Memoirs of a Christian

Hi guys, even I'm tired of this my inconsistency apologies, but since this is called a memoir I'll just simply explain some things which could fly as my indirect apology. Anyways, I'm still thinking of the verse that will factor in so it might come towards the end. These past few days have been really challenging and stressful for me, I've discovered a lot of my failings and weaknesses, so lemme go ahead to dissect them all. My first failing is my inability to balance things, hence, causing all my inconsistencies, okay the verse just crept up into my heart  now, so I'll post later. My life seems to be spiraling out of my control and that is unbalancing me, I used to be able to calculate my moves but now everything is unpredictable. Second, is my routined life, don't get me wrong, I'm an adept follower of being organised but it is eating into my daily life, it's gotten to the extent that even my Bible Study is routined, wait I don't think it can be ...

Hi guys, how are we all doing? I hope we've been having a smooth day. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. The foundation that God has laid stands sure irregardless of the attacks, to shake it and totally destroy it. The seal of the foundation is the fact that God knows those that are His. He's not deceived by our lip service or our tears and emotions expression during meetings. I repeat, He knows those that are His. So therefore if you are claiming affiliation with God you better run away from sin as in japa, totally avoid it and kill your self to live right.

Hi guys, so I was kinda shocked today but lemme reserve my comments. That reminds me, please click the link below to download Swad's new single "Look At Me" http://kingdomboiz.com/download-music-swad-look-at-me-supernatural-me/ . Thanks and God bless. 2 Peter 3:9 Amplified Bible (AMP) 9  The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. KJV says God is not slack concerning His promises as we count slackness. So lemme not focus on we wanting something from God, but lemme deviate to this point. That we've been hearing that Jesus is coming soon and some of us are claiming that they've been saying that since before we were born doesn't discredit the Truth that Jesus is coming.God doesn't delay, He has promised that us that Christ is coming to take us home and that He will d...

Happy new week guys, I'm excited cos it's almost the month end. It arouses a lot of feelings in me.  2 Timothy  2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself. Okay so something great happened to me recently, I was expecting something and I didn't get it so I got discouraged and disappointed. It was so serious that I was already giving up hope in fact I had convinced myself that it wasn't yet time for me to get it. I met my Father and he kept hammering on the fact that I would get the 'something ' within the time frame that I was supposed to get it before. Shey me that was already discouraged? I just kept mumbling my 'Amen' in disbelief, in my mind nothing could change what had happened. God also had His plans and when I finally got the 'something' I was shook. So the essence of all my story is this; no matter how much unbelief is in your heart. No matter how faithless you are, God's word will not go ...

Merry weekend oh, thanks to July for not being so slow. So today I'll cull my leading verse from here; Galatians 6:6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. So those of us that are taught the Word of God are to share all good things with our teachers. I'll also like to add that we should be able to share all bad things with our teachers. Personally I've had to report myself to my teacher, if I fall into temptation I report if I make progress in my Christian walk I also report. Now don't get me wrong. The Bible says to not cause our leaders/teachers sorrow so that when they are giving account to God they will do it with gladness of heart. So ensure that you rarely fall into bad vices, ensure that whenever you are giving teachers this report they pat you on the back or applaud you. A friend recently went to the Primary school she attended and there were a lot of smiles going around, not ...

Hello guys how are you all doing? How's the day going? Hope we're enjoying the weather. Lemme just dive right in the Bible reference will come later on, so lemme share a personal experience I had. There's this friend of mine who is constantly in touch with me and then recently we didn't talk. I kept getting nudging  from the Spirit to call but I was forming one foolish pride. I finally consulted the elders and I was asked a simple question "Two option. Do u follow ur spirit and ask after d person or follow ur flesh and hold to ur pride." As in I didn't even need an answer, I didn't need further talk, I got the gist fast. On calling my friend, turned out pride didn't allow that one too to call me or accuse me of not calling. I'm glad I realized my mistake and amended.  Hebrews 2:1 We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. It is imperative to pay attention and he...

Hi people, I hope our days went pleasantly? “so that in everything you were [exceedingly] enriched in Him, in all speech [empowered by the spiritual gifts] and in all knowledge [with insight into the faith].” 1 CORINTHIANS 1:5 AMP Christ gives us utterance to speak intelligently in all speech (I'm thinking in whatever language or level of understanding) which gets empowered by spiritual gifts. For instance tongues and interpretation of tongues , so your speech will be enriched so that your audience or whoever is listening will understand and relate to your words. Like I typed earlier, your speech will be intelligent full of knowledge, understanding and being able to explain levels of faith and the power of faith. You have an increased insight into faith and your faith journey becomes easier and intelligent. Memoirs of a Christian  © Icequeen 

Hi guys, happy new week, may this week birth great things for us, and may our hearts find joy. Matthew 25:5-6 New International Version (NIV)   The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’   Matthew 25:13 New International Version (NIV) “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. So I know we all admire the 5 wise virgins because they seemed to be prepared, they made ready for in case the bridegroom is a late comer. However, I'd like to share something I learnt from Allison & Choco Hyacintho. This is it, while the other 5 virgins that had extra oil were wise I still want to enjoin us to not be like them, amidst everything the parable shows that they slept. Now let's not forget the 'watch and pray' mandate, so at no point in time should you fall asleep. Instead let us emulate 'the crier'.  Lemme say a bi...

