WHY IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE BIRTH OF JESUS TO BE A VIRGIN BIRTH

Image
The birth of Jesus has been quite confusing to many. I’ve heard people say “Mary was violated and that she didn’t consent to being pregnant with Jesus”. Well, I’m pleased to inform you that this is 100% false.  Luke 1:26-38 tells us this In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”   Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.   You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.   He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,   and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his ...

THE SALVATION PLAN OF GOD

Image
  God's beauty is amazing. His plan to save man is literally the most mind blowing idea that will ever exist. No broom in his hands yet he sweeps us off our feet. The entire salvation plan was beautifully designed by him, making sure that man is exactly where he belongs - with him. Starting from the garden of Eden we can see that despite Adam and Eve's sin against him, he still catered for their needs. After they had sinned against him despite knowing they would, he never changed his initial plan to make us live with him forever. This makes me think that because someone decides to go outside of God's plan doesn't cancel make God cancel his plan. Man was created for God's purpose. However, man fell - which of course God had foreknown. This fall allowed sin to enter into man and automatically into the world, denying man of all God had designed him to be but then, God already had a solution. One of the reasons Adam and Eve was sent out of the garden of Eden was to ena...

VALENTINE'S DAY EUPHORIA

Image
  Valentine's day is in 2 days and the humans in a relationship are super excited and are most likely not going to take it easy on the singles. It's been a tough few days for the single folks; If you have a single friend, please, check on them and send them money.  Valentine's day is certainly not really a favourite day for singles because of the tension coming from all angles. It’s that one special day a year in which singles are painfully reminded that they may very well die alone - cruel! Unfortunately, in our romance and sex-saturated culture, every day reminds you of that. However, the church hasn’t offered much alternatives. There’s far too much “Jesus is my boyfriend” or “I’m dating Jesus” type of songs and teachings that trivializes the kind of intimacy that can exist between God and humanity thereby silencing the deeper pain of loneliness and disappointment that singles sometimes feel. Amazingly, this year's Valentine's day falls on a Sunday. Hallelujah? Am...

CHAPTER 25

Image
  Sometimes, the days move like they are in a competition with a cheetah. Other times, they tend to slow down while we savour every moment we are able to create with our loved ones. Times when they seem fast, we are able to look back at how much we've done, how hard we've loved, how committed we have been to things and people and how much of so many things we've been able to gather. I delight in talking about my life from the age I met Christ. As important as everything that happened before then is, they do not measure up to the standard of how my life currently is. At 22, I had my life interrupted by God. Let's say I was used to thinking I have everything covered. So, before graduation in Uni, I already had an idea what my life was going to be like after Uni - God must have laughed hysterically at me those days. Each year has been better than the previous one. I have walked in precision and prophecies have been fulfilled in my life. I have grown exponentially. My lif...

THE HIDDEN FACTS OF THE TEENAGE YEARS

Image
  A teenager is someone who falls within the ages of 13 to 19. This is the stage where they are transformed into young adults. There is no bone of contention that the teen world is an amazing stage of life accompanied by a lot of decision making processes that impacts the future in many ways. The teenage years is said to be one of the most complicated chapter of a person's life because many teenagers struggle to find a place in the society; they want to fit into the society while on the side, battling with their self identity. This is said to be responsible for why so many teenagers get depressed today; they have low self-esteem or feel people don't get to accept them just the way they are because they do not fit into a particular group in the society. I have come to understand that any teen going through this should disconnect him/herself from people who do not value and appreciate them and learn to connect with people who have a lot in common with them - those who are willi...

2020, WHAT A YEAR!

Image
  I entered 2020 with a lot positivity in my heart, I was going to stop working in the first month and had my postgraduate degree to pursue because I had just gained admission. Although, the Lord had already told me what the year was majorly going to be like for me but my human mind certainly had no idea what was in store neither did it know how everything was going to play out because I thought I'd be able to get a new job and school was going to be in session; how was he going to do this? I wondered. In specific words, the Lord told me this year was for him (Communion and Partnership). Notwithstanding, 2020 was a beautiful year for the Lord. Below are what happened.  New dimensions of God This year made me see that God isn't only my 'God' or 'Father' but he is 'Lord' over my life. I saw him provide for me, comfort me when the tears won't stop coming, I saw him tell me how much he cares for me and how he delights in me. Knowing I was going to sto...
