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!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
