Long time, No write (The Christian life and Understanding the Bible)

06/02/2023

How long has it been... Two weeks, three, a month?

I can barely remember the last blog I posted and I don't know whether to cry out or ~~slap~~ myself in the face for not being consistent.

One thing I learnt today though, is that I must forgive myself and push forward.

It's been kind of a dull moment for me but I'm taking my quiet moments in good faith. One thing is certain, the waiting moments are also part of life.

I've been at home since the end of the school year for me and personally, I dislike being idle for too long.

It's not something that sits well with me and that was why I jumped at the chance when I heard of the PBI (Pacesetters Bible Institute) which now that I think about it, is a major point where I've pushed through on my decisions.

Not to complain but this move has been a major one and yes, there have been hindrances even on this first day. I was almost discouraged into not going for the whole thing but I know that by God's grace, this decision will be good for me.

Today, we learnt about Understanding the Bible and I must say that it was quite an interesting time.

I got to search myself again and I guess I wasn't as serious as I started when it came to reading the bible. I had gone so far but when a little distraction came, I flunked it all (not a good thing at all).

Today was all about intentionality. One thing is certain... You must be intentional in all you do. I guess that is also what makes the successful man different from the average man... Intentionality.

The place of prayer being a lifestyle was really probed on.

Truth is that I know that this is a very important part of life as a believer (Christian) but sometimes, I can't help but skip that alarm reminding me to pray mostly because the zeal is not there. Because I don't feel like it... Never rely on your feelings when it comes to the need to pray... Do it because it is your lifestyle as a child of God.

I'm also telling this to myself too.

Something I also learnt from today's lesson was that the word really is our foundation. Without the word, you primarily do not live. You're alive physically, but spiritually dead and that is higher than even the physical death (not to confuse you😅).

There's so much the word can do for you but you don't have to do it alone. You're not alone in this race... The Holy Spirit is with you and there are other Christians who are in this race with you.

I'm in it and I know that I'll overcome by the grace of God.

P.S.: Don't let the ideology of other people define you. You are defined by God's word upon you. Only the word of God (Jesus) can define you.

Being a solo Christian is not good. You need to build yourself and join others in the journey through Christianity. In anything in life actually...

Don't be an island!

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...

Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah... Tap on the image to listen to my current music playlist while reading What do you want to say? What do they want to hear? There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out... I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8) I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today. I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well. “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has pu...

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...
