The Relativity Of Normal

The same event could mean different things to different people. Our normal varies.

Normal is a generally accepted ideology of history and people. Normal is ordinary, typical, regular, common, conventional, usual, traditional, etc. A life of the average (just fine) for some people.

For some, normal is the progressive life of becoming the best version of oneself for some people. It is a balanced and diversified life where God is the core and definition.

Who defines your normal?

There are two types of living - the natural and supernatural. One seems normal and abnormal to each subscriber. Whose definition will you agree with? It is normal to live by your senses and reasonings - everybody does that.

Acting and reacting to the things and situations the way you have learned over time to be true to you. An Abnormal is to live like a wind - Led by the Spirit of God and living by faith. But the former is someone's wisdom while the latter is foolishness. Which normal do you prefer?

Normalcy is a choice. You choose your own normal. The people living by Faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit have categories. You could choose to your normal - just there or you decide to come up into deeper realms with God.

There is always a new normal to contend for. A place not just for pastors and prophets, but every true child of God. What realm do you call normal? We know in parts. There are spiritual gifts to contend for, but there is a more excellent way - Love.

There is a place called greater - where you can't be confined or accurately defined at one glance, a place of truth and becoming. To every point of normal, you get to, there is a lesser and greater position.

LET GREATER BE YOUR NORMAL.

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...
