5 Shocking Things You Will Learn Growing As A Christian

Friday 26 December 2014



We all at a point in time have tried to live a life we have no idea about. As humans we want to know and feel. Because we tried to live without knowing, it made most of us if not all of us go through pain. But later you will find out pain is a driving force of life. The come that time when life stop making sense, and then you need to make senseout of life. For those of you that will try to follow Christ (ie becoming Christians) then read on as this is for you...

1. Your Adversary: Most of the times, new Christians think they are up against the devil, but your biggest adversary is not the devil, it is fellow humans. Yes the devil is also an adversary, but you will only start getting attacked by the devil once you seal the deal with Jesus Christ. You are going to face what they call Earthly forces. Let me try to break this down for you. people are going to try to enslave you. You are going to be facing forces like, I am the best black man here, I am the best white man here, I am the most beautiful or most handsome here, I am the riches here, I am the most spiritual man here. But to all these, one thing was given to Christians, (the Bible.) Read your Bible well to find out the truth yourself. You can also gain some more understanding of the Bible from a daily devotional.

2. Better Knowledge Of The Bible: In the earlier times when God started to work with man, the people were not allowed to read the Bible for themselves. It was being done by special people called Priest. In this times we are allowed to read the Bible. You will find out you are going to have some challenges when it comes to your knowledge of the Bible. Instead of people to add up to what you already know, they will try to argue the little you know. Stay on tract, keep reading the Bible for yourself.

3. Better Christian: For those of you that come from a family with more than one child, then this will not be a new thing to you. You remember when you started fighting who is the better child to mom and dad, yes Christians also fight who is the better follower to Jesus Christ. Jesus said himself ''I have chosen you and not you chose me'' only Jesus Christ knows his true followers.

4. Wrong Leader: Now our days, people start churches for several reasons, some to make money, some thought they heard the voice of God... So you might fall in the hands of poor if not very poor church leaders. They have started a church, they don't know how to go forward, they don't know how to go backward, they don't know how to stop. They have created  a stagnant water favorable for Mosquitos. You might get bitten in such Churches, I mean pretty bad. Once you find out a particular Church is not focusing on preaching the love of Jesus Christ, ''LEAVE''

5. Wrong Fellow Believers: It is normal to think everyone in Church should be a good, God fearing person, But this is not exactly the case you will find in most if not every Church. Some people the only new thing they have in their hands is the Bible. Everyone in Church is not like that, find you one or two persons who know what it means to follow a friend who had to die on the Cross for his friends. The Bible said ''greater had no man love than this that a man will lay down his life for his friends.'' The Bible is refering to JesusChrist here.

Becoming a Christian is not all about the sweet Jesus loves you. You are going to find some challenges. If you loose a love one keep the faith, if you loose a job keep the faith, if you are moving back with your mom keep the faith. Don't forget to find some time to increase your faith with adaily devotional. People that writedaily devotionals, try to inspire and encourage you.

5 Things You Have Been Missing For Not Reading A Daily Devotional

Wednesday 10 December 2014


Let's start by trying to do some break down, daily is rooted from the keyword, day to day. This is something you do every day. And devotinal is rooted from the keyword devotion, this is your dedication to what you do. So you can also split a daily devotional into, your day to day devotion to the Bible. A daily devotional doesn't necessarilly means your devotion to the word of God, it can also mean your devotion to your spouse. But the two words daily devotional is so much attached to the Bible that each time you mention a daily devotional almost everyone thinks about the Bible. Some people think it is boring, they may say ''I already have my Bible, why have someone explain the Bible to me.'' While most of those that write a real daily devotional are Bible Scolars, they have a better understanding of the Bible than you. For those of you who want to give yourself a chance to better understand the Bible, then read on as we explore 5 Things You Have Been missing For Not Reading A Daily Devotional.

1. Better Understanding Of The Bible: As mentioned earlier most people that come out with a daily devotional have a better understanding of the Bible. So by reading what they have to say about the Bible, gives you the opportunity to tap into what they have learnt by studying the Bible. This is also going to give you the added advantage of making your Bible reading easier.




2. Give The Bible The Feel Of Playing A Game: To be honest I have been a devoted Christian for 2 years now. Picking up my Bible say in the morning or in the evening has never been easy. But since I started reading a daily devotional, I found out that most of the writers pick verses from the Bible and explain the human relationship to that particular verse. So it's like killing two birds with one stone. I read the Bible and at thesame time get the human connnection to that scripture. That sounds like a fair game right!

3. Christian Growth: No one wants to remain a baby to be carried around by just everyone. Everyone wants to grow and gain independence. This is what a daily devotional is going to do for you when it comes to your Christian growth. It is going to explain your rights to you in relation to God. Yes thats right you are going to learn how to get backup from God.




4. Relationship to Fellow Humans: Jesus Christ before he left, gave us one commandment ''love your neighbor as I have loved you.'' Honestly speaking sometimes loving human beings could be as hard as receiving death on the cross. A good daily devotional writer focuses on trying to encourage and inspire you to keep the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.

5. Assurance: Ever heard the song ''blessed assurance Jesus is mind, oh what a fortress of glory divine...'' Without sense, assurance, life is useless. Added to the fact that you get assurance that Jesus is yours, Jesus also have something better for you, the promise of a Heaven. A daily devotional is just going to try to increase that assurance. And give you more evidence of a heaven.






 There you have it, I can only write, you have the decession to take what you have read and put it into practice, or let it stick here on the internet where you found it.
