Your sure identity!

Few months ago, I had several thoughts run through my mind. Thoughts of past failures, sins, errors etc. I tried coping and scaling through them, but all my efforts were fraustrated. It felt like people around weren't helping matters, and God himself had given up on me.

Then a new month came, but I wasn't​ actually excited.

Nevertheless, with so much confidence, I still went to church the following Sunday, and behaved​ like all was fine.

I kept up with my self deceit until my roommate, who was sitting next to me during the service suddenly turned to me and said "You are Christ".

Well it wasn't like I was not aware of this, but her proclamation caught me off guard.

I mean, she doesn't always sound and look like someone who believes in religious issues as such.

I remember her always changing topics when ever I brought up the "take Christ serious" gist. 

For a fact, her words hit me hard, and made me analyse my problem.

I mean, I had lost my identity.
I failed to discover that I was no longer identified as a sexually immoral person, a greedy fellow, or an idolater.

I had forgotten that my new identity was that of a person who had been washed, sanctified, and declared blameless. And because I have been saved by Christ, I have been given "His Identity".

I want to believe my roommate didn't speak of her own accord, but God spoke to me through her, to get me back on my feet.

I felt led to share this story because I know God is trying to get one of us to realise how influential we are in this world, and to cause us to rise up to our God given tasks, by embracing our new identity and letting go of the former.

A Christ is an anointed, and should be in custodian of power. The Bible says the yoke shall be broken because of the anointing.

Therefore brethren, there's no need to get so drowned in our thoughts and regrets of the past.

Stand up to the victory we now attain.

Thanks for reading, and have a love-filled weekend😊.

What A Journey!

I thought hard and long about what this article should entail. My head failed to come up with a lovely post, but an excellent mind came up with some soothing words. Here is a beautiful piece from a friend and devotee. LOL . I'm sure some of us can relate to its content. Kindly read aloud on your beds, savor each paragraph, and be strengthened. " On your mark Get set Go! These words were not spoken to me before I chose to pick up the baton to run this race. I kept running without looking back, still am. But I haven't stopped to wonder what type of a race this is. I mean, what type of a race validates a fall but rebukes a retreat, at the same time mandates its participants to uplift lagging/dropping mates right on the journey? What type of a race encourages its athletes to run, not for the medal at the finish line but a love for the journey What type of a race mounts up hurdles that limit its athlete's speed but strengthens their zeal ...

Gratitude

I hope I get forgiven for being so far away, yet very close?🥺  A lot has been going on in my head and I promise to share once I can fully comprehend them. But before then, I thought to drop this here, and I hope it helps someone. I Got up to read one of my favourite devotionals this morning but when I saw the topic " Gratitude ", I just felt there really wasn't anything new to learn. Notwithstanding, I read it but definitely didn't study it.  Fast forward to me going about my daily activities with hindrances everywhere.  First, the cooking gas finished just in the middle of preparing breakfast, then many more annoying events occurred. At some point, I got really irritated and angry that I punched hard at a wooden door and flung it open (I still don't know how that door didn't come down, because the force I used on it ehn😂). I had a lot of frustrations that I had been suppressing, and the stuffs going on in the day were not helping matters.  Sadly, I took out...

All I desire

I promised in my last article to write you sooner than ever. So, here comes the bride lol . This is a prayer request from a "huge fan". Read aloud, pray along and let the Holy Spirit minister to your soul. Teach me to be good, teach me to dwell on your path. Teach me to do things aright, teach me to say the right things. Teach me to fight my pasts, teach me to always lean forward. Teach me to overcome my failures and fears, teach me to be strong. Teach me to remember I have you to depend on, teach me to always remember that you’re right by my side. Control my eyes from sadness, control my heart from anxiety. Control my feet from places I’m not wanted, stop my legs from going to places where I’d not be appreciated. Control my decisions from haste, control my eyes from greed. Control my lips from over-excited jestings, control my mouth from blabbings. Help, for my household and I have suffered, friends have mocked us, and families have shamed us. We need your urgent interventio...
