It's hard for you to kick against the pricks!

 Matthew  21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder


There are people whose forte is to criticize and find fault in anything that has to do with the church of Jesus Christ. The funny and ironic part of this is that some of these people are also 'Christians', then you wonder what Christianity are these folks practising. Some work for media houses, and sometimes are told to write against a certain Pastor or a certain Ministry, and then they go ahead. Some also use their social media platforms to make derogatory remarks on Churches, this ought not to be so. The scripture above comes to my mind every time I see these things, Jesus in His admonition said in paraphrase "anyone who falls on the stone(the church) will be broken, and then anyone who the stone(the church) falls upon will be crushed to powder",  this is huge. So many people wonder why they have seemingly made low progress over the years, some don't know they're suffering from certain actions they did against the Church in the past. The Church is connected to Jesus Christ, whatever affects the Church affects Jesus Christ. I love what Jesus told Paul on his way to Damascus. He said Acts  9:5 "...I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." . Paul had been persecuting Christians prior to this encounter, but when Jesus would appear yo Him, Jesus said He(Paul) was persecuting Him, such glorious identifying! If you've developed an habit of talking against the Church, you should desist from it. Yes, there are certain times some 'Churches' do certain things not in line with God's word, but if it's a Church that has its principles from the Bible, refrain from speaking against such, lest you're broken or crushed to powder. Do have a great day ahead

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
