Christian Disciplines

There are so many things that the Word of God mentions for us to practice as Christians. These things include prayer, and going to church or meeting to share testimonies and the Word of God.

There is however a wrong direction that the Church is taking. There is no longer seriousness in these disciplines. People now think of it as "cool" something that we do in order for other people to see. The church now looks like the World. We compete on how we pray, we compete on how we attend church and we compete on all other Christian disciplines. I wonder why? is it because it makes us feel better about ourselves, better than other people?

This behavior causes us to be judgmental and think God is pleased with us. Today I just want to encourage everyone that God is more important that all the other things that we Christian do like Church, Prayer, tithes e.t.c Let us pray for the right reasons, Let us tithe for the right reasons, let us go to church for the right reasons and that is to build a relationship with the Lord Jesus. To grow in our spiritual walk and not to show off or to appear "cool".

Luke 18: 10-14: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

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?

Let it Go

Philippians 3:13-14 "....Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." There are so many people or events that can hurt us, and sometimes we are faced with people who may be cruel to us. Today I advice you to allow yourself to let go. Holding on to hurt only builds bitterness. Bitterness is very crafty, it can sneak into your heart and before you know it you are this person full of hate and anger. We have to be very careful about what we say about those who have hurt us. We need to listen to ourselves speaking. What are we saying and thinking about others, I know sometimes it may be hard to let go of some people but by God's grace we can. It will only benefit us to let go. It is for our own good. We don't want to move around full of bitterness. LET GO CHOMI

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.
