Christianity

   Some people have established that the life of a believer is not a religious one, but a way of life. While that is right, we must also understand that it's not only a culture - a way of life, but also THE WAY IN LIFE. 

As Christians, we have a life patterned after Christ Jesus and also understand that in Him, we live, move and have our being. The pattern makes a lifestyle and because it's different, the world made it a religion. 

People of the world sees us as "extreme moralist". This is as a result of the darkness in the earth which cause them not to see the force backing us up and personality within us.

Christianity is way more than a religion. It's the life of Christ express in us. This also is the reason why we all must let our light shine. To some, we are pretenders, and come see us as liars. 

It's not our work to defend ourselves, let the Lord reveal His power. They can't understand because darkness (ignorance, lusts, anger, pride, hatred, bitterness, e.t.c) is the order of the day. 

They need a greater Light to cut through the darkness of their hearts, remove the blindfold from their eyes and make them understand God's Love and it's transforming power.

We are who we are by the Grace, Mercy, and Love of God. Christianity is about adding values and making impacts. The kingdom must have people whose aim and Target to the world are influencing it with the it principles and standards. 

The only thing that must be expressed through us to the world is God's Love and I pray that the Holy Spirit breathe on the Love in our hearts and make it shine for the transformation of nations. Amen.

 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...
