Better Safe than Sorry!

-
It is better to do the right thing rather than being sorry! 
How often do you say sorry?
How often have you heard others say sorry? 
Some find it very easy today sorry. 
To others,  it is a difficult word to pronounce. 
But what does it mean to be sorry? 
Many think sorry is a word you throw to get people you've offended off your case. 
That is why they get upset when they realize that their offenses are still held against them after they said sorry. 
Sorry for them is a magic word that upon pronouncement makes all their misgivings disappear.
They think sorry is a word that changes others' perception of them.  All the anger they provoked will suddenly dissipate into thin air.  For them, sorry is supposed to change others. 
However,  sorry is a word that change you first.  Saying sorry shows that you have changed.  You have decided not to do the things that are making you sorry.  Sorry is a sign of repentance. Hence one who is sorry doesn't make demands. He depends on the clemency of the other party to receive pardon
 and mercy.  
So stop saying sorry when you don't mean it.  Don't use it because you want the punishment to stop. Don't say sorry when you're not sorry.  This is because sorry isn't just a word you say,  it is a word you you should be.  In order words,  it is better to be sorry instead of just saying sorry. 
So, be sorry before saying sorry!

TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PAY YOUR TITHES

-

MEANING OF TITHES The word tithes comes from the Hebrew word MA’ASER which means a tenth of the whole. That means if you have ten sticks, one would be the tithe. If you have a hundred sticks, ten would be the tithes. The majority of Christians today practice the tithe which they rightly equate as being ten percent of their gross income. But a careful look into the scriptures reveals that the Israelites whom Christians today are striving to emulate did not practice tithing the way it is done today.  Tithing for the Israelites was 23.3% of their gross income. You may wonder how it came to be that percentage when payment of ten percent only is what is emphasized by today’s church.  THREE TYPES OF TITHES The Jews in scriptures practice three types of tithes. Yes, you heard me right. There were three types of tithes that the Jews practiced. When you added all the three together, it amounted to a total of 23.3%. Levitical Tithes : Numbers 18:21-24, Malachi 3. The Levitical tithes

WHO IS THE SON OF MAN TO YOU?

Matthew 16:13-18 Jesus asked his disciples two questions when he was with them in the region of Caesarea. The first question was directed to the people outside his circle, hence he said, “Who do men say that I am?”  After they answered him, he redirected the question this time to his inner circle. “Who do you think I the son of man am?” Jesus asked his closest followers. This interaction shows us a certain number of things. The world has always been divided into two poles; the believers and the non-believers; those on the outside of Jesus’ influence and those on the inside of his influence; those that are close to him and those that aren’t. The scriptures use the expressions Jews and gentiles to adequately show this dichotomy. There are those that are in Christ and there are those that aren’t. There are those that are in Adam and there are those that are in Christ.Those that are in Christ’s inner circle have a different understanding of who He is than those that are without

by :Conrad Mbewe  May 30, 2012   I came across a pamphlet today. It was given to me at the traffic lights while waiting for the lights to go green. It read as follows: My name is Stella Mwanza from Sinda (Eastern Province). I used to read in newspapers and listen to the radio about how different people were testifying concerning Pastor Elijah and I was so impressed with his healing powers that I decided to try him as I had a lot of problems. First, my husband was divorcing me as he accused me of having an affair with another man and even doubted our lastborn child. Pastor Elijah prayed for me and this calmed down my husband and now we’re happily married with our kids. I introduced a friend of mine to the same pastor who had an unstable marriage because her husband was sexually weak and had a tiny manhood. She was going out with other men to satisfy her sexual desire though she loved her husband. Pastor Elijah invited the couple to his place and prayed for both of them. Now
