Are you led?

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.


The other day I was speaking to my mom about getting a facial on my birthday and the first thing she asked was why?

There's nothing wrong with your face. You have nice skin. Why do you want a facial?

My response: I just want to know what it's like.

The next question she asked and the statement she made after that baffled me.

She was like, did you pray about it? And I was like why would I pray about it? It's just a facial.

And then came the quote that for some reason has not been something I have dwelled on in a long time.

She said" those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God".

We then had a conversation about asking God before making decisions and leaping into things.

How many of us first ask God before we do things?

We simply make decisions and choices and expect God to follow through and accept and agree with what we have decided to do for ourselves. We live without even consulting Him or getting His opinion.

And when things don't work out, we blame that same God that we place on the back burner of our decision-making.

We leap into situations and expect God to agree, accept and be there to catch us even though at the back of our minds we know we never asked Him because we were afraid of the answer we would get.

As Christians, we are called to be like Christ and to be like Christ is to act like Christ, it is to emulate Christ in everyway possible.

One thing Christ did was pray and ask God for and about everything, always putting God first.

Therefore, if we are Christians, and we have dedicated our lives to God, He should come first before every decision, move and choice we make.

He should be our first consultant not our last. He should be the reason we do what we do. Non-negotiable!

If you are a Christian, ask God first and be led by His Spirit and not by your emotions and society. I'm also guilty of leaping into things before asking God, so I speak to myself as I write this.

In my humble opinion,  if you haven't asked God, don't do it! Period!

Life is a learning process, we will get there one step at a time!

And remember, God loves you soo much that He is interested in every aspect of your life and in everything that you do. 

No matter how small or insignificant the decisions may be, God wants to be kept in the loop always....

He is your father and you are His child. Why wouldn't He be interested?

God's Magnificent Love towards us

I think 🤔 one of the most important things I have learnt in life is God's magnificent love towards us.  I don't mean feeling or knowing He loves us, but understanding and having knowledge of His love towards us.  I have always struggled with faith and struggled with accepting where I am and where God has taken me.   I have always complained about this and that, never satisfied with what I have and what God has given me. Never wondering if there are lessons to be learned in all these and reasons for God doing what He is doing. Nevertheless,  when I began to gain knowledge and understanding of God's love, it led me to a better understanding of faith and who God is. I mean His love is so pure and so true that His thoughts towards us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end!  EXPECTED NOT UNEXPECTED! Meaning an end that is going to happen. When we have an understanding and knowledge of the love God has for us, we can trust Him and have complete faith in Him. He l

The Principle of Free Will and The Invincible Forces That Govern This World

-
Last year on this blog, I wrote about the fault being in us and not in our stars and how our actions are a ripple effect that governs the things that will eventually take place in our lives. I spoke on the principle of sowing and reaping. However, since then, I have come to realize that there is much more to life than us and the decisions we make. Whether we choose to believe it, we do not govern ourselves. There is a reason why the bible states that the whole world lies under the influence of the evil one. Ephesians 2:1-3 states that  God quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past, we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. As you can see, free will

The fault is in Us

Shakespeare was right when he said that the fault is not in our stars but in us. The fault is indeed in us.  We are the problem.  And instead of us taking responsibility for our own actions, we choose to shift that responsibility to "fate".  An invincible force that supposedly determines the steps of human life..   This is what we refer to as our stars!  I believe in God and I believe He directs our steps when we choose His will and His way.  But most times, we tend to use the concept of free will to argue ourselves out of holes we used our own hands to dig ourselves into.   Look at the children of today! They are growing up with no role models, protection, or direction.  They are growing up in a world that has been perverted.  A world where some people want to consider pedophilia as a sexual trait instead of a crime.  Free will and the freedom to do as one pleases has been taken so much out of context, that people commit crimes based on rights.   We have created laws with lo
