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!

THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ENABLER

Right from Genesis chapter 1 to Revelation22, the presence and manifestation of the Holy Spirit is prominent. The Spirit of God is not a silent observer but a key player in God's planning and execution. Jesus had an extraordinary ministry as he walked the face of the earth. It is interesting that Jesus at age 12 knew all he needed to know about God and the Scriptures. In the temple among the most learned, astute and law experts in the Sanhedrin he demonstrated superiority and excellence that the elders of Israel were left bewildered. One day, a melancholic but pragmatic Nicodemus was beyond curiosity, came to Jesus by night and honestly wanted  the truth. And he began to express his excitement about his observation. Jesus was not a man given to praises. He cut through the cheese and laid it out to him. John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh,...

FRIENDSHIP THAT WINS SOULS

BY  Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A "You cannot excel in life if you want to go alone in life."                 Dr Jeffrey seif. I celebrate you all. Today I'd be talking on how friendship can bring others to Christ. Looking at the meaning of friendship from the Chrome dictionary it is defined as the relationship, bond,union between friends. These days people come into our lives and we are not sure how to categorize them, but I'll have you know that "Friends" are the most influential people in our life's that   either bring us down our pull us up. The bible speaking "Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. " Proverbs 13:20 MSG. We need to learn to define our friend-ship with people, we need to know the the kind of "friends" we are letting into our "ship", so that when the wind blows we cou...

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...
