Your Work's Do Not Only Save You

-

Not to scare anyone, but do you know how many Christian's are in hell? Many!!! They went to church like us, were in choirs like us, very active in church and very bold and apologetic about their faith like many of us, but they lacked one thing the most import requirement we need to have to get to heaven, they were not saved, and that's why they lost their salvation. 


Don't get it twisted with my title, yes we need to exercise our faith such as going to church, reading our Bible, going to a Christian union in our educational institute or whatever extra-curriculum we do in our church, we need to be saved, we need to be right with God, we need to have our salvation in order. As James 2:18-20 says "18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have worked.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?"


A pastor once preached to us in my church "If you know you want to give in to these desires of the world, listen to the voice of Satan but, you're active in church why are you using the church as a waiting room to hell?" The last sentence gets to me because this is what I do, I go church, pray, fast but yet I give in to my desires, can be lazy as I have my flaws and so do many Christians, I know this kind of gospel offends many, yes we are not perfect, we are sinners, but we can't live in sin!!!!!!! But if we are not saved, we are not right with God to the point we are not baptised in the water and the spirit, we are far from God, unfortunately, we are not His children as it echoes in John 3:1-12 and if we die we are not saved, I know what I need to do to get right with God, and more time I fall short. And I know this is the same for many Christians, all I can say is if you are using your church as a waiting room to hell, spiritually then we need to get right before God let's not be a statistic of Christians who burn in hell, I may not know the amount but for sure it's a lot we can't join them.

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
