For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ:
Philippians 3:20​

I have a simple question i want us all to ponder on . IF our conversation is to be in heaven , why on earth
do i often hear earthly sensual conversations from so many .
This we ought to all ponder. If our hope is JESUS , if our home is not really here , then why is the conversation
of so many on the here and now , on this world . This is just a simple reminder . You all are dearly loved .
Let all that has breath , all that requires oxygen to sustain physical life , LEAP UP AND PRAISE THE LORD

[Mama Etna]

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree:
and it shall be to the Lord for a name,
for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 55:11-13​

[Mama Etna]

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile,
and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
I Peter 2:1-3​

But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
