Chronicles of Truth

Growing up, there were things that children have to be subjected to so they could behave appropriately at home and around other people. There was this concept that made the person in the position of power or authority to have an edge over some people and then legislate on their behalf. At the home front, it's most likely to be the parents. They make sure their children are brought up in the way of the Lord, to be respectful. As good as that was, the concept wasn't capturing the totality of the Scripture. As children, we did as we were instructed and any default could result in lashes (in whatever form). There was an understanding that parents could be wrong, but there was no gut to talk back because there has been a cloud that has been forming—respect, that you can't rise beyond.  A child like that could grow up to believe that standing for what is right is wrong because of the single side of God's Word (s)he was exposed to. And the list goes on and on, depe...

A LETTER TO EVERY TO THE BABIES IN THE BODY. Dear babies,  The ones going to church and expecting that people change because of them or shouldn't have the liberty to express themselves because you are there. This is for you. My advice and message to you is, please GROW UP! Some of you have spent 1-3 years in the local assembly you are in. Yet, you expect that you should be checked up on because you missed church services and some activities.  This, of course, is not talking about faithful workers in the vineyard of the Lord - people who serve and honor the Lord with their time and resources. Always showing up to help and put things in order. The Lord will reward your labor of love in Jesus name, Amen. But to my brothers and sisters that feel entitled to the respect of everyone. In case your pastor or workers are scared of breaking your pride or losing you, I'll do it for them. YOU ARE A SPOILT BRAT!  You come into church and everything is set. You are not aski...

Failure is neither good nor bad, but the attitude and circumstances around it determines whether it's a successful one in either of the extremes and perspective you are looking at it from. But, generally speaking, failure is a state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. It is often used as the opposite of success. Due to the focus of this article, we will be looking at the topic from different perspectives. First, of all, we can see it as a failure that is not regrettable, but rather a learning platform for greater chances of success in the future. A pile of failures that propels someone to a greater feat. This is definitely referring to those who have hope and faith in the Lord, that there failures and mistakes are not who they are.  Who they truly are is defined by the God of heaven. They will say like Micah, each time they fall, "...I'm down, but I'm not out. I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light"(Micah ...

You exist in this world for a reason. There is an impact you must make on earth. It wasn't a mistake you came in this time, you could have been put here before or after now. Why now? It's because you have a purpose. You thought you were ordinary - just one of the billions on earth. You ask what difference does it make that you are here? Well, if you weren't that important, the devil won't be on your case. He attacks you constantly, bruise your heels, cloud your mind with hurtful thoughts that depress and make you lose hope that you can never be a voice in this world. Well, that's a lie. God didn't plan that you will go through the things you went through. But if you went through it, He is using it for your good. Because all things work together for good to them that love God and called according to His purpose. The things you went through were supposed to take you to a place beyond the consciousness of yourself. There is an agenda beyond you and you are pa...

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?...

Good friends are gifts from God. Ask David and Jonathan. It is a good thing to have someone going somewhere same time as you, it is a wonderful thing to have somewhere you both are going somewhere and the same place at the same time and it is great to have people who don't necessarily have to go your way, but can connect, help and add value when you meet them. If friendship becomes a burden instead of a mutual benefit, then its high time for a rethink, discussion and adjustment in the relationship or a personal crosscheck of lifestyle.  One mustn't weaken the other rather they are to help each other to grow. It must be founded on and in Love. Love is a person with a personality - God and not just a feeling.  The expression of God to man, man in Christ and man to other men is Love. The fact that you like the person isn't enough for a solid friendship. You must also have a definition and destination. What is your friendship all about and where it's leading...

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...