Hi guys, while I'm typing this I'm looking out the window to see that a storm is coming, I just hope I can escape traffic today. Hebrews 12:2 Living Bible (TLB) Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God. With the trend of what is happening right now, I think we need to retrace our steps and remind ourselves of who exactly we are chasing after. A song says "I'll forever be chasing after You". A lot of us have quoted the verse above and sang the song but we've now lost track of it. I'm not saying to not trust anyone but I want us to make sure our focus and gaze is fixed on Jesus. Jesus is our leader and our instructor, He's the example that we are to follow. It's not really nice when He hears stuff like because a Pastor has left the Church you leave with Him or because ...

Good day guys, I hope we're all having a blissful day. Is it just me or this month is unusually on a quick pace. Anyways, God is in control.   Hebrews 12:28-29 The Message (MSG) Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire! We have an unshakable and indestructible kingdom, so we are assured that after all the hustling and bustling here on earth we have a home that can't be unearthed, this is the most important reason to have hearts brimming with thanks and not just that but hearts that have a deep reverence and pay obeisance to God. For He sees our deepest intents, you can't fake your gratitude with God, you can't pay lip service to Him and think He won't notice. He...

 Good day guys, I hope we're all doing great? Lemme first clear this, I've got a lot of people slamming at me because of my inconsistency, I thoroughly apologize once more as that isn't my intention. However, I'm just trying my best, there are a lot of things that can hinge a post, some can be personal and others are largely network issues. Do forgive me, I hope to get better by God. Psalm 9:9-10 The Message (MSG) God ’s a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you’re never sorry you knocked. When I saw this verse in this version, my heart beat doubly fast. It caused me to smile, seriously it comforts me in a kinda way, well it could partly be because its true, or it just sends that intense love of Christ to me in those vague words. I don't think it requires too much talk actually, God is that place where you can feel safe, where you are shielded from the pains and storms of  'the outside'. ...

 Hi guys, forgive me for my inconsistencies, my excuses are making me sound like a broken record and that's not fair on you guys. However, I've been seriously surrounded by some stuffs that I couldn't get my head out of without the help of God Hebrews 12:5 New International Version (NIV) 5  And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,      and do not lose heart when he rebukes you 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline —then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. I'm referencing from two verses because they both speak of my intent today. I dunno if I should start a comparison but lemme ask, remember how now that you're all grown up, some of those things your parents were beating you up over have now paid out. How you finally thank God that they scolded you or beat you t...

Hi guys, how are we all doing? I hope the rain and the cold isn't getting to us. Please be fine.   Hebrews 6:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)  T herefore let us get past the elementary stage in the teachings about the Christ, advancing on to maturity and perfection and spiritual completeness, [doing this] without laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, So a lot of us since we've been born again we've not moved past the repentance stage, I mean every year back to back we are rededicating our lives to God. We haven't gone past the confession and elementary stage, we are still there, amassing Bibles at every Altar Call, or books that are given to those who give their lives. We aren't advancing, we aren't maturing, we still are among those that live by the mantra 'no one is perfect' so don't have the drive to become better or become perfect.   Many of us are not even spiritually whole, incomplete, not having a re...

So I wanna bring back a post that speaks about where I was about this time last year. I don't fancy being a writer that scolds or exhorts and doesn't accept his/her faults. I recall a time I posted the 'no food, no water before studying the Bible'. But it's sad to say I couldn't keep up, I got engrossed in my activities for the day. The devil made me feel so bad about this that every time I tried to study, I felt like I had failed God and that He'd be very disappointed in me; so I'd leave studying for the next day asserting that I'd do it right. But I never did it right and I lagged behind in studying my Bible weekly. So I determined one day that I'd study my Bible no matter what. I came across this verse that day: . 2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life- not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. I realized then t...

 Happy New Month guys, I hope we're pumped and ready for the second half of the year, don't worry you'll be surprised at how good it'll turn out. Psalm 42.5 Why be discouraged and sad? Hope in God! I shall yet praise him again. Yes, I shall again praise him for his help So as the second half begins, some of us feel pressured, remember all those New Year resolutions? How far na? How many have you ticked off? How many are in view? And how many do you think will likely be carried over? We all said this and that and now those things just seem so far away. Lemme say what I've always been saying, don't lose faith His thoughts for us are good. So recently, I was beat down by a news, and lemme confess and like David here, I got discouraged and sad, I allowed a stream of tears, I allowed pessimism, I allowed fear to cloud my praise, however, in the midst of my catching feelings I heard this voice quietly within me saying "but you said, win or lose, you'll s...
