You Don't Have To Lose Your Identity When You Come To Christ

-
A lot of Christians have an identity crisis when they come to God, before you get offended and start calling me Satan, please read this blog before you get outraged like the Twitter Brigade who want to cancel everyone and anyone. But I can't be cancelled nor can anyone, as grace and favor cancels such **flicks imaginary weave** but that's a topic for another day. And if you do read this blog and think I'm shaking tables please forward this and make a complaint to my bishop.

So when I meant some believers lose their identity, I mean we can become boring, performative and believe we have to change ourselves, i.e stop listening to music, only listening to gospel which is not bad but it can be fanatic because not all mainstream music is satanic, they're in church more and forget other commitments, forcing Christianity on others or the one I hate the most seeing us Christians do always over talking about the Bible and the things of God on our social media's ahhhhh even God rested on the 7th day.

The reason why I say this is because this was me, when I gave my life to God I became a robot and lost myself because my church projected me into being this woke, fanatic Christian who stigmatized everything and would be a snob, well it's not entirely their fault, I'll take accountability in my head I thought if I become this judgmental, attention seeking Pharisee of a Christian that it would bring me to God and I'll be the best Christian I can be. I was always in church not making time for other commitments and neglecting my family which caused a rife in my house, I  also had to tone down my personality so I didn't step on toes, even to the way I dress.

I was enlighten in 2015 and had my own relationship with God, where I discerned for myself not what my church or the pastor says. I know not everything that's not Christian content is demonic I have personality which I love and not the personality of a bored goldfish looking for flakes to eat.

Being a Christian is not reading the Bible and going to church 24/7.  It's not being snobby, it's not following a set rules of a Christian establishment. It's being the best human you can be while fighting the devil and his principalities. When you give your life to God yes you cut of things and people that lead you to sin but you do not over do it like some of God's children do, hence why I feel the older generation failed us as a lot of them and church gave us this false reality that one must tone down who they are so they can be "closer to God". Yes you can go out, you can have interests in sports, music TV & other things, you can be bubbly, funny and outgoing BUT WITH MODERATION these things cannot be our idols or override God.

Remember Jesus had a social life and a big personality, if your church is dictating who you are because of your faith then is that church for you? if  our fellow believers are telling us to dim our light so we ca be Android 18, 19 and 34 from Dragon Ball Z are they Christians we should be around?

Being unique is a blessing and is why God chose you to come to Him, God cannot use fanatical, extremist and performative Christians, hence why the Pharisees were at the bottom of the barrel, no shade.

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
