CHRISTIANITY and TRADITION.

   Christianity is the way of life of some set of people having their lives patterned after the steps of Christ Jesus. Tradition is a belief or way of doing things for a very long time.
   As Christians, it shouldn't be mentioned among us that we practice tradition in any way. Our way of life is totally different from whatever we use to be. I've heard people said " this is who I am and no one can change me" or "this is who we in our family"
   That isn't who you are but who you chose to be! Don't support your ways by tradition, rather according to what God says concerning your act. Your act might have led you right one time in the past, but it doesn't mean that is the end to what you know.
   Being a Christian is an act of dropping your old ways and constant repentance. There is always more to every revelation you have. The existence by which you understand things is another person's starting point.
  The Pharisees, priests, and Sadducees didn't understand this truth. They thought all that is there in God are the law and the prophet. Not knowing there is always more, but only those that seek will find.
   Christianity is about always pressing for more (Philippians 3:13-14). Leave every achievement behind and pressing to a higher calling. You must know you can't explore the whole of God, there is always more to what you know. You can't be a large scale farmer with crude tools.
  When the time to upgrade comes, don't hold on to past knowledge, but let the one that can launch you into more of God and His kingdom do His job. The HOLY SPIRIT is the person who makes you understand deep things. But you must be willing and ready to.
   No one who loves and enjoys being a child can grow to understand adulthood. The HOLY SPIRIT works with those that have genuinely surrendered themselves to the Lordship of Christ Jesus. If you aren't in Christ Jesus by believing in His death and resurrection, Christianity will not make sense to you. Let us focus on things before us leaving behind old ways of life and let the Holy Spirit teach you things beyond your understanding. Shalom!!!

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...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
