We're Not Worthy, but God Chose Us

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😌

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...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me. I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words. Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...
