Lord, I can’t stop sinning

  I have been spiritually slacking lately, I’ve just found myself confronted with a lot of sin. Laziness being my biggest adversary. Now I am not about to start excusing sin, but I had to come to terms with some things the past couple of weeks; I will not be sinless and sin is not the centre of my relationship with God. I read Romans 7 and in the last verse Paul says with the mind, he serves the law of God but with the flesh the law of sin (Romans 7:25). This reminded me of the fact that my flesh is not my friend. It will not willingly submit to the things of God and sometimes I may fail to crucify it but, my Lord, He gives me grace to stand up and try again. See, the mind and the flesh exist in in spite of each other, which will always be the case, so do not be surprised when your flesh demands certain things after God convicts you. Do not let the demands of your flesh separate you from God, your shortcomings are nothing new to God, He does not care, and they are not the cen...

In the presence of a Miracle

  Sometimes I find myself very complacent in the face of the Lord. I forget who exactly I am talking to when I am before my Saviour. I came across a song: Miracle by Sondae and Elle Limebear. I realised during this song that I am indeed standing in the presence of a miracle. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and on the third day, He rose from the dead (Matthew 28:5- He is risen). By the power of God, He rose from the dead. Guys, I don’t think you get this, He was not ended by death, He rubbed deaths face on the ground. My friends, you are standing in the presence of a Man who rose from the dead. The Spirit that dwells in you rose a Man from the dead! You are standing in the presence of a miracle. My God has performed a beautiful miracle, He has risen my Lord from the dead with the power of the Holy Spirit and then He gave that Spirit to me (Romans 8:11). How many miracles has He performed that I just walk past? How many times does the Holy Spirit manifest His powe...

Let My people go so that they may serve Me

  Are you really in your 20s if you haven’t had an identity crisis?   I related to the sentiments in Ecclesiastes before even reading the book. Life is meaningless, and everything is vanity. Why do we even exist and what exactly do we strive for? I was going through a depressive state. Who was I? I barely knew my goals and I really just did not want to continue trying to do anything, to live really.   I carried a very heavy weight, failure, regret and longing. I failed with the opportunities I was given, I regretted not taking chances and I longed for so much better for myself. And despite all this longing, this strong desire, I found myself doing nothing. I didn’t try, and the few times I did try, it wasn’t hard enough. So, what did I do? I just pretended I didn’t care, I masked my fear of failure, the fact that I had already rejected myself, in - you guessed it - being nonchalant. I’d just pretend I’m chill with everything then lie on my bed and lament. Then I rea...

An infinite and complete God

  Recently, I have found myself confused at the fact that God is infinite but whole. Think of a circle, it is a complete shape, no gaps, no breaks just continuous. You cannot tell where it begins or ends, it goes on forever but it is in fact complete. You know when something is whole or complete, it suggests it is done. But that’s the thing God isn’t done, there’s always a new side of Him to discover. There’s loads and loads that He wants to tell us, about Himself, about how He sees us and so much more. I don’t think we can get used to God, because to be quite honest even our prophets in the Bible who had served him from the womb still marvelled at His glory, I mean angels in Heaven spend eternity singing His blessings. Wouldn’t they get tired if it was the same songs over and over again? It isn’t, because God is so full of glory that eternity isn’t enough to appreciate all of it. And that’s just His gloriousness. What about His holiness? His love? His mercy? Grace, generosit...
