Initially, this blog post was going to be focused on Abrahams obedience. However, I did not know how to go about the blog though the vision was clear. Then it dawned on me, I cannot talk about Abraham's obedience without touching on his faith. His faith is the one that fueled his obedience. His faith made it easier to obey God because he trusted God. Genesis 12 vs 1 - 3 (NKJV): 1 The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt.

All the works.  Then two weeks into that decision, I start giving into feelings of laziness. Three weeks into the decision, the fire has died down and I start entertaining thoughts of, "I don't feel like God hears me when I pray", "I am not in the mood to read the Bib...

Dear readers, A very happy and blessed new year to you. I am beyond grateful for the love, support, feedback and just taking time to read what I have to share. My blog has been a huge part of my Christian journey and I hope that it has helped you too in some way and that whenever you read, there is a seed planted within you to continue seeking God. I am excited to see what God has in store for us in 2025 _______________________________ Around this time last year, I was making my new years resolutions and saying that I would take my relationship with God much more serious. Unfortunately, that did not last long but things are different this year. The new year doesn't mean that I have to start afresh with God, I just have to keep walking with Him and choosing Him everyday. My encouragement unto you for this year is:  1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17 (NKJV): "Pray without ceasing" This verses encourages us to pray continuously for many reasons. There is power in prayer and prayer is w...
