Deliverance

There is certainly something happening in Christianity especially in Africa. We always hear about deliverance, we see people being delivered. We see people crawling like snakes, we see people saying they are married spiritually (spiritual husbands and wife's). I see this most of the time. As I look at all this miracles and deliverance happening one thing for sure is that the gospel is spreading because the Name of Jesus is used during these deliverance services and stuff. On the other hand It sometimes concerns me. The enemy can also perform miracles, this is seen during the time when Moses went to Egypt to help deliver the Children of Israel. The diviners in Egypt would also perform miracles when God performed miracles through Moses. Though there are true men of God who are used in the area of deliverance we have to be careful of the false/fake Another thing that concerns me is that people now go for this so called deliverance services just for miracles. People get excited

I don't Know

I don't know why it is hard for people to say I don't know. Is it belittle-ling to say "I don't know."? Its not a sin not to know stuff. The problem is when we are not willing to learn. If we know everything there will be no room to learn. If we think we know everything we will not learn because we will always be ready to give our own opinion and in the process miss everything. People tend to move away from people who "think" they know everything. Let us assess our selves today. Do we have an opinion about everything? Do we always want to know the answer? Do we feel irritated and angry when people don't listen to us? On the other hand some people always say they don't know in order to run away from responsibilities. The way we say "I don't know" also matters our motives for saying anything are more important than the words themselves. If we don't know let us not end there, yes! we may not know but let us be open to lear

Jesus as a cover up

Christianity is a good way of life, unfortunately when it is not done right it is very destructive. There are many Christians who are self destructing. Many Christians are hurting inside but they don't want to deal with the pain so they use Jesus or Christianity to cover up their pain. The worse thing is that sometimes Christians like to put up their fake self and not their true self. This becomes a pattern and in the long run we are so deep into our fake self that we believe it is who we are. Sometimes it is very hard to get Christians to admit that they are in emotional pain. There are so many Christians out there who are ashamed of themselves and they way they live. Sometimes because of this we Christians become judgmental and competitive because it feels better to criticize someone or to look better than them. Christianity is not what some people have made it to be. It is not all about looking good on the outside. So many Christians are in pain and suffering, the remedy is

Rejoice in growth

There are so many people that are doing well around us. Let us be happy for them. Many people are becoming Christians and they are advancing in the Kingdom very fast. This is a good thing. The Lord needs harvesters. The Lord needs people who will lead people to be at their best. If you are interested in people doing well and advancing, rejoice when it happens. Rejoice even if you are no the one who helped them. Remember it is not about us. It is about the Kingdom of God. Whatever we do unto others must be what we would like other people to do unto us. Be happy for other people and in turn others will be happy for you when you advance. Let us not be deceived into believing that we are the only ones who know the truth. Let us not be deceived into thinking that our churches are the only ones that are teaching the true word of God. There are so many people out there who are teaching the truth. Christians let us unite, let us remove selfish ambitions from our midst. Otherwise selfish a

Independence Vs Dependence

The world today teaches a lot about independence. People like being independent. It makes them feel secure. Sometimes people don't even want to marry each other in community of property because they want to be independent. Independence and freedom are good but as children of God how do we use our freedom? King David wrote a proverb to Solomon teaching him Proverbs 3:5-8 " Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. " The question is do we want to take the same instructions that David wrote to Solomon? I would advice that we take the advice. Let us use our independence for dependence. Let us be dependent on God for whatever we do. Dependence on God is a good thing. Dependence on God means we are wise. Dependence on God means we acknowledge that
