Even Jesus Had A Social Life!

-


Many Christian's don't have a social life and I don't know why? I was in this weird space in my faith where I was ALWAYS in church, I missed family birthdays, career opportunities and even got in trouble with family because I wasn't doing my duties at home, as they say you can't do charity outside in the world, if it's not done at home first! This is wrong because we as Christian's need to have a social life we need balance! 


When you look at the Bible, the reason why Jesus's ministry was so effective was that He related to humans, He did what other humans did, such as going out to eat with people, making house visits the first recorded miracle, in the scriptures our Saviour did was in a wedding! Where He turned water into wine, John 1-11. I feel many factors like church leaders expecting you to be in church 24/7, Christians thinking the more we are in church the more spiritual we are or we've become so focused on a works faith-based faith, this is wrong! As I always say in this blog we need balance yes we need to pray, fast go to church or any other fellowship we go to, but we also need to go out and see friends, visit family, go on holiday and focus on our studies if we are in education. How many pastors marriages are wrecked because they neglected their married spouse to solely focus on their ministry? How many young Christians families complain that their son, daughter, niece, nephew, granddaughter or sibling don't do their chores or are behind in their studies because they're always in church? How many Christians don't explore the world because they're being exploited by their church? We need a balance or we'll be mentally drained or end up leaving the church or Christianity I've seen many people leave the faith because they got so tied up in the church and neglected their social life, they spiritually burnt out and left the faith, THIS CANNOT HAPPEN TO US! 


Please I'm begging as the Christian community let's have a social life, this is how we can bring more souls to the kingdom, this is what Jesus did, He used His social life to save others, God can use you to save someone in your football team, God can use you to save a friend you're visiting or God might tell you to evangelise to someone you met a party. I advise Christians to go out, visit close ones, join a sports team or a local club of your interests, yes we should put God first and we want to be zealous I get it, I want this too but God wants us to have a life too, how can we relate or save souls if people see us pharisaic Christians who are always in church and don't do anything else? As Ephesians 3: 1-8 echoes there's a time for everything!

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
