Thoughts on Kindness by Ifeoma Aleke.

  

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Kindness is a word that we often use loosely, “that woman is kind”, “ that’s very kind of you” “she seems like a kind person” but have we ever truly stepped back to understand what we mean when we say someone is kind? Has this fruit of the Holy Spirit come to grow in us and have we shared this fruit with others in our daily walk with Christ?

The crossover

It’s already a few minutes past midnight and many people are in church to pray into/cross over the New Year with God. This is surely a good trend but should it end there? Most people attend these midnight services, and forget about God after a few days, only remembering him again when they get into trouble.  It’s nice to start a new year with God in prayers and praise, but to me it’s much more important to continue with God every single day.

Let's strive to walk hand in hand with God in this coming year. This can be easier if we learn to do everything with and for God. Intimacy with God is built this way.

Christmas vs Xmas

The inscription I wrote on the Christmas fruit cake I made for my sister in law yesterday was Merry X-Mas. After I had piped on it, I realized that I ought to have written Christmas because, come on, there is no Christmas  without Christ. However, due to limited space on the cake and the need to make the fonts equal I decided to use xmas. I seriously contemplated removing it and writing Christmas after I was done, but that would have made the cake rough, so I just left it. Thank God for His grace because the great accuser of the brethren, the devil, started manipulating my mind  afterwards and giving me guilt trips ,for writing Xmas; as though I had denied Christ .I quickly rebuked him and moved on.

20 Important Godly confessions to declare daily

Hi there,you can  read  the first part of daily confessions in this post. How to talk like God

1.       No weapon forged against me will prevail, and i will refute every tongue that accuses me. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

2.       I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:21

3.       I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

How to talk like God

God is so good and has great plans for each and every one of us (Jeremiah 29:11).Some of these plans are not manifested physically because we have not learnt to unlock them from the supernatural realm to the physical with the words of our mouth. Proverbs 18:21 tell us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat its fruit. Our words have supernatural power .Proverbs 13:2 says, from the fruit of their lips, people enjoy good things.

Live Ready

Life is a dress rehearsal. It is practice for the real life ahead of us… eternity.   Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, God has set eternity in the hearts of men. This means that every human being has an innate divinely placed knowledge that there is more to life that what is attainable. You are but a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (James 4:14), hence there is more to this existence.

Are we living with a view of eternity?
