Am Saved... Now what?

We all have had to ask this after our lives reached that point where we wanted to change. this doesn't need to have a nasty story of salvation or a sweet church person but we all get to this point and if not soon I hope you will. and we do ask for the next step after having received this gift of salvation. there are some of the essentials as I like to call them that are tools that the lord can use to help us grow in this gift of salvation and  this includes the following;


  • Reading the bible, and there are thousands of tools when it comes to this so whichever one that enables you to spend time reading God's word am okay with it. be it the scripture memory or inductive bible study or bible tracks audio bibles bottom line is spending enough time reading the bible. there is more to this but for today this will do.
  • Join a church and not just as a member of that church but more importantly a participant in the church activities for the purposes of accountability and growth. I know its another topic of discussion as to which church one should join and I hope to write about this in the near future. but for now, I will advice please ensure that the church you go to preaches from the correct bible and allows you to read it as well. 
  • There is the action of prayer which I will as well encourage us to do. this is always looked at as a natural practice but it has a lot to do as no relationship can be built without communication. it carries power as well to help us remain in the truth that we find in the word of God.
  • Witnessing is the last thing and this is simply telling others of your faith in God as well as sharing the love that you have in the lord. 
There is more to all this as I only want to build a foundation and hopefully develop more on each topic as well. these things are simple on the outward surface and indeed no one should ever make them complex be it from an academic point of view or experience. but again these things enable us to grow to levels where our spiritual eyes are opened to see the hidden things of God that find when reading the word of God.  they as well enable us to develop our discernment to all things and understanding as well when dealing with the challenges of being human and that is by nature sinful.
so I do welcome us this year as we shall be looking into this gift of salvation and try to answer our question Now what? this will have a number of series that will be more of a continuation of the other and I hope and pray that we indeed shall inherit that eternal life in Christ Jesus.
shalom.

SAVE YOUR LIFE

How to save your life Salvation is one of those things that has been overrated as some will put it.   One time a very dear friend of mine told me that if hell was real, then the solution is simple just carry with you an extinguisher. And all this are some of the speculations that a majority of us have when it comes to the reality of eternity. The truth is Gods judgment is coming and there is only one way to save yourself from his wrath and this is how. Jesus said “whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it but whoever loses his life will keep it ”(Luke 17:33) this was interesting for me as well because at first I thought it’s about saving oneself but then it hit me hard that’s not it.   Trying to save the life we work so hard to build is the reason many of us will miss the kingdom, harsh I know but the scripture puts it out clear don’t try to save your life. Do the opposite accept to lose it for the sake of Christ and you will save it. What we choose is of great i...

ministry

some go for  vot, others Iserve africa and the list goes on and on and the things that most of us do when asked whatwe do for God is endless and do you know something as long as it is right before GOD then it is ministry regardless of what you do so people do not fear when others are telling of the big things just focus on being faithful on that whichyou have been given to do by God . it may be you are a house wife or a teacher or a drive all that is ministry if you bring change that is positive to peoples life. well a common saying "where there is no vision people perish " see what hapens when you make a small change of removing "w" it reads "here there is no vision and people perish " so please dont change your ministry to like othere or else you will give the second meaning be faithful.

GRACE

The way a word is defined really means a lot . for instance the word freedom is defined as "right to do what you want " you will promote anarchy and social chaos. but true freedom is "power to do what you ought " so when we teach on grace and lead people to believe or conclude that "I can sin and get away with it "we are rather turning grace into something filthy or something of immoral desire. Gods grace is an active change agent in our lives, grace does not forgive us but it changes us. we tend to tell people that we are all sinners so do not judge one another for we will be morally pure only after going to heaven..... well it is possible to overemphasize the love of God if we neglect the fear of lord and we are actually told that is the begging of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) I would say that for so long we have been fed with the wrong concept of grace as "unmerited favor" and some have even made it worse by saying "it is getting favor from G...
