JUST A BREATH AWAY



Many (even Christians) are guilty of being so engrossed with the luxuries and pleasantries this world gives and get carried away by it only to forget it is temporal. 

This is bad especially for a true Christian–born again– because scripture reveals what we are in this world.
We are pilgrims, passersby, sojourners... etc. (1peter 2:11). We don't belong here, so we aren't meant to get too comfortable in this world.

This however, isn't allocated to Christians alone but every human in existence. The Bible says everything shall one day pass away. (1 peter 1:24).


So, while enjoying life and being so loosed to every passing thing, remember that eternity is just a breath away. There are two destinations and definitely you can't miss one. What determines where you'll end is your life on Earth.

How you lived your life; if you fulfilled purpose and yielded to the spirit of God, if you propagated Christ, if you made use of God's grace provided for you, if you spread the light of Christ... and more is what will matter when you finally leave this earth realm or when Jesus comes.

The way you spend your life span on earth determines your eternal destination once your breath is ceased.

When I talk of how you live, I don't mean a legalistic or moralistic way. I'm talking of the Spirit filled Christian life for Christianity is not about obeying some rules and observing some Christian activities. It's not about being law driven. 

It's about being yielded to the Holy spirit such that He controls and directs your life. For those that are led by the Spirit of God are actually true Christians—sons of God (Romans 8:14) not by following rules and laws.

Furthermore, Christianity is neither what many Christians ignorantly term Christianity, just as the illustration the apostle, Paul gave when he said, "should we continue in sin that grace may abide?"

Grace is not a license to continue in sin. That's an abuse of grace. Grace was given to us as a favour and gift from God unto man (the gift of salvation).
So, let's not fall prey to such fallacy concerning grace.

It is only the Holy Spirit in us that is capable of transforming our lives totally to be aligned with God's will. Only He has the power to reform and transform.

He is responsible for growing the fruits of the Spirit in us and activates the life of Christ embedded in our spirit man once born again.
So, if you think you can actually live right (one acceptable unto God) victoriously without the Holy Spirit, you believed a lie.

He's our seal of redemption, our helper and comforter sent by Jesus Christ to help us walk this earth victoriously. Hence, you need the Holy spirit to overcome.

So while you live your life, submit totally to the spirit of God to enter God's kingdom. Remember, it's just a breath away from eternity. Don't live your life like you own it. It belongs to a Supreme being–God Almighty.

Cease from every unholy act, decease from every act of wickedness. Lying, sex before and outside marriage, backstabbing a neighbor or friend, speaking ill words against another, hatred for another human, bitterness and malice, strife and everything sinful only forms an ugly and disastrous destiny for you —eternal destruction.

There are two paths laid before you. I beesech you therefore, that you choose the right path of unending, unfathomable bliss by re-patterning your life according God's word and be totally dependent on His spirit.

Receive Christ today if you haven't. Bow your head now and make a prayer of repentance as you welcome Christ in your heart.

Walk daily by the Spirit and you won't gratify the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16).


God bless you.

MY DEADLY FRIEND

I had this friend I never knew was a foe till I understood its deadly traits.   The worst part?? I feed it myself unknowingly. Imagine feeding what kills you slowly. No, it's not an external being or thing but comes from within.  And no, it's not personal to me but a generic problem amongst millions of people out there. Comparison! Yes, comparison! It shows itself through three different forms :  Emotions , c ommunication   and   Identity . You would agree with me that these forms can also be components that constitute friendship. This is to elaborate how comparison poses as a friend while stating its significant harm. THE EMOTIONS INVOLVED  Some people think of comparison as a tool for growth. I mean, if other people's success and progress can keep you awake and thinking all the time, then you would want to do better. That's what you think, right?  Comparison would surely give you a lot of motivational lines like: "If my friend can do this, i can do i...

WHEN PURPOSE DOESN'T LOOK POPULAR

One of the basic need of humans is to be seen. The need to be wanted, accepted and approved by others. And in our world today, where visibility and popularity often connotes value, walking in the light of purpose can feel lonely and somewhat insignificant. It seems like everyone is moving faster, shining brighter, and getting noticed.  On the other hand, you who seek to live in obedience to God's instruction per time  don't draw attention. Your purpose looks slow, hidden, or even strange to others. What happens then? The truth is, God’s purpose for your life won’t always look popular. Sometimes, He calls you to build when no one else understands what you’re building. He calls you to walk a path that doesn’t make sense to the crowd. That's not really comforting, right? But understand that there's a difference between living for purpose and living for popularity. Purpose is about fulfilling God’s assignment for your life. It’s about obedience, faith, and surrender. Wheth...

HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE WITHOUT LOSING HUMILITY

You know, I truly love the virtue called humility and sincerely admire humble people. But you see folks that are extremely humble yet unapologetically confident — this, I can never resist. I could't help but wonder how they strike the balance until recently. You can see humility yet confidence is an aura they exude. I had to research on it and I discovered the "how-to" behind this amazing twist which I'll be unfolding here.  First off, let's understand this: T here is a thin line between confidence and pride. It takes some level of mastery to avoid breaking that line.  Have you ever tried to be confident but felt like you were being “too much”? Maybe you spoke up during a meeting, posted your small win online, or walked into a room with your head held high, then immediately wondered if you came off as proud. It’s something many struggle with: wanting to believe in themselves without seeming arrogant. Society often makes it worse by mixing up humility with self-dou...
