Memoirs of a Saved Sinner

Hello again (or for the first time). Welcome to another eye-opening(let your eyes open o😂) episode on the MOASS blog. Before we dive into today's topic, I want to say a happy birthday to two special friends/sisters of mine : Joan and Jessica Onotu. They are amazing and I pray that God blesses them immensely. ACCOUNTABILITY!!!! That word is one that makes many uncomfortable. "How can I give someone else the right to call me to order?" I imagine in our society, based on the construct that men find it harder to submit themselves to the authority of someone else. My brothers, listen carefully, YOU ARE NOT PERFECT, YOU NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO SOMEONE. This is not because you are weak but it makes you stronger and safer. This not-so-secret secret is very key to maintaining purity and sanity in our Christian walk. I encourage everyone to have at least one accountability partner to unburden to. When you have struggles of any kind, after talking to God to help, yo...

Hello peeps! How y'doing (go back and read that with a cooler accent 👀👀). I hope you are good. Last week was draining but God kept me and this week He will keep us in perfect peace in Jesus' name. Quick question: In whom do you trust? Before you rush to give me a religious answer like "God" or "Jesus" or "the Godhead", pause and think deeply. Who is that person that you think about and you are suddenly at peace concerning troubling situations? Another thing to think deeply about. My friend if your honest answer to any of those questions is anyone but God, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. What is this Nathaniel guy saying now? Nothing really but read this: This is what the Lord says: “Bad things will happen to those who put their trust in people. Bad things will happen to those who depend on human strength. That is because they have stopped trusting the Lord. Jeremiah 17:5 ERV I put it in the ERV for eas...

Hello once again and welcome to another week. I'm glad you could make it here despite all odds. God is still in control. I just feel the need right now to remind somebody(maybe You) that our GOD is worthy of His name. Without further delay, I would like to discuss a matter that may or may not be sensitive to you. Essentially it's about the fallacy of the freedom that we have in Christ. Many people believe that the freedom Christ offers is freedom from choice but au contraire it is freedom OF choice not FROM it. What is this guy on about today? I'm talking about the fact that surrendering your life to Christ does not somehow remove or wipe away the burden and responsibility of Choice. It would be nice if as we said the sinner's prayer, sin and temptation died to us and we did not have any choice to make but THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN(not on this side of eternity for sure). Jesus came to restore the power of choice. While a slave to sin, you had no choice. You had ...

Heyyy there! I'm glad you made it here despite all odds. I hope you had an amazing weekend and look forward to a great week because it will be great in Jesus' name. Today we get real again! We're talking "doubts" o. I don't know about you but when I was much younger I had my doubts about God's existence and His interest in humanity was a strange thing to me. His love for me that led to His death for me even seemed more unfathomable. "But now you are more mature so you have no doubts yeah?" Answer is NO. There were times even recent ones where I had to ask myself if God truly is all He says He is; all they say He is. You probably have or will experience those times and you may be tempted to entertain guilt but let me show you some scripture When John was in prison, he heard about the things that were happening—things the Messiah would do. So he sent some of his followers to Jesus. They asked him, “Are you the one we have been expecting, or sho...

Heyyy heyyy. Welcome to this week's post. I'm glad you made it here 😁. The inspiration for this title "Your Name" is a song by Onos that I have fallen in love with over and over and it's titled "Your Name". If you listen and it does not touch you even small, come and beat me 😂. It helped me out of a sticky situation very recently so I titled the post as such. There's something I want to share with you today and it may or may not shock you. You may see me or read my posts and say "Lord I want to love you like Nathaniel loves you or I want you to use me like you use him". There's nothing wrong with that really. We all aspire to attain levels of anointing we see at work in the lives of those we respect. The truth I want to share is that nobody has it together 100% of the time. Every man of God has low moments if they'll be honest with you. David, God's friend was depressed at certain times. I have experie...

Hello there! It's been a while. I trust you are well and hope you are eager to hear from God today😁. "PROPER WORSHIP". What does that mean? Singing on key? Playing instruments amazingly? Getting the timing of song?. What does "Proper Worship" really mean?🤔 Well it means more than we know. We will forever be students in the school of proper worship. We must improve daily in the quality of worship we give to God👀. My aim today beyond telling you what I just did is to open your eyes to an open secret about proper worship. This open secret like many other beautiful truths in the word of God comes from a letter written by the Apostle Paul. In Romans 12 vs 1, it says "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." NIV Presenting your body as a living sacrifice HOLY and PLEASING to GOD is ...

Heyy there! It's been two weeks since we were here together. Welcome back 😁. Last time, we talked about how you and I were not made for ourselves but for others, how our purpose is found not in self-service but in selfless service. Today, I have no idea where I'm going with this but I am going to let the Holy Spirit drive because no good has ever come of resisting Him in my experience. So let us begin! "The Blessing of Fatherhood ". Apologies to my sisters and die-hard feminists. I did not choose this topic 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️. Fatherhood as we all may agree is the state of being a Father, either by default or by choice as evidenced by a sense of responsibility for someone or something. I myself am not a father yet but I can lean on the testimonies I see of fathers all around that it indeed is a blessing to have someone call you "daddy". It probably brings a sense of pride and fulfilment as it should....
