When you put on something (like a cloth), it is what people see. So if your actions and lifestyle shows Christ then you have put on Christ.

It is very important to recall that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks Matt 12:34.
Hence, we should ensure that we fill our thoughts with Christ (set our hearts on things above Col 3:2) and automatically what we do or say will show Christ.

Yesterday, I was going to post a deregative comment relating to someone in politics. As I was planning how to construct my speech, this Scripture came to mind.

๐™ถ๐š˜๐š: "๐šƒ๐š’๐š๐šž๐šœ ๐Ÿน:๐Ÿธ"

๐™ผ๐šŽ: "๐š‹๐šž๐š ๐™ถ๐š˜๐š ๐š’๐šœ๐š—'๐š ๐š’๐š ๐š๐š›๐šž๐šŽ?, ๐™ธ'๐š– ๐š“๐šž๐šœ๐š ๐š–๐šŠ๐š”๐š’๐š—๐š ๐š™๐š•๐šŠ๐š’๐š— ๐š ๐š‘๐šŠ๐š ๐š ๐šŠ๐šœ ๐š๐š˜๐š—๐šŽ"

I remember when I first read the Scripture, it made me conscious of what I said. I was being cautioned on all the times I had jokingly, in annoyance or in the heat of the gist aired the dirty laundry of people around me. Times I've said things true or exaggerated that painted another person bad.

But, at that point I never thought of how far that Scripture actually went.

โ“Wasn't He just talking about friends and family?
โ“Did He also mean does who "deserve" it?

I don't know about you but this is going to be something I would need God's help. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Happy Thursday ๐Ÿ˜„

Have you ever been in those situations where you are trying to show people the light of Christ and they aren't getting it? It seems like the more you talk the more the have a negating remark or worse still, they agree but won't accept. I know it can be very frustrating๐Ÿ˜ซ. Eventually, we sometimes come up with "strategies" to win them over or just give up. ๐Ÿ˜–

GOOD MORNING !!!!๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿฅณ

I'm excited!! Are you?

This morning I just want to share my joy:

WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP
WE
ARE
GOD'S
MASTERPIECE
๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

I am created for good works. My purpose is good, Godโ€™s definition of good.
Ephesians 2: ๐Ÿ”Ÿ

Not just that but:
๐Ÿ’ŽMy inner man is strengthened by His Spirit.
๐Ÿ’ŽChrist dwells in my heart, making me rooted in His love and comprehend its extent.
๐Ÿ’ŽI am filled with God (definitely my favourite)

I wish I could show you how I imagined this. But this is AWESOME!!!!

It isn't over yet.
All this the Father does by "His riches glory" which makes it occur.

exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us

Ephesians 3:14-20

Hallelujah!!!!!!!

Share this joy ๐Ÿ˜„ today!!!!!

03/08/2022

Its WED-nesday, I think what I learnt today came at a perfect time.

Someone asked recently, whether they would be tribalism and racism in heaven, like would we say "Ah this is my Edo brother, welcome"? Would we be able to identify people based on tribe and race?

Ephesians 2: 11-22, makes it clear that Christ through His blood broke down the divisions.

In my Journey through the Scriptures, I have discovered one amazing thing God longs for us to be ONE. Just like the Father, Son and Spirit are one.

So, it's God and the Church.
Two wonderful entities, made up of various parts. A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

So, if one of Christ's objectives was that we all could be one in Him. Why are we still dividedโ“

Don't be too quick to say I am not like thatโ—๏ธTake time to think. ๐Ÿค”
Yours may not be tribe. It could be race, affluence, knowledge, class, location, denomination, appearance, culture, level of spirituality, school you graduated from and soo much more.

Ask yourself, am I okay with certain people worshipping God with me, eating with my family, marrying into my family, or do I still see people based on their outward appearance forgetting how Christ sees themโ“

I ain't talking about believer and unbeliever relationship. I am addressing we believers.

The world should only has one division: Follower of Christ or not. Even this, God does not want to exist, so why are we like this.๐Ÿ˜ญ

So, take time to pray yourself and the Church today. Pray for Unity ๐Ÿค
Remembering Ephesians 2:19-22 (MSG)

Happy New Month Happy ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Let me share something I learnt yesterday from the book 'Good Morning Holy Spirit' by Benny Hinn.

Have you read this book?
How was it?
What are you currently reading?
Feel free to share below.

