Church Chronicles With Ayo Talks

As some of us saw on Twitter last night, where that girl was saying anal and certain sex positions are a sin and the TL went in to overload, listen I'm about to break it down for you, but let me get to the basis of today's blog we as Christians need to understand we cannot confuse our spiritual views with facts. A fact can be proven for example sex before marriage is sin because the word states it and God made sex for marriage this is a fact, an opinion is a view that cannot most of the time be backed up by spiritual literature, for example I strongly believe that listening to mainstream music that goes against God is wrong, this is my view because there is no evidence that it can be proven on what music we should listen to, people need to be personally convicted on that. When it comes to sexual acts such as anal, oral which are acts that are disregarded as sins that has lead to many debates, in my opinion from doing research and such they are acts that is not advisable as on...

                                        How many times have we prayed for something and we didn't get what we want, but God had something better? Lol its so funny because we always forget how God is set up, there's been many cases like this in the Bible. When Abraham wanted a son so badly he slept with his maid out of desperation and made Ismael but it was Isaac who God wanted to give. Remember the story of Job who lost everything but God gave him double. Or Even Gideon who moaned about the captivity he and his people were in and even questioned God where is he? All these guys had the door closed for them but God opened a better door this is what we do we are so concerned and desperate for God to open that particular door we become frustrated, not knowing God has something better. This was the case for me for the last 6 years there's this company I've always wanted to work for I had an i...

                                 The devil wants our blood!!!! Some Christians sad to say, he doesn't bother with because he knows they're in his hands. Satan wants those that are in the faith or even have the potential to grow far with God. Those who are lukewarm and ignorant to His words are making the devil and his minions clapping their hands at them. Ask yourself this "What Christian am I, one that is making the devil angry or one that is making him smile at me?" Because like the above verse says the devil, if casted out and rebuked comes back with 7 more demons. This is our fight with Satan to be far from the kingdom of hell, denying out flesh, saying no to the the things of this world and not compromising our faith. This is how we fight him, don't be the majority that's conformed to this world but be the minority who serve God with their all and are stamping the kingdom of the devil. Satan's...

                                            What makes me sick to my stomach is this sexist agenda that goes on Christianity that it's only females that's meant to stay pure for marriage, which is wrong because God put this emphasis on EVERYONE!!!!!!!! I've seen many pastors and evangelicals lead many astray and put this emphasis on women, which is wrong where's the emphasis on the men? There's not many that's why there's men and even sadly many male Christians doing as their please because there's lack of guidance. Yes just like in the verse above and many encounters where women were more scrutinized for sleeping around more than men, for that which I don't know why that is, but the Bible also shows the consequences of men that did give in to their flesh which is even more reason why men must stay pure as well as women. Many people have this wrong perception that Christianity ...

We all know that verse in Matthew 5.30, if your right hand causes you to sin, you should cut it off, and I urge every Christian to do that with any sadness or depression you're going through. Yes I know it's easier said than done but with God anything is possible. As I watched the greatly executed documentary, Being Black, Going Crazy on BBC I Player by social media celeb Mr. Exposed. It alarmed me that a certain stat claimed that many Christians go through depression, as a Christian who suffered this 4 years ago due to insecurity, family problems, dropping out of university and my ex making my life a living hell. I can honestly say this burdened my walk with God, I could nerve serve him properly or even missed out on church services. I know many people have diagnosis and many theories that cause depression. But simply I honestly think this is the work of devil, God promises us joy and peace. So if God promises positives that where are the negatives coming from? From the dev...

There's been this music debate in Christianity for a while now, or whether we should/can listen to mainstream music. And with so much points and argument I think on one had you can and the other you can't. I mainly think you can't as the Holy Spirit has advised me and I've even felt guilty listening to secular music. It doesn't make sense as a Christian to listen to music that promotes sin and the things of this world. A Christian listening to this sort of music is like a Muslim eating pork it doesn't make sense. And just because it's not in the Bible doesn't mean its not wrong! Where many believers get it wrong or try to be smart. We all know or even sadly choose to be ignorant that most of theses artists worship or are involved with Satan and his cults. Isn't it not more so to flee from this music? I for one was convicted for the last 8 years to let go of this music as it brought nothing to my life only to be idolizing stars who are poster boys o...

