Discovery

I tried opening this site days ago but I was not able to and so, I decided to seek the assistance of a friend and that led to the writing of this post. I thought about blogging in September 2016 when I discovered my skills of writing and I did a lot of research concerning blogging.
However, as time passed, I let  go of the idea and simply uploaded my poems on Facebook to be reviewed by friends and any one who cared to comment.

September 2017, I met Teefaith of Teens meet online who introduced me to Debbie Agboye and after series of conversations with her and reading her blog posts, I recalled my idea of wanting to have a blog. There was this particular night we spoke and after our discussions, I had a conversation with another friend which revolved round the activities we engaged in that day. And when he saw one of the articles I wrote, he pointed out that I could own a blog; and telling Debbie that, she encouraged me to open the site immediately. Wow!!! I was scared because I felt I was not prepared and so, I just decided to wait and continue writing before opening the site.

I went for an evening service in church the following day, and during the service, I got an inspiration of the blog's name to be "God chasers". I battled with my heart because I thought the blog would be named by me, I mean it would have my name as its nomenclature, gradually God brought me to the understanding of why it had to be that and I gave in. Accepting the name, I checked if there was another site with the name and there existed one owned by Jeannie and Tommy Tenney. Then I received God seekers and God Cravers. Our God is not an author of confusion, so I patiently waited and when I was trying to open the site, my friend encouraged me to use a neutral name but the Holy Spirit insisted on the name already given.

Let me say this, the Holy Spirit inspired me to open this site about two weeks ago but I felt it was too big a task and so I waited. 
Right now, the confidence I feel is unexplainable and i can't seem to understand it myself. Before I conclude, let me say this, when I conceived the blogging idea in 2016, I only thought of writing about societal issues, nothing relating to God, in fact, I did not see the need to write for Christ. However, my meeting with Debbie shaped my thinking and now I know that if writing to impart lives is God's will for my life, then I would pursue that purpose. 

Jesus is doing this, I am not...

Jesus is turning it...

Jesus turned it...

Let's do exploits for Jesus

Trust

Image
Some situations hit us in life and we wonder whether God is still faithful. We remember His past promises to us but then our present circumstance contradicts those promises and then we start doubting his words. I could imagine Joseph's state of mind after being sold to Portiphar and later being sent to the prison. I can't even imagine how dejected he might have been. However, one thing was constant about Joseph and that was his trust in and faithfulness to God. Even when he could simply enjoy himself with Portiphar's wife, and enjoy luxury at the house through the wife's influence; he rather chose to trust in and fear God. Genesis 39:9  There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Trusting in God is a part of our lifestyle as believers. This is because it is in believing that he is and trusting that he can do all things that we...

How much have you YIELDED?

Image
So many of us ask and desire for more of God, we cry daily and yearn for more of His presence, but then the question is: What have you done with the little you have already in your hands? To what use have you put the measure of God in you to? How much impact have you made with what you already possess in God? Our God is a resourceful God who does not put to waste his resources. If God has given you 2 and expects you to reproduce 4, but then all he sees is a child not putting to use what he has, but rather crying for more. And then God is asking; what have you done with what you already have? Elisha would not have been able to use the power of Elijah effectively if he had not put to use what he possessed before. A man that wants to be great in the kingdom has to be willing to yield to the smallest of things that God has given Him. Rather than crying for more of God, why don't we cry for the grace to YIELD  to what we already have deposited in us. Why don't we cry for more of ...

Having and dealing with certain emotions as believers

Image
Having and dealing with some emotions as a Christian. So, I had a very intelligent and interesting conversation with a friend, about having certain emotions and dealing with them as a Christian. And I would like to share some of the things I gained from the conversation. Let's go... So, we were talking about having certain thoughts, feelings and emotions as believers and how God can help us deal with them.  Having emotions and catching feelings is very normal. Yeah! Infact, like my friend said, if you don't have them, then we should ask you questions. However, what you do with those emotions is what matters . I remember when I was younger, I had a couple of crushes, lol. Maybe not a couple sha, I had quite a number. And looking back now, the truth is, I can't even remember what fascinated me about those people then, not to talk about still being fascinated by them now. So, what then is the use? Now, beyond having a crush, it could occur that you begin to develop...