It's Evening and you are probably rounding up your day

So let me leave this here to ponder on before bed

Galatians 5

The ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐Ÿ“švs ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž โค

Even from the emoji's you know which is better ๐Ÿ˜. Or do you ๐Ÿ˜

Both are equally important but can only be achieved 1โƒฃ way.
It's simple.

God made us ๐Ÿ†“, He gave us His life
Now we live because of Him.
All you have to do is continue to walk in Him ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€

Still confusing๐Ÿ˜ฃ
Okay let me make it simpler

Have you ever adored someone soo much that you see yourself becoming like the person.
Or have you've seen a little child ๐Ÿ‘ถ who just does everything his dad ๐Ÿ‘จ does.
You see those videos of those little kids trying to help their parents clean because they see their parents clean.

Tอขhอขaอขtอข iอขsอข wอขaอขlอขkอขiอขnอขgอข iอขnอข tอขhอขeอข Sอขpอขiอขrอขiอขtอข.
Well not exactly, it's a whole lot less disastrous. None of us would accidentally wash a laptop instead of a plate ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Let me use a better example

A child whose dad is a chef ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ naturally sees himself going to the kitchen and joining his dad to bake some goodies. ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ”. The food comes out awesome because His dad helps and the child comes to join willingly in the first place just out of pure adoration of the dad's craft. ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž
Fast forward to when He is a teenager and his hormones for some reasons tells him to have issue with his dad. That baking he once loved becomes a chore and sometimes it comes out tasting like ๐Ÿฅด ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ

โœ…Love makes you do stuff whether you want to do it, know how to, or even have that ability. It let's you walk in the Spirit i.e be like God and hence fulfil the law

โŒWhereas, the law, makes you try to do it, out of anger or fear, and the worst part you are not really able to fulfil it.

So in summary, focus on Loving God, and the Law will follow. You would thus fulfill His instruction in Galatians 5:25

๐Ÿ…ƒ๐Ÿ„ท๐Ÿ„ด ๐Ÿ…‚๐Ÿ„ฟ๐Ÿ„ธ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ„ธ๐Ÿ…ƒ ๐Ÿ„ท๐Ÿ„ฐ๐Ÿ…‚ ๐Ÿ„ถ๐Ÿ„ธ๐Ÿ……๐Ÿ„ด๐Ÿ„ฝ ๐Ÿ…„๐Ÿ…‚ ๐Ÿ„ป๐Ÿ„ธ๐Ÿ„ต๐Ÿ„ด; ๐Ÿ„ท๐Ÿ„ด ๐Ÿ„ผ๐Ÿ…„๐Ÿ…‚๐Ÿ…ƒ ๐Ÿ„ฐ๐Ÿ„ป๐Ÿ…‚๐Ÿ„พ ๐Ÿ„ฒ๐Ÿ„พ๐Ÿ„ฝ๐Ÿ…ƒ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ„พ๐Ÿ„ป ๐Ÿ„พ๐Ÿ…„๐Ÿ… ๐Ÿ„ป๐Ÿ„ธ๐Ÿ……๐Ÿ„ด๐Ÿ…‚.

Bonjour!

Hope your day started out joyful ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜„

Let's talk a bit about Law. โš–

The entire book of Galatians is basically Paul lamenting about the Galatians deliberation on whether or not to following the Law.

You will wonder what is so wrong in wanting to follow th law. ๐Ÿค”
What's so wrong in resting on Sunday ๐Ÿฅฑ or pasting scriptures in your house or blessing God after you eat ๐Ÿฅ™or giving a certain amount of your income to the poor ๐Ÿ’ฒ or dressing modestly especially when fasting or closing my eyes and kneeling to pray ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ or in the case of Galatians circumcision?

Well, I have come to tell you there is absolutely nothing wrong! ๐Ÿ˜•

So why the book of Galatians ๐Ÿคจ

Well, the thing is Paul's issue wasn't that they wanted to be circumcised, I mean He himself circumcised Timothy (Acts 16)
His issue was WHY THEY WANTED to be circumcised ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

1โƒฃ
Many times we are so focused on getting "points".
We are workers โœ…
we fast โœ…
We pray โœ…
We attend every service even mid-week services. โœ…โœ…

The issue isn't what we are doing but why. It's like we are keeping tally ๐Ÿ“.

Our relationship with God has now become
"I did this, I am this, so you have to do this."

Instead of
"Lord, I trust in your ability and love that you will give me this"

It isn't that bringing out your strong points is bad, David and Hezekiah did it. However, they did the actions out of love โค not thinking of when they can use it.

