DELIVERED with TRUTH but NOT set FREE.

There was a time in my life, I questioned why I would sin against God and go back the next week to ask for forgiveness then dream of all the things I would quit physically but mentally still invited. At some point i grew bitter,i would medicate, talk to myself about how i am the biggest joker of the year for not having a stand, sometimes i would cry or laugh at myself .when the day is over i would calculate all the things i wasn't meant to think, act, and Speak. I distanced myself from asking for forgiveness from God because I knew I wasn't sure to be faithful the next week. I asked some persons why we would willingly sin and still go back to God when we could quit most of the sins we asked for forgiveness unfortunately their answers did not justify the reasons. I finally discovered I cheated on God countless times because I could and I was enslaved in the mentality that the love and blood he shed will speak for my sins and save me from hell. A misguided conception.

God's love should not make you continue to live in sin. This is taking God's love for granted.

(hebrew 10:25-31) don't be fooled, whatever a man sow he will reap. 


Our past sins can so greatly consume our present that it makes no difference if we run or change environment. It's hard to change without mental transformation .

quoting Dr. Myles " Without mental TRANSFORMATION, the actions we take to "change" may only produce a new place where we will continue to do our OLD things. 


I disregarded my ways, taking no responsibility at heart for the wrong deeds. I was selfish to myself and God, mostly to myself because obeying God's command is mostly for our own good. Many have been oppressed by their sins to say, "I can't be holy, i am a worm hoping for heaven and I hope I make it to heaven because I certainly can't be righteous on earth, I will sit and wait or do the little I can. The other would say I can't be freed from the sin so I am waiting for God's appointed time to miraculously free me from this sin. The funny and annoying one will say, don't teach me the words of God so if I go to hell, I will receive small punishment. Yes ! It's only God that can speedily convert a soul, but to change over night is your collective effort to listen and obey truth, but are all hands equal? will you sit, wait and remain in all kinds of sin?


John 14:15 KJV

If ye love me, keep my commandments.


John 14:21 KJV

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.                

John 14:23-24 KJV

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.


I was motivated yesterday when I heard the priest reading the part when Jesus asked Peter do you love me ? Then he said feed my lamb.what do you love ? Whatever you love , you will grow and resemble it. Our love is tested by God through sacrifice in every way.


We all like things done the way we want trust me I love things done my way but we forget this life is not our own to do as we please because we are bought with a price. We owe it to God now more than ever to love him by doing his every command. It is a privilege for God to have thought of man and created. I pray that the good lord will bless you exceedingly and remove you from every hold of sin. Amen

Cultivating the act of reading

  Children are born, devoid of understanding and knowledge hoping to learn about the world they live in. It is left for our parents to help them seek the foundation of all knowledge. But our parents were devoid of such understanding because they were not enlighten with true foundation of knowledge. Many of our parents died not tapping into true knowledge because of their negligence to books and a spoken word from people who have studied life. Treasures of the world lies in a written paper so also the secrets of the world lies in the heart and mouth of a personality but the best means to pass these treasures to the world is by a written note, for anyone who desires to have them will seek for it in books. Our Ignorance to study books, to find information and knowledge affects our effectiveness to the world. Alot of people have been inspired by God to write mysterious writing that only a few can explain but this words are buried in the life of some people because they hate the thought of

Our Expectation Of Heaven.

God is the Creator of all things and His creation is extraordinary. He derives joy in His prefect works, we are living proof of His beautiful works so how much more the splendid creation we are yet to see in His kingdom. With God’s spirit, His knowledge and power we can do a lot of things here on earth like explain our dwelling place, our planet , explore the hidden minerals and elements and a lot more. We are able to create many things here on earth, how much more when we dwell in His kingdom, we will be cable of creating what God wills for us.              I wonder why we think the way we do and have forgotten the scripture. He said I will create a new earth and heaven where there would be no sickness and many promised things .Yet we ponder ignorantly saying how will heaven be like if it entails worshipping God alone, it would be boring they would say ,God forbids such thought. God created us hence what we think proceeds from the heart He created, He sees how we think and our imagina
