Just an employee


 I warned you guys that once I started writing about where I work I will never stop right? Well if I didn’t before this, take it as a fair warning. It was one of my longer shifts and I had sort of begun so it was still almost empty except for my enthusiastic table of four ladies. When I am not swamped with customers, I like taking my time to talk to the ones there. After couple of trips and small talks one of the ladies asked me.” Are you the owner of this place?” I was flattered and quickly replied “Nope, am just an employee!” Then she hit me with a response I didn’t see coming,” you are not Just an employee you are an employee!” I walked away as I pondered on her reply to the statement I made. Then it hit me!!!!


When we think of ourselves as Christians don’t we do the same thing?  When we see people passionately evangelizing or preaching don’t we tell ourselves that we are just Christians? I don’t know about you but I went through a phase were I gave excuses why I didn’t take it up on myself to share the Gospel or even bring God up in my conversations with non-believers , because I just said to myself that I was Just a Christian that  just goes to church.  Hence, making it seem like it isn’t my role to do those things. Amongst the many definitions of the word the one I disliked was the adverb form of the word meaning ‘merely or only’.  You are a person that Christ died for; you are a person who has inherited daughter ship/son ship to the creator of the Universe through Christ our Lord. Do you still fill the need to refer to your selves as ‘Just Christians’? Don’t you now see the need to pick your Cross up and Follow Him, not just by going to Church, no! Follow Him by worshiping Him with your life, every part of it like God said in 1Peter 3:15 “Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it!” Don’t you feel the need to share more, knowing that you are sharing the good news of how you became a daughter/son of the Living God! Do you now see that you are not just a Christian? “For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:26
Notes:
  • You are not Just a Christian!!!! You are a Christian
  • Let us stop using ‘Just’ as an excuse to not fulfill our duties as Christians
  • You need to understand you are worth so much! So much that God gave His only son to die on a cross for your sake
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