2โƒฃ
Some of us we aren't even doing good because we want to earn something but because we don't feel clean ๐Ÿ–ค so we think our good deeds will fix it ๐Ÿค

Paul was crying out to the Galatians.

"STOP TRYING TO EARN YOUR SALVATION!!!!" ๐Ÿ—ฃ

God saved you without your effort, He is able to keep you to end without it all He requires is that you trust Him to do so. Galatians 2:20 - 3:25

All a seed needs to grow, is to remain in the soil and trust the farmer to all all necessary to make it grow.

So take out time to think
Are my actions out of FAITH
or is FEAR?

The reality of salvation hit me different. I didn't know when tears formed in my eyes ๐Ÿฅน. I must share it with all.

Verse 3 - 6
Paul says if anyone doesn't belive the Gospel, its because they are veiled by the god of this age. They are heading in the direction of destruction and the light that saves they can't see because some 'god' won't let God's light blot out the darkness.

I thought to myself
โ‰why me?
โ‰How did God's light shine through me?
โ‰What did I do different from those who don't belive?
โ‰Why did I get to experience the light that reveals the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ?

No matter how much I think. ๐Ÿค”

I did nothing!

I mean Paul annd Cornelius could say at least they were zealous and God turned their energy to the right thing.

But I did nothing. Infact if its based on my action I have defiled Gods temple, hurt others, demeaned His capability and yet.

He let me into His family. ๐Ÿคญ

I AM GRATEFUL๐Ÿ™

I don't know about you but this gift of salvation I ain't letting go of it.

๐Ÿ™ŒI pray for all those the god of this age is holding bound that the grace (undeserved help) that I experience may you experience it to.

๐Ÿ”ŠTo those who have been blessed like me. Its our job to do all we can no matter the cost, just like Paul described in the rest of the chapter, to ensure that all we can humanly do to let them see the God's light. We do.

AS LONG AS YOU BELEIVE, SPEAK!!

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

So I finished my Romans journey. It was beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ

In Corinthians now. I would love to share something with you

Spiritual wisdom
1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Paul explains that the wisdom he shares is not what is known as wisdom. In fact it wasnโ€™t even obvious till the Holy Spirit revealed it.๐Ÿ”Ž

How it works ๐Ÿ”ฌ:

1. God has the wisdom
2. Spirit is in God (in on the mystery ๐Ÿค) so He knows it
3. Christ comes
4. We believe in Christ
5. The Spirit comes in us
6. We know what God knows

Mystery revealed ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ”“
Wisdom gained ๐ŸŽ–

Now it gets interesting๐Ÿค 

Natural wisdom
- Comes from without. Taught with words

Spiritual wisdom
- Comes from within. A nudging, a knowing

And now the upper hand ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Believers have both natural and spiritual wisdom. So I can RIGHTLY DISCERN AND EXAMINE circumstances.

๐Ÿ’ซI can tell that what seems like a simple gift from someone is actually meant for harm.
๐Ÿ’ซI can tell that the person who gave all he has is going to be rich.
I know which is really which

On the other hand ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ

A natural man canโ€™t do this.
He isnโ€™t as wise as He thinks. He canโ€™t discern because He doesnโ€™t have the Holy Spirit. If by some weird way he gets the information, he will just call it foolish.

And just like that! We are wiser๐Ÿ‘‘

Lesson:

Stop listening to the world without
Focus on the Spirit within
You will never get it wrong

๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Ž
See how much God loves you!!!!

Holla!
Yes ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ, itโ€™s me again

Back with more of my Book of Romans Experience!โœ๐Ÿฝ

Todayโ€™s nugget is quite long ๐Ÿคญbut it would be nice to follow.
Or you can just read the words in bold and the summary ๐Ÿ˜’

Question: โ“
How do I stop sinning. Especially now that I know itโ€™s wrong, now that I want to please God?
Romans 7:13-24

Answer:
Simple! WALK IN THE SPIRIT
Romans 7:25-8:13

Yes I know you have heard this a thousand times but what does it actually mean.๐Ÿค”

Firstly the why!
Because thatโ€™s the only way you can put to death the flesh Rom 8:13

Now how!
1. Be Spiritually minded. Itโ€™s that simple. Set your mind on things that concerns Christ.
Voila! โœŒ๐Ÿฝ

Paul was so happy in Rom 7:25-8:1
Thank you Jesus because of your solution - set your mind on him YES even when your flesh is still doing wrong.
Glory to God because now the law canโ€™t condemn me I.e cant sentence me to death.

