[Must Read] "Is Gambling a sin?" What does the bible say About Betting?

Christian life hints ,
[Must Read] "Is Gambling a sin?" What does the bible say About Betting?

"Is gambling a sin? What does the Bible say about gambling?"

Betting sites
The Bible does not particularly condemn betting, gambling, or the lottery. The Bible warns us, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Sacred writing likewise urges us to avoid endeavors to "get rich quick" (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). Betting most unquestionably is centered around the adoration for money and certainly entices individuals with the guarantee of snappy and simple wealth. 

What isn't right with betting? Betting is a troublesome issue provided that it is done with some restraint and just now and again, it is a misuse of cash, however it isn't really malevolent. Individuals squander cash on a wide range of exercises. Betting is no pretty much of a misuse of cash than seeing a movie (in many cases), eating a superfluously costly meal, or buying a useless thing. In the meantime, the way that cash is squandered on different things does not legitimize betting. Cash ought not be wasted. Overabundance cash ought to be put something aside for future needs or given to the Lord's work, not bet away. 

While the Bible does not expressly make reference to betting, it mentions occasions of "good fortune" or "possibility." for instance, making bets is utilized in Leviticus to pick between the conciliatory goat and the substitute. Joshua thrown dice to decide the allocation of land to the different clans. Nehemiah thrown dice to figure out who might live inside the dividers of Jerusalem. The missionaries thrown dice to decide the substitution for Judas. Proverbs 16:33 says, "The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD." 

What might the Bible say in regards to club and lotteries? Clubhouse utilize a wide range of advertising plans to lure card sharks to chance however much cash as could be expected. They frequently offer reasonable or even free liquor, which supports tipsiness, and in this way a diminished capacity to settle on savvy choices. Everything in a clubhouse is superbly fixed for taking cash in extensive totals and giving nothing consequently, aside from momentary and void joys. Lotteries endeavor to depict themselves as an approach to subsidize training as well as social projects. Notwithstanding, contemplates demonstrate that lottery members are normally the individuals who would least be able to bear to burn through cash on lottery tickets. The appeal of "getting rich speedy" is excessively incredible an allurement, making it impossible to oppose for the individuals who are urgent. The odds of winning are microscopic, which results in numerous people groups' lives being demolished. 

Can lotto/lottery continues please God? Numerous individuals guarantee to play the lottery or betting so they can give the cash to the church or to some other great motivation. While this might be a decent intention, the truth is that few utilize betting rewards for genuine purposes. Studies demonstrate that by far most of lottery victors are in a much more terrible budgetary circumstance a couple of years subsequent to winning a big stake than they were previously. Hardly any, really give the cash to a decent purpose. Further, God does not require our cash to support His main goal on the planet. Proverbs 13:11 says, "Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase." God is sovereign and will accommodate the necessities of the congregation through fair means. Would God be regarded by getting given medication cash or cash stolen in a bank burglary? Obviously not. Neither does God need or need cash that was "stolen" from the poor in the enticement for wealth. 

First Timothy 6:10 lets us know, "For the love of money is the root of all evil. A few people, excited for cash, have meandered from the confidence and penetrated themselves with numerous distresses." Hebrews 13:5 announces, "Keep your lives free from the affection for money and be content with what you have, on the grounds that God has stated, 'Never will I abandon you; never will I spurn you.'" Matthew 6:24 broadcasts, "Nobody can serve two masters. It is possible that he will loathe the one and love the other, or he will be dedicated to the one and disdain the other. You can't serve both God and Money."

Why I Still Take Public Transport - Tope Alabi

NEWS/EVENTS ,
Why I Still Take Public Transport - Tope Alabi
Gospel Artist Tope Alabi reveals reasons why she still take public transport
Tope alabi songs

When it comes to gospel artistes in Nigeria, Tope Alabi is one of the popular ones. She recently trended on the Internet with her spontaneous worship song, ‘Logan Ti Ode,’ which featured songwriter and celebrity photographer, TY Bello.

The video was viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on several multimedia platforms, especially on the YouTube and Instagram pages of both singers, with many fans sharing comments of how the song inspired and moved them to tears.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, the singer revealed that she composed 16 songs on that day, insisting that they were not pre-written.
According to Alabi, many celebrities live a fake life but despite the fame she enjoys, she has made a conscious effort not to live like them.

