Affirmations Vs Disney Fairy Tales

-

 


What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Jame 2: 14-17

As Christians we love to read into these toxic-positivity movements, where believers think just thinking and speaking positives things means we'll get blessings as if some of us live in a dream world yes affirmations are real! But what's the point in speaking things into existence as Roman's 4:17 states but not put the work in for it? 

I feel we don't separate what's fairy tale and what's realistic, just because the pastor said you'll be  millionaires doesn't mean you'll be a millionaire tomorrow and win the lotter per say. But if you invest in stocks, shares, businesses, use your faith go to work shops/business conventions maybe you could be one, because you put the work in, yes we must speak things to existence, but we must take actions and use our faith wisely. A lot of Christians have Disney fairy tale faith, some of us feel having affirmations and just praying and God just does magic and abra kadabra your blessings comes out of nowhere. Bar Elijah praying for the fire to come down and affirming that God is real and the god of Baal is not, in 1st Kings Chapter 18 where else did someone do an affirmations in the Bible and their blessings just came just like that? I'll wait. 

To conclude today's blog my good Christian friend warned about me saying the catchphrases "I rather burn in hell" or "I rather sell my soul to Satan" when I don't want to do something yes lol I shouldn't say these things, but in my defence I say these things as banter and shock value as I'm a very dramatic person. In reality I wouldn't do neither of the statements, but my friend was saying I should not say these things and came with this affirmation Disney tale malarky. So my argument was to them if I say "I'll become Spiderman does that mean I will instantly become Peter Parker?" no!!!!!!  Like I stated affirmations, speaking things into existence and praying is only effective IF YOU TAKE ACTIONS!

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
