Legacy Series

Have you ever wondered how the negative occurrences that took place in your childhood didn't take you out? Some of us did really terrible things when we were young... I'm trying hard not to shake this table but I actually heard of someone who, while playing, locked himself up in the freezer when he was young! How did he survive it?! God alone knows!  Well, as I was saying before the diversion, some of us did terrible things when we were young but for some others, terrible things happened to us. Some were abused physically, sexually, mentally etc. in their childhood, some had a child/children out of wedlock, some were terribly ill, some experienced difficulties in learning, some had their parents abandon them, and some people (like me😂) were rescued from 'falling' into a relationship that would have landed them where they shouldn't be. Everyone has a different story to tell, but did it ever occur to you that you're standing because somehow those things didn'...

Welcome!🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊 I have titled this post Practice Hospitality, because  all the points we will discuss, except one, relate to this.  Also, these lessons were taken from Romans 13 (NLT). There are many beautiful lessons in that passage (and I'd love to see your own lessons in the comments😉), but I major on just four of them in this post. Let's dive in! 🌲"Always be eager to practice hospitality ." (V 13b) You may not like being hospitable, you may not know how to do it, or you may be a novice at doing it. Whichever is your case, practicing it will make you better at it. Keep doing it! Make it a job .

Ordinary may imply "not your typical friend", but we are to be hospitable to them anyway. I'm sur...

Welcome to the month of March!!! If you have read through the Old Testament, you would find out that what was predominant among the Israelites was the fear of God. (Gen 20:11, Exo. 1:17, 1 Chron. 16:25, Job 1:1 etc) Ah! The people feared God! By fear, I mean the kind of feeling you have when you’ve just been caught after doing something terrible. It’s a terrified feeling. That’s the kind I’m talking about here. But you see, this kind of relationship is limited; very limited. That’s why you find out that the Israelites kept returning to their vomit. Asides the fact that they had not been empowered to live above sin as the Holy Spirit was only upon a few people, their ‘fearful relationship” with God was a great hindrance to them. On the other hand, the New Testament shows us a better way around our relationship with God; the more excellent way. LOVE. A Christian who has only recently given his/her life to Christ may begin at the stage of the fear of God however, if h...
