Theme: Meet Judas Iscariot.
Topic: Judas Iscariot's Disposal From the Beginning.
Texts: Matthew 10:4--5, and Luke 22: 1--6.

Read the Texts.
Matthew 10: 4--5 refers;
Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans, ..."

Luke 22: 1-6 refers;
1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 2 and the Chief Priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the Chief Priests and the Officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

Introduction.
It is expedient to check the meaning of Judas Iscariot before studying the texts already quoted, and see his disposition thereafter.
Judas epithet "Iscariot" distinguishes him from the other people's name, meaning the man from Kerioth, this implies that Judas was one of the dagger men, that is the Zealots who favoured armed rebellion against Romans.

Studious Study of Judas Iscariot, One(1).
1. Matthew 10: 4--5.
Read and meditate on these Two Verses already quoted, and study in view of the context of the whole chapter Ten(10). Also notice the verses explained, that Jesus chose Judas to be among his twelve disciples, so that they continue his mission to the world after his exit. But this introductory phase of Judas, Co-labourer with the rest eleven disciples shows he will "betray Jesus. Verses 5 - 42 spelt out their first assignment, to the lost sheep of Israel. I am sure they were successful on THIS their first assignment from Jesus!
2. Luke 22: 1-6.
This 2nd Text shall studiously check Apostle Judas' role in his day. Consider that I earlier noted how the 12 disciples were very successful in their first assignment. But what happened to Judas between that first, subsequent ones are written for us in the Gospels, and this particular one almost at the climax of Judas Apostleship shows what he initially, quietly purposed to do in the beginning of his lifetime, "to betray Jesus" his Master.
Therefore, My Family and I at this introductory point of Judas life, to note that whosoever occupies the Treasury in particular and any other position at various congregations, as well as in the Society at large should guide, guard, and watch their thoughts, because the MATTERS that creeps in the heart at THIS particular phase of the Ministry WILL eventually leads one to Eternity.
If you are blessed by this piece, send it to the ones you love. Many thanks for the reading, until next edition when we come Your way. Bye!

Theme : The Eternal Heavenly Home.
Topic : The Entry Point to Eternal Life With God.
Texts : Isaiah 9:6-7, and John 3:16.

Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [7] Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

John 3:16 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The entry point into God's kind of life, even eternal life with God is redemption from sin.
God paid with the life of his Son, the highest price for your redemption from sin, in order to procure the new life, God's kind of life for you.

Only Jesus Christ can save you from sin and the attending eternal condemnations. None of us possess ability, human efforts or works to earn salvation.

The Bible reveals God's plan for the redemption of all human race revolves around the "Child" God's only begotten Son. He alone can rescue all of us from the dominion and consequences of sin. From our text (Isaiah 9:6-7), Prophet Isaiah spoke of the birth of the long-expected Messiah, and His growing up amidst the surrounding darkness of the north of Palestine, (Isaiah 9:1).

God voluntarily gave his Son to be a sacrifice for the sins of the world, to bring us into the Kingdom of God, and reign in us and over us. God gave us His Marvelous and Wonderful Son to bring us into His Kingdom ( Psalm 118:23; Psalm 139:14; Psalm 98:1; Job 5:9; 2 Samuel 1:26; Psalm 139:14; Proverbs 30:18; Psalm 72:18; Psalm 86:10)

Jesus our Redeemer is also our
everlasting Father, who will abide with us for ever, right from the salvation to the resurrection experience, Amen!

For anyone to participate in the Eternal joy of the entrance into Eternal Life, such must of necessity embrace Jesus Christ as his/her Saviour and Lord. No one comes to the Father except by Him - (John 14:6)

In conclusion, My Family and I would have you examine your life today if you have prepared for your exit from this present world, and have prepared to meet the Lord your God when you die. You need to personally invite Jesus Christ into your life and repent of every known sin. You need to start living a new life of obedience to the guidance of the Spirit of God in you, now that you have genuinely invited Jesus Christ into your heart and repented of your sin.

Theme : The Eternal Heavenly Home.
Topic : God's pathway to Eternal Life.
Text : Psalm 14 : 1-3.

Psalm 14:1-3 NIV
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. [2] The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. [3] All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Introduction:
When a human being rejects God his/her maker, so much as not to demonstrate any form of commitment to the pursuit of knowing God and devoting his/her life to Him, such is a fool.

Vile, empty, contemptible and corrupt beings often deny God’s existence, professing themselves to be atheists.

Romans 1:20-22 NIV
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. [21] For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. [22] Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

The wise in heart do not only believe there is a God but they also strive to please Him in all things. To believe there is a God but refuse to please Him, is another way of being foolish.
God expects us to obey His word and walk in His counsel all the days of our lives.

We were born in sin into sin, possessing the sinful nature, and falling short of the glory of God. We were wired to go our own ways in the pursuit of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, always seeking to please our sinful nature and desires.

God sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ into the world to save us from our sin, the folly of sin and the consequences, and to give to us the knowledge of God (John 3:16-18,36; John 5:24; John 6:40,47; Romans 8:1,34). The unsaved person is a wretched soul trapped in the miseries of sin.

"My Family and I" is using this platform to encourage you to respond to the saving Grace of God now that you have the opportunity to read this writeup before you die.

Proverbs 28:13 NKJV
He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

1 John 1:8-9 NKJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Hebrews 11:6 NIV
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Believing that God exists is simply the beginning of knowing God. God would have you deepen your faith in Him to enhance your personal relationship with Him.

