So, I watched the movie; The Train on Sunday and I was all shades of reactions, from ahhing to wowing. At some points I prayed, laughed, spoke to the person beside me and had deep thoughts within myself. The movie chronicles the real life story of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, and it is a movie indeed for the season. Anybody who truly wants to know the definition of Purpose, must watch it. Anyone who wants to know the meaning of Walking with God, must watch it.  Purpose is not Instagram photos! Purpose is Death! You die to your senses and fleshly desires! Purpose is Crazy Faith! Purpose is giving yourself up! Purpose is being foolish in the eyes of man and seeing through the eyes of God. Watching the movie, I learnt so many lessons and I would love to share some here: 1. The Rocky Christian Journey:  The Christian Journey is not an all smooth or all rosy one. There are road bumps on the road, and it  takes the mercies of God and deep faith to walk it through.

I have found joy Sweet, sweet joy! I remember When I still struggled With life Trying to figure things out All by myself Trying to live life By my rules Serving myself Uh, subtle idolatry! Trying to fulfil My selfish desires Consumed with "I" Then satisfaction fled Nothing worked out Confusion set in He then told me... Lay it all down Give it away It was hard! It was difficult To let go It was difficult To stop being in control But it paid off! Clarity came Joy was restored Oh, how soothing it is When we trust God Joy! Pure joy Awaits us! Trust in his leading Lay it down! Who is in charge of your life? You or God?  Give all your plans away, let Him direct the course of your life, and you would see that He makes lives beautiful! 

Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.  Psalms 46:10a TPT So many of us, in the process of trying to live life and fulfil destiny, we find ourselves making plans of our own and all. And many times, this leads to anxiety, especially when things do not work out as intended. However, God is saying "Be silent, stop depending on your intelligence to figure life out, stop striving because I want you to thrive. Depend on me! Be still!"  To be still means, to wait upon God and not to struggle with his will. To be still, is to trust his instructions even when they sound weird.  To be still, is to stop struggling and give it all unto Him. Be still and you would indeed experience his Supremacy as God! Be still in this new month! Selah! Happy New Month!

Have you seen a little child who is on the verge of slipping, and on getting hold of the mother's wrapper clutches to it? There is a way the child clings to the mother, to show the trust and confidence he or she has in her(the mother).  That should be the same way we rely on, lean on, trust in, confide in and cleave unto God. Trusting in the Lord does not have to be when we are comfortable. In fact, tough situations that we encounter are what really proves whether we trust in the Lord or not. At times, we would encounter some things and our faith is so weakened that we begin to wonder if there is a God in heaven. Life may become harsh, people may seem unfair and unkind, we may be mocked and challenged just like King Hezekiah. However, as children of God, there is a security that comes with trusting God. Even when life seems rude, there is this confidence we have, that makes us stand firm just like David in front of Goliath. 2 Kings 18:5-7  He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so

Light of the world Who are you? What life do you carry? What kind of fire burns in you? What light do you possess? Light of the world Bringing bare The works of darkness Exposing principalities Making a public show of them Exposing the intents of men Expelling forces of darkness Light of the world Igniting life and grace Emitting the fragrance of love Dispelling evil Rendering to naught Spells of wickedness The life you carry  Is for a purpose How intentional are you About it? The fire burning  In you Is not for that alone How much have you  Affected your world? How well have you  Spread Christ? How well have you shown Christ To a dying world A dark world An helpless world A confused world In desperate search for answers Dear, light bearer Arise!  Shine! The Glory of your God Indeed is upon you!

Having and dealing with some emotions as a Christian. So, I had a very intelligent and interesting conversation with a friend, about having certain emotions and dealing with them as a Christian. And I would like to share some of the things I gained from the conversation. Let's go... So, we were talking about having certain thoughts, feelings and emotions as believers and how God can help us deal with them.  Having emotions and catching feelings is very normal. Yeah! Infact, like my friend said, if you don't have them, then we should ask you questions. However, what you do with those emotions is what matters . I remember when I was younger, I had a couple of crushes, lol. Maybe not a couple sha, I had quite a number. And looking back now, the truth is, I can't even remember what fascinated me about those people then, not to talk about still being fascinated by them now. So, what then is the use? Now, beyond having a crush, it could occur that you begin to develop
