STRIFE

Proverbs 20:3 "It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling."

The book of proverbs is full of wisdom, if you want to grow in wisdom read the book of proverbs. This time Proverbs 20:3 caught my attention. It mentions that it is honorable to cease from strife (Conflict, fight, friction, rivalry). It is very important to avoid strife. Avoiding strife is very helpful to our spiritual growth. Some people like strife, they just want to continuously cause friction and conflict. One thing I have noticed about people like this is that they are rarely peaceful.

The Bible mentions that one who is continually meddling (Intrusive, noisy, officious(bossy)) is a fool. Don't allow yourself to be a fool. Avoid strife, some comments and fights are really not necessary. Allow people to get away with some things now and then. Be accommodating of others. Please don't be known for always fighting people unnecessarily. Don't be known as someone who always pushes people around. Allow God to use you as a person who brings peace. Cease from strife.

One man said people who are always causing strife are not at peace with themselves. When we have strife within ourselves it will be manifested in the way we relate to others. I encourage you to allow God to sort you inside so that you may be free from strife and be honorable. As we surrender to the will of God, the less conflict we will have. Be blessed and remain honorable.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?

New Beginnings (Planting)

Its has been a while since I wrote something on this blog. I am back!! Me and my wife are now in the process of planting a church. I have been running around this calling for a long time and now it is time to get back. Last year I was in the process of registering the Church and I just felt from the Lord not to go ahead with it. The Lord then led me to a church where I served as one of the Pastors. When I felt the Lord wanted me to go back to planting a church after He led me to the church I have been in for the past year I was surprised. I was comfortable at this church. Everything thing is now coming together and I can see clearly what the Lord wants me to do at this particular moment in time. I have learned a lot of lessons on my way to making this decision, some were hard and some not so hard. The Lord can use anyone and anything to mold us. I appreciate all the seasons I have went through until this point. I humbly ask for your prayers as I enter into this new season of my lif...

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.
