I’ve been reflecting on my life, from my decisions back in 2021 as I woke up with anxiety this morning. I started wondering, is this really what The Lord wanted? Is my heart hardened and am I now acting out of human pride? I pleaded with The Lord: if I am walking on my own way then please correct me at once! If I am headed to a place where you won’t be present, then I don’t want to be there! (This reminds me of and incident between Moses and God -Exodus 33:15)

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
In Christian Counselling, people complain to me: “what is Romans 8:28 if things in life keep going wrong? When things we plan for and things we want never go our way?” I will place in this article what I discuss with my clients regarding this query.
Christian Faith to Optimism
One thing is required to please God and that is faith (Hebrews 11:6). For this involves knowing who He is and approaching Him accordingly. As such, I don’t think God enjoys seeing us plan and consider things out of fear and pessimism. It doesn’t, like Moses’ sin, hallow or give glory to The Lord (Numbers 20:12).

Forbidden Fruit: The End Game is Self Righteousness
The forbidden fruit has been intriguing me since I was a kid (I’ve always wondered how it looks like). No one can fully explain what it is and why it is evil. No one actually called it evil, it is just not good for man (‘you shall surely die’ -Genesis 2:17)

Why is the Forbidden Fruit Forbidden?
“From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
– Genesis 2:16-17
Unleashing Grace in Our Lives
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running over,…
Luke 6:38
The consistent message of my recent articles: Overspiritualizing Things and Deliver The Bread, have been emphasizing the truth that we don’t just pray and sit on our butts to wait for the blessings of The Lord to come. We have to respond to God’s call in order to grab God’s blessings for us. The life of the Christian is not what some people imagine that we have discovered and freed a genie and this powerful being is now under our command. We say to this genie: “heal me” and we get healed. We pray “Lord, prosper me” and we expect to win the lottery.

When to quit your job
When you are no longer giving your best, you are short changing yourself.
Coming fresh from the new year, I’ve been facing more and more of such questions in Christian Counselling as:
Should I change jobs?
Should I stay longer?
When do I leave a job?
Deliver The Bread 2021
It’s already 11 days into 2021 and I’m still learning from The Lord about how to handle our blogs. As you can see, my latest post was 2 months ago; I plan to work on this slacked habit when The Lord reminded me a lesson about king David.
Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.
– 1 Samuel 17:17
Overspiritualizing Things
In the midst of his normal routine of work, Jeffrey suddenly felt fever rising in his system. This is unusual as he rarely gets sick. Jeffrey didn’t tell anyone at that time as he continued on his work; he didn’t rest and he didn’t bother taking any medications. When the fever got worse, Jeffrey decided to pull out his spiritual rank as a child of the most high God through Jesus Christ and fervently prayed for healing. The fever only got worse and by the time he was rushed to the hospital, his appendix have already burst.

The Devil and The World
In Christian Counselling, we deal a lot about truths with our clients; this usually takes the form of Biblical doctrines. One discussion which shocks a lot of people (and it may shock you too) is the truth that the world today is ruled by The Devil.
