THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING CLOTHES

BACKGROUND
In this parable, the King’s son is to be married and the king is planning the wedding celebration. He had invited the obvious people, the great men of his kingdom, the people one would expect to be at such an occasion, but they had treated his invitation with contempt. They have proved unworthy of it. But the King cannot cancel the banquet. This is his son’s wedding; it must be celebrated; there must be guests to fill the banqueting hall. Where can worthy guests be found, guests who will not spurn but be glad to be there and really share the joy of the occasion with the King? Who will prove worthy to be a guest at the wedding banquet?

NOTE ON THE TEXT

PART 1: THE SPECIAL INVITED GUEST REFUSE TO COME (MATT. 22:1-3; REV. 21:2, 9)

Go and Address the Problem: We now know how the military conducts its operation

The spokesman said they were informed some Boko Haram leaders were having meeting at Rann so the Airforce were instructed to "go and address the problem" which simply meant go and bomb the area.

Well they killed innocents including members of  NGO who were there to immunize children and they said it was a mistake and soulless Buharists are dismissing this military high handedness as "it was a mistake, everyone makes mistakes".

These are people who criticize the police for accidental discahrge.

Even when it is established that it was by accident, they curse the generation of the police man, but they see no problem with a soldier bombing a civilian population and killing tens of innocents including children.

THE DAY OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST JOY - Pastor Dr. E.O. Abina

(Luke 2:8-14 NKJV)

Since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and subsequent judgment on their sin, there has never been a day of good news of joy for the world as the day Jesus was born. It was the most joyful news the world has ever heard. As a result of the sin of Adam and Eve, man had been separated from the presence of holy God. Sin separates man from God, because God is totally holy, He has purer eyes which cannot behold sin (Hab 1:13). That was why He drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of blessing and pleasures originally prepared for man at creation. And at the time of the judgment of the sins of Adam and Eve, man was cursed. Sin always brings a curse on the sinner (see Gen 3:17-19). In spite of the mess that Adam made, God did not give up on man because of His love. He promised to send a redeemer who would come to save man from sin so that man may be restored to God (see Gen. 3:15).
