Series.... "In God's shoes" Part 1

It's been a while right! I know. So back to business......
It's a new week and Monday morning to top it all. Everyone going to work trying to beat the traffic, but we thank God for the success of the previous week

Now. let's think for a minute, If we looked at God in the eyes of Men, that is "If God Was Man"

A story:
There is this friend of yours. You guys do almost everything together, talk together, eat together and so on. In fact it's like anything that's yours also belongs to that friend. That kind of relationship. Then one day, you had an outing and there is this purse you would like to rock for that outing, but you couldn't find it. You looked all around for that purse and then asked your friend. Your friend then said she didn't see it. You were like "okay, maybe i dropped it somewhere, will find it when i get back" and then you took another purse. But mind you, the previous purse matched your outfit perfectly.
Your friend also went for the party but both did not know you were going for the same party.

When you got to the party, you mixed up with people, ate and then you saw your friend. Then you were like "wow, i didn't even know you were coming to the party". Y'all exchanged pleasantries and then you commented on her outfit "you look amazing, your cloth, shoes, your purse......." THE PURSE........

And behold the purse you were looking for was with your friend. You told her that i asked you about the purse but you lied to me. You could have just told me that you wanted to use it and I would have thought about it Blah blah blah

You forgave her and forgot about it. Not too long, she did the same thing again and again and again.
Now the big QUESTION comes........
If you were in her shoes, what would you have done?



Now, this is the same scenario that happens when we lie to God each time and beg for forgiveness daily. But God been God, always merciful forgives us at all times, only when you confess

1 John 1:9 (ESV)  : If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

But we shouldn't take God's mercy for granted! And stop lying.

God bless you!!

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperienced listens and adheres to a

If God had no TIME.....

I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where did time really go.  We all have th

Self Control

Happy Sunday guys!!. Today, I will be writing about what I learnt in church today. I learnt about the fruit of the spirit called Self control. In other bible versions, it can also be called temperance or control over desires. Now, Let's turn into the scriptures Gal 5: 22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,peace,forbearance,kindness,goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV) In our daily lives, we have needs and wants. sometimes we step into a grocery store and even buy things that we really don't need. Sometimes we see them and we are like "I don't need this" or " I didn't plan for it". Other times, we are like "let me buy it, it shouldn't hurt". so we really need self control in our day to day activities. The ability to put your desires under check is self control. One interesting thing about self control is that you need it more in difficult situations. Self cont
