I still remember the moment I was thinking of changing my life to do the will of God with my life. If I remember correctly, it was the first weekend of the month of October 2014 where I decided to follow Jesus Christ in unusual way like I never did before. And this story of Jesus when he told peter to follow him made me to love reading the bible, because I was so curious to know where and how will they end up by following Jesus. Matthew 4:19(AMP), and he said to them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.at that time I decided to follow Jesus, I was also wanting to study media and be the most famous radio DJ in the province if not the country, so like I wanted so be famous for my own benefits but God wanted me to make him famous and give me a life I never imagined and wished for, because I didn’t know God at all.so since the yeah 2014 God has been shaping my life into his destiny, and I know that my life will never be the same again.
Bible is God’s word: for the word that God speaks is alive and full of power; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life(soul) and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purpose of the heart. Hebrews 4:12(AMP). but he replied, it has been written, man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God, Matthew 4:4(AMP). your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, psalms 119:1051.I have encountered that when growing up in my community many people used to tell me that God sits and dwells in heaven and we must work hard as Christians to enter heaven.
2.the impact that it had on my worldview was that we enter heaven only when we do good works here on earth.
3.this was mental blockage for me because as a human being was impossible to always do good works in a fallen world we live in and that was keeping me to have faith in Jesus Christ.
4.the bible truth that helped me to overcome this mental obstacle was that I read in the other day that Jesus Christ said he is the only way to the father or God. John 3:16(NLT)
5.i came to a saving faith when decided to study the bible by myself and learn about this Jesus Christ I heard people talking about.JOHN 8:1-11
-Analysis.
This is a story of a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery, the people who were around her took her to Jesus and said to Jesus that they have found that woman committing a sin of adultery. and the law of moses taught them that if any person can be found committing this kind of a sin that person must be stoned to death. And they were saying these things to try and test what Jesus has to say about this matter.so that they can accuse him before court of the law.-Wisdom.
However, when they persisted with their question, Jesus raised himself up and said, let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her. then he bent down and went on writing on the ground with his finger. they listened to him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before him in the center of the court.-Problem solved.
when Jesus raised himself up, he said, woman, where are your accusers? has no man condemned you? she answered, no one, Lord! and Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. go your way and sin no more. Jesus was demonstrating that he has the power to forgive sin and not to condemn people. and indeed, Jesus has the power to give new life._One of My own experiences of God enhancing hope and providing vision in My life was that twelve months ago I decided to leave the ministry I was doing in My church. and I went to join my father in his business and to me was just doing my job to survive but God was always having a better hope and a future than I’ve expected, and he Provided a new vision of My life in Ragla and I leant that God is in the details of my life.
The most effective spiritual disciplines that would benefit a new convert is prayer. Prayer is a privilege that God has designed for his children to constantly communicate with him on a daily basis. secondly is studying the New Testament scriptures especial the book of john, because the book of john talks about the new life that we have in Jesus Christ through faith. and of course, the fellowship of new brothers and sisters at a faith based and bible believing church.
Worldview is a philosophy of life or conception of the World, I also believe that it is the truth or lie that an individual can stand under and believe it.it is mostly the conviction and the conclusion of a person’s belief system, how the world functions and the origin of life in general.
the day the lord called me was just a normal day and a normal life to me,i did not plan to be in ministry at all but i loved the lord and people,along my journey of being a passionate christian the lord called me to ministry when i was preparing to study media and the lord took me to a scripture where he called peter Matthew 4:19 and i immediately lost interest in studying media and i followed the lord and my whole life changed and i found my purpose of living in this world and being called by the lord is the most beautiful blessing i ever experienced in my whole life.
