Life matters

Matthew 6:34 [34]So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings. Each day with its troubles, like default. It's like, whether I like it or not, there's going to be trouble every new day.  Worrying is an addition to the troubles of the day. In other words, 'Worry' is trouble on its own, "do not worry about tomorrow" is what God says.  Why will we be asked not to worry though? It's like we're wired to worry. Things are not going the way we understand, so we worry. The 'ups and downs' of life are intense, so we worry. We don't want a poor future, so we worry.  Interestingly, God knows about all these, He knows the concerns we have, He knows the reasons why we think we should worry, but He still says "Don't worry" When your father says "Don't worry", you should know it's because he has a plan and he's working on it already. God i

  Satan replied, “Would Job worship you if he got nothing out of it? You have always protected him and his family and everything he owns. You bless everything he does, and you have given him enough cattle to fill the whole country. But now suppose you take away everything he has — he will curse you to your face!” This was about Job, but how about if say it like this: WILL YOU WORSHIP GOD, IF YOU GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT? There's no way you can get nothing out of worshipping God, because being saved means you've already gotten too much. But what if He doesn't do anything else, would you still love Him? Would you still worship Him? This song says: If you never give me a house on a hill If I never get to drive the latest in technology trails If I never get to travel to exotic places Sing to a crowd of a million faces After all the material things are gone Lord help me to remember what you've already done. If you never I'll still love you If you never do anything As for me

  Grace had no idea the meeting would last this long, but it was indeed necessary. After the rehearsal, it was important that they stayed behind to know where they stood as far as plans for the concert was concerned. They had taxed themselves financially and almost everyone had fulfilled their commitment already, 'Thank God'. Only few were left, she must hurry up and pay hers too because it wouldn't speak well for one of the major planners to be among the defaulters.  She was really broke at this time though, but it's no problem, she would ask her mum as soon as she got home. Mummy should have no issues with giving it to her. She checked her wristwatch, 10:35pm! Christ! it was this late? and the place was quite far from home,  'Oh God, I'm in trouble, Mummy will so scold me today ehn, she pardoned me the other day, how will I convince her that it's not on purpose now🤦🏽‍♀️'   She mumbled as she started packing up her things, she didn't intend to off

 A friend in need, is a friend indeed. That's how the saying goes. Amnon felt a strong pull towards his step-sister, Tamar. He felt like he loved her so much. But should he even feel this way? What to do, What to do?🤔 After so much thought, he decided to confide in his best friend Jonadab. Then Jonadab told him,  "Why are you beating yourself up about this thing, as if you're weak. Is it not Tamar?   "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand." And that was Amnon did,  His father sent Tamar to him, he got her alone in the room and raped her. Jonadab was a friend in need And what did that make him? "A friend indeed!" But not really. Beware of Jonadabs, friends who just always cater to your needs and would not care to tell you if your 'need' was even right.... You

God is so clean, if he was a man, he would be tagged to have OCD. Anyone who has read the book of Leviticus will understand just how much God hates dirt. The more I read through the book, the more grateful it makes me. What humans will consider 'no big deal' these days, was such a big deal in those days. Even things that are not necessarily your fault, like bodily discharge, made a man unclean and thereby unfit for God's presence, in those days. And then He'd have to do some sacrificing, to cleanse him and make him worthy, still only for a while. Until he's unclean again. I want us to realise that, the life most of us live now, is the kind of life that deserved to be burned or stoned in the old testament.  Thank God, there's the New Testament and thank God for Grace. We would never have deserved God's presence, but Grace has made us deserving of more, even LIFE. Let our lives show that we appreciate His Grace. By Grace are we saved, and we stay clinched to G

 "Can you tell me something else?" 🤦🤦 Sometimes life overwhelms you so much, you can't even find words to express it. You don't even want to, you're simply tired. On top of that, the church is offering you the same thing. But, "You can talk to God" doesn't sound like an advice that works. "God cares about you" does not ring true in your ears anymore. Because, how about the times you've called and it didn't seem like He heard? You've prayed and nothing happened? You've praised and things remained the same? But what if I tell you again That God still cares? That God's still there? Will it matter? Because you've heard it before And now all you want to really do is ignore But please don't Praise still works Prayer still works God is not far And sincerely, what are these problems, what are even generational curses before the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous?
