In The Beginning, God

-
The beginning of the bible is "In beginning, God...". Before anything, God was, before creation begun, God was, before the world was formed, God was, before the making of the earth, God was, before the beautification of the heaven and the earth, God was, and even before the earth begun to bear fruits or produce anything, God was. In essence, as you are now in Christ, your beginning should be God. You should be able to trace the beginning of everything you now are, have, or do to God.

 Moreover, you may be nothing now, or you may own nothing, consider it your beginning. Be glad you have God in your beginning, and you can be sure that He would start up His work of creation in you soon. This includes, setting you up, making you fruitful and so on. But most importantly, make sure He is your beginning no matter what.

Since we've gotten that settled, the Holy Spirit is saying at the moment, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters" Gen1:1-2 (NLT). Sure, in the beginning was God, but that didn't prevent the earth from being formless and neither did it stop the darkness from prevailing. You have met Jesus and you have the Spirit of God, but you are still empty, fine! Or you still have nothing to show forth Christ in you, all well and good! Since you are sure you have God as your new beginning, you don't have to be anxious or worried about your problems anymore. Instead, seek God's face and ask Him to speak into your life, because as He spoke in the beginning, so was it, Gen1:1-31. Are you worried that even after you have met Christ and God became your beginning, you are still faced with that problem that you had, or that you are still with that stigma. Let your mind be at rest because God is about to speak, and he he's about to commence His work of creation in your life. Remember He loved you first, and He has a plan for you. So, let your mind be at rest, the Lord has never been late and yours won't be an exception in Jesus name.

 Again, are you very sure God is your beginning? If not, please welcome Jesus into your life today, tell Him to reign in your life, and surrender your beginning to Him. And if He is already your beginning, be glad because the good news is, He is just about to say "Let there be light". May you receive your light in due course in the name of Jesus. SHALOM.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
