Truth



I am currently learning about the Truth!

Let me ask you a question?  Are you living the Truth of the word of God?

Can you say that – your life is based on nothing but the truth of the Word of God?


In one of my quiet times with God, I have learnt that, even if I do not live the Truth that is in the Word of God, it does not change the fact that it is the Truth! So guess who is the looser?


For example, if I don’t believe that God loves me, it does not change the fact that He loves me! I can mourn all day but He loves me Period!


So, the other day I prayed to God and asked Him to open my eyes to all areas of deception in my life and free me from all deceptive bondages and lead me to His eternal Truth.


Okay, this is what I believe.

  • If there is a Christian life to be lived, then I want to live it to the full.
  • If there are truths in the word of God that need to be applied in my life, then I need to live and apply them.
  • If Jesus died that I may have an abundant life- then why not have it all!

Really what’s the point of being a half baked Christian?

What’s the point of believing some things in the bible and living like some of the texts in the bible do not exist at all?

I have learnt a new one. When I am faced with a situation- I ask…what the truth about this situation?

It is that truth that sets me free. Sometimes I do not want to hear it, but it is the TRUTH.

Picture this. I am worried about a certain situation and have been worried for days. First and foremost- that is asin (The bible says-Do not worry!!). So a part from the fact that I need to go before God in repentance for worrying, I need to face the Truth. The bible says, do not WORRY. Period and when I choose to walk in disobedience and worry, it does not change the Truth that I should not worry.

I believe that the enemy capitalizes on deceit; he likes it when we have half truths and live pitiful Christian lives, while Jesus died so that we may have an abundant life.

So I dare you today- just like I have been daring myself. If there are TRUTHS to be lived, I choose to live them, honestly, as one preacher said, if Jesus died that we may have life and have it in abundance it must be a sin not to live such a life.

...and I know I am preaching to myself so help me God!.....

  1. Amen! I know you've found, as I have, I write what I need to hear/do in my own life. Pilate asked Jesus:

    Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. (John 18:38 KJV)

    But Pilate didn't wait around for the answer. Thank God it is written down for us to study and that the Holy Spirit is available to bring it into remembrance.

    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26 KJV)
