THE FLEETING GLORY I ONCE KNEW


B Y     J E A N I N E     K O N G O



I have experienced a glorious past

Not everyone is born in the church. While some were big pagans in a Christian body. Others have experienced the unimaginable. I am one of those who have known the world in a particular way and who have proudly shared it spicing it with exaggerations in front of other Christians "old bosses" just to “save face" in the debates about old times. There was this effort to give the impression that I was also an intimidating figure. This image is built upon many lies, or unspoken truths or things that people can easily believe without having to prove it ... (I know this terrain so well lol)

Of what use are these "professional experiences" on a CV that is supposed to be dead at the cross? How should I boast of having been a hard time if I have now experienced real life in CHRIST?

And I look upon all things as a loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord, for whom I have forsaken all things, and look upon them as mud, to win Christ,

What is the level of the excellence of the knowledge that I have of JESUS ​​so that I look at this "glory" passed like mud? This question led me to drop my "ranks", "stripes" gleaned at the risk of my life and to introduce myself as someone who wants to win CHRIST. There will always be those false mentors who will tell their past so gloriously that whoever is born in the church will be tempted to go for a ride in the world, comparison is not right! If you want to tell your past life, check that it has gone well. Do not recount things with a smirk, like Ah, the memory of the beautiful era! If this is still the case, I urge you to thoroughly analyze your walk with the Lord. He must renew all our thoughts, I say ALL.

Tell the truth about struggles, temptations, falls and relapses. Stop the make-believe that the world is great and we come out of it overnight. Egyptian cucumbers are often lacking in the desert and one must learn to appreciate the manna that contains spiritual teachings. The deeper the world is rooted in us, the more the restoration work of the Holy Spirit is doubly so. Guilt, bitterness, regrets ... But where sin has abounded, grace has abounded!

I experienced and survived things that would have taken another person quietly. Am I a tough girl? No, I am the fruit of his grace.

If the "testimony" of someone is weakening your principles regarding your walk with GOD, take hold of yourself afresh. Not all the mentors are not models. Those people who tell you that they had pre-marital sex were able to get married without a problem, is that approved of the Lord? Are people who use business fraud but thrive are still connected to the real vine?

Not everyone is worthy of our admiration. We go to and we end up touching what we admire. To read my other articles about the models. https://bit.ly/2JzbR3i

One day, I will tell my story, from the dust to the Distinction!

A TASTE OF LIBERTY

BY    D A V I D    P A M    M c Q U E L Hi friends, I know it’s been long that I blogged. I apologize. I have had to deal with a lot, have no secretary and our staff is really thin. I hope to settle down soon and getting back on blogging twice a week. I am currently in the United States of America for both a discipleship training with the Keystone Project at South Dakota as well as enjoying vacation with the lovely friends the Lord has given me over the last few years. So far my best experience is captioned in the title above. I would say I am having a taste of liberty. The United States chief ideals are liberty and the pursuit for happiness. Looking back where I come, Africa, I think we have not had any of the two. I will give you my first example is this. I have spent the last twenty-five years in three countries: Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire. In all these countries and in fact, all African countries, a citizen or the ord...

AND SHE WALKED FORWARD

By David Pam McQuel And the girl walked forward at the end of the sermon. The young preacher had his eyes shut when he felt someone pulling at his shirt. At first he ignored it, then the pull was a little stronger. Just for a second he lost concentration, then he ended the prayer. And he looked down and saw this beautiful girl. The congregation in that little assembly stood still, and watched. What does she want? Everyone wondered. But with the preachers gifted compassionate smile he bend down and asked. Hello girl, what can I do for you? She lifted her face, and she's been crying. "I want Jesus in my heart today." Sobbing. The you preacher froze, didn't know what to say or how to say it immediately. He has been preaching for five years and two months, he has had hundreds of people sit under his ministry and yet this was such an extraordinary moment he has had just a few times. He could feel the heat of her desire. He could sense the urgency and hunge...

THE CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITY

By David Pam McQuel Merry Christmas! As we all are aware, the festive season is here. No matter what your religious or theological conviction is, you certainly cannot ignore the season. So much expectations, so much preparations and so many plans. Christmas is a time of joy for so many. Especially those who affiliate with Christianity and those who look forward to making financial gain from sales. For others it is the holiday attached to it. A much anticipated time of rest and social gatherings. Among Christians, the debate will rage again as to whether Christmas is biblical or pagan, how it all started, and how serious Christians should either be involved or abstain. While many write it off as a Catholic ritual and others see it as the Roman emperor Constantine defiling a thriving Church. And others argue vehemently on the exact month of birth of Christ. Surely the theological warfare is at boiling point. There are two things we need to focus on. 1. The fact...