“I still go to the market to buy groceries; I don’t like the idea of living the life of a celebrity. Sometimes when I want to go out, I take public transport.
There was a day I boarded the BRT bus in Lagos to get to the popular Balogun market; I could hear the passengers whispering to one another.
“They were arguing if I was the one or not. They were saying Tope Alabi is not a poor person so there is no way she will be on a public bus. When I was about to alight from the bus, I revealed my identity to the driver, and this made many of the passengers to also get down from the bus to take pictures with me.
“Sometimes, it is necessary to have a taste of what it feels like to be an ordinary woman on the street. Many celebrities do not live their real life and are not free to do whatever they like; that is why I don’t restrict myself. When someone is not free to do what they feel like doing, like every other person on the street, it causes depression which can even lead to death.

“Some people try to sell fabric worth N20,000 to me at the rate of N100,000 because I am a celebrity; they don’t bother to find out if I have that kind of money or not. Living a fake life can lead to indebtedness as some celebrities always want to meet up to a certain standard,”she said.

Alabi explained how she enjoys going on long walks in her neighbourhood, describing it as “the kind of life I like.”

“Someone once told me to get escorts for security reasons, but I declined because I didn’t need them and still don’t need them. I am still discrete about my movement but I still live a normal life.
“I believe in buying only the things I can afford; I’m not materialistic. I always hear different stories of celebrities that lie about their material possessions; there is no need to live an extravagant life at all,” she added.

Describing how she felt about the acceptance of the viral music, Alabi said she had no idea she would become a successful gospel artiste. Citing her first two albums as an example, the singer recalled how gospel songs were poorly accepted at the start of her music career.

“The Holy Spirit gave me about 16 songs on the spot on the day we recorded, ‘Logan Ti Ode.’ It was not planned, we were supposed to be singing together but the Holy Spirit had other plans for us. It was after the whole thing that TY Bello revealed to me that the Holy Spirit told her to keep quiet while I sang.

“There was none of my old songs on that track; it was supposed to be a photo shoot and a moment of worship. So, when we finished the photo shoot, TY Bello called a keyboardist and a drummer to join us; the plan was just to do a family worship. However, immediately I noticed the presence of the Holy Spirit, I had to suspend what I was doing prior to that time and I followed His leading.

“I am still in awe of how the song went viral within a short time; some of my songs had gone viral like this before but this is exceptional. When I started gospel music, I didn’t expect to be this famous; I am even afraid because the fame and fans are overwhelming. I am afraid because I fear God.

“What if I had been discouraged when my music was not paying my bills? I used to struggle to pay my children’s school fees. I once hired a bus for my band members and had to pay by instalments,” she said.
She recalled how some marketers she had taken copies of her first album to, asked her to come and take them away as no one was buying.

“When I gave the compact discs to some marketers, they asked me to come and take them back because people were not buying them. I was very discouraged; I made up my mind not to sing again. I told God that there was no way I would do music as there were other things I could do that would fetch money for me.

“Four years after, I did another album and people still did not buy it. It wasn’t until I added another song that people started buying the album,” she added.
Interestingly when she was young, Alabi’s parents wanted her to become a Sister as according to her, they knew she would work for God.

“When I was about seven years old, my parents told me God was going to use me but I didn’t believe them, they actually thought I was going to be a Sister because I was born into a Catholic family.

“I told them I didn’t want to be a Sister even though I loved Catholicism. They were worried that I didn’t want to go to the convent. My mother always insisted that I would work for God. Interestingly, I got my style of singing from my mother. Sometimes, when I sing, I listen to her voice in me,” she told Saturday Beats.

What is Free Masonry and what do Free Masons believe?

