Be valiant for the truth

 


Our world is sinking deeper into spiritual darkness. Falsehood has grown strong in the land. People don't want to hear the truth anymore and I'm not only speaking about spiritual truth but any truth at all. People love lies and deceits, because lies and deceits make them feel better about themselves. The truth is hard to swallow, so people hate the truth and many stay far away from it. Many call those who speak the truth, haters. When you tell them the truth, they say you are spreading negativity.

And so it is in this climate of falsehood that God has called us to be a witness for the truth. To proclaim the truth boldly, to attack the lies and set the captives free. The Christian must be valiant for the truth. The Christian cannot be a coward, for the Christian is a servant of God, a soldier of the Most High 💂🏾‍♂️ and as such he must follow the orders of His Sovereign. And the order the Lord has given us is to go throughout all the world to spread the gospel of  Jesus Christ and make disciples.

The Christian must be brave for he must preach the truth to a world that love lies, righteousness to a world that love sin and wickedness. The Christian must be brave for he must be able to face scorn and ridicules while calling sin by it's right name. The Christian must not spare, he must not show partiality,  but must preach the truth of God wherever he is sent or to whomever he is sent. The Christian must be valiant for the truth.

The Christian must resist the temptation to be a people pleaser when it comes to the truth . He must resist the temptation to preach what people want to hear, but preach what the Lord has commanded him. The Christian must not be afraid of losing friends or people being offended by the preaching of the truth. The gospel is naturally offensive to those who are in darkness, to those who hate the truth. Preaching the truth will naturally separate many people from you, but preach it  you must as a faithful soldier of the Lord 


And finally in order to be valiant for the truth, the Christian must be a man or woman of prayer 🙏🏾. The Christian must be connected with God, the source of all strength. It is only after we have bowed before the eternal King we will have the boldness, the firmness to stand against men, against overwhelming storm of wickedness and falsehood in the land. In daily communion with God the true Christian receive wisdom on how to speak, what to say and receive the strength to go out as valiant warrior to fight the battles. The true Christian is mighty because he or she abides under the shadow of the Almighty. 

Be valiant for the Lord, spread the truth near and far

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
