IT'S MY RACE

This Christian race is a big deal fam!! So many Christians with so many different beliefs on how to truly serve this our one true God. Honestly, it can get tiring! Like..."ahahnn; what is it sef,  I'm not doing again!!"

Different doctrines everywhere. Sheeesh!! Sometimes I hear some things and have to make a conscious effort not to be judgemental.  There's too much of that in the Christendom already. I guess with no harm intended though. *sigh

There are people every where telling you how you are supposed to be serving God. Some people stop going to church not because it's not a bible believing church but because they have focused on the preacher and not God. They forget that even preachers too are human. Before a preacher is a preacher, he's human first. So don't expect him or her to be perfect. Personally, I don't believe that's fair! You are not perfect, are You? Yet you claim to be a Christian right? So why would you be expecting a preacher or religious leader to be perfect? Are they God? Plus God uses imperfect people. Don't you think?

See ehn, I believe this Christian race or better still, the Christian journey; as my friend would rather call it, is a process. You don't just accept Christ and then immediately depart from all your evil ways! No. It's something you spend your whole life making a conscious effort to achieve with the help of God. Christianity as some people say is a life style. Sometimes you'll falter, other times, you won't. What matters most is your desire not to falter! And repenting when you do. You have to keep striving to be the best you can be. Don't allow the world put all the pressure on you.

Our relationship with God is individual. It's not you, your pastor and God, or you, your partner and God, or you, your parents and God. It is you, yourself and God!!  Don't look left or right. Don't allow the world to confuse you. The Bible has been made available for us. BLESS Jesus for that. Eat, sleep, digest the bible. Invite the holyspirit to help you in your journey. He is also readily available. (Jer.33v3). Bless Jesus again for that.

The most important thing in our Christian race I believe is LOVE!! It works magic people. Has anyone out there ever been in love? It's a beautiful feeling! Your lover can do no wrong by you. You are more often than not willing to forgive no matter the circumstance. You want your lover to be constantly happy. This person has a huge influence on you. His/her mood, decisions and actions affect yours. You constantly want to be with this person. You are quick to defend this person's name. Infact, in your mind, no one can ever love this person better than you; so you don't need anybody telling you how to love this person!!

Did you get that? I believe each person has a unique and special relationship with God. If you have this Love for God, you will not be fazed by what you hear anywhere. You'll be like, "I know my lover and I don't need anyone to validate Him or my relationship with him! Period. I would like to add here also that faith comes with love among other things.

My aim is to make heaven on the last day taking as many people as possible along with me. So I will have faith that my lover will never forsake me and will always guide me in line with his will and word. I believe that no matter how much I falter or digress, He remains faithful to bring me back on track. I believe in Him that He loves me enough to want me with Him in eternity. Hence, He will constantly have my back and show me the truth and way, so long as I keep loving Him.

Don't be downcast if the world is making you feel like an outcast Christian because you are not serving or loving God the way they have been taught to. Hogwash!! All you need to do is Love Him. Trust me on this, we definitely always want to know whomever it is we love better. So strive to know Him more. Psalm 42 vs 1

I hope this makes sense to someone. Like I always say, I'm not perfect, I don't have all the right answers, I'm not always correct but I'll say it anyhow and hope that despite all these flaws, the holyspirit would interpret my banters and make them add value to someone out there.

So in conclusion, I believe that our relationship with God is like a marriage. So many people with their different opinions and advice. It's okay to listen, but always remember, what works for couple A might not work for couple B and what doesn't work for couple C might work for couple D. The most important ingredient is LOVE! It'll keep you going. John 4 vs 15 - 21

Good news though, God is such a sweetheart, He has made it so easy for us, because He first loved us. So much so he gave His only begotten son. John. 3 v 16. What greater love is there, fam?!!! If not for anything, how about you start from loving Him because He first loved you. Your race would be so much easier and sweeter. You'll experience Him in all His glory!

If there's anybody out there feeling like an outcast believer, feeling unworthy. Hey! Lighten up. Don't give up because of people around you. FOCUS! Determine to keep running after God. Don't look left or right. No matter how hard it seems. Keep your eyes on Him.

Here's a beautiful song by Todd Dulaney "(I'll keep) running to you". Make it your anthem. Not too many words make up the song. But the few ones that do,  are meaningful and powerful!! Find the lyrics and video below. Don't forget to sing along. Enjoy.

Spread the love people.
