Why do you believe?

Do you believe in Jesus?

Do you believe in the word of God?

If yes, why do you believe?

If no, why do you not believe?

What are the claims of your belief? What is that which you can stand on when you say you believe? 

I read a book by Trey Gowdy with the title: "Doesn't hurt to ask" in 2020; The main theme of the book spoke about questioning your beliefs. It spoke about knowing why you believe what you say you believe and being able to defend that belief whatever comes.

 Paul says to be ready to defend your belief in Christ as well. 

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. I Peter 3:15"

Why do you believe in what you say you do? Can you explain it to the layman? How prepared are you for the days ahead when you will have to defend your christian faith or lack of one? What will you then claim to be the reason? 

When you say the spiritual controls the physical, how do you know this is true? What makes it true? What makes a term called belief true as well?

Lately, I have been back to questioning a lot of things and I invite you on this journey with me.

With what will you defend your faith when asked? You cannot be on the sidelines. If you claim to be a lukewarm christian and that it does not matter then on what grounds are you authorised to be a lukewarm christian? What verse of bible supports it and if no part of the bible supports you being lukewarm then why do you choose to remain lukewarm? Upon whom will you draw your convictions from?

No human is self made because every human is shaped by different relationships just like no conviction is gotten from just one person's thinking. 

 By psychology, I know we are all influenced before we can even reason properly; from childhood hence, the reason why my statement above stands strong.


Why do you believe?

Why should I be convinced to believe in what you do?

April 2021 - All Hail Omokhuwa: the Hair stylist || The Breaking

I matriculated this month and because I could not afford to make my hair, styled my hair myself in the morning before leaving, my mum really wanted to come for my matriculation but somehow fell sick so my elder ones came instead.  Matriculation connotes something of joy to people but I wasn't really happy, I felt shame and at the same time, I did not post anything because I wanted to keep my life private however, I posted a picture due to my hair, I wanted people to see the beauty but unfortunately, I had not taken any picture without the cap and gown for my hair. The picture I posted👇 This is a spillover for you. 🥰 Despite all this, this was a very depressing month for me, I was going through a lot of things and not talking to anyone about it, it messed up with me a lot, and at times, messed up with my relationship with people. I was reading something into what was not. I had days where I would cry endlessly and it always transited into other ...

February 2021: I have to leave Landmark University! || The Breaking

I had mixed feelings about being in LMU, people would see me as my brother's sister, those who were keen on the information and I would just be Elisha's sister, in a sense to them. A good name makes way, yes but we went to the same secondary school as well.  I had some assignments God had given to me before now as well which was to be online, I had also started a #learndailychallenge on twitter and without a gadget, it seemed I would not be able to do them till much later, I did not mind not having a phone, I just did not know how things will work out.                                         *** Although it was a time of bliss for the two weeks I stayed, I was in pain at certain periods of time in that first week and when I felt overwhelmed, I either laid on my bed and cried or went to the bathroom. I was tired, this was the second university I would be in. The next week, I went to t...

A New Year Push

Happy New Year! 🎊 It's a new year and I am quite sure some of us have written our new year resolutions forgetting the one we wrote last year, 2021, that we could not accomplish. For some people, t hey are still working on their new year plans while some others have decided that New year resolutions are nothing and so they will not plan. A new year means different things to people. For me, a new year means starting a blog.. a new phase of taking my writing to an even larger audience, Jesus advised me to by the Holy Spirit. So, if anything, we have him to thank for this.  I am Omokhuwa, Omokhuwa is an Edo name and it means Child is wealth. I am basically telling you that I am wealth seeing as I am a Child. I am a writer, a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, an influencer and Jesus's Bride amongst other things. Once again, It is  a new year and this new year will come with prophecies as with previous years, prophecies that if not built on, will remain only in a ...
