Life Questions

Hi there, what sort of questions do you have? Perhaps try handing over one.


As far as life is concerned, here is one of the most frequently asked questions: most people ask what our purpose of life is -- why did God create us. Why did God create human beings in the first place? Why did God create Adam and Eve?


God created us to first have a relationship with Him. He wanted children, so He created us in His image -- in the image of God. And He would spend time, everyday, with Adam and Eve, chatting with them and building that relationship with them. It was a beautiful time.


But as we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God when they took of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil which they were told not to take. And their eyes were opened -- their ignorance shattered -- sin entered in. That sin separated them from God because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.


The relationship between man and God has been broken -- the closeness, that beautiful thing they had. But to make it worse, they were also bound for death. Instead of living forever, the wages of sin is death. God was heartbroken, so he had a plan to rescue them.


His plan was to pay for their sins which could only be done by redeeming a life for a life -- his own. So to earth He came, as a baby, to live as humans, showing us how to live without sin, and to finally die for humans, paying the price of blood -- a sinless man paying for the sins of the world, but brutally. Every stripe of the whip He received, was to pay for our healing. His blood, redeeming and therefore powerful to use as evidence of our salvation.


Now, anyone who accepts this salvation shall be free to live eternally, instead of going to hell where sin had condemned us to previously. The path to heaven has been reforged, and we can now live with Him, both while on earth and after we die, to graduate to Heaven, where He has made a home for us, to live with Him forever. And that is a beautiful thing.


This means that once we accept this salvation -- Jesus -- into our hearts, we have reforged that relationship with Him. We can come to Him freely, without the need for a mediator. We can hear His voice, and casually spend time with Him everyday as it were from the beginning, and as it ought to be. With this relationship, we have achieved our purpose in life, and without this relationship, there will always be a hole in our hearts, and we will always be longing for Him, and breaking inside.


So all you have to do is to tell Jesus you want Him in your heart and that you accept His payment, which He paid for on the cross for your life, paying for every sin you ever committed, making you now sinless -- and your life will change. Forever. It's really that simple.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Will I really go to Heaven?

Not a crazy question at all, and I am glad you reached out because it is so so important that you have assurance of salvation. It seems to me that what is lacking here is an intimate relationship with the Lord because if you are constantly in a two-way communication, there will be no room for this sort of fear or anxiety because He calls you by name and you hear His voice everyday in your devotion and prayers. Do you hear His voice? If not, find time to read the Bible and ask Him questions or share your heart before reading so that when He replies you on the same topic, you know He is speaking and you are hearing correctly. The Holy Spirit speaks all the time -- we just need to listen. Worshipping God is like the water you drink, prayer like the air you breathe and the Word like food you eat.  We pray without ceasing -- prayer is talking to God. We talk to Him about anything and everything from the moment we wake up till the moment we lay our heads and even throughout the night. Pr...

The Angry Father

Hungry people are angry people. That’s why it’s so important to make it a point to have fruit time an hour before meals for two reasons: one, to keep anger at bay, and secondly, for enzymes.  It’s quite obvious who is at fault. And mama bear being mama bear would definitely defend the kids and put dad in his place. Been there, done that. It’s only natural.  But what is the right thing to do as a mom and wife? Lashing back will only ruin what’s left of that marriage. If the dad complies, calling the dad out privately is the best answer there is. Try to calmly explain the situation to him and encourage him to apologize for his bad behavior. If he doesn’t comply, just keep quiet or even remind your kids of the importance of speeding up when daddy gives an instruction…… and teach them to communicate better— that should acknowledge that she has heard him and are working on obeying and request extra time if necessary. Then, when daddy is not around, remind them again that they are l...
