Breakfast With God

This is a tough one. Becoming like Jesus is a life-long, continuous process. It requires being broken, submission, perseverance, pain, dedication and so much more. It's so easy to want to categorise things into: "my church life", "my work life", "my school life", "my social life", but what God really wants is for your WHOLE life to be open to Him.  Jesus wasn't one way when He was with the disciples and another when He was with the multitude; He was the same, all day, every day. This is what we, as His followers, should strive for - wherever we are, whomever we're with, and whatever we're doing.  We are called to live a life of ambassadorship. The dictionary defines an ambassador as "an accredited diplomat sent by a state as it's permanent representative in a foreign country".  *I would just like to pause at this point and pick apart a few of the words/phrases*  ' Accredited ':  We have been given author...

I stumbled on this quote on Instagram yesterday:  "You cannot worship God beyond your knowledge of Him." I paused, re-read it, absorbed it, and meditated  (and believe me, I'm totally new to this whole meditating-on-God's-word Christian thing!)  on it throughout the day. I realised the amazing truth in this. True worship to me means totally, and truthfully, absorbing myself in God's presence - whether that's by speaking to Him, singing a Bethel song, or just staring at the ceiling thinking about Him.  I believe you cannot worship someone you don't love, and you can't love someone you don't know. You might be reading this, and you're at a point in your life where you so want to know God. Not just hear about Him, or conjure up your own ideas of Him, but you want to know the REAL Him. (Good news: He eagerly wants to let you in.) But where do you start? There's no better place than the Bible.  As you go through verse after verse, a...

I had a mini epiphany two Sundays ago, when a friend at church said this: "Imagine two dogs. You starve one, hit it and keep it locked away from everyone else. With the other, you're nurturing, kind, and give it all the love, attention and food it can stand. Which one do you think will grow?" The obvious answer was Dog B, and the whole audience agreed.  What was she talking about? Our flesh, our spirit and the constant tug of war between the two, going on within us. But although the answer was pretty obvious, this analogy helped me (so much) understand the reality that WHAT YOU FEED GROWS. Although in practice, it comes with its challenges, it's a pretty clear (and dare I say, simple) logic. That transformed everything for me! (I'm dramatic like that. Apologies.) I promptly went on Google Images, typed in "Feed your spirit" in the search box, looked for an appealing-enough image and made it the wallpaper on my phone - because I just had to ke...

I love ChaseGodTV so much because it deal with real issues that Christians in this day and age most often struggle with.  This particular Webisode is one that has helped me a lot, put things in perspective, and changed the way I see singleness - a place of preparation. Hope you watch it and your mind is renewed. Lots of love! Kunmi x