Christian life hints ,
What is Free Masonry and what do Free Masons believe?
What are free mason symbols
Kindly note - by this article, we are not asserting that all who are engaged with Freemasonry are cultists, or that all Freemasons trust every one of the things made reference to beneath. What we are stating is this - Freemasonry at its center is definitely not a Christian association. There are numerous Christians who have left Freemasonry in the wake of finding what it is really about. It would be ideal if you visit Ex-Masons for Jesus for more data. There are additionally great and authentic men, genuine devotees to Christ who are Freemasons. It is our conflict this is on the grounds that they don't genuinely comprehend Freemasonry. Every individual ought to petition God for astuteness and wisdom from the Lord concerning whether to be required with Freemasonry. This article was evaluated and affirmed for precision by a previous Worshipful Master of a Blue Lodge.

Question: "What is Free Masonry and what do Free Masons accept?"

Reply: Freemasonry, Eastern Star, and other comparative "mystery" associations have all the earmarks of being innocuous partnership get-togethers. Huge numbers of them seem to advance faith in God. In any case, upon closer examination, we find that the main conviction prerequisite isn't that one must have confidence in the True and Living God, but instead, that one must trust in the presence of an "Incomparable Being", which incorporates the "divine beings" of Islam, Hinduism, or some other world religion. The deceptive and hostile to Christian convictions and practices of this association are in part covered up underneath an outward appearance of an alleged similarity with the Christian confidence. Coming up next is an examination of what the Bible says with the "official" position of Freemasonry:

Salvation from Sin: 

The Bible's View: Jesus turned into the delinquent's forfeit before God when He shed His blood and passed on as the satisfaction (installment) for the wrongdoings of every one of the individuals who might ever trust (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:8, John 3:16).

Free Masons View: The simple procedure of joining the Lodge expects Christians to overlook the selectiveness of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. As per Freemasonry, a man will be spared and go to paradise because of his benevolent acts and individual personal growth.

The View of the Bible:

The Bible's View: The extraordinary and entire motivation of the Scriptures—that they are inerrant and that their lessons and expert are total, preeminent, and last. The Bible is the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13).

Free masons View: The Bible is just a single of a few "Volume(s) of Sacred Law," which are all regarded to be similarly essential in Freemasonry. The Bible is a vital book, just to the extent those individuals who guarantee to be Christians are concerned, similarly as the Koran is essential to Muslims. The Bible isn't viewed as the restrictive Word of God, nor is it viewed as God's sole disclosure of himself to mankind; however just a single of numerous religious sourcebooks. It is a decent guide for profound quality. The Bible is utilized essentially as an image of God's will, which can likewise be caught in other consecrated writings, similar to the Koran or Rig Vedas.

The Doctrine of God: 

The Bible's View: There is one God. The different names of God allude to the God of Israel and uncover certain traits of God. To revere different divine beings or to call upon different gods is worshipful admiration (Exodus 20:3). Paul talked about excessive admiration as a grievous sin (1 Corinthians 10:14) and John said that worshipers of another god will die in damnation (Revelation 21:8).

Free Masons View: All individuals must trust in a god. Distinctive religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and so on.) recognize a similar God, just call Him diverse names. Freemasonry welcomes individuals all things considered, regardless of whether they utilize distinctive names for the 'Anonymous One of a hundred names,' they are yet petitioning the one God and Father of all.

The Doctrine of Jesus and the Trinity: 

The Bible's View: Jesus was God in human frame (Matthew 1:18-24, John 1:1). Jesus is the second individual of the trinity (Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9-11). While on earth, He was completely human (Mark 4:38, Matthew 4:2) and completely divine (John 20:28, John 1:1-2, Acts 4:10-12). Christians ought to supplicate in Jesus' name and broadcast Him before others, paying little respect to offense to non-Christians (John 14:13-14, 1 John 2:23, Acts 4:18-20).

Free Masons View: There is no selectiveness in Jesus Christ or the Triune God who is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; in this manner there is no precept of the divinity of Jesus Christ. It is esteemed to be un-Masonic to conjure the name of Jesus when imploring, or notice His name in the Lodge. Recommending that Jesus is the best way to God negates the standard of resilience. The name of Jesus has been excluded from scriptural stanzas that are utilized in Masonic customs. Jesus is on indistinguishable level from different religious pioneers.

Human instinct and Sin: 

The Bible's View: All people are conceived with an evil nature, are completely debased, and require a Savior from wrongdoing (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Psalm 51:5, Ephesians 2:1). The Bible prevents that in light of the fact that from claiming the Fall, mankind has inside itself the limit with respect to moral flawlessness (1 John 1:8-10, Romans 1:18-25).