            We live in the end times, where the Christian culture is breeding a lot of  self righteous Pharisee Christians, Christians who live for show, acceptance and validation, they always have the need to show society they're Christian, the need to film themselves praying, filming the sermon at church, worst of all what I notice and I hate that gets me angry is Christians who feel they're betting than others, so they can argue their Christians stance. At the end of the day we as Christians need to be more understanding and open minded to others faiths, yes don't get me wrong some are following wrong doctrines and interpret the word wrong, but that's for us to take them to a corner privately and correct them PRIVATELY, not in a public forum and make them feel less of a human being, which I see a lot as well. As Matthew 18, 15-17 can back me up,. it's easy to judge but then we have to remember we don't know people's journey or background. We need ...

Like I've told you guys before I've been a Christian for 10 years, it will be 11 years next month if I'm correct lol, but I know it was around August to October times 2005 where I decided to go on my walk even though I always claimed I'll serve God when I'm older. I was always thought that being a Christian was going to church on a Sunday and carrying your Bible making the odd prayers or being so active in your church. I was so deceived that I'm with God, but I was far from God even though I proclaimed I was believer. I'll tell you this for free Christianity is not about having 100% attendance and punctuality in your church even though its a good trait and ideal if you want to be close to God, it's not about knowing the Bible from front to cover or knowing how to pray. Even if they are good traits to have, This is religion, they always teach the more you do the more you are of God, which is a big lie! Christianity is not about doing chores its about...

You know that saying "You can't have your cake and eat it." Which means you can't do two things at once,  when it comes to our faith, we cannot juggle our relationship with God. It's either we are on Gods team or defending on Satan's one. You can't have God and the world, you cannot say you are believer but your life shows you follow the devil, you cannot say you want God but go after the things of this world. With God is either we give 100% or there's no point. Many Christians like I did made/make the mistake of thinking it's okay to sin and enjoy the pleasures, but as long as we read our Bibles and go to church on a Sunday that it's okay and cancels out the sin. Like the word says let your yes be yes and your no be no anything in the middle is useless Matthew 5:37. I'm not saying to be perfect I'm saying this even to myself lets give ourselves all to God and 0% to this world and our own will. The devil is out here deceiving many bel...

Contrary to what the media, society and others say I believe the criminals like the terrorists, thieves, rapists and even the pedophiles deserve a second chance. You may gasp and be shocked at what I just said but if someone has been punished for their crime they deserve a 2nd chance. If you read your Bible Jesus and God used many criminals, tax collectors who were robbing the taxes of the civilians and the prostitutes. Tell me who in this world is perfect? Tell me who in this life hasn't sinned or made mistakes? Exactly (waits for it.......) No One!!!! God doesn't care what you're doing now, God doesn't care what you did in your past, if you're willing to change your destiny if you're willing to change your life and be a better person like Jacob, Samuel and Paul did. Then You're forgiven. Just because someone sins differently to you doesn't give you the right to gun them down and look down your nose at people. We are all sinners and we have inheri...

What saddens me is that, a lot of pastors and especially Christians don't care of the police brutality that's been goes on,  I keep hearing "just pray about it." this attitude of  "just pray" is what hold back Christianity and gives Christians false hope that if we just pray, and fold our arms that police will just magically stop killing us, that we will get our blessings, WRONG, there's not many cases in the Bible where the heroes of faith just prayed and got what they wanted. Most people took action as the word says faith and no works is dead, James 2: 20. Am I saying as Christians to be anti white people and cause riots like what happened 5 years ago, or the stupid events that happened in Hyde Park yesterday? No I'm saying as Christians this is where we take our stand whether your black or not, that we fight, we fight the principalities that are behind this police brutality because I'm sure that the devil is at the root of this, as this his...

