Foolishness Has No Place in Christianity

You cannot be a Christian and remain a fool. We are intelligent and wise on this side.

What is Simplicity?

The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless. -Proverbs 14:15-16

Dictionary Definition:

If you say that someone is simple, you mean that they are not very intelligent and have difficulty learning things.

Synonyms: artless, innocent, naive

Bible Definition:

One who is foolish, reckless, and careless. This person does not give careful consideration or thought; they are just here and there. According to the above verse and Ephesians 4:14.

A Simple Person Hates Knowledge

How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

— Proverbs 1:22

Ways to Correct Foolishness

Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make known to you my teachings. — Proverbs 1:23

But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

— Proverbs 1:33

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. — Proverbs 9:10

Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. — Proverbs 4:26

Smarten Up

How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. — Psalm 119:9-11

***

Repentance comes with a responsibility; to be disciplined.

Healing comes with responsibility, or else you will heal forever from the same pain.

Every good thing comes with responsibility. That’s the demand for growth.

Irresponsibility is simple though and the result is stagnancy.

Being physically, mentally and socially fit

Staying healthy is about being physically, mentally and socially fit. I have been feeling extremely tired lately, everyone at work is huffing and puffing internally as we throw around the word "pushing" when we greet and pass by the corridors. At first i was convinced the pills am taking my body is now rejecting, i am now relieved it is what everyone is feeling and not my treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. One of these past days i woke up feeling super uncomfortable my body was giving close to crippled bro. My reasoning behind this is most joints on my body are inflamed so my body is taking a hit. Health issues plus work can be a dead end. Listen, I have seborrheic dermatitis, I always had it I just thought i just struggle with dandruff. I was totally unaware it’s a “skin health condition “. Now it’s on my face (foreheads , brows, side of my nose and chin) and chille… it is currently flaring, the itch is so uncomfortable. I need to visit a dermatologist very so...

A gruesome morning A courageous day

It is the night of the 11th of February i get into bed i set my alarm for 4am. An hour earlier than usual because i intend to clean my house before i go to work so that when i return i am only faced with laundry for a chore. I lay down and sleep, i wake up the Lord is still sustaining me. However, i feel close to crippled. My body screams 'today is so impossible!' I get up regardless and decide to eat a bit so i can stomach the medication and give my body 30 more minutes of rest. I usually refuse to take meds as prescribed; two to three times a day instead i take them once in the evening to avoid complete dependency on the medication. This morning is different and calls for desperate measures. It is 4;30 am i decide to make my bed and activate my plan. I do so as i give thanks to God and express my hurt at the same time. I obviously question when is the end ever coming. I give thanks again for all i have and am able to do. like hope, like resilience, like peace while i ackno...

Another way to explain my excitement

I am so excited that Mpoomy Ledwaba released a book. My girl did it! Now what’s left is for me to get my hands on it. My excitement comes from reflecting on when I started watching her YouTube videos, back when she first began on the red app. She has matured in business, relationships, and as an individual. It is inspiring and a reminder of my own potential for success. I am a girl’s girl, and I love to see girls grow and succeed. Another way to explain my excitement is that she’s the kind of person who reminds me of my own anointing. Story time So yesterday, I spent two hours in the presence of my Father, talking to Him and picking His brain. I felt so much inner peace and strength; I felt happy and liberated. I learned a lot from just three points, but I will mention two of these lessons summarized into quotes. Feel free to dissect them and interpret them as applicable to your own personal experiences. - When I am faced with a situation that tempts me to ask, “What is the point?” may...
