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!!!

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...