SEASONAL GREETINGS FROM MY FAMILY AND I TO ALL THE AMIABLE RECIPIENT(S).

Bible Text : Matthew 1 : 20 -- 21 refers;
Verse 20 ".... an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what is concieved in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

As Year 2023 Christmas season is here, which is the Golden Birth of or for all seasons from creation till date, we are happy that you are witnessing the celebration.
Note the reason why God sent His only begotten Son according to John's testimony in his Gospel -- Chapter 3 : 16 refers; "For God so loved the world that He gave his One and only Son," that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the World to condemn the World, but to save the World through him.

On this note, and with the joy of the Birth of the Saviour of the WHOLE WORLD, I on behalf of My Family and I celebrate with all who are already in Christ Jesus to continue to enjoy the soon coming of the Savior into our world, and for Those who are yet to do so to make this GOLDEN DECISION to accept Jesus Christ during the 2023 Christmas Season as a Land - Mark decision of their lifetime before transiting to eternity.
Once again, I say Merry Christmas to all and Sundry, till the first quarter of 2024 before coming your way again. Peace be unto Us all, Shalom Sirs and Mas.

Theme : The Eternal Heavenly Home.
Topic : The 2nd Arranged World Order by the Creator Himself.
Text : 2nd Corinthians 5:9, Genesis 3 : 1-24.

2 Corinthians 5:9-10 NIV
[9] So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Genesis 3 : 1-24 (NIV) refers;
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the tree which is on the midst of the garden; 3 but of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, lest you die.' ".... 7 Then the eyes of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD GOD walking in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" ... 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." 17.... Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life... 19.... For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. ".... 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed Cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree life.

We shall be focusing on our topic in this edition. We will look at other Bible passages that throw more light on the topic.

Theme : The Eternal Heavenly Home.
Topic : The First Created Order of the World by God.
Text : Genesis 1 : 1 -2:2.

Genesis 1 : 1-2:2 (NIV)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.... 3 Then God said, "Let there be light", and there was light.... 6 Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, ... 11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth", and it was so.... 14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of heavens to decide the day from night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.... 16 Then God made two great lights: The greater to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.... 20 Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an aboundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens".... 22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply, on the earth".... 24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creatures according to its kind!.... 26 Then God said, "Let Us make make man in Our Image, according to Our Likeness; Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in His Image; in the Image of God He created him; male and female He created them.... 28 "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over everything that moves on the earth. 29 And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every herb for food, and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good....
Chapter 2:1-2(NIV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them were finished. 2 And on the Seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the Seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Reading the whole of our text in this series will give us full insight into the scriptural narration/account of how God created the entirety of the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:31 affirms that God is satisfied with all that He created. The orderliness in His creation is obvious to even the most ardent atheist. In the scriptural account of creation in the 2nd and the 6th day creation, we note the followings:
1) The wisdom of God in setting up the galaxies, the display of His Majesty and Sovereignty in the firmament.

2) God created the universe in His own fashion as God. In the creation account we shall examine how God accomplished His heart desire:

Genesis 1:3
Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Hebrews 11:3
We understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Hallelujah! As humans, we are familiar with making things with our hands, as directed by our minds. But God in the creation account that we just read, simply spoke a command and made the universe. This is awesome.

Psalm 33:6 TPT
All he had to do was speak by his Spirit-Wind command, and God created the heavenlies. Filled with galaxies and stars, the vast cosmos he wonderfully made.God is the Lord of creation, the Almighty God. Because he is all-powerful, we should revere him in all we do. To take Him for granted is to our own peril.

"When I considered Your heavens, the work of Your fingers.... what is man that You are mindful of him?" Psalm 8:3-4.

3) In the creation of man, God chose to creat man in His Own Image (Genesis 1:26). Man is the crown of His creations.

My Family and I will be praying fervently for all our readers to rededicate their lives to living and honouring this Good and Gracious God of ours.

Text: 2nd Corinthians 5: 1-10.

2nd Corinthians 5 1-10 (NIV)
Now we know that if the Earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, ... 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.... 8 We are confident, l say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Theme: Memories of Our Marital Journey from the Beginning till Date.
Topic: Continuing in Prayers for the Children from Your Bowel in Your Lifespan.
Text: 1st Samuel 1: 12--17, 21--28.
1st Samuel 1: 12--17,21--28(NIV) refers;
12 As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voices was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk.... 15 "Not so, my Lord," Hannah replied," I am a woman who is deeply trouble, I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD..... 17 Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." ..... 21 When the man Elkananah went up with his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and fulfil his vow, 22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, "After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always, ..... 24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three young old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh 25 When they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli, 26 and she said to him, "As surely as you live, my Lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. 27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him, 28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the house of the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there.

ERNEST STUDY OF THE TEXTS IN CONTEXT OF THE TOPIC.
A fervent study of 1st Samuel l:12--28 shows a sincere and deep prayer role played by his parents, Mr & Mrs Elkananah in the life of Prophet Samuel, because his Parents cooperated and resolved to uphold the child Samuel during his life on planet earth to fulfill God's plan;
Just like Mr & Mrs Elkananah stood in the gap for Samuel's coming into the world, My Family and I believe that today's family that claim to know God should emulate Samuel's parents and in no doubt, children of such devote parents will live to fulfill God's mandate for their lives.
