The need for community 👥

 The Christian life is not easy. It is a battle and a March. And in every battle we need others to help us along. An army is not made up of one man 💂🏽‍♂️, an army is a community of people, who are together, fighting for a common goal.

You need a community. The idea of going it alone is not Christian, God made us social creatures. The Lord said " it is not good that man should be alone ", this does not simply refers to marriage but to life. We were designed for relationships, for community. The Christian life is about relationships, community 

It was when Eve was alone that the Devil 🐍 was able to tempt her and overcome her and so it is when Christian isolate themselves from community that the Devil is able to tempt them and destroy their faith. Show me a Christian who isolate him or herself and  you will see  someone who will soon apostasize

Community keeps us accountable, community strengthen us, community encourages us, community teaches us how to have relationships with others, community remove selfishness from us because we have to deal with people who are different, who see things differently from us. Those who reject community are easy prey for the Devil 😈

Friends, as we are living in these last days, many will become apostate, will abandon the assembly of the brethren and be easy picking for the Devil. But as for you, pray God for a godly community. Wherever you go, seek to develop spiritual communities, link up with people, do Bible study together, engage in activities together and you will grow spiritually. 

Dont fight against the Devil alone,  God wants us to fight together, to strengthen one another in the battle against sin. Jesus say abide in Him, He is the vine and we are the branches, all who are Christ's disciples will be part of a community, but all who reject godly community will find themselves withering slowly away from Christ and fellow believers 

So friends, pray for a godly  community, make friends with other Christians, have Bible study with other Christians, have weekly fellowship with them,share the struggles of the week with them and you will find yourself encouraged, strengthen in your walk with Christ. Do not forsake the assembly of the brethren, build communities.

The idolatry of marriage: a recipe for disaster

 People are suffering, loneliness is rampant in the land. Many people in the world look to marriage as a savior, an institution that will rescue them from their loneliness. They think finally i will have someone I can call mine, someone who will love me with all their hearts until death do us apart 🤗. But the increasing divorce rates tell a different story. A story of marriage being difficult, a story of many married people being miserable , lonely , bitter and see divorce as a viable option to escape the misery they find themselves in. A story of many preferring to live together instead of getting married.  Marriage has become a scary thing in the land. Marriage for many has become synonymous with losing half your wealth and your children. But why has marriage become so destructive to many ? Why has something as beautiful as marriage become such a terror to many 🤔? It is because marriage has become an idol to many. Marriage has become a god to many in the church and in the world. Sa

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful

What do you bring to the table ?

 Man and woman are both made in the image of God.  Man and woman are both valuable and equal in worth but are not the same.I repeat, man and woman are not the same. There is an attempt in our culture to make man and woman the same, it's nothing but a Satanic assault to destroy the beauty of God's creation . Man and woman are different for a reason. Each reveal different qualities of the Godhead. When a man and woman come together in the way of God, real beauty will be revealed. Man and woman offer different things in a relationship. What do you bring to the table 🤔?  Is the question many are asking when it comes to choosing a spouse . According to the Bible the man is to provide for the woman and the woman is to be a help meet to the man. A help meet is a perfect match for someone. The woman is to match her husband,  completing him, making him stronger, being strong where he is weak . The man is supposed to provide financially, security,  stability. The man is to provid
