Introduction

"But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” 

“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry."  Luke 15: 17-24

Welcome to my new blog.

I was brought up in a Christian home and attended Methodist church regularly.  I even attended a Methodist secondary school.  Although I enjoyed reading Bible stories, they were very much far removed from my actual life experience.   In other words, I could see no practical relevance to my everyday life.  Though I believed in God as I'd had too many exxperiences to show He was real, I went looking for God in all the wrong places.  I went from following the New Age to New Thought.  What I did get from the New Thought movement was that the teachings in the Bible are forever relevant and now and I can apply the principles in my daily life here and now.

Gradually, I started having this knowing that Jesus was the missing piece and key to God.   My mum, who was a Christian, had introduced me to lots of  TV ministeries. which I used to watch with her when she was alive.   I would even secretly say the Salvation prayer, but I wasn't quite committed.  

It was during lockdown when I was doing a lot of soul searching during my daily walks that I came to the realisation that I need to make a full commitment and give my life to Jesus Christ. Like the Prodigal Son in the Bible, I repented and invited Jesus to be my personal Lord and Saviour.  I then started doing a lot of Bible study online.

I'm also now attending hurch on a regular basis where I fellowship with other Christians.

I have also permanently deleted my old blogs when I didn't have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

This blog is a clean slate.

I will be sharing my walk with Christ and my relationship with my Father God in my daily experience.

You are welcome to share any articles as long as you add the relevant link.

God bless.

The Cross is My Landmark

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Galatians 3; 13-14 ---- While I was walking at Regent's Park, I could see BT Tower in the distance, which I used as my landmark to guide me to where I was headed. I know I'm headed in the wrong direction if I can no longer see any part of the BT Tower. It got me thinking of the cross that Jesus was crucified on. I believe the cross is a landmark that reminds me of the price Jesus's crucifixion paid for all humanity for all time. If I am ever feeling"lost" physically, emotionally or spiritually,, all I need to do is either think of the cross or look at a representation of the cross and I'm back on track. Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me on the cross! ❤️ ✝️ Photos of

If God is Sovereign, Why is there Evil?

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res

Shopping with the Holy Spirit

Image
Because my job involves standing up for hours, I needed to get new footwear as the cheap trainers I've been wearing have been very uncomfortable. I have several trainers which are very comfortable, but they are too colourful for work as your shoes have to be black. My ideal would be black trainers that could pass as smart shoes where the logo is either hidden or not that obvious. The first thing I did was check the website of my favourite brand of trainers, I found a pair I liked. Because they said they come in small sizes, I decided to visit one of their stores at Oxfird Street (Europe's busiest shopping street with 200+ shops) where I could try them on for size. After work, I caught the bus to Oxford Street. As the bus was driving  by, I noticed a shop that someone had recommended. (I actually have one of their trainers, but they are in pink and blue and not suitable for work). There was another shoe shop next door that I am also familiar with.  Should I get off the bus? Nah.
