The importance of honour

The importance of honour  by Toyosi Adegunle Hey, fam! I hope you are well and in good health, give me 10 minutes of your time, let's talk about honour. Merriam Webster dictionary defines honour as respect that is given to someone who is admired.  1 Peter 2:17a says to "honour all people".  The emphasis here is on ALL . Simply put, as a believer, it is very necessary for you to learn how to honour everyone - fellow believers and church leaders, both young and old, friends or not, acquaintances or not. I attended a campus fellowship where honour is a big deal. We had student pastors, student executives who led several departments, and sometimes, the departmental coordinator(s) may be younger in age, and level at school and this is why it was mostly hard for some people to submit and still honour them. In a situation where your student pastor is way younger than you are and is probably in 300 level and you're about to graduate, or your fellow church department team mem...

Is God's word outdated?

Is God's word outdated? by Toyosi Adegunle The world has changed. This is no news. Almost every day we wake up to new ideologies, inventions, philosophies, models of business, and even new words. With all of these going on, it is very easy for us to be swayed and tossed about as believers if we do not have a firm understanding of who we are and the God we're called to serve. The world might change daily but the one who made the world out of nothingness and spoke every creature into life remains the same. God remains the same, He never changes and His standards equally remain unchanging. Christianity is not a free-thinking society. It's not a place where you can choose to update the Bible or God's standards with selfish and societal-constructed ideologies, styles, and standards. It's not a place where you decide what part of the Bible to believe and act and what another part to leave out. It's not a place where you choose to obey God when it suits your selfish pl...

Prayers to know God's purpose over your life

Prayers to know God's purpose over your life  by Bibi Babatunde-Ikotun Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. It's good to have you here and I love the fact that you keep coming back every week. May God bless you and enlarge your coast. So today, I will be sharing some prayer points about coming into purpose with you. If you've followed me for a while now, you'd know that I'm passionate for every child of God to come into God's purpose for their life. With the consistent hustle and bustle of this world, finding purpose may be the last thing on our mind. I have also conversed with people that have become so uninterested in finding purpose because of the way it has been presented to them in the time past. I am a big advocate of seeking God and being submitted to Him, He will definitely direct your path into purpose. Here are 6 prayer points to help you know God's will for your life 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s w...

4 Practical Ways to Not Conform to this World

4 Practical Ways to Not Conform to this World by Toyosi Adegunle Have you ever thought about how and why you seem to take on the culture of someone or a particular area as soon as you feel relaxed? Well, I have, because some of us are quick to adapt to behaviours, cultures as well as take on new values. Sometimes, it’s good, most times, it’s not. Still in the same line of thought, living in a new country or environment can shapen your personality, behaviour or mindset. No matter how much you seem to blend in, you will not always be comfortable because it isn’t really home. As a believer, one thing you need to pay close attention to is adaptability and conformity to seemingly "right" but wordly values and standards. By now, you should know that the devil always does the exact opposite of the word of God, hence his inspired-values are nowhere near God’s standards. Romans 12:2 (‭NKJV‬‬). “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, th...