Free Masons View: Through images and symbols, Masons instruct that man isn't corrupt, simply "discourteous and defective naturally". Individuals can enhance their character and conduct in different ways, including demonstrations of philanthropy, moral living, and intentional execution of city obligation. Mankind has the capacity of moving from defect toward aggregate flawlessness. Good and otherworldly flawlessness exists in people.

When a Christian takes the oath of Freemasonry, he is swearing to the following doctrines that God has pronounced false and sinful:

1. That salvation can be picked up by man's acts of kindness.

2. That Jesus is only one of numerous similarly adored prophets.

3. That they will stay quiet in the Lodge and not discuss Christ.

4. That they are moving toward the Lodge in otherworldly murkiness and numbness, when the Bible says Christians are as of now in the light, offspring of the light, and are inhabited by the Light of the World—Jesus Christ.

5. By requesting that Christians guarantee, Masonry drives Christians into obscenity and taking the name of the Lord futile.

6. Stone work instructs that its G.A.O.T.U. [Great Architect of the Universe], whom Masonry accepts is the genuine God of the universe, is illustrative of all divine beings in all religions.

7. Stone work makes Christians adopt a universalist strategy in their supplications, requesting a "conventional" name be utilized so as not to irritate non-devotees who are Masonic "siblings".

8. By swearing the Masonic pledge and partaking in the teachings of the Lodge, Christians are propagating a false gospel to other Lodge individuals, who look just to Masonry's arrangement of salvation to get to paradise. By their exceptionally participation in such a syncretistic sort association, they have extremely traded off their seeing as Christians.

9. By taking the Masonic commitment, the Christian is consenting to permit the contamination of his psyche, soul, and body by the individuals who serve false divine beings and accept false regulations.

As should be obvious, Masonry denies and repudiates the reasonable instructing of Scripture on various issues. Stone work additionally expects individuals to participate in exercises which the Bible denounces. Subsequently, a Christian ought not be an individual from any mystery society or association that has any association with Freemasonry.

The World is coming to an end | Theologists panic as 3 bible prophesies about Endtime "Come true" | See

The end time coming signs
A snake crawling out of Israel's Western Wall is being viewed as a THIRD sign that the Endtime is near. 
Coming after the introduction of a red yearling and fish showing up in the Dead Sea, scriptural researchers currently fear the trio of occasions are confirmation prophetically calamitous predictions are materializing. 

Recently a video hit the features in Israel demonstrating a snake crawling out of Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. 

What's more, that is being professed to be the third indication of doomsday in the same number of months. 

The clasp of the snake pursuing a pigeon was posted on Youtube and shared by Hebrew bloggers. 

Breaking Israel News says one posted: "The evil inclination, personified by the snake in Eden, will make a resurgence in the days before Messiah." 

They say the image of a pigeon being frightened away by a snake demonstrate we are living in "perilous occasions". 

The Dead Sea Fish

A month ago Israeli photojournalist Noam Bedein detailed sightings of marine life in little sinkholes around the Dead Sea, and also developing plants. 

The Bible states after the devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah a land was transformed into a fruitless no man's land. 

Be that as it may, Ezekiel, a minister and prophet, who shows up in the Old Testament, predicted the salty waters thriving into life in his finish of-times prescience. 

As per Ezekiel 47: 8-9, "Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

[9] And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.". 

Mr Bedein disclosed to Breaking News Israel: "Going to the Dead Sea, the most reduced point on earth, you see prediction working out as expected. 

"A place that was once reviled in Biblical occasions, now you can come here to the Dead Sea, investigate the sinkholes and see angle where the water has subsided – satisfying predictions from Ezekiel who discussed the land prospering and blossoming when the Jews return." 

Multi month before the Dead Sea angle, another Bible doomsday prediction was dreaded to have worked out as expected after the primary "red yearling in 2,000 years" was conceived in Israel. 

In both Christianity and Judaism, the introduction of red yearling in the Holy Land is integral to the forecast about the "End of times". 

After "broad examination" of the calf, rabbinical specialists were said to have affirmed she was a "reasonable possibility for the Biblical red yearling".
