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...

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...

Debi Pearl Your ability to know who your man is, what he wants and how to serve him will bring fulfillment and bliss to you.

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
