10 Reasons Why You Should Quit Seculars

-
Yesterday, I made a post on 'the battle with secular music', and really I've received quite a few queries based on it. Someone even asked me how I know the names of secular musicians if I don't listen to them. Well, all I can say is, the Spirit of God in me won't let me agree with secular music. Through the Holy Spirit, I compiled these 10 reasons why seculars aren't a wise choice for you as someone who is seeking to grow in the faith.

1. First and foremost, would Jesus listen to seculars? Or would He encourage you to have them on your mobile devices? The answer is NO.

 2. You are an ambassador of Christ, so do the things that show you are an ambassador and not just an hypocrite, Colossians 3:17.

3. Secular music in no way preach Christ, and if there be anyone that does, check if it is doing so for the principal aim of spreading the gospel, and not just some publicity stunt.

4. Seculars are worldly. We are in the world but not OF the world, John 17:16.

5. Seculars gradually make you configure to this world through their worldly lyrics, when you know that you are on a pilgrim journey here, 1Peter 2:11.
6. Seculars in no way, make you set your heart on the things above, Colossians 3:2.

7. Seculars are based on mere lustful pleasures and fantasies, 2Timothy 2:22.

8. Seculars though make you feel good, they are not the kind of good from God. Its just physical pleasure that yields nothing, Proverbs 21:17, Eccl 7:4b.

9. Seculars don't edify your Spirit in any way, rather, they bring you down the spiritual ladder if you know what I'm saying, 1Peter 2:2.

10. Finally, seculars do not glorify God. If there's even anything we do that doesn't glorify God, I think it's just not worth doing at all, Romans 4:20.

On this note (Colossians 3:16-17), I rest my case on seculars. But if you still don't agree with this, then you need to check the root of the matter with you exactly, because God is not the author of confusion. Is it that you just cannot let go of the pleasures the world is offering you, or you have not really made up your mind to follow Jesus and Him alone?
 Have a blessed week. Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-

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...
