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...

Loving Right and Staying Tight

It’s February, Finally!!   Yeey! And after the intense Part A and B of January we could use some LOVE.     I wrote this post like 5 days ago but I wasn’t particularly sure this was what I want to write on. Anyways, as I was delaying on this matter we had a small ladies random discussion and fellowship with my girls about single-hood, engagements and marriages. That served as   my confirmation that surely the Lord had placed this in my heart for a reason.    Let’s admit, your timeline is full of everyone getting engaged, and it looks like they met yesterday and you have no choice but to like and type (Aaaaw   # goals # Godspeed ), Yes ? . Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them and wish them all the best, but like everyone else we too, long for our turn when the piece of Pie gets over to us.  Can we have a heart to heart? P.s the post is longer than usual ...Mapenzi Overdrive :)

Consider an Oak Tree

 I like to think of myself as a patient yet inpatient person, ( a paradox right?). I am patient towards others yet treat myself with some level of impatience. Self imposed timelines for myself are what  I would consider the yeast to my rising dough.  Something I am unlearning as I grow older. But what stretched this for me is that the older we grow, the more we are inclined to look, feel and be seen to be productive, proactive, securing whatever the bag is. That is why even on social media, it is those that have “results of the day” or what corporate lingo may call “KPI’s” that seem to ammerse a following.  Let’s consider this verse.  Isaiah 61:3  They will be called oaks of righteousness,      a planting of the  Lord      for the display of his splendor. Now let’s consider an  Oak -  “ Oak trees generally take  several decades  to reach maturity, with most species taking around 30-40 yea...
