CHRISTIAN GRATITUDE JAR: ANOTHER FORM OF JOURNALING - PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Hello, Welcome to my world. The gratitude jar is something you can do for the new year or any day. We go through life and we sometimes think, we have failed, God has not be kind to us and w are not worth it. When you get to this point, having a gratitude jar is helpful. What is a Gratitude Jar? Gratitude Jar is a  jar that you put your answered prayers, prayer topics and the miracles that happen your way into. It serves as a reminder of all the things you need to be grateful for. For example, on your way to work you nearly had an accident but God saved you. You write it down and put it in your gratitude jar. Whenever you are going through a problem, you can write it on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. When your prayers are answered, you write your answered prayers on to a paper and place them into the jar.  At the end of the year or when you feel overwhelmed/unloved/stressed, pour out the pie...

  How to demonstrate the Christlike love: Give to the needy    Quiet time (notes taken on 23/01/2018)   Introduction Today, let’s talk about how we can love like Christ did.   Prayer: Father, help us to be able to love like you do. Teach us not to be judgemental and help us show love to those who need it. Amen.   Bible Passage 1 John 3:16 – 24   How did Christ demonstrate his love for us?   16  This is how we know what  love   is: Jesus Christ  laid down   his  lif e  for  us .  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.    We can’t do the above, so then, how can we also demonstrate love?

Learn to live life in the Present: Stop doubting! How I stopped self-doubt and learned to live in the present.   Introduction Today, I will share with you some notes I took for my quiet time 6 years ago, on January 22, 2017. This quiet time helped me to shift my focus, change my perspective and to live life in the present. That is why one of my tag lines is to learn to live life in the present.   Bible Passage (Biblegateway) James 1: 5-8   5  If any of you  lacks wisdom,  you should ask God,  who  gives generously  to all  without finding fault,  and it will be given to you. 6  But when  you ask , you must  believe  and  not doubt ,   because the one who  doubts  is like a  wave of the sea , blown and tossed by the wind.   7  That person  should not expect to receive anything  from the Lord.   8  Such a person is  double-minded   and  unstable ...

Why I am still a Christian in this Era Hello, Hi, How are you doing?   Welcome to the faith column of this and that with DrAnimwaa.   Here I will share about my faith, my quite time, my testimonies and motivations.   I have been through a lot not to believe in God. I have come through so much not to think there is a super power supporting me. So yes, I am a Christian and I am proud of my faith.   I may not believe in some aspects of the Christian religion but I believe in God and in my faith.   Let me share a testimony here, When I was around the ages of 5 or 6 years old, my family and I used to live in a compound house in Alajo a suburb of Accra, Ghana.    For those who don’t know what a compound house is, I will explain. A compound house is a house where there are several home units where different families live in, on one big compound. The housing complex could be gated or not. The home units are usually closed together and tenants may share one was...
