Spiritual Growth

I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

PSALM 18:1-3

King David, a servant of the Lord, spoke to Him the words of this song on the day that the Lord, our God, our sovereign saviour, delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and especially from the hand of King Saul. Here God is praised for His glorious works and blessings through the years.

God’s protection of His people is limitless and can take many forms. David characterised God’s care with five military symbols.

Grace is divine enablement from God, which means God is giving you strength to do that which you cannot do with your ability.

That is why the Bible says that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. So, what grace does is that it helps boost our performance. (Philippians 4:13)

As humans, we all have our weaknesses but when we accept Jesus as our saviour, He gives us the power to overcome those weaknesses.

Therefore we overcome those weaknesses not because of our strength but because of the spirit and the power of God dealing with us.

That means that as Christians, God has given us the ability to overcome our weaknesses “My grace is sufficient for you”.

We need also to acknowledge our weaknesses and pray to God for help so that God can help us overcome those weaknesses.

I have heard a lot of people debate on this issue and I feel like sharing my opinion. So, is breaking a promise a sin?

Before I share my thoughts, I want to state that you can make a promise to God, you can make a promise to man and you can also make a promise to yourself.

Promise is also referred to as a vow in the Bible. A promise means making a statement of intent, indicating that you will do something.

A promise is a commitment to do something or to behave in a certain way. It is a statement of intent that is made to another person or to oneself. Promises can be made verbally, in writing, or through actions.

A promise could also be as deep as making a covenant. A covenant is an agreement that is usually legal or binding for example a contract between two people. Another good example of a covenant is a marriage between a man and a woman.

I will be discussing these three scenarios differently so that we don’t mix things up.

To transform something means to change that thing into something else. So in simple terms, we can say transform means change.

God can call anyone unto Himself because he loves us but God does not want us to remain the same. God wants us to change He wants us to be a better version of ourselves.

I understand that some people believe that you can come to God the way you are, that is true. But you cannot remain in God the way you are.

God wants you to grow to become a better person. God doesn’t want you to be stagnant.

In the book of Act 13:9, God used Saul but Saul had to change to Paul which is a better version of home Saul.

If you want to be called by God and remain useful in His kingdom, you need to understand some things.

Sometimes you feel like praying but the words don’t come out of your mouth. What should you do in a situation like that?

Christianity is a way of life, it is not just about what you know but it is about putting the things you know into practice.

I’ve found myself in this situation several times and it can happen for so many reasons.

This happens to me mostly when I’ve prayed about a matter for a long time and in the end, things don’t turn out the way I want.

I usually find it hard to pray in seasons like this because I do not know what to say.

But now, I’ve been to come up with a solution on what to do when I don’t feel like praying.

Sing praises to God

” Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”

Psalms 100:4

One of the best ways to get into the presence of God is by singing praises to Him. When we sing praises to God, we gain access to His courts, which means we move to a deeper level of relationship with God.
