A Warning to Our Future Kids

-
"The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation." Genesis 7:1  
There's something I learnt today that really got me, and it's something that the pastor was preaching and that verse. Is that whether our family have the same faith/religion as us or not, is that our testimony will speak volumes. Our relationship whether good or bad with Christ can save our families or take them to hell. Because Noah was obedient and the only one living right before God in his community, he saved his family as God spared him and his loved ones from the flood. But the mistake I've witnessed and I see in this society is that many parents of Christian and other faiths force their faith/religion on their kids that eventually put them of that faith, or lead them astray. 
"What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:9 
Our parents who lecture us to go to church, read the bible etc, mean well don't get me wrong. But forcing our children won't work we all know that, if we force someone to do something they won't do it or they will do it (whatever we're asking them) half heartedly. How many young people are put off from coming to church and giving their life to Christ, because religion and God is shoved down their throats?? How many people like myself would only go to church so our mums would get off our backs?? This was the case with me before I gave my life to God I never wanted to go to church because my mum was always on my case to go, to take part in the church youth group, she force it on me she would go as far as making me watch God's Channel (Some of those sermons I won't comment on lol) and while the preacher was preaching, she would make sly digs lol. I laugh about it now because it was an argument that we had that made me start going to church, and then me becoming Christian. But she meant well I thought she was just moaning at me to go church, not knowing before I was born she made a vow to God if she had a son, he would serve on his altar like Samuel from the Bible did. And what is my fate lol? Me giving my life to God and preaching to people through this blog, my tweets and a by having future Youtube channel. A piece of advice to parents and future parents never force religion or your faith on your children, teach them, advise them, but never force and even if they don't listen or want to follow your faith, pray and fight for them to come round. With young people and children it takes time for them to come around but through your good woks, testimony and prayer, by the power of Christ they'll come round.

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
