An introduction to:

The Spiritual vs The Physical

-
By Oseyi Omokhoa Mission Scripture: Ephesians 6:12 “ 12  For we are not fighting a gains t fles h-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” “Light in the Darkness” is what every Christian is called to be. A role that consists of shedding light and sharing our light with the masses. Correcting assumptions about Christians, teaching the Word of God, correcting misinterpretations of the Word and covering topical issues from the view of a Christian. That verse is the foundation of this project; in this time of hatred and violence we must remember that the people who partake in racism, xenophobia etc. are under the influences of evil powers. Now I’m not saying that they are not responsible for their actions because they definitely are, what I’m trying to say is that as Christians our first reaction shouldn’t be anger and retaliation but praye...

Medical School Testimony

-
 By Oseyi Omokhoa My testimony   This testimony has been 2 years in the making and I am so excited that I can finally share it.  I hope this inspires someone to trust in God’s plan because He really knows best ~ Jeremiah 29:11   11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a doctor; partly because I spent a lot of my childhood in the hospital and also because my mum was a nurse. I lived in Ireland at the time, but I had always wanted to go to University of Cambridge to study Medicine. I was and still am very ambitious so I wanted to go to a world renowned university. I thought that going to such a prestigious school would validate my intelligence, boy was I wrong. In Year 12 my focus was to get into Cambridge, that is all I wanted to do. I was so sure that I would get in that in year 12 I only went to a Cambridge o...

How's your Mental?

-
By Oseyi Omokhoa   Everyone struggles with their mental health at one point or another, and I’m not talking about diagnosable mental health exclusively. It may be something as seemingly little as intrusive thoughts, paranoia, acute anxiety or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). A lot of the time we want to come off as the ‘perfect’ Christian whose life is only full of testimonies and blessings. But it’s important that we are also discussing the negative things in our lives. Talking about mental health is hard, it makes you vulnerable, but that vulnerability can really help you, as well as someone else. A few weeks ago I saw the viral video of Kanye West having a mental breakdown at a political rally. From what I was able to gather the breakdown came from him talking about how he was almost aborted by his mother and how his daughter was almost aborted too. Most of the comments I saw were people saying that he is a grown man why is he so upset about this and etc. Being almost aborte...

How to be a light in the darkness

-
By Oseyi Omokhoa Hey everyone, I'm writing this post from quite a raw place right now but firstly I want to thank God for strengthening me and being my Comforter. Through the trials the Lord has always been with me so I have to thank Him! Dedicated to my Mum, Dad and Brother. RIP    So the title of this blog was inspired by the Holy Spirit when I was watching a video of peaceful protesters singing ‘Waymaker’ at a BLM protest. The Bible calls us to be a ‘light in the darkness’ – Ephesians 5:8 but what is light and what is darkness?   Light is a natural agent that makes things visible John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”   Darkness is th e absence of light, therefore things are harder to see Genesis 1:2 “The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.” As we can see, darkness and light are polar oppos...

A poem

-
By Oseyi Omokhoa I say that I love You, Because You loved me first, Then why do I run, when tough times come, Why do I hide from Your light in my shame, When I know You died to save me from my pain   I say that I love you, When times are smooth, When I feel Your presence around me like a hug, But when clouds hide Your light, And the path starts to twist and wind, Why do I feel like You’ve left me behind?   Is it because I forget Your promises? Is it because a fog of doubt stops me from seeing You, Or is it because my faith is fickle? Lord I know I love You, But please help me to remember just how much, That in the dark times You will be my crutch, And in the good times in You I will trust,   But for now I will say, Thank You Jesus, Because I now know that Your light is always there, Even when I am gripped with fear, Or when I am smiling from ear to ear, Your loving light shines on me, And I see the beauty of Your Wor...

Prayer of Rededication

-
This is a prayer for anyone who has made Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour but has strayed from the path of righteousness and would like to find their way back. Oh Lord I give my life to you Take me as I am and shape me to be like you Use me to better your kingdom Help me that I will not miss it Rewrite my name in the Book of Life  That I may dwell in your presence all of my days In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen   To rededicate: give entirely to a person, activity or cause. By saying this prayer you have given yourself entirely to the Lord. You have been renewed in Him, all of your past sins have been erased and you are once again a candidate for His kingdom.  Colossians 2 :6-7 6  And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7  Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankful...
