THE DOG AND ITS VOMIT

Grace is sufficient for all, but just like Paul asked "should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!".

As a believer, you have the power to overcome sin.

The Holy Spirit in you will always tell you that you are doing or about to do something that is wrong.

Sin is enjoyable for a moment but its after effect is like the aftershocks of an earthquake; which is more disastrous.

Have you ever meditated and imagined these scriptures?

Proverbs 26:11

As a dog returns to his own vomit,
So a fool repeats his folly.

2 Peter 2:22

But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,”and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Imagine a dog eating food that is not good for its stomach and it vomits it out. And stands to still eat up the vomit. Unbelievable! Shocking!!

Don't you think it will fall sick because of the bad food? Eating its own vomit again?

As born-again believers we said NO to sin the moment we gave our lives to Jesus Christ and before we know it we are back to the same sin we said no to.

When this happens, think about yourself as the dog that has gone back to its vomit.

Let this word of God dwell in you and help you stay away from sin.

Well, this is mine that I decided to share.
The Holy Spirit will give you yours as you study the word daily.

So, when next you are tempted to sin, about to sin or have already sinned: think on the dog eating back its vomit. Disgusting right? Yes! Very.

God bless you! I mean YOU!!

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person. School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life; I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well, He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy. Many of us are struggling with one secret sin or more. We have tried to quit on our own. Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
