This is why we don't DO THE WORD!!!

Hello people, I know it's been ages since my last post. Has God not been faithful? We made it to the end of the year 2016. How has this year been for you? 

OK I feel a need to write this post as we begin to round up and say good bye to 2016. Now, I must sound a warning: 

NB: This Post is not for the faint hearted so if you think you can't handle it, please stop right here.


This post is for Christians, especially, Christians that have been born-again for many many years. This is for that Christian that is familiar with the whole Christian shenanigans. 

This post was inspired by a discussion I had with a prayer group I joined. You know the word of God is there year in, year out! We are familiar with many scriptures but how many of us actually obey and live out the word of God? 

As I pondered on why this is the case, it was like I'm being lectured on how we Christians deprive ourselves of a victorious life in all ramifications because we simply do not OBEY the word of God. 

We emotionalize everything, pay tithe - we struggle, don't worry but cast all your cares and burdens unto Jesus - oh no, I can't do that cos you have no idea what I'm going through,  love your neighbour as yourself - we find excuse, forgive - we give a thousand and one reason why we cannot, win souls - it is not possible, love your enemy and pray for those that despitefully use you - Haba, if you don't pray against these enemies they will catch you Abi you don't know there is witch ... and yet we go to church every now and then! They whine us to worship, pray, give and we go back home only for the cycle to repeat itself again. We blame everything on the devil. We dress nice, fast and pray but behind everything is a disobedient heart. 

Why is it so??? How come our fruit is not corresponding to our bible knowledge? There must be something wrong somewhere? 

Few months back, I was privileged to watch and listen to a teaching on  Ezekiel 18 for a better understanding on generational curses. The preacher said a very profound thing that has stuck with me. He said many people profess to be a new creation in Christ but they are not transformed because they don't obey the word. He said Eph 4 and Rom 12 should be a Christian's mantra because there are so many secrets to being free from generational curses there. As a result of our disobedience, we begin to notice unpleasant patterns we saw in our parents/grandparents lives even though we claim to be Christians. 

I've come to realize that the remedy to many things is in the word of God but we people prefer to go to the mountain, fast and pray, look for prophets only for us to go back to our disobedient  lifestyles and wonder why we don't get it! 

So this is a challenge for us all, as we look forward to 2017, let us prepare our minds to actually DO THE WORD!!! 

Remember we cannot do the word without the help of the Holy Spirit. What is your relationship with the Holy Spirit? Are you baptized with the Holy Spirit? Search the bible, pray and ask for the Holy Spirit baptism. Do everything you can; trust me if you DILIGENTLY seek him, you will FIND him. 

““If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.”
JOHN 14:15 AMP

I love you all!

      Hi, welcome to 2017! It's our year of walking with the Lord, a year you seek God like never before. I believe it's a year we need to go back to the very basics of quality time of fellowship with God. It's a year to make every effort to draw close to God no matter what you're going through.   There's just one little advice we need to adhere to; pls keep king Jesus in your boat this year. There might be storm and heavy wind but Jesus will calm it all because these elements obey him. It's a pleasure to have you take time out to visit my blog.  In here, you'll read articles that are thought provoking and life changing if you're humble enough to learn. So remember to follow this blog so that you can be notified of any future posts. So sit back and invest in yourself as you browse through these pages! Enjoy!!!

What is your identity?

Hello there, this question popped up in my head while I was going through life journey. In this life many things define many people, things like money, family name and inheritance, marital status (does your marriage define you?) becoming a parent (does your children define who you are), the colour of your skin and on and on the list goes. The question is if you're stripped of all of these things, would you still have an identity?

Do men really know what they are getting themselves into when they say they want to get married?

Come on people, let's talk! You know while watching Bisi Olatilo show, I saw people dancing and celebrating as a man and a woman were joined together in holy matrimony! People congratulated them, they both danced and you know during the traditional engagement - they told the man to wave bye bye to all the single ladies! I wish that was easy as it looked!!!! Hmmm! You know from my own experience; if you've ever been privileged to do the traditional engagement you'll discover that everything you do there is symbolical of the virtues you need to embrace in marriage! Think about it! So back to the men - have you discovered that most marriage troubles stem from the man?
