What Ever Makes You Unhappy Cut It Off

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 devil himself there were many times where the devil would speak in my mind telling me no one loved me, I'll never be anything that I should kill myself. Which all need to rebuked if anyone is getting those thoughts I'm not going to be like many evangelists, pastors and churches who ignorantly play down depression and mental illness and say "just pray" because there's many actions you can and need to take, like I did, for me I spoke to a pastor, a usher I had a strong support system in family and friends, I also made steps in to loving myself so I started going gym, jogging working on my appearance. Also I was doing for my career not forgetting my purpose, what many depressed people lack is purpose and forgets their goal that’s what the devil wants to take from us. Never forget you're purpose, never forget you're unique. I urge Christians, evangelists, pastors to bring awareness about depression and do more sermons on this topic, because many Christians are losing their race due to this illness.

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...
