That Moment You Are Bogged With Advises From People

-
It's really been a while since I last came here, and I'm as surprised as you are.

Quiet a lot of factors have contributed to my inertness here. One of them is the fact that so many people have given me so many advise as to how to run this blog, and I've been bogged by those advises. Not that I'm complaining, in fact I'm grateful, but then, majority of those advise have made me lose my initial enthusiasm.

I don't know how to make into words how I really feel right now, but I'd try to make you get the picture. What made me start this blog in the first place was because I needed somewhere I could "read" on some of those conventional things that happen after meeting Jesus.

I didn't start with the mindset of lecturing others, or being a high profile preacher, nah!

I really wanted a place where I could discuss topics that bothered me, and also help others who might be going through the same, or learn from those who have passed through the same phase.

Right now, my advisers want me to put up the "perfect blog" for the "perfect people" by the "perfect person", and that exactly has been my challenge, it's the reason why I had decided to take a chill pill.

"Baptism of the Holy Spirit", "How to be anointed", "Miracle ministry", "Speaking in tongues" "Parable of the blogger" e.t.c. And people seriously want me to talk about things like this, huh? I'm really sorry, I don't think I'm willing to do that, "what next after meeting Jesus" is not a church, and neither am I Pastor (or Pastoress).

Some even advised me to copy the writing style of some high profile Preachers, get authorized to use some of their articles, do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that, you are this, you are that, oh please! Could you just spare me those?

So, that has been the issue brethren, and I do hope that by tomorrow I'd get back on track, (I've been doing some talking with God on this matter lately). I really appreciate your concern, your care, and thank you for always coming back here.

However, if you are also facing a challenge like this, my advice: take it to the Lord in prayer. Oops! I didn't just add to that list of advise, did I?

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7

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...
