A Faithful Keeper


This is another gentle reminder for anyone who struggles, for anyone who thinks their resolve to stand firm in the faith is being stretched thin. It is for anyone who feels they are hanging on to a rope that's slowly breaking.

Here is your gentle reminder:

1 Thessalonians 5 : 23-24: Now may the God of peace HIMSELF sanctify you completely,  and may your whole body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He who calls you is faithful, He will surely do it. (emphasis mine)


Keep trusting and believing in God to sanctify you completely. He will do it as you obey Him and let Him guide you.

Amen.

Love,

Carts & Horses

This post is inspired from a movie called Wasted Oil, a Nigerian Gospel movie that I am currently watching as I type. "...And seek the Kingdom of God first, and righteousness,  and all other things will be added unto you" The word and   is used in a place of succession similar to then, thereafter, afterwards, so that- these are words and phrases used to describe what will come in the latter, a consequence of an action. It's usual to misinterpret this verse as the word and has been replaced mentally with the likes of as, whilst, during- words that show simultaneity. Think of carts attached to horses. A cart is not pushed forward by the horses muzzle, instead, it is drawn from behind the horse's saddle. The cartwright has designed it that the cart will be (nearly) impossible to move if pushed forward. And so it is for us; consequences do not come before actions. Deuteronomy 8:1 "Obey faithfully... so that you may live" There is alw...

Book Review: The Spider King's Daughter

I was excited when I read on my BBM updates that this book was going to be made available to the public to enjoy last week. Soon after I had asked the author where I could get the book, I made my way to the University's Waterstones with a wide grin on my face. The inquisitive shop-attendant broke the news that it had not been stocked on our rural shelves yet, so he asked that I order it and expect it within two days. It came the next day.  My reading of The Spider King's Daughter was crammed into short breaks between typing up laboratory reports and essays at first, but something had to give. I finished the book that day. It is a page-turner and for a reader as myself who likes all the details on every page to sink in, I had to make sacrifices. Though the book's title gives the opinion that "daughter" is the main character, in my opinion the book is a coalition of many different characters, each receiving a good share of limelight. Abike, t...

Anxiety's Antidote

I found myself fretting about a LOT of things last week. There were bills to pay, deadlines to meet, relationships to build all in a world where each day is filled with uncertainty. The fear of the future got to me like it had never before; I was drowning in my worries about life. But GOD in His mercy heard me even before I prayed for help. I had only just started to notice that my fretting was becoming a problem when GOD spoke to me through His Son. He first reminded me to cast my anxieties on Him because He cares for me ( 1 Peter 5:7 ). I read that but it didn't really sink in. Then, the next day, He reminded me of His promises in Matthew 6:25-34: "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" The writer of the devotional stated, "Since your body and life are more complex and difficult to provide than f...
