What it means to be a Christian

The idea of being a Christian has been quite debatable for ages in history. The objection of it being the most amplified voice.   This has brought so many questions like; who Christ is, what's the Trinity, who is God and what is life after death.  So many theories have been formed to justify and some to object the whole idea of having something greater than humanity is incharge of everything in the universe. Naturally we all have an idea of who God is, though from different understanding and perspective which we all refer to it as religion.   The foundation of Christianity is first built by the family you come from.

And sometimes may slowly influence

Lessons I am learning as a 24-year-old

Growing older seems like the best idea when you are a teenager until you get into your 20s when you face the real world with real people outside your home.  This narrative may not be similar to everyone depending on how your childhood looked like, where you were raised and the family you come from.  The reality hits you well once you join corporate or the workspace.

Salvation is one of the complex questions a believer is asked.  Despite living in a modernised world where knowledge and references are all over. A lot of information can be distorted while others might be misinformation. Salvation is a process. From the point where your soul begins to burn for God and his spirit in your life to the point where all you desire is to be consistent in showing up in accordance with his spirit.  Salvation is personal. One of the most unspoken truth. Yes, it is true our parents teachers, peers and pastor influence our relationship with God but a better part of our faith in God is a solo job. When it comes to salvation, no one rises deciding to have a relationship with God or be saved.

How to build healthy relationships is one of the rare conversations most people hold. This leaves us wondering what a healthy relationship looks or fe

Identity Crisis

Identity is one of the most important pursuits in a human that sets us apart and makes us unique. It is undeniable that having an identity is not just about having a name but rather more about getting to know yourself and allowing yourself to evolve.  Generally, your identity is who you intentionally choose to become. Which is through your aspirations and achieving your goals. In the pursuit of who you are, a part of you slowly gets caught up in the reality of life and you begin to doubt and question the vision you strongly believed in and were determined to conquer. This is what is called an identity crisis. If you are lucky enough to understand who you are and identify the direction you want your life to be driven, then you will instantly notice when you are losing focus or yourself. Unlike those who have no idea which path they should follow they tend to be caught up in infatuation of the life they desire.
