To the glory of God, my book
“it’s a journey; our walk with God” is available for purchase even in hard copy
though the hard copy is not available online till August. The book itself is an
expression of God’s goodness to me just as it tries to capture the reality of how
God elects to express His goodness in our lives. God truly works in mysterious
ways to perform His wonders. His goodness is not often the way we perceive
goodness to be but after a while we realize that it is indeed goodness.
Ecclesiastes: 3: 1
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
Some of the reasons that
instigated my writing this book is seeing believers fall away from the faith
because of disappointed expectations and the fact that they think the challenges
they face are peculiar to them. It really does get lonely when you believe your
difficulties are peculiar to you; it makes life as a believer tougher than life
already is. The truth though is people go through challenges in life but maybe at
different times so that when one is rejoicing, another may be singing a dirge.
If while you are mourning, another is rejoicing, please accommodate their rejoicing
for your turn shall come again. Life happens to all and it is like a wheel that
keeps spinning.
Ecclesiastes 9: 2a
KJV “All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to
the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean”
The style of the book is simple
just like the scriptures upon which it is based. The bible is so simple that
intellectuals and “very wise” ones consider it stupid. So simple, some “erudite
believers” feel God needs a little help to make the gospel a bit more
intellectual so that they can preach it without looking stupid. Unfortunately,
such people have ended up complicating the gospel making it more difficult to
understand. The truth is most of such people have little understanding of God
otherwise they would know that God is not complicated; you either know Him or
you don’t.
Galatians 6: 7
“Don’t be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest
what you plant.”
Sadly, having complicated our
simple faith, we have made it a burden to many and are struggling to “un-complicate”
it. Unfortunately, we are doing it in the flesh so that unwittingly, we are
propagating the gospel of the flesh which in reality is another gospel. We are
selling the idea of Christian discos, bars and such like, just to make
Christianity appear less tedious. If you want to go to disco, it is your
decision but please do not lie to yourself by pretending to have created a
special one for believers. The fact that you label a thing Christian does not automatically
bring God into a situation. Moreover, it takes revelation of God to fix this
problem.
As we go through this journey of
life, God reveals Himself to us in deeper dimensions often using experiences. This
book prepares one for this journey by providing information that prepares your
mind for what to expect. Even if you already face the challenges, the book
becomes your companion, talking to you and reminding you that God is with you so
that if you just hold on, you will come through. It is written in simple
language and very fluid style so that it does not task you but reveals God
inside you.
I totally agree. Our God is so simple. The closer to God you are, the more simple you become. God desires to have a relationship with everyone from different levels in life so He has made the gospel accessible to everyone. God is not a poser, He is just Himself, man can't understand that aspect of God. In a bid to pose and appear erudite, we complicate the gospel and complicate our lives.
