ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI



ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI 

The early Christians were not known because they had big bibles to show to people but were known due to their character that didn't negate their belief.

It is something quite disheartening seeing someone who needs to announce to people that he is a Christian before people could know him. 

I once shared an article here last year of a man whose evidence that he was born again was because he had a very big bible and some religious due receipts. 

A mango tree needs not announce to people that it is a mango tree for its fruit will speak in the right season. 
Yes! In a like manner, a Christian needs not announce to people that he is a Christian for his fruit will show it in due time. Such cannot be hidden even in the darkness. 

A Christian is naturally meant to bear the fruit in Galatians 5:22-23. It is not something you struggle to do for it is your makeup. Those who have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires would naturally bear those fruits. 

If you are still claiming that you are a Christian because you were christened a Christian name, you are mistaken. And if you think you are one because you are attending a particular denomination, truth is far from you. 

Those who have believed and confessed that Jesus is Lord are Christians. More so, if you are not bearing the right fruit as a Christian, you've got to check your identity again. This life is not something we struggle to live.

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental"

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall in love with such and this may br

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She was just
