I was sooo Fake!!!

Many people are labeled or called “Fake” daily. Some people describe being “Fake” as a person that will smile in your face or be friends with you one moment then behind your back talk about you. Some would describe a “Fake” person as a person who pretends to be one way and acts another way in front of different people. I agree with both. Being “Fake” is most defiantly frowned upon and not socially accepted. As I searched for a deeper understanding of “Fake”, I began to look at it in a different way. A person can also be “Fake” towards God. Being “Fake” towards God is saying, “I am a Christian.” But you don’t act like one. Being “Fake” toward God, is when you go to church on Sunday and praise God but the rest of the week you give him no thought. Being “Fake” towards God is when you only call on him when you are in trouble or need something. (There are plenty more examples but you get the point.) I am sad to say that I was being “FAKE” as well. I would go to church on Sunday and clap my hands and sing but I was at the club the night before dancing and drinking. I would tell people that I was “SAVED” but my life did not show it. I would go to church and come home and get high. I would tell everyone I was a Christian but I was fornicating. (Just to name a few) I was “FAKE” and on my way to hell. And the worst part of it all is that I KNEW BETTER. I knew what I was doing was wrong but to justify everything I would say, “God knows my heart” or “The bible says not to Judge” so that I could be comfortable with walking in darkness. I also said, “God is working on me” but the truth be told is that I did what I wanted to do and put on a false image of being a Christian. I was a hypocrite!!! I had to examine myself. I was tired of living a lie. I was either a Christian or Not. I was either walking in light or darkness. There isn’t a gray area. The bible say in Revelations 3:16,” So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” That means that it is unacceptable and I would’ve been bond to hell. I had to examine myself. I had to change and give up those things that caused me to be lukewarm. I had to get down on my knees and cry out to God to forgive me and to show me how to be a Christian. And guess what… He did!!! God is one Awesome God. He will change you if you are willing to give up and be completely SOLD OUT… I’m not perfect but every time I mess up I am asking God to not only forgive me but to show me how to get it right the next time…

Denouncing my membership from Alpha Kappa Alpha

Image
January 15 use to be an exciting day for me, but in April 2011 something changed me... I was praying to God asking him to reveal the things to me that I needed to change or let go in my life so that I could be closer to him... I had a dream one night in April that I was holding my AKA key chain and it fell out of my hand, as it hit the floor it broke in half, the pink broke away from the green and the AKA ... broke off... It took me two weeks to be obedient because I was scared of what people would think, but I finally began my process off denouncing my membership... I told the AKAs about my decision and some supported me but to my surprise some had already did the same thing... This was a big decision but it wasn't the only thing that I had to let go to be fully committed to Jesus and to be in his will...I had to let it go so that I could be closer to God... Many people think that these Sororities and Fraternities are harmless but I noticed the more I read my bible the more i...

Stop Playing the Victim

Often times in situations such as disagreement/arguments or when things didn’t go my way in the pass I would play the victim. I would automatically get in my feelings, get an attitude and choose to respond to the situation as if everyone was out to get me. Often times I would rehearse in my head how I would respond to that person the next time we would speak. Or I would dwell on whatever didn’t go my way and go around with my lips poked out and had an attitude with everyone. Lately, God has brought this to my attention. Basically he told me,”STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM!!!” It so easy to throw myself Pity Party and of course I was VIP. I never looked at the situation from the other person’s point of view and most importantly I never looked at the situation from God’s point of view. When I started looking at the situation from the other person point of view I notice that I looked at the person and their background. I also ask myself, “Is there something I’m doing or how I’m responding that ...

Press On

This morning, before doing my hour of prayer, the enemy started putting thoughts in my head to go back to sleep and do my hour of prayer later. I have to admit I was tired and wanted to go back to sleep but I knew if I pushed it off I wouldn’t do it. So, I pressed my way out of bed and began to pray. The enemy came back while I was praying and put every thought in my head to distract me from my talk with God. However I pressed on and kept praying. I noticed when I started praying that tired spirit left me. If we could just continue to press on when things get rough or even when we don’t feel like it we will reap the rewards of being loyal and faithful to God. The enemy will try to trick you and tell you that it’s no use and that you are wasting your time. Just remember God blesses those who remain loyal to him.
