Ladies, do not get twisted about your identity in Christ

Hello LWM! I hope you had a wonderful week. Today, I would like to encourage us to be faithful to who we are in Christ. A certain preacher said once, "each Christian has his season". It is true! Sometimes, we are so in fire for the Lord, we do not have to be pushed to preach the good news but sometimes also we feel weak and you forget who we are. I have to say and I notice it from my personal experience that it is when we feel weak that we tend to sin more, and it gets worse when we put our weapon away : the Word of God.


It is also when we are weak that you tend to compromise a lot. The Bible says that " do not be conformed to this world" but to be renewed in our minds by the power of the Holy Spirit. Here, I would like to share with you two thoughts that what said by my Bishops. Bishop Dag Heward Mills said " you are what you see. What are you watching? "and lady Reverend Adelaide said" to know who you are, you must know who you are not first". Wow! Ladies, we are what we see. If you love watching movies which sends messages of love, who are too emotional etc, you will become that. Likewise, if you love watching sermons and preaching, you shall become what you hear and inspire to become what the minister is.

We need to constantly keep in minds what we are to not become what or who we are not. Do you believe that you are a chosen generation? Then know that your job is to influence others generations, to be an example for them. Lady Reverend Adelaide Heward Mills said once, we truly know who we are when no one is around to watch us! Mercy! Do you want to know who you are, then examine yourself and see who you are when no one is looking. When you are alone in your bedroom, who are you? Are you still praising God as you do when you are singing at church, do you talk to the Holy Spirit when you are alone? What are you doing when you are alone?


Ladies, let us not pretend to be what we are not. Be truthful to yourselves and do not feel comfortable with what you are now. Always aim for the best. Improve your Christian life. Ladies, do not get twisted when it comes to your identity in Christ. Stick to who you are. Do not compromise with your identity. The time to play with our Christian life is over, Christ is coming soon. We are living the last days. We can have many plans in our lives but our first plan must be to make it into Heaven. Do not get twisted, this life has so many things to offer to us but they are not eternal. May God help us to know who we are not and to act as who we are by the Grace of God.

Much love
Lala.

    I have been truly encouraged by this writing. I understand that I shall stand for my identity in Chris Jesus rather that being influenced by the world.as I pray for a generation who fears the Lord I shall also be an example to them too.

Ladies, do not compromise

Hello, LWM! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I did by the Grace of God. Today, I would like to encourage us to stay firm in our faith. I had a chat with a friend of mine over the weekend and we were discussing about who we must marry. It was going nowhere because the person believed that she could still date an unbeliever and still be in the Will of God. I did give her the scriptures which clearly showed that God would not allow such a relationship but it was a waste of time. I am believing God that He will convince her to accept this truth. Ladies, I would like to encourage us to stay firm and not compromise our faith in Christ. We cannot play with our life this way. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so we better be careful when it comes to choose our partner for life. I was saying to the person that I understood her view but I did not support it. I understood the fact that she said " what if I fell in love with an unbeliever?, Am I sinning?". I have been there. I ...

Ladies, are you really ready for marriage? Preaching video

Hello, wonderful ladies in Christ! I would like to share with you a video by Lady Reverend Adelaide Heward- Mills. In this preaching, she talks about marriage. As ladies, we naturally think about marriage but as Christian women we should be aware of what we need to make our future marriage to work. I love saying that many of us only think of the wedding, the actual day where we will be sharing your vows but we do not think of the life after the wedding, and I know many young ladies that got married, were happy and now are struggling in their marriages because they did not prepare themselves. I thank the Lord that there is such a message available. I am not married for now but I know now that I need to prepare myself fully before I get married. I will advise you to do the same and remember God should be the foundation of your future marriage and your relationship if you have a beloved( a person you are dating and are going to marry soon).    Much love   Lala. ...

My Valentine's day ......I felt loved ......

Last week on the 14th of February, people around the world and especially love couples were celebrating Valentine's day. Many received love gifts from their husbands, wives, boy/girlfriends. It was nice for them to see couples holdhing hands and sharing a kiss to show how deeply in love they are. Most of my close friends are either in a relationships, engaged or even married. So to enjoy this day for me as a single young lady was a bit hard. I was not deseparate because in my heart I know I have the best Valentine ever, yes my Jesus ( it sounds creepy fo you, but this is the truth for me) but still spend it with someone on my side would have brighten more my day. Some people may say because they are single that" why should we celebrate this day, at the end of the day Valentine day should be celebrated everyday", they might be right, but the truth is on the day our friends who are into relationships end up celebrating this day, so why not do it as well?
