ARE WE REALLY REAL

-

Being a young, vibrant and active young Pastor actually taught me a lot about is actually real. 

Are we actually real to God, real to our families, real to our communities and most importantly real to ourselves.

The church today in the dark ages found itself in a situation, the muslims have taken over the europe and they were coming to the Roman empire to take over. If they would have won the war then the Europe would have fully been truned into muslim continent. It was through the Charles that the war was won using the name of Jesus to go to war. At that point and time the church had  to be real, they were faced up with the greatest war that they have ever seen and if they loose then the priests were going to die along with their temples and many other people, they had to be real.

What do i mean?

I am beginning to understand that situation are meant to help us to be true to ourselves,  true to who we are and who God is. So many of us think that we know and understand but God is trying to show us that we actually don't know. When  we look in to the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet, he (according to John) has just been notified of who is going to betray him, so he took his cloth or towel and washed the feet of his disciples showing them that they need to love one another and wash each others feet no matter what ones has done. Basically he was saying Judas I know you're going to sell me out for a slave change and Peter I know you're going to deny me three times, Thomas I know you're going to doubt me. Yet I want you to know that I love you and you are included I  my work and in my Kingdom.

Peter repented and went back to Jesus and Thomas believed but Judas never returned. Jesus was teaching that we need to love those who hate us, those who kill us, those who curse you, those who want you dead, those who discourage you and those who wish you the worst. Love them and wash their feet.

1. How many of the people have you rejected because they are not saved?
2. How many of the people have you wished bad things should happen to them?
3. How many of the people have you ignored going to church?

Christians need to be real, Christianity is for all!!!

“HOPE LIES AT TIMES.” Life is a gentle breeze, however, we got through day to day knowing that another day is not promised. What we should have is faith, either faith in the Devine or faith in yourself. Faith therefore encourages  the idea of hope, there your doctrine begins, in hope. Every day we live, we learn and we are given the opportunity to improve. So many of us made mistakes when we were younger and now there is no turning back. Many might say, hey don’t worry there is always time to do better and improve. However, the reality is thus, time waits for no man. You may believe in the Devine, you may believe in yourself, you may think you can make it happen, or even think something will get better. Yet, the reality is that time waits for no man. This is where hope comes in. You see the purpose of hope is to help you believe that for sure something better is on its way. Someone or something is noticing your struggle and will soon assist. 1 year goes by, 5 years ...

“RUNNING CAN BE A WASTE” Life is quite a funny long tale.  Waking up this morning the first thing I said to my wife was, good morning love. After I had said that, I recalled of the first time I said it. I also recalled how unromantic it was. I had just woken up with my wife on our honeymoon and I was just staring at her. Truly speaking, even now, I believe I have won a lottery. Found an amazing woman who loves me, who is beautiful, and has a beautiful heart. So, most of our bedtime routine was simple, she sleeps and I stare. When she woke up I gently said good morning. That good morning was a sign, a loud banner which was supposed to show her that she was about to have an amazing life with me. Saying I love you and learning how to show it is a long and tiring journey. I’d rather just walk. Of course, I want to take my time with those long kisses, long goodbyes, watching my daughter grow, seeing my wife mature, and saying good morning one more time. Love, life, problems, and solutio...

'SOMETIME IT DAWNS ON  ME' I woke up this morning and I realised that I caved. I shook my head looking at my daughter knowing very well that there isn’t any wish I could make, any hope I can desire to have, and anything I could ever do to turn the train cause in my heart of hearts I knew, I am blessed. Sometimes it feels like I am way over my head. Me, a husband, a father, and a mentor to some. I feel like someone will jump out of a bush and say "yes! I caught you'. Why? because my life is a series of happenstance that started from a broken and rejected place to being a husband, father, mentor. However, as I looked at her sleeping, with a corner of my eye I saw my wife staring. You see she thinks I don't know but I do know, were both in the same boat her and I. I tucked my daughter in her bed gently pretending not notice my wife. However I became curious as to how she was looking at me, so I turned and looked at her. That's when I confirmed and was convinced th...
