Only God Can Fill Your Void

-

I gave my life to God at 16 and it was then I learnt that is only through God and His Holy Spirit that can fill the void that I had in me for years, I looked to social media, clout, food, validation, sports, fashion and media but it was only until I leaned on God and His spirit that, the void was filled. 

People look to addictions, the pleasures of this world and some sort of solace but these pleasures are temporary and never fulfilling. I don't mean to sound cheesy or corny but trust me only but it's only the Holy Spirit that can get you through tribulations of this life, through your mental health and our depression when we have the 9 fruits of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 talks about we are calm, we are reassured and we are at peace, God can bring the closure that, that therapist can't, I'm not saying don't get professional help from physicians, doctors and health professionals, but sometimes as believers we don't use our faith intelligently and just think God will magic our blessings, faith without works is dead as James 2:20 says, so let's use the resources of this world that we are privy to as they can be used by God to heal & bless you, but these guys & resources are not the be all and end all so we mustn't depend on them fully, we do that with God, God can fill that hole in your soul then, that addiction you've had for years can't, God can give you that validation, that stamp of approval, that we've been looking for from society, family, social media and the world can't. 


Remember the woman in the Bible who had 5 husbands and the man she was seeing was not hers in John 4, Jesus told her that He had the living waters she was looking for, and Jesus didn't mean actual water, the water He meant, was His spirit, the spirit that counsels you, that spirit that gives you confidence and that spirit that gives you peace especially in these troubled times of a pandemic. Last year I laid on my trauma, I confronted everyone who hurt me and apologized to people I hurt, and it was then Jesus gave me that living water He gave to that Samaritan woman who didn't take Jesus serious at first.

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
