Love Thy Neighbor

This is where I hate politics..
I have nothing against Republicans but it seems they make decisions only for their benefit.
The President has been advocating for an immigration reform but Republicans in Congress were dragging their feet for 4yrs until..
Mitt Romney lost..
Clearly, this sent a wake call to Republicans.
All of a sudden, Republicans now have an epiphany that they really need Hispanics votes.
To my surprise, Republicans even drafted their own bill in less than a month after the fiscal cliff.

To Republicans..
Most of you guys claim to be Christians..
Why do you oppose decisions that will benefit people?.
When did your political agendas become more important than people?
I mean, I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that your incentive to draft this bill was so you can win Hispanics votes in your next elections.
You quickly act in order to protect your political endeavors..
Why do you Republicans like to sell fish?
Obviously, your political endeavors is more important than helping people?

I get so disappointed with Republicans because most of you are Christians.
What does the good book say?
Love your neighbor as yourself.
I mean, what would Jesus do?
If Mitt Romney won the Presidential elections,
you best believe no Republican in Congress would have drafted any immigration bill..

I have seen this trend among Republicans for several years..
Sometimes, I just wish you’d stop thinking about yourselves for once.

STOP PLAYING POLITICAL GAMES WITH PEOPLE’S LIVES…STOP!

Prayer

prayerOh Lord,

May my head always think about you..
May my eyes always see you..
May my nose always smell your sweet aroma.
May my ears always hear your voice.
May my mouth always speak about you.
May my heart always beat for you only.
May my lungs always breath for you.
May my hands always do your will.
May my legs always walk to your presence.

I pray everything in me will PRAISE you oh Lord!!

What is Worship?

Worship is loving the people who hate me.
Worship is getting and digging into your word regardless of how I feel.
Worship is to respect my Godly parents.
Worship is praying blessings upon the people who hurt me.
Worship is forgiving the people who hurt me the most.
Worship is laying down my pride for your will in my life.
Worship is not allowing my emotions to control me.
Worship is choosing your way over mine.

Worship goes beyond lifting our hands and closing our eyes to a slow song.
Worship is simply obeying God.

Worshiping God should be our lifestyle.
In everything we do, we need to worship God.

How do you think God defines Worship?
Does our definition of worship match God’s definition of Worship?

What does Jesus mean to you?

Thank you sharonvogancollins for this question.

Jesus means Life to me.
I grew up in a Christian home.
I knew all the bible stories.
Yet, I didn’t have a relationship with Him.
I did what I wanted to do.
I noticed something that brought me closer to the cross..
What was it?
I got in more trouble than my friends.
I would get in trouble with my friends..
However, I got more punished than them.
It didn’t make sense until my sophomore yr of High School in the States..
I decided to stop living a double life to pursue a deep relationship with Christ.
I am not where I want in my relationship with God but thanks be to Him that I am not where I was.
TGBTG!

This is a good question.
To my followers “what does Jesus mean to you?”

Girl Reality Check..

Ladies,

african wedding bridal party

We fantasize about our weddings.
Yet, we somehow forget that our marriage is more important.
It makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars or naira on a wedding only for it to end in a divorce.

There’s nothing wrong in spending a lot of money on your wedding..
But, you need to INVEST more into your marriage to make sure it works.

Weddings are beautiful..
Every girl dreams of their Cinderella moment on their wedding day.
Cinderella on your wedding day,                                                            
and an Evil queen after your wedding makes no sense. African Wedding 2

Don’t get me wrong spend as much as you want on your wedding;
However, you need to invest more in your marriage prior and after the wedding to make sure your marriage works.

Your Wedding is a one day event.
if you’re African like me.. A two day event.
For other cultures a multiple day event.

Point is all our wedding festivities will come to an end.
Your Marriage should be forever.
Which one deserves more investment??

Malachi 2:16-“I hate divorce” says the Lord.

“It’s better to have an average wedding with an exceptional marriage, than a dream wedding but the marriage be a nightmare.”-Singles and Married Africa

How fine is your Man?

Ladies,

We see a Black man and our heads start spinning.. LOL!!
There’s nothing wrong in thinking a guy is attractive.
However, check yourself that you don’t lust.

We are only suppose to lust after our husbands.
If you don’t have a husband,
you probably shouldn’t be lusting after anybody.

Girl, go beyond looks,
Does he love the Lord?
Not just go to Church,
does he have an intimate relationship with the Lord?

Guys are getting smart these days..
Some guys don’t just go to church,
they go to meet ladies.
We have to be wise,
going to church or singing in the choir is not enough.

You be the judge..
With the leadership of the holy spirit,
you will know if this guy is legit or not..

Please look beyond looks..
Check out his character.
What is his character telling you about him?
Pray about it.

Cos a black_man_praying  that puts God first should be PRAISED!!

 

Dear Christian Girl,

Hey,
If you are in a relationship with a guy or pursuing anything leading to a relationship
and the guy’s priority is not to please God in your relationship.

Take Time..

I know you are expecting me to say to evaluate the relationship.
No, I’ll say evaluate your relationship with the Lord.
I say evaluate your relationship with the Lord cos He is a jealous God,
He will never give us someone that takes our attention away Him.

Also, if your priority is not to please God in this relationship..
Again, re-evaluate your relationship with the Lord.
Remember God should be glorified in everything we do.
If God is not glorified. Why are u in it??
Think about it!

This msg is also for me,
don’t compromise on your relationship with the Lord.
God first-Matt 6:33
