Experiencing Jesus

So yesterday, I was thinking and this popped into my head "Is God real?"
Surprising, right?
But you know what made me happy, I didn't need anyone to tell me that He is indeed real, for I KNOW HE IS REAL.
Like, I wasn't cajoled or convinced with words to be sure of His existence, I JUST KNOW. Why?
Because I have EXPERIENCED HIM MYSELF. There is an emphasis on the "myself" because the experience is a personal one. It is a decision that no one can make for you, you just have to decide YOURSELF.

Now, most people believe that God exists because they were born into Christian homes and because their parents explained his existence to them.
However, there is the place of EXPERIENCING God rather than just  HEARING ABOUT him, yeah there is a difference. And the difference between mere hearing about God and getting genuine salvation is from experiencing Christ.

What does it mean to experience Christ? It means to have an evidence of salvation, it means to have been transformed by the renewal of your mind.
Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

What is your salvation story?
How did you experience Christ?
Happy Easter
Thank you for getting pierced, Jesus.

John 19:37  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

A Review on The Movie; THE TRAIN by Mount Zion Production

Image
So, I watched the movie; The Train on Sunday and I was all shades of reactions, from ahhing to wowing. At some points I prayed, laughed, spoke to the person beside me and had deep thoughts within myself. The movie chronicles the real life story of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, and it is a movie indeed for the season. Anybody who truly wants to know the definition of Purpose, must watch it. Anyone who wants to know the meaning of Walking with God, must watch it.  Purpose is not Instagram photos! Purpose is Death! You die to your senses and fleshly desires! Purpose is Crazy Faith! Purpose is giving yourself up! Purpose is being foolish in the eyes of man and seeing through the eyes of God. Watching the movie, I learnt so many lessons and I would love to share some here: 1. The Rocky Christian Journey:  The Christian Journey is not an all smooth or all rosy one. There are road bumps on the road, and it  takes the mercies of God and deep faith to walk it through.

IF HE DID IT BEFORE

I thought I would be broken if I got the news I just got, but funny enough, I am not. I have been thanking God, praising Him for what happened, singing songs to glorify Him. A particular song has been on replay ever since I heard the news "Thank you for being God" by Travis Greene. I cried when I heard but  I am not sad neither am I depressed, I see this as one of those fire I must walk through to be tested in order to come out purified, I see God using this to make me become stronger, I see greater testimonies on the way, I see the situation as God's way of making my future testimony sweeter. I see the story as one that would help me reach out to other people in the future who may be in the same situation. I see God turning the situation for my good; my friend sent a voice note about God working everything for my good. I don't see the failure, I see a stepping stone to success, I see God saying: you are coming out stronger and better. God is indeed good, as I paused

PLEASE OBEY

I remember the night I finally broke the relationship, I cried. I cried so much that I did not want to stop, my eyes were shot red and I almost got an headache. I was bitter, I asked why it couldn't be him, I was angry, I was sorry I had hurt him. I asked God to let it be him but I just could not disobey because I already heard the voice warning me about remaining in the relationship; but I still loved him (I thought). But one day as I thought about him God said something that I would never forget: If you are with him, you would never find your purpose, you would not discover me nor your place in my kingdom, you would be limited and just live ordinarily. There are some company we keep in life that will limit our destiny. It is not that they intentionally want to limit us, but our incompatibility in terms of destiny with them will make us unable to find ourselves when we are with them. Now, when God chooses, He would try to separate us from them to help us discover ourselves in
