FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS


I just concluded a little research I started about two months ago, and I am really shocked at the findings.  By the Grace of God, I have been opportune to travel to different parts of my country and this gave me the opportunity to learn little about different culture.  I have also been opportune to meet great minds who I have in one way or the other, shared from their experience and knowledge.  Meeting these persons, have also shaped my understanding about certain important issues of life. A lot of Christians act in a way that is questionable and if such behavior or action brings about a negative result, God takes the blame.
Most times, when we hear of the death of someone, many are quick to asking God why. A lot of persons even go ahead to blame God, some blame the old people in their villages; some link it to some sort of witchcraft manipulation.  There are a lot of cases I been studying for a while now, but I would love to share very few with you my wonderful readers, to know what you think of them; please carefully read these stories.
“A pastor had a son, and it was the believe of his church that they don’t go to the hospital, in other words, they don’t take drugs. His only son fell ill, and he refused to give this little child a proper medical attention needed, holding to the fact that its against his church doctrine. This little boys condition got worse, and the father took him to the church laid him at the altar and was praying, after a while, the child died. His wife who has been begging him to permit her take the child to the hospital angrily left her husband (divorce).”
My dear readers, is this FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS?
“A young boy was beaten by a snake, instead of his mum taking him to the hospital; she applied anointing oil on the leg and began to pray. She commanded all sort of fire from her own heaven and casted her own witches and wizard away. The young boy died before the dawn of another day. After everything, the family claimed it wasn’t ordinary”
COULD THIS BE AN EXERCISE OF FAITH OR THE PRACTICE OF FOOLISHNESS?
“A young man woke up one morning feeling feverish. He ignored this feeling and didn’t do anything about it…. I guess this must be faith too. When he got back from work, this feeling continued but this time very serious. All he kept saying was… I can’t be sick. He managed to drag himself to work the next day and a colleague asked him to go to the hospital but he refused claiming that he wasn’t sick. He continued to manage himself despite all he goes through at night. This continued for like two weeks until one day he began to convulse seriously. But thank God there were neighbors around who rushed him to a hospital. He survived it though, the rest is history………………….”
IS THIS FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS?

I would leave you to answer this for yourself with your own reasons for whatever answer you give. I will write to you all on this matter….. Share your views.

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

LETTER TO MY TEENAGE BOY AND GIRL 2

My dear, I believe that you enjoyed the last letter I wrote to you and you have also seen how important that letter is to your future. Well, just like I told you the last time I wrote to you, I am here to complete what I started. Among many other things, I would love to remind you that you should not be confused when you see your opposite sex, behaving in differently in a relationship. Lack of understanding of the difference between a girl and a boy, makes a lot of your friends endanger their lives.  You should be able to know what the guy wants from you and you the guy should know what the girl wants from you. God created you all differently and reasons for doing this is best known to him. But I believe that God love variety and as such decided to create us all differently instead of a robot. Lifestyle is another practical reason why a lot of your friends fall in love today and fall out tomorrow. Please I would love you to learn early that you can do things that will a...

YOU ARE NOT A JUNK

Myles Munroe my favorite author once shared a wonderful thought in one of his work that holds a great deal of life lesson. He said, “A sculptor works in a very interesting way, and it would be great foolishness to argue with an artist until he is finished. He said; don’t discuss anything with a painter or a sculptor until his work is completed. An artist can be very rude if you disturb him before he has accomplished what he intends to do, because he sees differently that those who are not artists. An artist can walk by the stone in your front yard and see a figure in it. He may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. The dogs may have been doing stuff on it. You may even have been planning to get rid of it because it’s a nuisance. But the artist walks into your yard and sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine. Two months later when the artist invites you to his workshop he says, “do you see that? D...
