Christianity - Overated?


It's Sunday again...

A day where a lot of us spend time in his presence, go to church, listen to the Pastor preach, and in all certainty vibe in the Sunday ministrations. 

That's how we are as Christians. It's the  supposed norm that we've been taught even before we could walk. It's how the "Christian" lifestyle is said to be.

Yet, when we walk out the Church and go to our various homes, we live totally different lives... It's like we're another person and living a double life. Living a life that doesn't please God.

And no it's not just about dressing or talks, it's about those secrets in out closets. The hidden diaries in our hearts.

What does it mean to be a Christian?

What does the Christian lifestyle entail?

Isn't it about being Christ-like?

Well...

I think we seem to forget that a lot. Being a Christian doesn't mean we should live a life for show, it's not a reality show. We're not on TV.

Being a Christian means we are willing to accept Christ and let him take control, to let him take the wheels.

It means we choose to live like Christ. Choose to let him in on our deepest secrets, let him in our ugliest thoughts and in that process, let him clean us up.

Christianity has a lot to do with vulnerability. It has a lot to do with being at the Lord's feet and letting him see all you are. 
Being naked before him just like in the very beginning with Adam and letting him wash you up and clothe you.
It has a lot to do with letting the Father, Jahdosh, take your hands and teach you how to walk again.

That's what it means to be a Christian.

The Lord would never forsake you, not for one bit. His Holy Spirit is there to guide you every step of the way.

He said, "Come unto me... And I will give you rest."

Father never intended Christianity to be a religion. He wants a place of freedom, a place of rest. He wants you to be in an environment where you can be who you are before him, where you can be your best and your worst.

And so, when you leave the Church, do not forget that you can and are still in his presence, only if you let him in. 

God loves you very much😌

It can't be overated😊

    The Christian lifestyle is a work in progress.
    God will help us grow in his likeness.

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...

Choosing to Trust God

This has to be the most trying moment of my life. 1 John 5:4 – For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. Have you ever experienced fear so much that you could cut it with a knife? Over the course of this year, I have felt anxiety that would be considered toxic for anyone. On most days, it felt deafening, and all I wanted to do was cry. On other days, I'd pull myself together and try to fix the pieces.  I had to ask myself, "Why?"  I wasn't like this before! I had moments where I was scared, but never anything like this. I could feel myself drowning in self-pity when I knew that I could be courageous and take a step further, but I remained here... in this dark place. The moments ahead of me were ones where I had to make real choices for my life, and I was afraid of making the wrong choices and of remaining small. I didn't want to miss out on the good things of life and make a mistake that was costly for me, and so I chos...
