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...

Hey, God Cravers, how has the year been for you? How are you experiencing the Lord this new year? Late last year, I was in a meeting, and the person ministering talked about how much the Lord is set to do in the new year, we were asked to prepare ourselves for God's outpouring in the new year and be greatly expectant. Oh! I did not know that message was for me until recently. Now, I don't know who this message is meant for but I know someone needs to read this. "Don't let bitterness, anger and hate take roots in your life, you may spend your entire life shaking it off " Scripture says " The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" John 10:10. At times, we may feel cheated, not cared for or rejected, however, that is not a reason for us to hold on to hatred and resentment, it is not a reason to let the devil steal your peace of mind. See, one thi...

Isaiah 9:2  The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. That verse above spells REDEMPTION in simple words, proclaims our Lord precisely and preaches the Love of Christ. Do you ever wonder how wonderful the works of God are in taking us out of sin and giving us Life and a reason to live? Do you flashback often to imagine your former life without Jesus and see how miserable you were? A people that were not worthy to be called, sinners with no repute called out of the darkness and shown great light! The birth of Christ is indeed worth celebrating, is it about the Life he brought, the ransom he paid, the redemption he gave, his peace in our crisis,  his calm in our storm, his light in our darkness, his love in our despair? The Christmas period is here again and Jesus is the reason for this celebration. So many people anticipate Christmas because of the feasts and the new clot...

You want to marry a God fearing and gentle man/lady, you want to marry God's will for your life, you want to marry someone who is close and intimate with God. But then, let me ask; do you possess the qualities you expect in your future spouse? Do you measure up to the standard you laid up for that man/lady? So many people are looking for God's will in their marital life, but the question is, aside marriage, are you living according to the will of God for your life? Do you submit to his will and instructions as they come to you in your private life? You want to marry a spouse who hears expressly from God, do you hear expressly from God? From a letter collection I read, one of the writers said "I know God would not give his darling daughter to a bastard son, and whosoever the Lord gives me would be his very dear son". Now that is recognising and knowing who you are in Christ. That is knowing your worth as a kingdom child, knowing that God has the best plans for you ...

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 ...

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...

Why are you keeping God's commands? Is it because it suits your present circumstance? Why are you serving Jesus? Is it to get healed of that disease? Hope you are planning to make heaven because you love God and not because you are afraid of hell. So many times, we do things out of fear rather than out of love. As believers, at times, we want to avoid sins and as a result, we become sin-conscious. And then, we tend to just want to know what is or is not sin to avoid God's wrath and not because we are committed to pleasing Him. As children of God, whatever we do should be out of our love for God and not out of the fear of his wrath upon the children of disobedience. God's nature is love, and it was as a result of this love that we were given the second chance to be reconciled to him. Jesus Christ is our second chance and, his death at the cross was for us and born out of his love for mankind. Yes, even while we were sinners, while we were unlovely and unlovable, Christ di...
