The Great Friend And Enemy

-
The internet is the biggest ally and enemy of the Work of God, You can think I'm exaggerating but it is, how many Christians does the devil have in his hands because many are consumed with the internet? I know this because I used to be very addicted to social media. Howe many times was I late or even missed church because I was up late on Twitter the whole night? How many times have I shown a bad testimony on it? How many times a week even everyday do we see Christians making mockery of God and arguing amongst each other because they follow different doctrines? If we are the Children of God, then our light through Christ must be shown even in our accounts.

Don't get me wrong, the internet is a great tool for outreach, you can save many souls and preach the word of God, just with a simple keyboard. It's easier to know God because there's Christian sites, bible apps and Bible Youtube channels. Which has made it accessible to follow Christ. But with every great modern day invention there's a downside. We spend too much time on gossip columns, too much time on social media, we can watch a series in a day not pray. I'm not saying we should be monks or live in the Time Chamber like Mr Po Po and Goku and read our bibles 24/7. There should be a balance as it states in the word there's a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

As I conclude this blog. I want to give some tips on how to use your data, social media apps, internet wisely. One reason why I never took God serious is because I was too consumed in the hype, looking for validation and attention from "FB friends" and followers. When we shouldn't if anything we show God through us, spread the word and souls on our accounts so here's my tips. 1) Unfollow negative people, those who are always promoting sin, blaspheming and have never positive to say even it's family members or people that you know, you will grow in your faith and prevent you being corrupted. 2) No matter what people say, your social media account is a representation of you, how many people have lost jobs and opportunities because of silly posts they made, maybe they made years ago my family always told me this when made reckless posts where even got me kicked out of my churches youth group! Like I said we are the light of this world so lets shun the darkness. 3) Think before you post something, think is it going gain? Does it glorify God? Like I said I've let the world wide web destroy my relationship with God I was even addicted to it and ruin my relationship with close ones. And since I've stopped the wreckless posts and unfollowed negative people I've grown in my walk. I remember my bishop and many of my pastors saying that when they gave their life to God. They lost all passion for things they loved. I thought this was crazy these guys are brainwashed now I'm living what they said. Since I've given my life to  Christ I've lost passion for football which I love, I couldn't care if my team Arsenal win the league, it doesnt bother me Christiano Ronaldo has scored this and that goal, and I want to be a football broadcaster, I've lost passion for Twitter, Youtube all the things I loved. Because God is my first love when you're saved the things of this world become irrelevant. If you're still holding to things of this world that will perish. You won't grow so let go and let God take control.      

Until next time guys, thanks for  reading my blog if you have any queries about my blogs or want to know more about Christianity

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 neme...

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 Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus

The Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ” Matthew 6:33 Disclaimer: What I’m about to talk will be sensitive as talking about spiritual priorities will offend some as it can be a touchy subject; this blog is to educate, help and inspire other Christians to put God first in everything. As someone who didn’t have any spiritual priorities over 3 years ago I have no right to judge or shade anyone, which is not my purpose or aim of this piece. The title must’ve got heads spinning and this is what I intended to do, because like I do, I always point out what wrong goes on in the Christian community and give a solution. We Stan celebrities, and when I mean Stan, if you don’t know the term from the iconic Eminem song, I mean radically idolize celebrities such as Beyonce where her fan base goes to far as insulting people online who don’t like her music, to even take a...
