Getting Hold of the Sword of God in Our Lives



 It has been a very interesting time with the Lord, but I am back to share my endeavors.  A lot can happen in a few weeks, or months but Boy! I’m so glad that Jesus is always vouching for us.  I have learnt the importance of reading the word of God. The word of God is the TRUE Sword, actively fighting for us. Interesting how we have fortified things that speak in our lives and often forget what the word of God Says.

You can never get enough of God’s word; it is always refreshing and directing us the TRUTH.  The bible is the only book that reads you as you read it, It’s the Divine Mwakenya (comes through at all times) :) .You shall KNOW the Truth and the TRUTH shall set you free; most of us are bound because we do not believe the Truth (the word of GOD). 

Just as a personal testimony, I never knew what amazing grace was until I was delivered from being a wretch. Now, before you try to guess what sort of mess I was dealing with allow me to say this: All that glitters is not gold. Not everything that comes your way is from heaven, it sure does look like it but it is not IT. The Truth is always clear; when it doesn’t feel right it’s not right. The Holy Spirit is always an inner witness, and he always testifies the TRUTH.

We often miss opportunities because they come dressed in overalls and aprons. The Pharisees couldn’t accept Jesus because they thought “What good thing can come from Nazareth?”  Sometimes it’s not the complex stuff that will get us where we want to be it’s the simple stuff.  It is the 30 minutes you spend with God every day, forgiving and letting go, your time fellow shipping with believers, that’s the real growth.

Do not be caught up wanting to fast for 40 days in Kalahari and you don’t have a clue what John 3:16 says.  It is like trying to drive while you are blind-folded, that is not faith my friend let’s call it foolishness. I have no problem with radical Christians, I just feel like we should be GROUNDED in the Word of God. That way you can answer back to the devil “IT IS WRITTEN “.

Ask anyone who works out at a gym, they didn’t just Muscle UP!  They had to start somewhere, they had to sacrifice some luxuries and indulge in some self discipline. The outside manifestation of the Abs and the well toned body is as a result of some routine exercise.  

 The same applies to us Christians; if you want to shade some carnal / worldly weight … then you have to work out the word of God. You won’t have to say that you have been reading and praying, people will see it. You shall know them by their fruits! It’s cool that we want to be sold out for Jesus but Jesus Loves Fruitful People because that is how the kingdom of God will grow.

Don’t focus on how to do it, focus of Jesus for He will give you the Power, ability and zeal to do it. He knows every weakness but He says that when you are weak he is strong. He is the True VINE! And we draw strength from Him, He is the WORD! (John 1:1).

 Read your Bible, pray every day, And you’ll grow, grow, grow.  Such a sweet Children song but many grown Christians need this to be their Alarm tune and their ring-back tune.   May we find the strength to be constant in God’s word because it is the true essence and blueprint of our existence.
 Shalom

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December.     I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018.   2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! ,   I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them.   I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

This Year is different , Make it Count

Happy 2017 !!! Aren't we all excited that it's a new year?   There is always a fresh aroma in the air every new year and I know that's God's way of saying " Here is a fresh Start!". This year must be different!  So I told myself but let's get into that dialogue of why  I think so.  Only a fool does the same thing over and over and expects the same results...  a wise man's quote.  I agree,  I am victim of expecting the same results while I have been doing nothing different.   4 things I have been learning that I want to share with you.   1.Everything is a heart Issue  Proverbs 4:23 " Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of Life "  that word keep is also Guard on some translations .  Your heart is not a joke.... Show me your heart and I will show you your issues.  I bumped on some Instagram quote that read " Discern your Judas from your Peter... Judas had a bad heart....

God Does not Work For Me -A conversation.

This is not the usual post, in fact, if you are religious, shuuuu! this one is not for you🙋. Disclaimer! This is not the kind of post for self-proclaimed judges! We are keeping it real!  The last couple of months have been interesting. I have interacted with a couple of people that have voiced out this kind of a thing- God does not work for me anymore. From their expressions, I could tell they were coming from a sincere place. The patent reaction I would have opted for was the need to shove down that religious vibe of "Imagine God is real and he has good plans for you, and quote some scriptures". But this time, I decided to just listen in and understand. The truth is, I cannot purport to understand why that is their conclusion but sadly, they live under such a reality. The way we Christians are set up, we have clever ways of dodging issues and saying " Imagine it is well, cast all your anxiety to Jesus'', Yet we cannot produce solutions to cure these h...
