10 Things You Should Should Do before You Go to Eternity... How Many Are You Doing? (PART 1)



1. Engage With Societal Outcasts
Interacting with disadvantaged segments of the population is an effective way to embrace some of Christ’s practices through your everyday life. Throughout the Bible, there are numerous instances where Christ ate with and otherwise associated with people who were thought of as societal outcasts. (Matt. 25:40-45, James 1:27)
The more you can get outside of your comfort zone, the easier it’ll be to continue Christ’s work on Earth by reaching out and making a positive impact. That’s especially true when others would rather ignore the very groups of people you’re willingly and lovingly serving.

2. Help Others Work Their Way through the Bible
As a Christian, you probably read your Bible regularly, but may know some Christians who aren’t as familiar with the text and are perhaps too intimidated to even attempt to read it frequently. Consider taking time to read parts of the Bible with them and experience the many advantages of communal learning.
"Just remember: Even the most creative approach to reading the Bible is nothing compared to the realization that you are reading the words of God—out of everything he could have said to his sons and daughters, he chose these words, arranged in this way, using dozens of authors over thousands of years. That’s some motivation!" - Crosswalk Contributor Amy Green

3. Give a Public Testimony
Testifying about Christ’s influence can be scary, especially if you suspect your views about faith won’t be well received. However, it has to be done, especially since spreading the Gospel is one of our responsibilities as followers of Christ.
If your initial attempts to speak your testimony don’t go well, there’s no need to despair. Think of your testimony as something akin to planting seeds, meaning it may take a while for your words to bloom or be taken to heart.

4. Take an Apologetics Course
First mentioned in the New Testament within 1 Peter, apologetics is the act of defending your beliefs through reasoned arguments, then sharing those viewpoints with others. As you go through life, it’s inevitable that people will challenge the foundations of your faith. You might also encounter obstacles in your personal faith that cause rising doubts. If you enroll in an apologetics course, it’ll be easier to conquer those instances and face them confidently.

5. Become Familiar With Various Biblical Translations
Many people believe that although men wrote the Bible, God inspired them to do it. Through the ages, there have been numerous different interpretations of the verses and chapters.
The New International Version is a very popular translation that’s been in circulation since the 1970s. In contrast, people often prefer the King James Version, which biblical scholars completed in 1611. There are also other extremely modern translations meant to resonate with today’s teenagers.
More than likely, you probably already have a favorite translation. Even if that’s true, it’s still smart to get acquainted with other versions. Then, you’ll have a broader understanding of biblical texts, and as a result, enjoy more clarity.

THE SAINTS OF OLD SERIES - PROPHET DR. T.O. OBADARE (BIRTH, CALL & MINISTRY)

  Introduction Ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. Mo tun wi leekan si pe ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. E jeki a gbadura (Glory be to God in heaven. And I say once again, glory be to God in heaven. Shall we pray?)[1] This slogan echoed over the Nigerian airwaves, especially in south-western Nigeria, for close to four decades. Each time it echoed, those who were familiar with it easily identified the voice of Apostle (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Obadare, one of the indigenous prophets of the land, who was the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Worldwide); the Executive Director of World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM) and the President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Association of Nigeria (IMA).

Having joined the CAC, he ...

THE SAINTS OF OLD – PA S.G. ELTON (Part 1)

I have been trying (for over 3 months now) to do a research on the late Pa S.G. Elton, who is widely considered to be the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria before featuring him on this platform. However, someone circulated this via What Sapp and I am using it as a platform to start a 3 part series on him. Enjoy the write up below. Your feedback and comments will be highly appreciated. Also feel free to send to  eternity.reminders@gmail.com  any useful article(s) in this regard.  Shalom! LOOKING BACKWARD: In order for us to understand the origin of the prosperity “gospel” and the present reign of mammon in the Church today, we cannot but talk about the man who almost single-handedly established the Pentecostal movement that led to the Pentecostal Churches of Nigeria today. Before then all we had were mostly the “orthodox” Churches with strong controls and hierarchy of the ministers. We did not have the “one-man” Churches of today. ALSO READ JO...
