UNBOXING GOD

-

 




Putting God in a box is like setting parameters or building a fence round him. God is unpredictable and incomprehensible. Looking through the scriptures, we can see that the presence of God moved from a one place to the other. From the ark of covenant to living in us by the reason of Jesus did on the cross.


Often times, we turn our relationship with God into a routine. Our human mind begins to put God in a box such that we think he can only reach out to us in a particular manner. As much as God is able to do anything and everything, what limits us when we put constraints on our relationship is not His ability but ours. We limit our ability to partner with God, work with him, to see Him do miracles, and to experience how big He really is.

Our view on our situation and our perspective of who God is are responsible for how we box him up.

The dimension of him that we see in our lives correlates to our view of who God is. When we see Him as the Almighty creator of the universe, we realize there are no limits to what He can do. And immediately, we expect as much from Him.



Putting God in a box automatically shows how much you've put yourself in a space of expectation of the things He is capable of giving you, but we can box ourselves out if we really want to get the full dimension of God. Putting God in a box makes us miss the supernatural that comes in an ordinary way just because we are focused on something more extra, our view about the ways of God are unfocused to understand that God can be present even in the ordinary.

MY SALVATION STORY

Hi darlings, My name is Folakemi Ajayi (I'm sure you know already) and I'm about to tell how I received the life of Christ.  A little story about my childhood Being the only girl in my family, I have always felt different. Growing up, I was that child that grew up faster than her age. I had few friends who were my age mates, most of my friends were older, hence, I knew so many things that were beyond my age. I was also that extremely reserved child whom they thought had a speech problem but little did they know my brain was more matured than they thought. Lol Primary school, I was that strange girl who had few friends in my class because I exhibited weird behaviours.  Secondary school, I was that tomboy who still behaved strangely but was quite cool with everyone. I remembered at a point in secondary school, I was getting attracted to girls. Just yesterday, I remembered how the lebanism spirit was trying to find an expression in me. T...

CHRISTIAN, SINGLE AND HORNY

-

One of the many things they never tell us as Christian singles is our sexual desire, being "horny". Most people do not want to talk about it, perhaps, it's meant to be discussed by the married folks. Some have termed this wrong, profane and unholy but don't we need to start talking about this more than ever? Being horny simply means being sexually hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? Eat, yeah? But as a Christian single, you can't eat this meal because it is meant for the married folks. God is the chef of this meal, to be consummated in marriage. In a generation were you have porn all over the internet, it takes the grace of God not to lose your Holy Ghost common sense. Many people think Christian singles do not feel the urge to have sex, many think since the Holy Ghost lives in you, you shouldn't be horny - Leemao Your hormones do not change when you give your life to Christ, they do not even care if you're in Christ or not - ve...

DOES GOD HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR?

-

The justification of some Christians that God doesn't have a sense of humour strikes me like a thunder. How do you say a God who created man in his image according to his likeness has no humour? If man does have a sense of humour, so does God. Man's sense of humour may have been somewhat corrupted/perverted due to sin but it doesn't change the fact of the discussion matter. For example, God has intellect just like we do, he is creative just like we are, he feels sad just like we do etc but the sinful nature can make us misrepresent the true nature of God. If God has no sense of humour, I think we should question where man got his. Our sense of humour may not exactly be the same because there are some despicable things human find funny that God will not find funny. A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression. Proverbs 17:22 TPT The latter part explains what happens when your heart ...
