Corruption and Christ

In my continued discussions on matters corruption and careless living, I'm of the conclusion that it's not a lack of morals but rather the sin problem (Romans 3:23).


You see, sin’s nature is to take the good and make it bad. Everything that God set up as good, man and the sinful nature collided and ruined it (Genesis 1:31; Romans 7:18).


God, in trying to fix things, set up rules, but we kept on breaking them (Romans 8:3). He set up rulers, but we never bothered to follow them (1 Samuel 8:7; Hosea 8:4). So He changed tactic and reversed the order of creation. Initially, the order was: places (heaven and earth, Genesis 1:1), particles (occupants of the places, Genesis 1:20-25), and people (managers of the particles, Genesis 1:26-28).

The problem started not with the places or the particles, but the people—our brother Adam and his girlfriend 😀🤦 (Genesis 3:6-7). Wasione hii blog please. So God changed tactic and decided to fix the problem from the root. His tactic became to transform and renew the people first (Romans 12:2), what Jesus called being born again (John 3:3), then the rest will fall in place (Matthew 6:33).


This is why the mandate of making disciples needs to be taken more seriously (Matthew 28:19-20). If people are not transformed through the renewing of their mind, if they're not born again, please lower your expectations below C level. That's a D. Every result will be destructive, disruptive, and devilish (John 10:10).

Don’t demand change, introduce them properly to the change maker. Our Lord Jesus—and then they and their children will be saved (Acts 16:31). Safe as well.

I was wrong about marriage.

Image
Someone once joked and said that “Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.” No marriage, no divorce, right?😀🤦 But seriously, we live in wild times. People are marrying same gender, animals, themselves—even inanimate objects. And guess what? Some of these are legal in certain societies. But what did marriage originally mean? Biblically, it started with KNOWING  ðŸ˜‰ — yes, sex. Adam saw Eve, liked her, and knew her. No priest. No parents. No papers. That got me thinking: when does marriage actually start? I've asked around — “ When did you get married? ” The answers are all over the place. To share a few, some say, “Wedding day.” Others, “When we paid dowry.” while others say, “When we started living together.” Again, is it either of them or some of them combined? But those factors didn't exist in Eden. So I turned to God with the same question. His answer? “ WHEN YOU COMMIT TO HER. ” Not when you sleep with her. Not when you sign papers. Not even when your guardians approve...

Dear Parents, pray.

Image
Parenting is not just physical care—it is spiritual warfare. The story of Abraham and Lot (Genesis 18-19) teaches us that we cannot assume our children will follow God simply because we raised them in the faith. We must intercede  for them as well. Below is a structured prayer guide based on this biblical account to help guardians stand in the gap for their children.   1. A Prayer of Surrender: Acknowledging God’s Authority. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25) Prayer : Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that You alone are the righteous Judge. You see the hearts of my children better than I do. I surrender them to You, knowing that only Your wisdom, mercy, and love can truly transform them. Help me trust Your ways even when I don’t understand them. Declaration : I release my children(insert names) into Your hands, Lord. You created them, and You know their future. I will not live in fear but in faith that You are working in their lives.  ...

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from lad to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own f...
