DAILY DEVOTION FOR TODAY 3RD OF NOVEMBER 2017

By

  Chief Of Sinners   A daily devotion for November 3rd   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: 1 Timothy 1:12-17       This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (1 Timothy 1:15 KJV).       That sounds simple to us, yet it is very profound. All of us were mixed up, confused, bewildered, darkened in our understanding, and alienated from the life of God. Read Paul's descriptions in Ephesians about what we were like before we came to Christ. Everybody--those with brilliant minds, highly educated people--everybody is in the same boat. Christ Jesus came to take away the darkness, unveil the mysteries, remove the illusions, reveal reality, and awaken love, compassion, mercy, and ministry to others. This is the purpose of Christianity. Then Paul says what is the most astonishing thing of all in this passage:  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.  If he had sai...

Buhari May Return To The UK For Further Treatment In Three Weeks March 10th, 2017 In a clear indication that President Muhammadu Buhari’s return earlier today from London was premature and motivated by political pressure from some of his closest associates, Presidency and medical sources have told Saharareporters that the ailing Nigerian leader is set to return to the United Kingdom in three weeks to continue treatment for an undisclosed illness. Saharareporters had consistently disclosed that members of Mr. Buhari’s medical team in the UK had advised against his return to Nigeria at this time, adding that some members of his political circle, afraid that their influence was about to slip, pressured the frail and still ill president to return to Nigeria in order to quell anxiety that he was too gravely ill to continue in office. Early this morning, a presidential jet carrying Mr. Buhari landed at the Kaduna Airport in the capital of Kaduna State. The terribly emaciated and f...
