Christ At The Center


The key to a victorious life is to have Jesus at the very center. It is only when Jesus is at the center of my life that I will have the peace of God. When Christ is at the center of my life, it means He has the highest priority and I do all things to please Him. Whether I eat and drink I will then do all for His glory. Many of us are not experiencing joy in the Lord because even though we go to church, self is at the center of our lives. We do everything to please self at the expense of Christ. How to put Christ at the center of my life is our topic for today

Our hearts have place for only one ruler🤴🏾! Either Jesus or self will rule my heart. We all were born with self as the ruler of our hearts. You can see in a new born baby. A baby has no concern for the welfare of his mother. A baby only cares about me. I want milk and I want it now! I want to sleep and I want to now. All humanity are selfish in nature and unless there is a profound transformation in the heart, unless Christ comes in and overthrow the tyrant self from the throne of my heart, I will live life only to please myself. Even the good I do will be about pleasing self or promoting self.
We are all selfish by nature 

How do I know if self is enthroned in my heart 🤴🏾? I know self is enthroned in my heart when I am my highest priority. When what I want and need are my driving force. I want to go there, I want to marry this person, I want to divorce my spouse, I want to buy this house, I want to cut off this friend, I want to be happy, I I I, it's all about my want, my needs and my desires. The desires of God only comes into play if it will help my desires. So I go to church because I think God will bless me. I pray because I want something from God. I want God to be the vehicle for my success. When self is in charge, disaster will surely follow 

But when Christ is at the center my life will experience a revolution. Now before I do anything, I will go to the Lord and ask for His counsel and guidance. How do I know when Christ is at the center of my life ? It is when I'm looking for a spouse 👰🏽 and say Lord, I want a spouse, make me ready for one and choose one for me when the time is right and help me be a blessing to my spouse . Lord I want a job, prepare me for one, choose one for me and help to be a witness for you there . Lord I have plan to move there, but only allow it of it will please you. Lord, help me to dress in a way that pleases you. Lord, help me to eat healthy because my body is your temple. 

Lord, keep me from sinning against you for I am yours and your mines and  I want to be faithful to you ❤.  I know Christ is at the center of my life because when I'm having a good day I say thank you Jesus and when I am having a bad day I say help me Jesus. Christ is at the center of my life when I involved Him in every decision that I make whether big or small. Christ is at the center of my life when it's no longer I that live but Christ who lives in me. As I involve the Lord in all that I do, then self is being dethroned and Christ is being enthroned 🤴🏾, now His peace will flow through my life because His kingdom of peace is reigning in my soul. Christ at the center is the  way to peace


Galatians  2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

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
