LIFE AS A CHRISTIAN PART 1

-
Romans 8:1 
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

The perspective of life as a Christian does not begin or end in association (church mostly). Life as a Christian begins with an awareness; being aware of the Creator's agenda i.e a life beyond SELF.

Who is the creator and what is His agenda? (We shall come back to this)

 Living naturally as a man revolves around: Growth, Survival and Wants.
Since the day man fell off the intention of God in Eden, he was condemned to these three assurances. 
Growth (grows old and die)
Survival (struggles & battles)
Wants ( insatiable desires)

These are the essentials that fuel a man's existence from every physical perspective, but not all that there is, because there is a Spirit in man and that spirit is deposited at the expense of the Creator's Divine agenda, with reconciliation in perspective.

The spirit in man yearns and long constantly to grasp the purpose of the creator. However, leaving this spiritual vacuum unattended, often results in manipulation beyond the understanding of man from the world unseen.

Life as a Christian means that one has matured from the state of existence to that very state of Living. 

The same way a stone exists, other animals also exist without any sense of eternal purpose. 

In fact, everything exists for itself; to grow, to survive and to desire, until a man finds purpose for it.

With this light, a man cannot just exist for self, it must find purpose and the purpose for man is encoded in the creator.

Being aware of this superior and eternal being is the beginning of a Christian life.
 
Living as a man is mostly influenced by you ( your thoughts and desires). 

Living as a Christian is coming under an influence. (Part 2 ) To be continued.

THE OLD'S BURDEN

-

The Old's Burden (Exodus 14:12) Every man who chooses to remain in the past has a huge price to pay, which is regression. For this reason, I must say that every believer must break free from the cycle of modern-day temptation to cling to sinful habits, toxic environments, and relationships, despite the knowledge of their destructive consequences. Looking at this from a spiritual perspective, the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to freedom defines true transformation. Here is my point: this transformation was never a reality without the struggle to break free from the OLD'S BURDEN, which was a major driving force behind the new life God had planned. The reason for the struggle to break free was the comfort of the old, which was actually a burden on the future. (Exodus 14:12) “We said, 'Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It's better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!'” From this excerpt, what the Israelites refused to perceive ...

A SEEING EYES PART 2

  Matthew 6:22 "If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light"  Man is a living being whose existence is engineered spiritually. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  It is this breath that carries the vision of a man. Therefore, a man cannot exist independent of the spirit (breath) office God. The vision of a man is so crucial that it decides almost every aspect of his life. Losing one's vision means losing one's purpose. We shall be looking into how a man's vision determines his reach i.e how far he goes.  Let's look at Samson as a case study, a very powerful man who didn't go far despite his potentials and abilities in God. He was mandated to be the deliverer of Israel from the dominion of the philistines who oppressed the Israelites; but he went about that mandate depending on his strength. (Self) Quickly, it was only rec...

WHAT NOBODY HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT PRAYER!

This knowledge about prayer will set you in fire. The Most important understanding we need to have about prayer is that it's primary purpose is for reference and access circumventing the haste to communicate our needs. “...For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.(Matt 6:8) We oftentimes prioritize communion above acceptance. Then we neglect the most important; access to the secrets. Come to think of it, You don't communicate with a being you have no access to; the reason Jesus demanded that we shut the door, for the purpose of access to the secret place where the Lord dwells (Matt 6:6) check that scripture again. It is when you gain access, you then know what to communicate most importantly how(communion). Have you realized that if God dwells in the secret place, how then do we know what He has in stock without an access to this place? Therefore, our referential integrity while praying is thanksgiving, this is the most important; to adore and refere...
