Happy Children's Day!


Happy Children's Day All.
May God keep us to witness more.



This children's day made me remember one observation I noticed a while back.

So few years ago, children's day was on a Sunday and as such, the children were allowed to anchor the service. They anchored the entire service from beginning to the end.
The role of the choir, ushers, elders, deacons and deaconess, and even pastor was handled by the children and it was fantastic.

Among the children was the pastor's son. I had not met him before but I recognized him immediately. I didn't recognize him because he did anything 'spectacular' per se, although, he was a part of the choir.
However, I recognized him because he is a spitting image of his father (the pastor). His complexion, the way he looks, the shape of his head, the shape of his body, everything was just like his dads. Immediately, I saw him, I knew he was the pastor's son. I could also identity some other children that looked like their parents.

While I was noticing the children that looked like their parents and commenting on, it dropped in my heart that as Christians too we are supposed to look like our father. We are supposed to be a spitting image of God. The Bible says that we are created in His image. Thus, if I am a Christian and I don't behave like Christ, there is something wrong with my life. People should see me and see Christ.

The apostles were referred to as Christians because they behaved like Christ. Do you behave like Christ? Can someone look at the way you think, act, talk, relate with people and say "he/she's a Christian"? Are you the spitting image of God?
Christ has given us all we need to partake in the divine nature. We are supposed to be imitators and followers of God.
Can you boldly say that you are a Christian?

Today a lot of Christians are asked if they are really Christians. In fact, for some, if they say they are Christians, people would argue that they are not. This is because only few Christians are a spitting image of God. Let us not just be Christians by religion, let our lives reflect Christ, let people hear what we say and know without being told that we are Christians. Be a spitting image of God.
God bless you.

My Car Drives Slow

Hello people of God! Today's gist is about my car again  (Apologies 😅). By the way, I have been driving for over a year now 🤯 Please make sure you tell me congratulations and drop encouraging words for me in the comment 😂 (Ko easy). Anyway, recently I noticed that my car drives way too slow. Whenever I'm driving, it feels like I'm crawling, like the car is not moving as it should. At first, I genuinely thought something was wrong with the speedometer so I had a mechanic check it and everything. But I was told everything was fine. A few weeks ago, I compared the car's speedometer to the radar speed signs and I found it was accurate and nothing was wrong with the car. I reexamined myself and basically, the major reason why I have been feeling like my car drives slow is because whenever I drive, I get left behind 😂 Other cars just fly by and this makes me feel like something is wrong when in reality nothing is wrong. No one follows the speed limit in this city and it...

Bible Plan For Year 2024

I started reading the Bible from cover to cover with my elder sister when I was around 10 years of age. I gave my life to Christ when I started Junior Secondary School, and my elder sister and I planned to read the Bible from the beginning to the end. We would read at least 4 to 5 chapters of the Bible daily and by the end of the year, we would have read from January to December. And we did this for a couple of years. I continued this tradition even after high school and when I started my undergraduate studies. At times, I would read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for two years just to pace myself.  Currently, I have read the Bible from the beginning to the end several times. However, I have noticed that for the past two years, I have struggled to read my Bible or follow a Bible plan as much as I would have liked or as much as I did in the past. This new year, I have been wondering why I have not been able to read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation yearly or follow a Bible p...
