We're Not Worthy, but God Chose Us

2:00am, 13/12/2022



God is King!

In fact, He is the king of all kings.

In the relationship between a King and his people, the king takes total control of the power and rules over his subjects. He dictates all the people must do and provides rules that govern their way of life, but it's a whole other story with God. 

Yes! God values laws and obedience, but there's more to this ubiquitous being.

Imagine this...

Someone who created all that we see and feel. One who Created the sky, the trees, rivers, animals, and man. Someone who Created those things that we cannot see; the heavens, our emotions, wisdom, love, times and seasons. 

You can only imagine how powerful such a being is. How intelligent and magnificent he is! 

But here's the unique thing about it all...

This seamlessly powerful being in all his majesty chose you and I. He chose the very beings He created, to share a relationship with. 

He chose to make you his child, to make you his friend and confidant. And although you aren't worthy (we all are not worthy of such love), he still picked you first even before you chose to follow him.

One thing about man is that he lets the guilt and the failure cloud his judgements. 

You think God doesn't see the sin? You think he doesn't see the misconceptions you make about him? Do you think that he doesn't see the broken person you hide behind that smile? That he doesn't know about the battles you fight in secret, when you think no one else is watching?

Well, he does!

He sees it all. He knows that you're not perfect and that you're fighting for purpose. He knows that you're battling those addictions. He knows that you're trying to overcome those crisis that you're facing and He is not rejecting you!

If anything, he is patiently waiting for you with arms wide open. Waiting for you to realize that He's there.

Overtime, I've realized that we are never really the ones that run to God intentionally. Most times, he is the one that draws us in. The one that draws us out of darkness, and into his shining light. 

You may have lost your way. You may be stuck and trying to find a way out, but I'm sure when I tell you that Father is already there and He is waiting for you to reach out to him.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." ~ Matthew 11:28

Father knows what you are going through and he loves you nonetheless. Run to him, he is waiting for you. He is waiting to show you his mercy and unfailing love.

The best thing you can do for yourself is trusting God.

God loves you😌

Act of Obedience

"I look unto the hill from whence cometh my help... My help cometh from the Lord" Today, I'm in a sticky situation.  Found myself having a writer's block, hmmm... But I have to write not just because I know there are people looking forward to this, but because this blog is an act of obedience... It is his daily dose of love to you and I. I'm grateful to Father... Whenever you think you've grown distant, he's always like, " My child... Where are you going? Come back home..." When it seems like all hope is lost, he steps into the story... That's my Father, that's Jahdosh (Yah). I will save you.... Save you from every destruction. I am here for you , Father says , I am your help in times of need and even when you think you don't need me. You might think you're lost in that path, but I am right beside you. This is a word for someone, you might think that God doesn't love you, that he's left you behind. He's th

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 Christi

Life... Be grateful!

Life... Only but a fleeting moment. Today, an incident that struck a lot of people took place today. The news of a coursemate being dead was one none of us had expected, most especially not in our final year. We never thought of wearing black and walking around the school, never thought we would mourn a soul so soon... But it happened. This led me to one thought, to one question... How can something that we hold so dear, be so easy to loose? A lot of times we are not worthy of where we are, but God looks at us and gives us life. He gives us the opportunity to live again. It's not because we're too beautiful or so smart, but just because he loves us. It's a privilege to wake up and see another day.  Learn be grateful to God for what you have and for where you are... He kept you through it all. From dust we came, to dust we return... Live a life that pleases the Father. He has kept you through it all not because you were worthy of it, but because he loves you. Lea
