COMMITMENT

Commitment can be defined as a state of been pledged or engaged to something very important. Taking family as a case study - when a father isn't committed to his wife or parent to children or vice versa. They tend to do things for the benefit for one singular purpose - THEMSELVES. You can imagine what kind of family that will look like.

   Commitment is an act of loyalty - being devoted to or faithful to someone, cause, or nation. As Christians, we know our loyalty is toward the head of the church - Christ Jesus. He loved us so much that he gave Himself up for our sins (john 3:16). He wants is to reciprocate this by being faithful to Him.

   Let's think about it. Who on earth can Love to the extent of sacrificing his/her life because of someone who doesn't even care if he/she did or not? But Christ Jesus did, even when we were yet sinners he died for us ( Romans 5:8).

   As wonderful as the testimony of our savior, we only love and worship Him with our mouth, but our heart is far from Him (Matthew 15:8). If it were you that did all Jesus did, would you be please if the people you did all these refuse to be committed to you.

   Some of us suddenly turn to mathematicians when it comes to giving offerings and tithe. We become busy when we are called to work for God. We think we are too big to do those kinds of things. Who are you before the Lord Almighty? We even hide unforgiveness in our heart just with lots of reasons, when Christ Himself took all your punishment and forgives you all your sins. Think about it, in what way are you not committed.

   If Jesus Christ should come back today, will boldly say to you that you are a faithful servant? Just check through your life and pray that the Lord should reveal that area you aren't committed, and ask Him for grace to be committed to Him in Love. He will answer you only if you are ready to make things right with Him. He loves you and wants the best for you, only your commitment is needed.

Shalom!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
