Chronicles of Truth

Reading the stories of great heroes of faith almost makes us believe that some of these men were never faced with Fear. Many times we focus on their bravery, focus, excellence, and strength to carry on (which is a beautiful template to be inspired from). But we must also understand that they were humans ; they had flaws and so many things were against them just like we have them in this time and age. So, they also must have experienced fear while trying to follow the instructions of God, making decisions, or starting some other things.  You and I are not alone in this. If they overcame, so will we. It is a matter of when. Fear, just like every other emotion we feel, at certain junctures in life, is inevitable. Being afraid or scared is not as important as the things we do with it and any other emotion. Fear drains, and standing from that point in prayer and mindset is extremely dangerous because it's might end up with a speech just like Job saying "The w...

In our previous post , we established the meaning, and the focus of the topic is self-control. We will continue from where we stopped – which was breaking free through the word of God. It's also the foundation for any tangible change in a believer's life. Today, we move! Moving on from where we stopped, another important thing is, be honest with yourself and God. You don't have to sugarcoat anything for God or yourself. You know yourself, at least your past; and God, He knows you more than you know yourself (past, present, potentials, purpose, and future.) Talk to Him honestly. Not hiding anything. It's like when a malfunctioning car is telling the manufacturer and itself, "I can handle this, just watch me as I run a thousand miles with a busted tire." You won't go far! Have an honest conversation with Him. Don't get me wrong, it is good to apply faith, but denying the present obvious situation is not faith. Be true to yourself at least ( y...

You can control you. Well, that wouldn't be you directly but the power and the life of Christ in you finding expression from your spirit to your soul. Thereby giving you strength to resist the temptations surging from your old life. Let's start like this:  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20, KJV). This is Apostles paul's testimony on how the old life and its path don't control or have influence over him. Giving our lives to God and receiving the life of Christ is the great start for a journey, but not enough to keep us going.  The fact that we were saved means that there was a track record of something in our lives. And though, our spirit is saved, there are so many things we must address in our soul to sustain us in the journey and help our growth in Christ. Today we will b...

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...

From my previous posts , we understand that we are on a journey and we need a lot of things as we go on in the way. This brought me to an important point that I believe is valuable in forming the basis of our defense for the Kingdom and the Father—Loyalty. A dog is said to be the most loyal animal to Man. In the sense that it will always show up for its owner any day or time. We are not dogs, but the figure of speech is needed for the message of this post. Being loyal is a state of having or demonstrating undivided and constant support for someone or something. It can also be a firm allegiance to a person or institution. It is a display of faithfulness to a person or cause. Judging by the standards of this definition—God has been faithful. He's got our backs at awkward moments and saved us from troubles, time and time again. He trusts and believes in us so much that He could entrust us with His Spirit—we've not earned or deserved it. We know God is faithful to us! B...
