Light of the world,

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes, let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of my life spent with You


And here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me


King of all days

Oh, so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came to the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor


I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

*.* abandoning secular teachings *.*

Throughout my days in my walk with God i found myself abandoning some "false teachings" i had followed since young.Today i will bring them out to light...so make sure the next time when we have a family...do watch out for these few points.I've been through so much trauma dealing with pride in people and have been living in minor cowardice that God told me to step out in,even if i feared.


#Teaching number:1)Boys don't cry.

I dont mean to discourage anyone from having a "hard male" image and taking a "soft male"image.What i want you guys to know is the very fact that male or female,u are still human and have all rights to ventilate.We've got a crying jeremiah trying to restore his backsliding nation.We've got all sorts of depressed and crying, major and minor prophets who took the message of God to reconcile his fallen people .These prophets broke down in the prescence of God because like Jesus, their soul felt "exceedingly sorrowful,even unto death."They were mocked at,blasphemed of,persecuted,laughed at and felt intense pressure.
My own personal story is that sometimes when my parents are disappointed with me,they say all sorts of hurtful things to me,even though they sometimes say they love me.True love is patient and kind,not boastful or proud!!!

1 corin 13:4) Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited. (WEY )

Do they really love me?this question often makes me sad...they all are sometimes prideful..but i understand that..and this propels and compels me to love them even more with the capacity of God's love!!!When i feel sad because of what they've done to me (even though i have forgiven them..)it sometimes transforms into negative repercussions that haunts me.When i cry,my dad sees it,he'll want to slap me.To him,crying boys are what he calls "sissy".BUT,IF GUYS DONT CRY AND BE FRANK WITH THEIR DEEPEST HURTS,THEY OFTEN END UP VIOLENT AND BEASTLY.I dont mean that boys must cry all the time.Just be frank,let loose,get a confidante,talk about it,ask for an apology,forgive and the sun will shine on your dark countenance.Amen?? My sister once shut me out and told me i can't change her...after all the good advice i gave...man,that hurts you know!!Now i am afraid of telling about her faults.But if we do not let her know,how can we say we love her?

prov 10:12 Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love. (BBE)

Conform yourself to christlikeness.Have the qualities of Christ.Know you're identity in Him.

#teaching no 2)Children have no rights in interfering in adult matters.

We've got traumatised kids who grow up sullen and prejudiced against their parents.They get rebellious over time.Why?beacause their parents had frequent quarrels when they were young...and it can happen twice every week..or on a daily basis..depending on the degree of hatred in both parties.When the child asks pleading "mom and dad,could you stop fighting??"dad responds "NON OF YOUR BUSINESS!!DONT INTERFERE!!!I WISH I HAD NEVER GAVE BIRTH TO A RAG LIKE YOU!!" and all sorts of hurtful words.

prov 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.( KJV)

What can the child do?mull it over in his or her mind time and time again with no real solutions.Spirits come and whisper suicidal words and murderous thoughts.We need healing from trauma today...and we need to act by FAITH and believe God will heal us and give us the power to help others trapped in trauma...i believe this is a continuation,or an article that bridges to my article on God's healing in my previous post called "faith".

#teaching no.3)God helps those who help themselves.

peter youngren the ,healing evangelist said in a letter that he found the opposite to be true.why? let me explain :

1 corin 1:27 Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. (NLT)

*ps this article may be updated again for more examples on false secular teachings on life.

Thank you Lord.Heal the suicidal,the depressed,the hopeless.
let me emphasize this again.if you feel hopeless,God is attracted to you.
