GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD MORNING, AFTERNOON & EVENING TO YOU ALL!!
For all my American people I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving/Turkey celebrations. I ate all the orishirishi that there was after all I only get to eat proper momma home cooking once in a while and it was so nice to take a break from campus food.
Its Monday morning and the question for the week and thought is how connected are you to people and most importantly your brothers and sisters in Christ?
Many people sees fellowship as a Sunday or Wednesday mid week service ritual but the honest truth is that it goes beyond that. Fellowship is breaking bread with one another, knowing the well being of the other person, sharing and strengthening each other in this journey we as Christian choose to embark. Overall fellowship is belonging to one another.....How many times have you overlooked the "one another" commands in the Scriptures? I will list a few of them because the one probably in your head right now is the "Love one another" command.
Love one another - John 13:34
Be devoted to one another - Romans 12:5
Honor one another - Romans 12:10
Rejoice with one another - Romans 12:15
Serve one another - Galatians 5:13
Carry one another's burden - Galatians 6:2
Forgive one another - Ephesians 4:32
Encourage one another - 1st Thessalonians 5:11
Offer hospitality to one another - 1 peter 4:9
Confess our sins to one another - James 5:16
Pray for one another - James 5:16
My prayer is that God give us the strength, ability and wisdom to connect with one another each and every day.
This post was inspired by Joshua Harris. In December I will be doing a series about Church Dating with a lot of stuff from the book called "Why Church Matter" formerly publish as "Stop Dating the Church" by Joshua Harris. It is going to be a very interesting series and I can't wait to share it with you all.
Have a lovely week y'all.

Nothing gonna hold me back
Hey y'all how are you lovely bloggers doing. So lately November has been month of traveling every weekend and its been a blessing going in all these retreat and conferences with God opening my eyes to see things that I have not experience before which is why my favorite saying is that "the word of God is new every time" because every time i read it there is always something new that I have never seen before.
I'm actually blogging on my phone from the bus from dc and I have about 8 more hours and definitely tired already but I thought I'd share with you guys two songs that's been playing in my head for well over a week now...
The first song is one of my Hillsing favorite 'Forever Reign' and the second one I just discovered last week at a retreat and I could not help but to fall on love with it.... 'Nothing gonna hold you back' by Kim.
Happy Sunday y'all many hugs and have a lovely week ahead

Who is He?
To me He is a friend, a brother, a father, and a lover all at once. To Him I can pour out my heart and He listen and hear every words that I say. With every day that I have an encounter with Him I see everything new which is not strange because His words are new every morning.
In my thought today I thought how would it feel like if Christ was here on earth physically today? Would there have been more or less believer? And if He was here today how would He answer questions thrown to Him by men. Its so amazing that Christ is Both the Son of God and yet born of a Woman, and then there are so many other things about Him like
On His mother's side He was hungry but on His father's side He is the bread of life
On His mother's side He was thirsty but on His father's side He is the living water
On His mother's side He was been nailed to the cross but on my father's side He rose again
On His mother's side He slept on the boat but on my father's side He commands the storm in the sea
On His mother's side He died and was buried in the grave but on His father's side He raise the dead from graves.
Now Imagine if He was ask as a young boy 'How old are you?' and He reply something along the line 'you know on my mother's side I'm 12 and on my Father's side I'm eternal." These are things that would make any man confuse which is why men and women on earth today get so confuse about Christ and say there is nothing like Christ and it is all a lie. The best I can say is that Christ is the best thing that have ever happened to me. I don't know about you but He has done so much for me that with every breathe that I take I just want to give Him my all in all which would never be enough considering the prices He paid for my sins.
Question for thought: what if God got tired of forgiving you?
Have a lovely Sunday and a beautiful week ahead.
