The 'Selfie' Generation

In the world of today, one of the trends in the trending words is 'selfie'. The word, according to the Oxford British and World English Dictionary,  defines as 'A photograph that one has taken of oneself'. Now I don't know if anyone else has noticed that no matter how hard you try, one just cant snap a perfect selfie; its either at one point you didn't smile enough and when you try to adjust your smile and you take another picture, the background won't be good enough and so on. so many reasons why our selfies just cant be perfect.
So exactly it is with life, many a times we try to take a picture of the world, but we put ourselves only in the picture leaving behind the original centerpiece, that is God. Anyone who tries to see the world from just his/her own point of view will definitely be discouraged and would NEVER see the perfection in the world that God saw in Gen. 1:31, but seeing through the eyes of God, we'll see nothing but perfection because all that God made was perfect.
The little challenge for us here today is that in everything we do, put God first and at the center. In Matt. 6:33 the Bible tells us to seek first the kingdom of God, the Bible never asked us not to seek other things (Godly), neither were we asked never to take a picture of ourselves, all we have to do is just to ensure that God is in and at the center of our life's picture. And I must say this is the basic tool needed to live a victorious life on earth.
GOD BLESS.

‘THE ESSENCE OF THE PARTY’

Hello friends, trust you are doing good. Already we are in the Christmas season and safely, I can say that the ‘Christmas fever’ has caught us all. But briefly I’d like to share a short story with us, though a sad one but I believe we’ll get the message.  Its about a family who, after trusting God for a child for some time, finally got one and when the day of the naming ceremony came, I trust we know how colourful and ‘loaded’ it was going to be, the mother of the child was like the happiest person on earth that day moving from chair to chair, room to room, person to person, just greeting everyone who turned up, as the gust were arriving, she was welcoming them with a bright smile on her face and expressed total joy and happiness that day. the Father of the child also couldn’t hide his joy as he just felt like he was above the world at that time and was over-joyous. Then a guest arrived, who just went over to meet the mother of the child, asking to see the baby. so, the moth...

MUSTARD SEED FAITH

Hello friends, trust you are good. Today I'll be sharing a piece I titled Mustard Seed Faith. And our text is Matthew 17:14-20: 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” 17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Noth...

A Life Of Praise

Image
Good day fellow believers, today's post is going to be on a life that praises God. "Praise is something we do when we don't know what to do" - Bishop David Abioye The Bible recorded of Paul and Silas that after they prayed and it was like God wasn't answering, they began to sing and then a miracle happened. When we pray, angels come down to minister unto us (Heb. 1:14), just like the case of Daniel (in Daniel 10), but whenever we praise, God himself attends to our praises because as the psalmist recorded, 'God inhabits the praises of His people'. Angels can operate in an atmosphere of prayer but an atmosphere if praises is God's dwelling place. So, safely we can say that a life that praises God is a life that carries God, and when we carry God on our inside, we experience great and mighty things. One thing is that praises is not all about songs, though its a part of it, but praise is a thing of the heart, a heart that constantly worship God. Then y...
