Become Who You Are

-

Hello Disciple, Good Morning!

How are you keeping today?

Let me say this at the start as a daily reminder: we are a special people, people of purpose, and our identity and self-worth are not derived from what we do, our failures, or what we have achieved in life. Our true identity is what God calls us. We are called His children; we are called righteous; we are forgiven; we are called saints; we are anointed; we are blessed; we are called sons of God; we are called a new creation, etc. This is our true identity in Christ. Read the Word and take a deep dive into our true identity.

For too many years, we have ruminated on our failures of the past and the worries about the future and forgotten to meditate on our new identity in Christ.
I know we have gone through a tough journey in life; as a result, we have built an understanding of who we are based on our experiences. Sadly, most of us are living out what we have nurtured in our minds.

No matter how hard life may have been, we can start the process of change today and now. That's the good news! As children of God, we have the Holy Spirit working in us to bring us back to order from chaos. Do you remember the Genesis 1 creation account? The Holy Spirit moved over the chaos and brought order. So now, let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us and bring us back to order in every area of our lives.

The best part is we can become better every day in this journey. Let us be intentional to stop rehearsing our past or getting anxious about your future; rather, look at the Word,  meditate, and rejoice over who we are in Christ Jesus. This is the starting point TO BECOME WHO YOU ARE!

We will take a look at some more in the future posts.

Please share this post with others and feel free to EMAIL or MESSAGE me on WhatsApp.

Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