Hold on! Hold on! โœ‹๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ›‘
I know I got confused to. Is Paul itโ€™s cool to keep sinning as long as I set my mind on Christ?
No, no thatโ€™s not it.
KEEP READING ๐Ÿ“–

Romans 8:2-13 explains why there is no condemnation.

THE MORE YOU SET YOUR MIND ON THE SPIRIT (the more you walk in the Spirit) THE FLESH DIES!!! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Itโ€™s a simple antidote donโ€™t focus on sin focus on me. Whatever you channel your attendance to you become life

Awesome
But wait, one more thing ๐Ÿ˜‡

2. The Spirit of God HAS to dwell in you. Rom 8:9-11.
Because it is the Spirit that gives the freedom and life. So walking in the Spirit can only work if I HAVE THE SPIRIT.

Donโ€™t get worried it is even easier than the first, in my opinion

All you have to do is Believe in and Accept the Spirit

Cโ€™est fini๐Ÿซก

So in Summary

You wanna kill that annoying sinful flesh, then Get the Spirit of God in you and then set your mind on the Spirit.

Till next time
Jesus loves you.

Good morning once again โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‰

I am here to tell you that

AS LONG AS THERE IS SIN THERE IS GRACE!
Romans 5:20

Donโ€™t let the devil deceive you that what you have done is too bad or the addiction you are canโ€™t be broken out off.

Those are lies!

There is grace!

There is a way out!

God has provide a way out at no cost at all.

Accept His Saving Grace

Good morning !

I would love to share ๐Ÿ—ฃsomething I learnt a while back.

I was reading the book of Romans again (I think it just might be my favorite ๐Ÿคฉ book ๐Ÿ“– )

Alright, so Paul has been talking about how everything with God is now about faith and not works and I wsa like โ€œyeah I know thisโ€. How does it apply to me now ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคจ

And then it hit me ๐Ÿ”จHoly Spirit revealed ๐ŸŽ‰

EVERYTHING WITH GOD IS ABOUT FAITH NOT WORKS

So my fasting, long prayers, study, evangelism, fellowship. It isnโ€™t to move God.

It is for me. TO BUILD MY FAITH

and it is that faith that God needs from me

So itโ€™s not my long prayer that gives me the ability to heal the sick. NO
It just builds my faith.

And it is THAT FAITH THAT GOD NEEDS TO USE ME TO RAISE THE DEAD

I am yearning for intimacy with God because I get to know Him more and hence build my trust in Him and Hence build FAITH

๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ•บ

So my question isโ€ฆ.
What is your faith level?

28/07/2022

Sent this to friends a while back. Felt I should share here.

Galatians 1

Often times we (me and probably you) are in this state of anxiousness.

Fill free to complete the sentence as it fits you.
โ€œGod you said thatโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€, โ€œthere is this prophecy on my lifeโ€ฆ..โ€, โ€œI had this dreamโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€, โ€œyour word says thatโ€ฆ..โ€, โ€œyou promisedโ€ฆ..โ€ โ€œisnโ€™t it your will thatโ€ฆ..โ€

However, the truth is if itโ€™s HIS WILL, it WILL HAPPEN.

Galatians starts with reminding us that salvation is Godโ€™s will and it came to pass. Hallelujah ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Godโ€™s will was for Paul to preach to gentiles and when it pleased Him, it came to pass.

Imagine if Paulโ€™s mother had a visitation from an angel telling her who Paul was to be. Wonโ€™t she have lost all hope as her son was fulfilling everything but that?
Yet, at the right time, his story changed.

As if thatโ€™s not enough, we sometimes worry on the how of it. โ€œHow am I supposed toโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€ โ€œHow isโ€ฆโ€ฆ.going to beโ€ โ€œbut I donโ€™t knowโ€ฆ..โ€ โ€œI have noโ€ฆ..โ€

Glory to God ๐Ÿฅณ today I was reminded that - God has the power to reveal.
Paul learnt in a short while what the apostles learnt in years.

My fellow brethren, I donโ€™t know what it is that has got you all wrinkled, but remember these two things:

1. As long as itโ€™s Godโ€™s will, it will come to pass.
2. God is able and will reveal all needed to accomplish His will.

Rejoice in this knowledge ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฝ
And share the good news.๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ“ฃ
