The New Adults

“ Servant’ was always a word I hated because to me,  it described a state of being lower than others or vulnerable to oppression. I tried my best to avoid any form of friendship with the word until I heard that Jesus Christ used the word to describe himself. What made a man or should I say God like Jesus describe himself as a servant wasn’t he meant to only be a master? I left the thought hanging as part of my unsolved mind issues till I could find an answer like I always do. Christ came to serve and not only did he serve he did it to Gods glory and so well that God made his name higher than every other name. Now a question pops in my head if I want to serve God well and have him welcome me as “Oh faithful servant, welcome”( this is really what I want to hear   when I get to heaven ),what must I do to make sure I deliver great service  to God? Paul was an exceptional apostle, something made him different. The way he delivered his teachings, his control of words, ability to express hims

As a young child, I touched things I was not allowed to but I never touched people’s money without permission, simply because I believed the law of karma worked for money, money was something to be protected because more money meant less troubles. I maintained this mentality till I became older, I started to scheme of ways to get more money, I thought of every possible thing, car wash (which my dad strongly opposed),modelling, Forex, starting a cleaning agency ,real estate, starting a lesson teacher company not because I really loved these things but mainly because money was on my mind. At a point, I asked myself what do I really love to do, I had no answer because I had forgotten passion was important, I believed through discipline I could make myself do whatever it is even if I did not necessarily like it. Through our daily evening prayer meetings, this mentality has begun to change, money is not something you make it is something God gives and takes. He is the owner, so he wou

Today's service was the bomb, Thank God I did not doze at all. When I gave my life to Christ, I believed one of the things that would make me know God better was to read the word of God but today my mind was elevated to another level of what the bible is.

When a man declares THE WORD OF GOD (John 6:63), he is going to see THE ACTS OF GOD. Firstly, it is the spirit of God that empowers man to do the impossible e.g. Samson (Judges 16:20),Paul (Acts 14:1),You (1 John 4:4).Just as during creation of earth, God declared the word and the spirit in the word CREATED what he wanted to happen e.g. light, birds, animals, plants etc. The word of God is like a coded command(for example its like me tapping the keyboard of my laptop, the laptop decodes it and shows what I commanded it to display), the same thing works with the
