We Must Have The Spirit Of Job

-
Before you break my neck or you are going to be shocked lol, with what I'm going to say, but God will test us or allow us to go through bad things/times to tests our character. Because it's easy to serve and praise the Lord in happy times but in sad times many where it's very difficult and most give in crawl into a pity of emotions. In the verse above God tested Job and he passed the test with flying colours!!!!! Even when he lost everything his children, his business he even became sick but in midst of all his struggle. He was still firm in his faith and this is how we are meant to be. Crying and being depressed or even being pessimistic is what the devil wants from us, so he can drag us out of the kingdom of heaven. For example I'm pretty sure it was him that was using Job's wife to tempt him to curse God, and Job didn't. Job 2:9-10 spiritually speaking there's many "Job's wife" in our lives there's that friend, colleague or family member telling you to give up or stop believing in God when you shouldn't. Because God has got your back!!! The same God who had Gideon's back, who had Abraham's back and many icons of the Bible.

The partner who left you, that you're crying and depressing about God has better, that job that you lost God has a better one, that exam you failed, God will make you pass the next, etc, etc, etc. As Job was saying in these verses above the Lord will give and He can take away meaning. God will take that good thing and GIVE US A BETTER THING. One example was the case of Abraham when he told him to sacrifice Isaac God tested Abraham like I said He would in the above verse, and if we pass the test we'll get better, so God gave Abraham the ultimate upgrade by making him the father of faith, the father of nations!!! Genesis 17:4 So when we sacrifice and endure in our faith God will upgrade our blessings by much more.

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
