My Maiden Post

I have never written a blog and so this is the first one, am inclined to write it because many of my friends have but most of all, i have a reason to, inspiration. But let it be known, its not all about that only, in fact many of my posts may not be of a particular topic but of the one who owns my life, My God: my love, my King, My Father, my Saviour, the one i owe my life to. He has taken me from far and i adore Him for that.

And so i dedicate this first post to my God, we can always talk about the other things later, right? :-) My background is that of Christian background, my dad is a preacher and my mum a loyal, devoted Christian, quite conservative i might add but i love her all the same. Story is i got saved when i was only 9 years, i told my mummy that i wanted to go to heaven or something of that sort, and there i said the Sinner's Prayer, in the innocence of a child.

And so i became a child of God at that age. Maybe i knew what i did that day following my polite character even when going to church, school and all other places. Clubs, pubs, pornographic music, indecent clothing all were the devil incarnated, i still believe so though am now more open minded now. But the saved child act didn't last, i slowly became engrossed in music, secular music. Music still gets to me i should confess, i love music, dancing and watching it just fascinates me. And so catchy beats to songs captured my mind and made my body move to the beat and slowly by slowly i was leaving the faith, albeit young, i knew it was wrong. In high school, i could listen to music before our movie nights but would never watch the movies, why? I still maintained that they were a secular thing. But i was being hypocritical, what difference did it make if i only listened to music and didn't see the movies? Wasn't it still sin??? Yes, it was but at the time i thought i was playing safe and still claim the title christian. How wrong i was! It was not until i finished high school and went to an ex-candidate program in KAG Buruburu that had me re dedicated my life to my Saviour. It was the greatest decision, made with honesty, repentance and knowledge that i had decided to set my life apart to my God and Him alone. Am not saying i wasn't honest when a child, i just think i wasn't aware of the seriousness of my decision to follow Christ and Him alone!!

Today, i love the decision i made some 6 years ago and its the best decision i have ever made!! Being my first blog, i urge if you don't know Him, why don't you make a step of Faith and know Him for yourself? Yes, you need to know Him for yourself and experience Him for you and you alone. Only then can you make a decision if you'll continue living your life with Him inside you or let Him go and live your life wondering what is missing??
