Zeek's devotional 5/7/16
Text: Matthew 20:1-16
Topic: God loves all equally
Do you think God loves all the same way?. If you had read this text from 1-16, then you will get an answer. Lemme paraphrase a little...
Verse 1:"The kingdom of Gos is like a householder, who went out in the early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard".
Now to verse 2:"he agreed to pay them after they are done". Verse 3" after he left them,(by then they already started work in the vineyard) he strolled to the market place and saw some people idle, not doing anything about the 3rd hour( in the afternoon) and told them to go to his vineyard and told them he's gonna reward them with the same reward for the first labourers, who already started work early in the morning.
Verse 5,6,7 he did likewise in the the 6th and 9th hour(evening and night).
Verse 9 was strange"and when all that were hired came, everyone received the same reward."A PENNY".
Why would everyone receive the same thing? Many would say that's cheating. Now, imagine yourself in that position, definitely you're gonna complain, likewise this labourers complained.( the ones that was hired earlier)
Is the householder wrong? Of course no. They had an agreement, he fulfilled it(one penny) verse 13.
He owns his money, and he can do anything with it. He didn't cheat anyone.
This is a parable. And what's it saying?......
For the xtains have been in the fold for quite a while now, harvesting souls, praying for brethren, joined different service units and enjoying God. When another person comes into the fold(sinners). He will treat them good too, he would reward them good.
Sorry to say this, GOD won't treat you "specially" because you've been in the fold for long.
Once a sinner is saved he automatically enters the "reward mode". Example you are going to the same Paradise.. Abi do you have better place?
You are not more important than that smoker or womaniser, that killer, that liar that raised his hands during alter call to give his life to Jesus last Sunday.
Every believer is on the same page with Christ. He won't love you better than he loves other believers just because you've been born again since 1776..Jes keep being in the vineyard..

Do you think you can really change the world?.. well late Mrs Mildred V. Leonard thought so. In case you don't know..or you are new here my name is  Zeek  and I'll be taking you round every week on something catchy on music/songs or something related or interesting. I am a music lover and also a critic. Someone once sent me a song I had to delete. sometimes I don't even care who sings, once its bad, its bad. well don't get me wrong i'm not saying i'm a ''standard'' to be followed but that's me. I might not know so much on the basis of music theories as a study, but I sure know how it should sound. enough of feeling myself.....before you say i'm showing myself..(grins). so this afternoon I heard this song on the radio while trying to study. it caught my attention. I quickly picked one or two lyrics put them together and i asked my friend, my friend, GOOGLE. On a lighter note now, google should satrt paying me o. im a stakeholder.

can we have it general?

Hello everyone, I apologize for that short break I had. i had things going on; it was imperative i took it off. So, down to today's business. This day's piece is a question and a bugging one at that. This is it...IS IT POSSIBLE A SONG HAVE A GENERAL ACCEPTANCE, LEAVING NOONE BEHIND?. I'll consider this piece a little rhetoric. This question I had asked myself severally and seem to find no concrete answer so far especially from the few people I had consulted, the reason I had to publish this. Considering the fact that there are many factors involved in Individual music/song selection. ranging from factors such as musical background of the individual; talking about the type of music the Individual was/had been exposed to especially at a very tender age. Genre is  another factor; some like it cool and ''R n B' like, some like it ''rocky''(like Rocky Balboa). state of Individuals mind at a point in time is another thing; to some people when they ar

SONG OF THE WEEK-HALLELUYAH(jonhnny Drille ft. Simi)

You know why I like life? When you think you’ve seen it all? You see another side suddenly unravels. This same process applies to music when some seconds ago you felt…o boy…this is my jam…another humble artiste drops another hit. Music is much more than melody, rhyme, I can say its..hmnn.(what’s the word again?) ENCOMPASSING. Lest I forget, I’m sorry for the delay in this posting, many technical issues came up and personal ones Don’t let me bore you with my lil obsession about how it should be seen( I wish I could see my school work this way, just saying) So, my song for this week is one of our own. You want to guess? I bet you would have guessed wrongly, if not for my topic (gotya). A friend some weeks back asked me, what does ‘’Halleluyah’’ have to do with a love song. At that title, seeing simi and johnny drille on the cover the ‘’religious’’ people may wanna feel somehow.., but to the music lovers that question will be what will spur me(us)..it would make us inquisitive, make us w
