Faithfulness

Image
The Holy Spirit laid the word  faithfulness  upon my heart. What is faithfulness? The Oxford dictionary describes it as "remaining loyal and steadfast". Does that sound like a character trait you possess?  Are you faithful with what God has given you? Are you faithful during the tough times? Are you faithful with the little that you have?  If I asked you to rate your level of faithfulness on a scale of 1-10, what would your answer be? Would you confidently answer me with a loud voice saying "It's a ten" , or would you rate yourself highly in order to avoid embarrassment? The truth is that a majority of people are faithful only when its convenient for them. Imagine if that was the case with Jesus. Just imagine if He decided not to die for us on the cross because of the pain He was to endure. The fact that He (Jesus Christ) died on the cross for our sins shows His faithfulness amongst other things; it shows us that He went through great lengths in order to rec...

Your faith is needed ...

Ever felt like your life was dry and that you are not where you should be in life? Well, that was me yesterday. I felt as if I'm behind in life and that nothing major was happening for me, but moments later these questions came to mind: "Are you full of faith?" "Do you believe that God is able? ". That's the same thing that I'm asking you. Those two questions reminded me of the simple fact that God works with our faith (Hebrews 11). We need to continue to believe that God is able to do the impossible because it is through those miracles that God will draw people to Himself. People are watching our lives & our faith is needed to produce testimonies. I wanna challenge you to dream big & believe that God is able to do the impossible. - K 💕 

'Money makes the world go around'

I was scrolling through Instagram during the day and a few things caught my attention. I noticed how a majority of the people are all about making money whether it be through promoting a certain product, or by merely being an 'influencer'. Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that wanting to make money is a sin, but what I am saying is that we need to have a heart check. "But they that will be rich fall into a temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. " - 1 Timothy 6: 9-10. I'd like to point a few things out about that passage of scripture: Firstly, it speaks of the rich and not the poor people. So poor people are excluded from the temptation that's mentioned above. The reason why, only the rich will fall into that t...

Do you truly love Him?

Image
One of the things that I do often that others consider "deep" is that I question myself. I question my motives. A recent question that I asked myself whilst listening to a song was this: "Do you truly love Him?" "Do you love Jesus?" I pondered the question for a while ... The reason for my pondering was not that I do not love Jesus, but it was simply because I did not want to lie to myself. We can be deceived into thinking that we truly love Jesus merely because of the scriptures we post on social media (which anyone can do) or because of our church attendance. There's nothing wrong with doing any of those things, but they are just not a good indication of whether or not someone loves Jesus.           "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him"- John 14:21 (KJV)                ...

Why are you letting your mind wander?

One moment you're thinking about how far you have come, the next is about the amount of work you still need to catch-up on, or what you will be having for lunch.The truth is that I have been guilty of doing this quite often. I have been guilty of letting my mind wander which has also had an impact on my emotions. What exactly does it mean to "let your mind wander?" According to Phrase Finder, it means to let whatever thought come into your mind without you directing those thoughts. This explanation makes something clear to us: we have to control our thought-life. How do we do that? Lets find out from the scriptures.  2 Corinthians 10:5 says "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."   "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought...
