I LOVE GOD...BUT

I love God but sometimes I mess up really bad. I find myself doing the same things over and over again, things that I know makes His heart break, things that I even know that can kill me and destroy our relationship. Yea its bad like that. I love God, so much He has done so much for me, I just cant seem to give Him the love that He requires. I try to put aside the things that would beset me and try to press forward and Love God totally in purity…but Then comes along sin and then flesh beckons and encourages sin and there I go falling to the temptation. I try to fight this demon but I find myself losing more battles than winning. I hate to grieve my God, but God I do need your help. I need you to give me something to kill this ‘flesh’.I bear this sin and I don’t want it to destroy me moreover I don’t want you to take your spirit away from me..But please renew me.

I just remembered David, he messed up a lot during his reign. But He was still a man of your own heart.You knew exactly who David was, even before He became King, you knew his weakness for Bathsheba , you knew of the evil that was in his heart….but still you chose him. Just like many of us,God you know we have weaknesses but still you chose us for your purpose. What love you have for us? Even in our mess you still show us favor…we are so worthless. I’m not trying to justify my sins by saying "oh God still loves me anyway!" Yea that’s true…but just remember when David fell into sin, he admitted his sin accepted the consequences, repented and pleaded for salvation. He had a heart for God, he begged God not to take His holy spirit away from him, but just to renew him.Well, I too need that renewal, I'm begging God not to take his spirit away from me but to draw me closer to His side.

"relationship hoppers"

“Its not good for man to be alone…”

This is probably the only scripture most young adults hold in high regards, boi no one seems to be single these days, everyone got someone on their arm, every ones profile has committed or married ( when they really aren’t) it’s a bit ridiculous if you ask me. Some may quickly jump to the conclusion that I’m jealous or feeling a bit lonely because no one seems to be coming my way buts that’s not it at all. I’m just a bit amazed at the rate people move from one relationship to a next.Its just really crazy (well to me ), today someone will be all in love with their girl /man and then the next week or months they break up…that’s not even what bothers me most but it’s the fact that just as they step out of one relationship, they believe its time to find a replacement. That’s really crazy and dumb…How can one move on to another person without giving themselves adequate time to heal and get themselves together. They just hop from one girl/guy to the next…no time out seems to be needed. I’m really bothered by this because most of these men and women are not aware of the great damage they are doing to themselves and others.

Most of these ‘relationship hoppers’ are very insecure and confused, sorry if you're offended but that’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. Its like a major crime being committed if one is classified as being single, being single is like the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. To be honest I use to feel that way, I use to believe that I have to be with someone to feel good or just to have this person call me all those sweet names and give me gifts and all the other junk…but then I realize there is nothing wrong with being single, actually its best to be single. Its not necessarily easy but it’s the wisest thing to do in this era.Neither am I saying being committed is a crime that’s all good and gravy but I believe a line must be drawn. Back to being single, yes folks its not BAD to be both single and celibate, I do agree that the ‘world’ would consider those people to be crazy or weird but its best. I believe if many of us actually waited patiently on the right person instead of grabbing onto the first homo sapien that claims they love us we would all be in better positions.

Lets just slow down and work on ourselves, ,many of us are not even sure what love is and yes I Do know what true love is. I will blog on that next time. Many of us are so insecure that we Just have to have a guy/girl on our arm…but that’s just really sad. Many of us really need to take a break from the dating world and work on ourselves, work on loving yourself…! Being single is a time to prepare yourself for that mate that God has for you..but many of us don’t like the waiting process we like our stuff instant…but that will only lead to destruction. I’m waiting and preparing myself, I'm working on my insecurities and my bad attitudes. I cant afford to be labeled a ‘relationship hopper’, I’m too GOOD for that. So, I'm just going to trust God and wait patiently until its my turn.Its not easy but it’s the best way, Ive seen people do all kind of crazy stuff just because they got dumped by some loser…but I guess love is blind or many they are just straight up dumb.

Anyway enough of this,I’m going to go check who has just changed their status to single today :)!

I choose you...

Oh my gosh there is just an overwhelming prophetic word in my spirit. Is it safe to say prophetic?? But this word just seems so surreal and relevant to me. All I can truly say is that God is about to do the most impossible things, the most unlikely candidates are about to receive a very life changing task. Just like David, this lil shepherd boy didn't believe that one great fate changing day, he would by chosen to be king.I could only imagine the shock when he heard Samuel was seeking him in order to anoint him to be king. My gosh, sometimes people look down on other people because of how they look, more over people doubt others because they don't SEEM to posses a certain quality(that is familiar to me!!). People may not Even want to roll with you because you don't match their caliber, but who is man that we should be afraid of?! When God does a great work its well done by Him, whom God chooses may seem incapable. I hope people will find courage in David's story; I call it the road to kingship. Don't let anyone put you down or make you feel inferior, we are ALL made DIFFERENTLY and we are given unique gifts and talents and many of us don't use them because we are fearful of what people may or we are discouraged by the negativity of others and hence we NEVER pursue the destiny God has in store for us.Don't be so caught up in trying to change people's mind about you BUT instead change the mind set you have about yourself.

