Life: Secret to Living Part 1


Life: Secret to Living Part 1



            In the eighteen years that I have lived as an individual on the face of the earth this is just one of the most striking innovations I have made ‘God is all’ (...OK, maybe you knew it before now) but take time and read through.
Secret to living is basically God’s undivided truth applied to our daily living. The efficacy of God’s word is powerful. You know the usual saying that the Bible is a user manual; well I’d like to call it the air we breathe- yes.
The world will suffocate without God’s word, it might sound a little far-fetched but yes that’s what it is. You see the whole wisdom that we think we’ve all got packed up inside of us is all from our maker, God. We live in this world but we are not from this world, you and I are born to live a victorious life, we don’t struggle to survive, we are born to win.
Life in itself is a challenge. Every single day we live, a fierce battle is being fought.  Life basically is given to us by God to utilize and He even went as far as giving us a ‘will’.
Have you ever thought about the reason why you are in that particular place where you are now at a time as this? God has placed you in that place for a particular reason. I will bless thee...  and thou shall be a blessing (Gen.12:2)
Personally; I have wondered why things are the way they are in life; the genocide, diseases, prejudice, social class subdivision and a whole lot that made me come to one conclusion: our God has a transcending wisdom that the human mind’s can’t begin to fathom. God is big and I’m sure you and I know that? He is our father- Yes, He is able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, (Hallelujah). But no doubt, having known all these things the children of God still live in fear. I’m absolutely perturbed because this has become a pertinent issue in the present day Christian living.  Return unto me; for I have redeemed thee (Isa.44:22), the world we live in today has consciously decided to be oblivious of the truth, our God isn’t happy.
Eternal life is our entitlement – outside striving to acquire all necessary possessions here on earth, eternal life should be on our minds which is one crucial secret to living. It will be a sad thing that after striving here on earth one should now find himself in eternal damnation, which is not God’s plan for you. This subject is something that is often shoved under the carpet, but the truth is there is another life of glory after here. You can turn things around the way you want to but God’s word won’t change, His words are Yea and Amen. His name shall be called... The mighty God (Is.9:6).
Heaven is so amazing I would not trade that place for anything, when Jesus hung on that cross he was thinking about YOU (for me that’s just the most amazing gift).
 I would be working on the second part of this post, God bless you.

Turning Tables

Turning Tables Have you ever had the opportunity to wait on God? By waiting on Him I mean expecting Him to show up when nobody else believes anymore; it can be very tough I know but I’ve learnt to soak God’s word all in and act on it instead of the worlds. When Jesus said “I will send the comforter (Holy Spirit) to bring to your remembrance all I have taught you” He knew we were going to be in need of God’s word to get by each day… it can be really tough and lonely out here. Turning tables; I just needed a title that will create a picturesque view in all our minds. This happens to be the first article I am writing from school here at the University of Benin ; the Benin kingdom is a city with its own story-plenty of it. I am gradually learning to act like an undergrad and the system is also opening my eyes, University kind of gives you an invisible wing to fly but flying is an option… I have met quite a lot of fresher’s here and the enthusiasm is the same. It is s

THE CHURCH

THE CHURCH     The Church in this context is not where you go to worship on weekdays and Sundays. I trust you’ve been having a purpose-filled week? God’s been faithful & I prayed for you by the way. The thought of the Church today just makes me weep in my heart- I just can’t explain it, but a lot of us, I mean- a lot, have missed the real deal. Paul writing in one of his epistles in Corinthians said; “we ourselves are letters of recommendation to be read by the world… this ‘letter’ is written not with pen and ink… it is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human heart”. You and I make up the Church which means we are the Church. Without you and I there will be no Church, the place we go to worship is only a building; we are God’s temple meaning we carry Jesus in us and everywhere we step in- Jesus also comes on the scene. So, we actually carry God’s presence into the church, hallelujah! Why this topic - “the Church”? I will answer that but let me first

REFLECTION

Have you ever had time to interact with a person inundated in sin? There is just one thing you will find out; which is how myopic (short-sighted) their hearts are… they have no clue what life is like on the sin-free zone. I decided to write this today not because my life is a 100 but because there is a need for everyone pressing for that crown of glory to always keep in mind that heaven is real! Jesus is coming soon! My lovely sister Morenike sent me a broadcast today talking about today’s youth and how we claim to love God but clearly put Him aside to do our ‘stuff’ and pick Him up again when we need Him. Jesus is not an option He is a necessity. You literally need God to get by every day, God is love. His rain falls on both the just and the unjust, His arms are open for you to come in anytime, my friend, I find it hard to picture a life without God; there is absolutely no point living. We talk about heaven and eternity all the time but you know what? Only
