"I'm Too Busy To Serve God"

-

 

"He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come." Matthew 22:3

Just to give context to the above verse there was a great feast and the king invited his guests but they all gave excuses and were too busy to come, so he ended up inviting the homeless and the people who were less deemed important in society. How many of us are invited by God to the feast of heaven and salvation but we say or claim we are too "busy" for it? 


Have you ever heard people say they're too busy to pray, go to church or do their devotions? How many times have we made this excuse? We want to conquer careers, families and the latest series on Netflix but what about God? Remember that famous verse?  Why gain the whole world but lose our soul? Mark 8:33-34 I'm not saying this to trigger, judge or insult anyone as life is very demanding with our responsibilities and careers we have. But we HAVE yes I repeat HAVE to have a relationship with God, the same energy we have for our physical life we should have for our spiritual life, as us young people say "Keep the same energy" 


Imagine going to hell because we were too busy for God, too busy chasing money, chasing being a great parent, wife, employee, child or whatever life throws at us, there's a spot in heaven waiting for us but if we are too busy for God and spiritual life, someone deemed less important or someone who "sinned" more than us imagine losing your place to that criminal who gave their lives to God and took the chance we should have taken, not that we are better than the criminal but we know the pain of losing our place in that long que or losing our starting spot in a sports team we play for, if that's painful so imagine the pain of losing our salvation because we were "too busy".

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...