You may look like the unlikely candidate for a task, friends may discourage you, people may not even support your dreams (sure know how that feels!!) BUT if God has ordained you to be a man/woman of purpose and destiny don't allow no devil to steal your destiny or your vision for yourself.Ok! I think I'm talking too much now...but I hope the story of David hits home in your heart.

Love yourself, believe in yourself and trust God, that's my motto hope it will be yours too!!!

PREACHING RELIGION OR THE GOSPEL

Many times we as intellectual beings have forgotten what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about. We have forsaken the commission or the reason for the commission. Many have been called to profess the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the multitude but we have gotten either so distracted by the popularity or either we have found that The Gospel has suddenly become a drag or boring!!! Is it therefore a fact that The Gospel has lost its spark or is it that we as evangelist have lost the passion? We are no longer preaching about the Cross but we are caught up in this new 'religion' about prosperity and best life now mentality. But we have forsaken the principles of the Gospel. The reason for the cross brings about the glorious miracle of Salvation.

Everyone wants a mega church that is growing and flourishing. Everyone wants the fancy cars and private jet rides. These things aren’t entirely bad but once they become our aim and our gods then God has a problem. What is the commission about? Is it wearing fancy rings and robes and traveling the world? What really is the commission about?!
Have we lost sight of the goal and purpose God has set before us, have we gone astray. Are we walking in the footprints of Jesus when it comes to ministry?! Or are we scared to go to heights and depths for the Gospel of Christ. How much are we willing to sacrifice for the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The disciples suffered hardships and went through high waters just to get the gospel to the people, yes maybe our present time has become a bit more tolerable to the Gospel of Jesus or is it that we have began to slowly water down the truth so as to prevent the commotion and persecution. Persecution will come, but only then we will know who are truly servants for Christ. Will we run and hide or will we stand up and proclaim Jesus as Lord?
Remember the commission, remember the call.

IM NOT MY CLOTHES......

Who should we send to preach the word of God? Who is fit to represent the King? A couple of minutes ago I was bopping my head to 'Not 2 late mommy' by This'l. This'l is true ambassador of Christ, He preaches the word of God through his profound lyrical content, he's not ashamed to share his testimony to the masses, he is a true man of God. This'l is a rapper, not another Nas. lil wayne etc. But a man who is mean with a mic, His lyrics are soaked with biblical references, his lyrics are up lifting and relevant. So I go back to my question, who should preach the Gospel? Is it only the man who is clad in a Dolche and gabbana suit is worth enough to preach to the masses???or is it the man who holds a Doctoral degree in theology? You see, the church has its stereotypes. If you don't look a certain way then you are considered abnormal?\sinner. If a man walks into church clad in a Fitted cap, sagging jeans, throwback jersey and braids...he is without a doubt a SINNER! I'm tired of people judging one another, tired of people labeling people because of what a person is rockin'. Its sad how 'religious ' folks behave towards one another...and yet we profess we are christians...how sad! Ne ways, back to my point (again), Jesus chose a couple of fishermen to go minister the Gospel, yes fishermen!!! These men probably smelled like fish, looking all draped up in their attire...but still Jesus called them...chose them to be His soon- to -be- elite followers. Oh how great is the Love of my God...looks beyond, race, colour, clothing....!!! Why cant the church show such unconditional love to other people?! Why do we love to segregate and create rules and regulations to divide the body of Christ?! Jesus was a Jew, yet He rolled with the beggar, the lame, the fishermen, the prostitute....! My Gosh, we don't find that kind of evangelism these days, we are so quick to cast stones at someone who may look a bit different from us, we don't approach people with love anymore...but we are so eager to squash the esteem of another person making them feel less than and unworthy. So, who should really minster the Gospel?, Those who are pure in heart, those who have studied and examined the life of Christ! There are more but those I hold to be the core qualities.

So, to all my christian rappers who are holding it down for the Lord, to my evangelist who are roaming the streets and preaching the TRUTH, to all those who may not be clad in a suits with ties BUT still 'souled'(stole this from lecrae's song souled out) out for the Lord Jesus Christ...remain on the battle field for Christ and keep your heads up....PRESS ON WARRIORS!And to all those who are judgmental and Shallow minded..please carefully examine the life of Christ carefully and pray that God will teach you to walk in unity and love with the believers of Christ.
