What does it mean to be called a Christian? A Christian is a follower of Christ Jesus. Christianity isn’t a religion, but a relationship. It’s a relationship-based walk with God. It’s having a one-to-one relationship with God. A Christians journey does not begin when they step into a Church or pick up a Bible, anyone could do that. A Christians journey begins when they connect with Jesus on a personal level. It’s only by Jesus connecting with you personally will…
Should a wife submit to her husband? The short answer is yes but under one condition. The Bible states the condition in which a wife should submit to her husband. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. (Ephesians 5:22-23 ESV) Before feminists start throwing stones let’s delve in a little deeper. But I want you to understand that the…
Although I’ve grown and achieved maturity over the years, I still consider myself to be a young woman with a lot more years ahead of me and more wisdom to gain along the way. That notwithstanding, there are a few things I wish I knew a lot sooner. I’ve made an interesting list of 7 things I wish I knew sooner. 1. Forgiveness isn’t for the other person, it’s for you: Who can tell me they haven’t either hurt someone…
Human life is often riddled with storms and turbulence, and you have not lived on Earth if you haven’t faced your share of adversity. One of the reasons why I am team God is how he equips us with words to give us strength and guide us through our storms. Psalm 46 is one of my favourite psalms. It talks about how God is ever present in our storms and how he shows up to pick us up when the…
When Yeshua lived on Earth was he melanated or not? What is the complexion of God? Is he an old caucasian man with a long white beard? Where did this idea come from in the first place? Does it even matter? The short answer is yes and no. It matters because of the power of representation. It’s like asking a child to pick between a black doll and a white doll. The child would pick the doll that is most…
Someone once told me that the greatest thing you can achieve in life is knowing what God’s purpose for you is and doing it wholeheartedly. Being in line with God’s purpose and will for you is where you will find peace and happiness, and where you will be most successful. When I was unsatisfied with the person I was on the inside and on the outside I had a hunger for the world and the things in it. I wanted…
The greatest lesson I learnt on my journey with God is the power and authority I have in Yeshua Hamashiach. When Yeshua died, his blood formed a binding contract that was signed by God which states that every human on earth that falls under the contract is a new creation in Christ. The contract washes away their sins before God and puts them under the law of grace. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,…
Prayer is talking to God. It isn’t reserved for the righteous alone. It’s free of charge and available to everyone. Why is communicating with God on a daily basis important? During our time in communication with God is when we get to firstly thank him for the blessings in our lives, one of which is the gift of life. We get to confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. We tell God about our problems, and our worries and we…
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) The Bible speaks of the peace that God puts in his people as one that is hard to understand. This is because true peace comes from within. It’s not about what you see with your physical eyes or what is transpiring around you. You won’t always have control over what happens around you. True peace comes from God. God…
1. God is Holy – this to me is his most important trait. Whatever we choose to do, this is the number 1 trait of God we have to keep in mind. God is Holy. He is righteous. He is pure. He cannot stand sin. Being created in God’s image, our mission is to work on ourselves daily so we can be as closest to his holy nature as possible. Whatever we do on Earth we have to imagine what God…
