Approachable? Correctable?

Image
  There's really a level you get to, where you'd no longer get honest corrections/criticisms as freely as you used to. It could be because at that time, you're the leader, the followers are the ones who should learn from you, but whether you'd get those corrections at all or not, is dependent on the energy that you exude.  Are you on an "attack/defensive" stance or on a "you can talk to me" stance. Recently, a group of young adults were telling their leader, who could pass for a father to them, about how they didn't flow with his method of doing a certain thing, they then suggested another way of doing it.  I watched as this leader, simply shut them down and told them that the method would not change and that they'd better got used to it. Of course they shut up, but I couldn't help but wonder why it didn't cross his mind to even find out the issue they had with his own method and try to consider their suggestion.  His stance was defen

"Bring her out and have her burned to death!"  This was Judah's statement after hearing that his daughter-in-law, Tamar, who was a widow, had turned to prostitution and was pregnant. A very astonishing statement, if you asked me.   Till this day, I wonder why he was so quick to pronounce judgement like that? Why had he so quickly forgotten that he was not much different from her? Let me give you guys the back story. Three months earlier, Judah, had gone to Timnah to meet his sheep shearers. There he met a veiled 'harlot', in his mind, he thought he was far from home and like they say, " what happens in Rome, stays in Rome " This was his 'Rome' for now, so throwing caution to the wind, he went in to sleep with this harlot, who unknowingly to him was his widowed daughter-in-law. And because he brought nothing to give her as payment...(of course he was unprepared) She asked him, " What will you give me? " and he replied, " I will send

JESUS ONLY, JESUS EVER

Jesus: Our Only Message They ask, "Why be so exclusive?" They want us to tread softly, in the name of 'peace', they want us to agree that there can be different faiths and different ways to God. When Christ said with certainty, "I am the Way" "the Truth", "the Life", not a way, not a truth. Only through Christ can the true God be accessed.  There's no alternative in this place. There's no soft pedaling, we cannot for the sake of peace, agree that men should be lost. Because that is the fate of anyone who goes outside Christ to access Faith. Jesus Christ is the key. Jesus said, "Ye shall know THE truth, and THE truth shall set you free", after He had said, "I am THE truth", then He said, "if the son sets you free, you shall be free indeed", all attesting to the fact that Christ is THE Way. If it isn't Christ life, it is no life. Romans 1:16-32 While you may be looking for power somewhere, the gospe

See Yourself In The Message

Image
Have you wondered why, nothing really pricks you when you listen to messages? You smile through most messages now, even when others in the gathering are getting convicted. You can't really relate to their heaviness of heart, because the message does not really apply to you..... Well, you can see how it applies to your roommate, or your brother, or your partner, but not to you? Friend, I think you need to check yourself o. Recently, I was listening to a message and to be honest, none of the preacher's examples applied to me, then I realized; "this might be happening to a lot of people". The pastor might truly be mentioning all the examples which do not apply in your case, but at least, you know your case. Stop thinking the message is about your sister, or that boy who sleeps around, or that girl who dresses immorally, or the one who steals.  You nkọ? (What about you ), that you cannot control your speech, your appetite, your sleep. You nkọ, that you get irritated easil

The Supernatural

The devil is real. I shouldn't have to point this out, but I will, until I can get you to see it's not a joke. Years ago, when people were told about the devil, they shook in fright at the evil. But not anymore, instead of fright, you see fascination. Many people are fascinated by the devil in his actions and they don't even realize it.  The entertainment industry has made it look okay. They're busy writing and releasing movies about demons and witches and vampires and werewolfs. Sometimes, a whole movie series is just about satanic activities and it pains so much that fellow Christians watch it without seeing the intention behind it. You shouldn't act like everybody and think it is just for fun, the writer might say it was just fun but you should know better now.  Can't you see that: They've made you think that, there are good witches and bad witches? As you're watching, you're busy rooting for the good witch to win over the bad witch. But guess wha

It's a New Year!

Write a Vision Happy New Year my people.  Indeed the lord is good and merciful as to making us to see the new year, as unworthy as we are.  Sincerely, all I understand of God's mercy is that I'm undeserving of it, asides that, I don't get why He shows me His mercy. But He does, shouldn't I be grateful? I am very grateful, you should be too. That said, usually in a new year, People talk about New Year Resolutions . And many people build a list of resolutions that may not be of deep consequence. I mean, things like 'this year, I want to see more sights, visit more places....' 'I want to eat more fruits this year and complete all my favourite shows....' . While it may not be bad that you want to do those things, is it at least for a greater good? I believe that a man, particularly one who has given himself to Christ, should not create vain lists of resolutions or plans, they should be things that will benefit the kingdom of Christ, or at least that will hel

A Chance that was ignored

How are you doing, Guys? I hope you're doing well. Recently, I've been having conversations with my friends about the pervert things going on in the church, and it has all been so heartbreaking. I feel we should get on this together. Let's talk about STONES. 1Kgs.6.7 - And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built. Why's there so much noise at the building site? Why do I keep hearing the sound of the hammer and the chisel and many iron tools? Shouldn't there be only finished stones at the building site?  I mean, if there's still all these noise at the palace, I wonder what then took place at the quarry? I always joke around with people that "we're all pencils in the hands of the creator." The 'superstory' line. In God's super story, we're stones.  God really wants to use everyone of us, He wants to l
