But in the past few weeks, these supposedly confidential details have been released to the world via the internet to the shock of all clients.
Many marital relationships which had hitherto been considered smooth sailing have hit the rocks when one partner discovers the other is a patron of the services of this platform. Not a few individuals have had their saintly reputation soiled by this saga. Some of them, not willing to face the gross shame associated with the leak, have committed suicide...
Today,Many people engage in sinful acts when no eye is watching. Some of those acts suck! Even many professing Christians!
Many “believers” publicly decry the biblically incongruent moral compass of today’s world, yet there’re secretly guilty of same.

Friend, What "Secret Affair" do you engage in? Fornication? Drug Abuse? Pornography? Masturbation? Stealing? Homosexuality?

What would be your lot if the Devil decides to make public the video clips of your affairs in his database?

Ultimately, the greatest and largest data breach would happen after the Rapture...when Jesus returns again. The whole human race would lose their privacy rights. Activities which had hitherto been considered sacredly secret would be trending on twitter!

What would be your fate then?

If you're presently involved in sinful secret affairs, Repent...Delete your information from the server of the kingdom of darkness by calling on Jesus for the salvation of your soul!

Then tell someone of your secret affairs. Someone trustworthy. Be accountable so as to prevent a relapse. He/She will watch your back.

Unlike the motto of Ashley Madison, Life is Short,(DON'T!) have an affair!

...For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. (Matthew 10:26 NLT)
...So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.(Rom 13:12 NLT)

ILU AGIDIGBO

MONDAY MORNING MANNA: ILU AGIDIGBO
There's an adage in the Yoruba culture (One of the major Nigerian tribes) about a particular percussion instrument called Ilu Agidigbo.
The popular adage goes thus...(The English interpretation in parenthesis)

Lowe lowe la nlu Ilu Agidigbo
(The Agidigbo drum is beaten proverbially)
Ologbon ni i jo, Omoran ni i mo
(Only the wise dance to it and only the knowledgeble understand it)

God has been proverbially drumming his Ilu Agidigbo since the foundation of the world began but the wise actually began to really dance to it and the knowledgeable began to really understand it's rhythm after the event at Calvary over 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ shed his precious blood for the redemption of humanity. Since that calender changing incident, the wise and the knowledgeable of men and women from different nations and cultures spanning several civilizations have understood and danced to the tune of it's drumming. Some of them danced energetically their whole life till they vacated this earthly dancefloor for the next.

But many not-too-wise individuals (though wise in their own estimation) for various reasons have refused to dance to the beating of God's Ilu Agidigbo. This may be due to 2 reasons, it is either they're not knowledgeable since only the knowledgeable knows the rhythm or they're not wise, since only the wise can dance to it...
The knowledge and the wisdom of this rhythm can be obtained from the word of God (The Bible) especially from the book of John and Romans, the hearer will now thereafter decide for himself whether to dance to it or not.

It was expedient to note that the drumming of God's Ilu Agidigbo is only for a limited time. Very soon, all drumming will come to an end and all dancing feet will be gloriously adorned with beautiful beads.

So friend, why don't you put on the dancing shoes of repentance and dance to God's Ilu Agidigbo of Salvation?

Don't forget, the drumming of God's Ilu Agidigbo will SOON stop!

The Lord is...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(2Peter 3:9 KJV)

GOOD MONDAY MORNING! 

P.S:Today's MMM broadcast is dedicated to the memory of believers who having danced to the rhythm of God's drumming, have departed this earthly stage for the heavenly. We'll catch up with you sooner or later!

THE SALTLESS SALT

MONDAY MORNING MANNA: THE SALTLESS SALT
Julius finally appends his signature to his resignation letter. He had finally decided to resign for good. How could his employer ignore his request for a pay raise for over 9 months? He felt cheated! And he knew all these was because he is a Christian. This is part of his own persecution but this cross is too heavy for him to bear. He'd put an end to this embarrassment and trust God for a "miracle job" that would launch him into his promised land...
He walked slouchily into his employer's office and stood before him. "Mr Johnson, I'd like to have a word with you Sir" he said.
Mr Johnson motioned him to have his sit as he signed the remaining documents on his desk.
"Mr Julius, I'm all ears" he said, on finishing the task at hand.
Julius began "Sir, After many months of perseverance and undue longsufferring in this company. I have decided to call it quits. I'm resigning"
On hearing this, a burst of excitement surged inside Mr Johnson. He couldn't believe his ears. Julius is resigning...Glory to God!
If there is one employee Mr Johnson regretted bringing into his company, it is Julius. He's such an impossible individual! He displays no euthusiasm whatsoever for his job and is only interested in his entitled end-of-the-month pay check.
An habitual late comer to work, who would use the most productive part of the day lazying around in the office.
If Julius is giving a task to perform, the quality of work done would need to be verified over again. His advent into the company has added little or no value to the company and he's fast becoming a financial liability.
His relationship with his colleagues isn't cordial to say the least and to add salt to injury, Mr Johnson is a born-again Christian who would not miss an opportunity to declare his allegiance to Christ at the top of his voice!
And to top it all, he requested for a pay raise. Pay raise my foot!
All counselling sessions to be a better employee fell on deaf ears and he would have shown him the exit door all along if not for the fact that he is a fellow believer in Christ.
If believers are likened to salt in the scriptures, he wouldn't know what kind of salt Julius is. He's definitely a SALTLESS SALT!
He'd exercise more caution in the future when employing Christians into his company...His experience with Julius has taught him an unforgettable lesson!

LESSONS (You can draw more...)
1.Julius is a vivid example of a Salt that has lost its savour. Being a Christian is an added incentive to raise the bar of diligence and not otherwise.
2.Julius' attitude at work creates a wrong impression of being born-again especially amongst unbelievers who know little of the truth.
3.He's expecting a miracle job from God when he has not faithfully discharged his responsibility in the one at hand.
These ought not be!

Friend,Which Kind of Salt Are You?

What is the report of the savour of your saltiness...
...In your place of work?
...In your Family?
...Amidst Friends?
...From enemies?

Be a Salt. Add Value to your immediate environment. Shine the Light of Christ.

...Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Matt 5:13 KJV)

GOOD MORNING!
