PAY NO HEED TO THE BEAUTY OF WOMEN (For had I not seen her beauty, I had not fallen into this great iniquity. Matthew 5:28) True Life story by Pastor Pelumi Paul Jacob - An excerpt from Reuben Testament And behold I call to witness against you this day the God of heaven, that ye walk not in the sins of youth and fornication, wherein I was poured out, and defiled the bed of my father Jacob. And I tell you that he smote me with a sore plague in my loins for seven months; and had not my father Jacob prayed for me to the Lord, the Lord would have destroyed me. For I was thirty years old when I wrought the evil thing before the Lord, and for seven months I was sick unto death. And after this I repented with set purpose of my soul for seven years before the Lord. And wine and strong drink I drank not, and flesh entered not into my mouth, and I eat no pleasant food; but I mourned over my sin, for it was great, such as had not been in Israel.................. .....

He wants to Forgive you for your Sins

God knows everything about you. He knows the good things that you do but he also knows the bad things that you don’t want anyone to know about. The Bible says that all of us have done bad things, called sins, and it says we all deserve to be punished for doing them—it says “the wages of sin is [eternal] death” (Romans 3:23, 6:23a). But the Bible also says that “the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23b)! You and I are so important to God that He sent His very own Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and take the punishment we deserve. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son [to die for our sins], that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus came back to life and was seen by hundreds of people before going home to heaven (1 Corinthians 15:3-6)! God loves you so much that He wants to forgive you for your sins. But first you must agree with Him that you have sinned. You

7 Biblical Facts About Jesus You Probably Did Not Know

Think you know Jesus pretty well? In these seven matters, you'll discover some strange realities about Jesus hidden in the pages of the Bible. See if any are news to you.  1 - Jesus was born earlier than we thought. Our current calendar, which supposedly starts from the time Jesus Christ was born (A.D., anno domini , Latin for "in the year of our Lord"), is wrong. We know from Roman historians that King Herod died about 4 B.C. But Jesus was born when Herod was still alive. In fact, Herod ordered all male children in Bethlehem two years and younger slaughtered, in an attempt to kill the Messiah. Although the date is debated, the census mentioned in Luke 2:2 probably occurred about 6 B.C. Taking these and other details into account, Jesus was actually born between 6 and 4 B.C. 2 - Jesus protected the Jews during the exodus. The Trinity always works together. When the Jews escaped from Pharaoh, detailed in the book of Exodus, Jesus sustained them in t

Important Things To Consider Before Having An Affair

A common pitfall, which all of us can be vulnerable to, is convincing ourselves that “so and so” at work understands us better than our spouse does. However, just because a co-worker comes across as charming – it doesn’t mean they really are. If you are frustrated with your marriage and you’re thinking about starting something new, here are three things to consider before having an affair. One: Most of us are inclined to be more cordial, or more friendly at work and other places outside the home. Those qualities are vital components of teamwork and customer service. By the end of a shift, we’re tired and once we reach home, the sight of a familiar face may not trigger a need to be fully present, or pleasant for that matter. Over time, of course, this becomes a habit. It’s very easy to take our spouse for granted, thinking they will always be there, but in the workplace we are at peak performance, because our goal is to provide income. Let’s break th
