Hey! and welcome, it’s amazing to have you here, stay blessed:)

A long time ago in children church there’s this song we’d sing “I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men, I will make you fishers of men, if you follow me”. This song came from Matthew 4:19, where Jesus is seen getting his disciples and he comes across the brothers(fishers) Simon and Andrew and he says to them to follow him and he will make them fishers if men. Isn’t it amazing that as people in Jesus, we are ordained to fish for other people to join us? This is the great commission and the primary duty of any believer.

It is sad that these days, believers chose to focus on secondary things and what we can get from God than what God wants from us. I’ve been like that for a while, being in the faith but not telling others about the faith. There’s joy in heaven over a soul that turns to God, I’ve realized that it’d be lovely to be a constant joy giver to heaven. Seeing how amazing being in Christ is, it is only so selfless to let others know about it. The gospel is meant to be shared, the same way it was shared to us; it is meant to be shared to others too. Our lifestyle is a major instrument of soul winning, we can win people to Jesus by being who God has called us to be, holy, faithful and shining lights on earth. Seeing the life of people living in Christ, representing heaven and doing the will of God and equally enjoying the blessings that come with that is what shows the world the difference between being in the world and being with and in God. 

A deliberate attempt to life like Jesus will help with soul winning. Also, going out to tell friends, family and people we come across about the finished work of Jesus for them and how much Jesus longs to have a relationship with them backed up with prayers for their souls is another major way of being a fisher of men. In doing this, we are being obedient to God and we’re in line with his will for our lives which is to go out and tell the world about him. It starts with you and I, we’re not to wait for our pastors or evangelists, we don’t have to be anything apart from being born again to preach the gospel. A simple “Jesus loves you” that you will say will help a soul escape hell. 

Go out! You’re an ambassador of heaven, you’re to represent Christ in lifestyle and verbally, also in intercession. Tell somebody about Jesus, because only then shall we be many! The Holyspirit will help us in Jesus name.

Hey and welcome! 

Overwhelmed in my own definition and life is times when I feel a lot of emotions. It’s when I’m engrossed in getting something done that I barely can coordinate myself. In my seeking God experience, there’s been so many overwhelming moments when it’s seems like I’m going round in circles yet not attaining the results I’ve set. I do this blog, not because I’m an expert in the things of God, but because it is a journey and I want to always be able to share my experiences with as many as are equally on this Journey. Every post I make is something I’ve gone through or done. 

I earlier said I’ve been overwhelmed several times, an example is tasking myself to make a particular sacrifice and leave my comfort zone in other to seek the Lord and I end up not doing it. Sometimes, I’m at peace, encouraging myself that I’m getting there, other times I get frustrated and really sad. The latter however, I’ve noticed is very unhealthy for both me and my growth. Times like that, I’m so sure of my love for God, I’m so sure that I want to know and be more stable in my walk with God, just that I execute this goal poorly. That being said, I’ve come to a more stable point in my emotions and dealing with them and I’ll be sharing how:)

Growing in a relationship with Jesus is the utmost concern of anyone that truly wants to live the Jesus centric life. Truth is, it can and will get overwhelming at some point. A major secret to avoid this, is tasking to seek God should be replaced with love for God to seek God. If you love somebody, you will always want to be around them and you don’t have to say “I’ll be spending 3 hours with you today”. You just go and time flies, some even spend upto 8-9 hours with their lovers and don’t even want to leave by then. Why is that so? LOVE! I told myself that God isn’t forcing me, he could be prompting but never forcing me to spend time with him! and that I’m not here as a Christian by chance or out of coercion. So in this freedom of choice (which I’ve talked about before), I’m in a willful relationship with Jesus and as such don’t have to task myself to be with him. 

I’ve learnt to just to what I do out of love and awe of God and not do it like a chore.

Other things like intercession, warfare, petitions, etc principles are applied and instructions are to be obeyed etc but when it comes to relationship, just wanting to know God to the relate with him?! It must be birthed from love and adoration of him else it can be overwhelming. By the time you worship, praise, talk, listen, study his word, pray and just enjoy his presence before you know it! You’re there for over 4 hours already, AMAZING INIT?
