Weapons of War


If you know anything about me, you know that I love kids sooo much. Because of my love for kids you will spot me with a kid on my lap at church or any gathering. Spending so much time with kids has given me a sneak peek into their train of thought and how they process things. As cute as they are there are times where I can’t focus on how cute they are because of how loud their cry is. Have you had an experience with a baby that just couldn't stop crying? I have, my youngest brother was not even a year old and I was taking care of him for the night. My baby brother cried until I cried with him because there wasn't anything else I could do. When a kid starts crying if you scream at him/her, he/she will even cry harder, worse if you try to make them stop by beating them.

I thought of war and weapons of war. War according to this world is basically beating a kid to make it stop crying. But for us Christians, war and its weapons are completely different. Our weapon of war is Love! Love brought the king from His seat of glory to the earth as a human in flesh. Love Kept Him on the cross and Love made Him pray for all who persecuted Him.  “3 for though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4. This world tells us tit-for-tat an eye for an eye but Jesus tells us to love your enemies, He tells us “If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.” Luke 6:29. Yes it is a bit out of the ordinary, slightly different from how this world works. But God is a God that is everything but ordinary and nothing of this world constrains His works and miracles. So is it’s not too shocking if His principles don’t match principles of this world?

Notes:
·              Next time someone does you wrong repay them by doing something nice, that will lead them to repentance, and that would be the greatest lesson you can teach them
·               Repaying evil by evil is putting gasoline in a burning fire and hoping it would stop
·               Two wrongs don’t make a right!

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 ...
