Belief is REALITY

A man is made up of different things and whatever he is, is a product of what he thinks on in his heart. There are so many ways that lead to different destinations. We follow the way we think or believe is right and that's how we begin to form our belief systems. A belief system is an organized thought pattern that a person has repeated and proven to be true to him thereby forming his realities on it. 

The things we believe in is what we see as our truth. When a person chooses a path and pattern of life, he believes every other person should do the same, because his belief has become his reality. Until there is another conviction greater what he thinks is the best, he won't let go and will constantly cause arguments or conflict with anyone who wants to impose their pattern on him. 

But when a man chooses the way of Love in Christ Jesus, he has the truth and Life all wrapped together. That doesn't change the fact that he'll also face some people's drama who wants him to follow other ways, but if he's convinced that no heights, depths, money, food, people, life - nothing, can take him away from the way he has chosen, then his belief has become a true situation that exists (his reality).

I believe Abraham faced a lot of abuse from his people when he left his father's house (the thinking pattern he's accustomed to) to follow God's word in Faith and Hope. Who he believed became His reality and that we as can see today and even be connected to the blessings of his obedience. 

Now, what about you? What has formed your belief system? Is it the Truth of God's Word or the lies of the world? Are you persuaded in whom you have believed? How firm do you stand on his Word and how long will you walk in Him - the Way, Truth and Life? Is Jesus your reality or the things of this world that will perish?

I encourage you, my brethren, there is no other way that we can be saved or have anything worthy and glorious than being in Christ. You may be in a wilderness, but He'll surely make a way for you. Don't listen to what people may say, it's a way of discouraging you from seeing your realities materialize.

Jesus is always with you. Don't be tired or give up, He will strengthen you, just wait on Him and hold on to His Word. You will see Him come through for you, just let Jesus be your reality. SHALOM!
Romans 4:20

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...
