Thoughts about GOD and My Affair with HIM

..Pain...Suffering..  ..two words no one in their right 'Logical' state of mind would willingly want to associate themselves with. If we could have our way, we as Christians won't want anything to do with it..not one bit. Have you ever heard someone say "Lord, let me suffer for your sake"..Yes, I have..It was Paul..in his letter to the Philippians..and it was said out of Love..not compulsion. "..And this is given to you from God, that not only should you believe in The Messiah, but that you also will suffer for his sake."   -   Philippians  1:29 Pain is Good? Yes, the ability to feel pain is good.. It's part of being human. Pain tells you when something is wrong. eg. An acute pain in your chest will encourage you to visit the hospital and probably get your heart condition checked. A searing from the hot pot in the kitchen will send signals to our brain that we should get our hand/body away from it to avoid being scarred/burnt. This i...

Apologies: I am truly sorry for the hiatus 🙏. Compliments of the season! 😁😁  Don't forget that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Definition of Trust: Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. -Google definition (29/12/2017) Courtesy: The Christian Post I am certain that you may have heard these words as much as you hear greetings/pleasantries.. "Trust God", "Trust His Timing", "It is well" etc. When we have issues and we pray expecting prompt responses/answers, what's our response when we don't see or hear them? While trying to figure out our next line of action, we are met with these same words "Trust God". When the world is crumbling around you and you run to the nearest house of God weeping asking the man of God to intercede for you. Rounds of prayers, fasting, offerings etc. follow and then you are met with the same words "Trust God". The doubts begin to crawl...

Simple. Simple. Simple. When I am told that a task/activity is simple, I automatically believe that it requires little to no effort to perform such a task - which means it is easy..right?  Simple does not always means Easy.  I think it is in our human nature to unconsciously make things complex. I always wondered why the K.I.S.S (Keep It Super Simple) Principle appeared to be a challenge sometimes to many of us..including myself. I used super simple instead of the widely used one..nope, not addressing anyone as Stupid. 😁. I believe this unconscious act to make things complex is an attempt to pat ourselves on the back and appear smart and sophisticated..and most times it just leads to more chaos. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart "- Jeremiah 29:13 The King and his little princess. "Truly I tell you, if anyone does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child , he will never enter it." - Luke 18:...

Dear Lord Jesus, You are Amazingly beautiful. So here, I am .. to share on a verse which I was accustomed to reciting. I use the word recite as that is truly what I was doing..We tend to recite without a deeper understanding of what we are saying. I asked PAPA to revel to me with the help of the holy spirit and truly I say to you, every Verse of the Holy Scripture has a secret hidden within it that we overlook a lot of times. The beauty about this is that the spirit reveals to whoever freely ask of Him. Psalm 23 vs 6 The Sheep basks in the loving embrace of the Good Shepherd.😍 This famous Psalm 23 depicts the Lord as the good Shepherd, written by King David (probably towards the last days of his life) is a prayer of Hope & Thanksgiving. GNB says "I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live".  I read other bible versions as advised in my previous post but this translation...

..which you are bound to fail at anyway. Don't Fight It.. FLEE FROM IT! Yes! That's right! Flee from it!  I wish I had known this truth a while ago. I would have definitely avoided some unhealthy bonds/habits I had to deal with over the years. First of all, what is Temptation? According to Google: First definition uses the keywords "Wrong", "Unwise". Second looks at it more as an act of being lured, seduced etc.. Now these were some misconceptions I had earlier about temptations: I thought the Lord was testing my Faith/Loyalty in Him, so I openly welcomed temptations! *sigh* This was a chance to show that I was over this hurdle (object/person). This was an opportunity to prove to myself that I was a strong woman. I have outgrown this habit hence I can't fall for it again. Every time I welcomed a temptation my way, I lost the battle. EVERY TIME. Regardless of whatever state of grace I was in, once I had it in my head ...

Dear Child, When next you want to question the love I have for you remember the words given to you through apostle Paul - who murdered thousands of my people (This is a gentle reminder of a vessel I used in spreading my gospel of Love, Redemption & Salvation, just in the case you actually think you can make me stop loving you): 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is Patient (I cannot grow tired of you), love is Kind (I am Affectionate and tolerant of your mistakes) It does not envy (I am not discontent with your frail human heart that can be so easily deceived, I do not compare you to your neighbor whom you think is better than you. I love you just as you are), it does not boast , it is not proud (Aha! If I was filled with pride, I'd have wiped out the very existence for you, a human I created ever doubted my existence...remember, I despise the spirit of Pride..it makes you look down on others rather than love them as I desire you do.. being boastful makes others envy you whi...

Like me, I am sure you have heard over and over again that God loves you unconditionally. I sometimes struggle to understand what that truly means. I ask myself many times, How is the Almighty God able to love me even when I cannot love myself.  You see, Once you start struggling to love yourself, You automatically begin to hinder yourself from receiving love.  I guess that is why I question PAPA's love. Moments when I think and chastise myself saying; "How could you have done this? So despicable!" or "oh you young woman, You don't seem to know how to get it right do you?".. Harboring such thoughts, accusing oneself slowing turns a person to depression, self pity and gradually, the person slowly and painfully dies..from within. Our merciful God loathes Self-Pity.  What is Self Pity?  This is the scenario where a person dwells on his sorrows, misfortunes, mistakes etc. Now, it is good to be conscious of the wrongs you have done, this means ...
