1+1=2

Growing up as a small boy in my mathematics class the teacher sat us down and taught us the easiest,common and understandable sum ever,whic i want to share with you all today.One plus one is equals to two(1+1=2).

We all understood the sum,and it has stuck by me since.Today i declare that one plus one will still be two.Nothing can change that.

To the wise and foolish
to the clever and dumb
to the educated and uneducated
to the teacher and the student
to the prisoner and to the free man
to the policemen and the the lawyer
to the pastor and the church
to me and to you
ONE PLUS ONE WILL ALWAYS BE TWO!!!

I left primary school and went to high school where we were taught that the sum could be expressed the other way round.We could start with the result to find out the fomula.We can say Two is equals to one plus one(2=1+1).Thus we then realise that Romans 8:28 holds such truth for us.The Bible say "And we know that in all things,God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose".

God does not promise a bed of roses.He does not say all things are good.I declare this morning but God who is the creator and knows good form Evil will work the bad situations for our good.God say "Cast all your cares unto me for he cares for you",I suggest this morning that the will of God will not take you where his grace will not protect you.God says He plans prosperity and greatness for us(Jer 29:11),so we need not worry about the small situations that are there because God has it in control.

A question may come "WHY DOES GOD DO GOOD FOR US?"

It is because (a).You are called according to his purpose and (b).you love him

The two in this sum is ALL THNGS WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD.
The one is THEM THAT LOVE THE LORD
The other one is THEM THAT ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE

But will we ever be separated from Christ because of our problems?...

Our problems do not change the nature of God(Heb 13:8).His nature is goodness.That is who God is.Our problems bring us closer to Christ Jesus.And nothing can separate us from his Love.AGAPE love,everlasting,eternal,undying,unconditional love.Thats what Christ gives to us.Its not about what we do that he loves us but about what Jesus di on the cross.The Bible states "WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS,CHRIST LOVED US".

Thats how much he cherishes us.

Romans 8:35-37
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?.Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...

No!!!!....In all these thing we are more than conquerors..And im convinced that in all these things nothing will separate us from Christ's love

Bretheren dont let situations bring you down yet there is such great promise of peace from God (Phillipians 4:6-8).God will give you peace as he is the prince of peace.
May God bless you now and for evermore amen
