From Embarassment to Revelation: A Sunday I won't Forget

Image
Coughs, this is me😅   Today, I woke up with that tempting feeling of wanting to sleep in a little longer… and honestly, I gave in. When I finally opened my eyes the second time, I remembered I’m trying to build a devotional habit, so I got up and prayed. It wasn’t long (about three minutes really), but it mattered. Afterwards, I went to the living room, picked up my Bible, and continued my reading in the book of Acts. Then it hit me, I should probably start getting ready for church. I had gotten ready and then we hit the road. At church, I spotted one of my beloved mentors (one of those teachers of God’s Word to teens who truly inspire me). Excited, I walked briskly (okay, maybe almost ran 😅) to her and gave her a hug, one of the best hugs I’ve had in a while. Then I went into the teens’ church. It had been renovated recently, so the place looked absolutely fabulous. I waved at familiar faces just as service began. We prayed, worshipped, and got into the Word. Guess what? The men...

Once Far, Now Near

Centuries ago,   Access to God came with procedures—   Strict steps,   A sacred system known as the law. Once upon a time,   No one could hear God unless through prophets.   He seemed distant,   A deity whose wrath could drown the guilty in a breath of justice. A people there was—   Chosen.   Bound to a system,   Offered sacrifices—blood and meat of animals. But access to the I AM?   It wasn’t direct.   Only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies,   Once a year,   On behalf of the people,   Pleading,   Begging for mercy... You see, there was a partition—   One that disobedience built.   The first sin etched a distance.   We couldn’t commune with God as we can now. But then—   John 3:16 unfolded like prophecy on fire. By ourselves,   We couldn’t attain righteousness.   No a...

Dear teen girl

Dear teen girl, a boy might make your heart flutter. He might sweep you off your feet. It might feel like the world revolves around him. Dear teen girl, it might feel like your emotions for him is so strong. It feels like your emotions are getting more solid with every conversation. Your feelings are growing deeper. Dear teen girl, it can feel like a lot. You wish to stop thinking about him, But you end up thinking about him more. Dear teen girl, can I tell you a story? A story that is popular but needs to be told over again. There was a certain teenager. A boy to be specific. This boy wasn't like others of his age, he was unique. I am sure there were girls of his age  He could have admired them. But that wasn't his concern at the time. He would wander off and spend time alone with God, consecrating himself. He was human as well. But he had a greater priority. He recognised he was on this earth for a purpose. He had human emotions too. But his gaze was fixed on God that every o...

CLOSE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

  You know, some people aren't sent into your life for the fun of it. They are sent to form you... To shape you... To remind you of who you should be. And if you fail to realize this, you might have misdirected conversations with that person. You might be looking for solutions to what you are experiencing. But little do you know the answer is right in front of you. So.... Don't be proud. Be humble and learn from that person.   You know... God just connects you to certain people to show you the template for your life. Their life is like a guide... A check that brings you to order when you miss your way. So.... Wake up. And take hold of this golden opportunity to better yourself .

TRUE SELF WORTH

At times, we often feel pressured to do certain things because of the people around us. In this blog, you will get to know more about this. We feel because the majority of people are doing it then we have to do it. We feel awkward and left out if we are not doing it. For instance; the majority of people around you are using a certain type of bag. And because you don't have it you feel less, you feel you aren't enough. But that's not true. On the other hand, it's not bad to get a new bag or shoe but don't do it from the wrong motive. The wrong motive is that you are doing it from a place of wanting to feel among or feel better. Do it with the right motive. Let me tell you something; your sense of worth shouldn't be based on material things. No matter how much you think you can acquire to be happy, it will never be enough to permanently make you feel enough and valued. You see, sometimes we seek validation from the wrong things. Our eyes are searching elsewhere to...
