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.

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy, he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers, like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the best ...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...

Midweek Me-Time✨😃

During my first year, I was too broke to indulge much, so this phenomenon really took shape in my second year. There was this chocolate chip cookie I used to buy from Treats store 🏬 on campus, paired with rum and raisin ice cream. I was living my best life! Those were the good old days when I rewarded myself for studying. Now, I plan to adopt a reward system for working out, submitting assignments, and completing exams. For work, I think I’ll create a midweek wellness date to celebrate reaching the middle of the week and to encourage myself to finish the week feeling happier and more courageous. When i start working again, of course. I am feeling excited to be where my feet are, to truly live.