Many Christians live depressing  lives and many sad to say will go to hell, because some of us lack one thing, and that is obedience. We serve God how we want, we sin and think we'll get away with it and worst of all we will justify it. How can God glorify the ignorant, the proud and those who want to live their life how they want? Why is Abraham the father of faith? Why did Job loose everything and gain everything 10 fold back? Because they obeyed. When we obey we see the fullness of God. Because God blesses His children those who obey and lay down their life for Him. The Bible says don't kill, don't fornicate but how many people have messed up their lives and are still reeling the aftermath of these sins? As Christians let's be obedient and profitable servants or we are serving God in vein it's His will or our will, it can't be both ways we cannot have our cake and eat it if you know what I mean. It's all good going to church, doing outreach singing in t...

Lies are sin, but its a bad habit us Christians make, yes it's something we can't help doing, if we want to avoid trouble, sparing someones feeling or to not look embarrassed. But the guilt will always linger on like a bad smell. I for one know this as I'm in situation where it will have a big effect  on my life. my future and wellbeing all because of a lie I told to save myself last week. I have to tell the truth even though there will be disastrous consequences, I rather have my conscience clean, now I can feel free, for the last few days I haven't been able to pray or seek God because I was living in a lie. If we continue to lie, we will become far away from God, I know this because I can tell you this I've experienced. Being honest, living legit and doing things the right way leaves no room for sin, or the devil to attack us, one of the main characteristics of being a Christian is being sincere, how do we expect to receive the blessings of God if we are not be...

I had a conversation with a friend of mine telling her, that I want to be used by God, but then I did what most Christians do, make excuses why I can't serve Him. But she reminded me that God can use anyone for His ministry. Think about it he used Moses who had a stutter to lead the people out of Egypt, imagine someone who can't speak people to lead people to victory. God used Gideon who was the least considered in his area/family and he also used Paul who once was out there killing Christians. God doesn't want smart, rich and those society consider the first, but those who society don't care about, how many people that are pastors and doing the work of God were criminals, the least of the least and those that were just left to the side? But God is using them to do great things, GOD IS CALLING YOU! It doesn't matter what you don't have, all that matters is that you're humble, hungry and ready to be used by God. Stop worrying HOW God will use you and think ...

We all know that saying "Lost in the sauce" by rapper Gucci Mane where he stated that in life many people are lost and don't know where they're going. This is the case for many Christians who don't get the above verse, God should be our MAIN priority, our salvation should be our main goal, but how many Christians are putting their careers, family, education, social media and the things of this world before their faith? Its doesn’t make sense that we have a wealthy bank account, degree, a loving family etc, etc, etc yet we became far from God and unfortunately go to hell. How many Christians do we know have left the faith, or stopped going to church because they were busy working or chasing their dreams? How many people are in hell because they were busy pursuing other things then the kingdom of God? Remember we must follow God FIRST and everything else will add on Matthew 6:33. I'm not saying we shouldn't work study nor do our responsibilities but ...

                                       The Bible does't lie, it always tell the future, it always relates to modern times, many Christians lack the most important ingredient in being a Christian. We lack love and we do not act like Christ. The definition of a Christian is to be LIKE Christ, not to be us, because man fail, our flesh fail, notice Jesus didn't go by feelings, Jesus didn't take things personal even when He was persecuted and violated, but with us every little thing we want to take personal and get offended. I can imagine Jesus's ministry he spent most of the time, blessing people, helping people He put his time and own needs to the side and helped people where He could've been doing other things, His legacy, His life was spent giving to others and making massive mark in people's lives, shouldn't we be doing the same? Many Christians lack this when we are asked for help we ma...

