How sustainable is your walk with God?... Most times I dish out motivational speeches or advices to people, but I don't really live up to them. Although this doesn't invalidate it but I just have to do better. I spoke about knowing God for yourself in my previous post, to be honest; I felt I did, not until I evaluated myself and realized as much as I felt i knew God for myself but it's more of a theoretical knowledge than practical. I leaned on others adulterated knowledge of Him.  I decided to take the bold step (when I say bold step, I meant bold bold steps that takes the grace of God) well I started unlearning a lot of things, I wanted to start all over with this relationship. I felt lost, confused, like I was yearning for decisions on what to do next ( I still feel this way). I was scared that I might become complacent ( you know being too relax). Well I came to the conclusion that I don't know how am to do this but this is me and my maker, at the end it'll be j...

Let’s talk about faith.  I used to believe faith is a feeling (it can be sometimes though), but whenever I don’t feel it, when it’s harder to pray because it feels like God has forgotten me and I don’t feel His presence anymore; I feel pretty much demoralized. Did you notice something in that statement? The word “feel-ing” was reoccurring. The devil creeps into our feelings and manipulates them. As much as all feelings are valid, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they can still be flawed. I’ve read Hebrews 11 several times and it didn’t hit until recently. In verse 11, it says Sarah “considered” Him faithful who had made the promise. She did not care about how she felt regarding the Lord telling her she’ll be a mother after menopause but she held on to that attribute of God; a FAITHFUL God. If you move to verse 19; it says Abraham “reasoned” that God could even raise the dead, the bible never said he felt, because if he was relying on his feelings. Hmmm, if he was relyin...

Guilt has a way of pushing us away from God. It’s like the more we sin, the more we become too judgemental of ourselves and we ultimately decide for God on whether we deserve to be forgiven. Most times we punish ourselves with the presumption that it’s what God would have wanted in order to feel better.  Other times, we harden our heart (defence mechanism), so we won’t feel, probably because we’re tired of repeating the same cycle,  it seems there’s no point trying to get better since we’ll eventually fall into the same temptation. So, hardening our heart seems like a better alternative, thereby trivializing it. To be fair, all sins are equal but that doesn’t mean we should condemn ourselves or others. God didn’t ask you to help Him with that. Do you know why it seems like we recycle the same sin? Jesus said in (John 8:34), ‘everyone who sins is a slave to sin’ It’s more like once you start a particular sin, you’re hooked, you’re chained, you try to unlock the chai...
