There's a Difference Between God Understanding and Knowing

-
"God knows" "God Understands" These are excuses many Christians make when they do not do what is expected or required of them in their faith, and it really jars me to the core, if you don't want to do something then say and own up to it, I'm not just talking about your faith but in all aspects of your life, excuses is another way of the devil distracting you and taking you away from the kingdom of God. It's always "God understands" when we miss a sermon on Sunday, when we fall into sin or when we are being corrected. God knows our situation doesn't mean He understands it, for example He knows that you're tired from that long shift you did at work the night before, it doesn't mean He's going to understand that you used that as an excuse not to pray before you go to sleep or go to church the next day. That's where we have messed up as Christians we confused knowing with understanding.

Remember like I said in a blog I wrote a few months back about us having priorities for God, we must have priorities in our spiritual life, we can make time for studies, for family for work and other commitments, then we can make time for our Lord also, remember we need to seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else shall follow as this is echoed in Matthew 6:33. How would you feel if God said he's too "busy" to bless you or to help you in your time of need and He said "You understand"? You would feel rejected so how do you think He feels when you put your job, your life and whatever before Him? Remember we need to prioritise our faith before we prioritise everything else Matthew 6:33 Emphasises this.

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