                                        4  They pile heavy burdens on people’s shoulders and won’t lift a finger to help.  5  Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels [ a ]  for everyone to see.  6  They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the meeting places.  7  And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers. Matthew 23 4-7  I was on social media yesterday and I saw a quote when a young man said we live in a generation where we record things a lot with little achievement. Meaning It's like we want praise when we do the basic things, like being a loyal partner, being a good parent and most of all a good Christian. Many of us have...

13  “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14  I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15  My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17  Sanctify them by [ d ] the truth; your word is truth. 18  As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19  For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.   As you read John chapter 17, you realize Jesus praying for the world, and praying that even though we live in the planet we are not like everyone else, we are Christians that must stand out, not blend in with the world. And listening to the music of this world can actually harm your spiritual life.  Through ou...

As you can see from the verse up top we must pursue God and draw up our sword (courage/determination) and serve Him to the best we can. But that's more and more harder in this day and age with our flesh become stronger, gadgets, social media and are hectic lives in the way. Even more so when we come to church, here are my top disturbances in church and how to keep focused when you're in house of the Lord. 1. Coming Late For me I feel as if I've murdered someone when I've come late to church the conviction I get, which is a very bad habit in our walk, it shows God there's no effort in our walk yes things happen, but I'm talking about those who come on purpose and do it constantly, coming late distracts other members as they see to wonder who came in late, it's even more annoying where the person who comes late, does a fashion walk to the nearest seat at the front which again throws everyone's attention off. To avoid this if you're coming late ...

We all know that feeling of rejection too well, that company that said they won't hire you, being friendzoned or the sports coach telling you, you never got into the team and all sorts of rejection. That is a walk of life that we have to endure, which should motivate us Christians to strive and do better, but to die and for the Lord to reject you, that will be the worst ever!!!!!!!!!!!! As it says in the above verse many people will debate and claim they went to church, they read the bible they did A to B in their church. But that is not enough, we have to have a relationship with God, we have to born of water and the Spirit of God, we have to be consistent in our walk, that's what defines our faith. Many (Christians) are "Lost in the sauce" as they say, yes some of us go to church and do their Christians deeds but are far from the faith, many are in the world then in church, that's why very few will be saved, and left behind when He comes back. "This is ju...

Why's it that as Christians some or even most of us, we love to quarrel? We quarrel with love ones, we quarrel with each others faiths, we are always fighting someone when we are taught to love, even though they are the opposition we have to love our neighbors as we love ourselves Mark 12:31 . Having said that like I always emphasize our issue is with Satan and his army not close ones, that annoying colleague or who ever opposes us in this life. It's a spiritual war we are fighting not a physical ones so lets stop beefing and lets violate the devil as he is the one troubling you. Sometimes it's not even the person opposing you its Satan using them to get to you.(A trick that normally gets many Christians me in included.) One thing I noticed is that I take things personal and I'm very argumentative (well used to be lol.) How does that look on my testimony if I'm known for having enemies? That's why these days I pray or try to defuse the situation because we nee...

Yesterday as my eyes were scrolling through 5 Demand and I came across a Whitney Houston documentary. As I watched one of most powerful female vocalist go from riches to rags it makes me ponder why many successful people are not happy? They're not happy because their is a void and God is not first that’s why they do silly and crazy things to fill it but they only get short fixes that ends up costing their careers or lives, we do not follow Matthew 6:3 the whole catalyst of being a Christian. We're too focused on studies, that partner, that job, what celebrity is doing the most and what not, that’s why we are not putting God first. What's the first thing we do in the morning, praying or checking what errands we have to do or our phone notifications? Do we separate our tithes? Or are we sacrificing our will and life to serve Him? Yes we should have a life but if God is not at the center or first how do expect to be successful and blessed? Trust me, when you put God firs...

25  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26  “What is written in the Law?”  he replied.  “How do you read it?” 27  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ [ a ] ;  and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ [ b ] ” 28  “You have answered correctly,”  Jesus replied.  “Do this and you will live.” 29  But he wanted to justify himself,  so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” 30  In reply Jesus said:  “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.   31  A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.   32  So too, a Levite, when he came to the ...
