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😌

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
