Macbook Air…I don’t wanna be a tech whore!

Ok, so I know that the title is a bit of a shocked. But there is a thing called a tech whore. In my line of business on forums we consistently remind ourselves that it is very possible to buy gear in a “whore manner”. We want it just to have it with no purpose. I consistently fight that battle when it comes to gadgets, music equipment and books (sometimes my flesh wins). Those are my favorite areas of spending. Oh yea, let’s not forget music. So I have been reading up on the Macbook Air. It looks so cool but that’s about it. There is no speed to it and it’s size is really not very work flow efficient. The size causes you to attach items to it that normally would be in the laptop. I would advise people not to buy it. Yes it’s cute! Yes it’s revolutionary! Yes it’s mac but for me. I am going to pass. If I am going to drop $1800 bucks. I will be getting a Macbook Pro (which is incredibly attractive and on my list).

So how does this tie into scripture? I know you didn’t think I was gonna write a blog without talking bout my DADDY. It’s like Proverbs 6:25 says, “Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes,” This applies to a woman but I apply it to technology. Don’t lust after technology or let it captivate you because it can stir you to sin and or idolatry. Remember there will always be something new. In the Kingdom we should go for what is “PURPOSEFUL”, not always what is fly.

My brother, My brother, My brother (Guard Your Sisters)

So we took a two day break. Let’s get back to emotional purity. What I have learned is that emotional purity is mind purity. Brothers (meaning any male) you have gotten a bad wrap throughout time, especially if your ancestors were involved in any form of slavery on either side.

It’s hard out there for a brother….when you are used to not knowing how to treat women. Brother’s you are in charge of guarding our hearts. If you see a female falling for you or sending signals, cut it off at the head. We know you like the attention, we do too, but you as a man know from the gate what your intentions are. Let them be known. If you do not desire to marry the woman, leave her alone completely if she is sending signals. Or learn how to be the sister’s friend with no other motive but to love her as a sister.

I was once told women date hoping the man will marry them, men date knowing they will marry that woman. You know your intentions. Be honest, respectful and compassionate.

Many brothers do not know how to treat a woman with respect, dignity and honor because they were never taught how to. How do we know? If someone says something about your female family member, you are ready to fight. But if someone makes a disrespectful comment about a woman that you do not know you are ready laugh.

Brothers you have to step your game up to guard not only your emotions but our emotions as well. Relationships are not simply about having someone when you need or want them. They are about changing your lives and the lives of those around you.

As a brother before you should even consider a woman you need to have a clean heart, finances in order and already working the vision that God has for your life. (Ladies if he is not doing these things back away.) It is a terrible thing to enter into a relationship and have to depart because you do not have your heart, emotions, spiritual life and vision in order.

Brother’s search for a wife and not simply a girlfriend, desire to leave a legacy of a long healthy prosperous marriage and not simply a baby mama (No condemnation if you already have children).

In order to apply this information, you have to be real with yourself. Are you ready for a wife? Are you still struggling with lust, masturbation, former heartache, abusive tendencies, comparing every woman to the other women in your life etc? Brothers get your heart right so that he that findeth a wife can cover the wife that the Lord has given. Brother’s if you are not right with God and living according to His word, your entire family will be off balance you are the head and the covering of the family. Be an example not a hindrance to the plan of God for you and your future/current family.
Loving my brothers,
CHRISTina FAITH

Focus verses:
Psalm 119:10
I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
Psalm 139:23
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Colossians 3:12-14
12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity

Let Him find you

So ladies, let us speak about being the pursued. I know from personal experience we live in a “New Age” that holds strong to the concept of independent women. There used to be a time when the woman was the one pursued but now we have no problem “hollering” at the man. We see something we want and we do what we need to do to get it. So we pursue the brothers. When we do this we take away purpose from the man. He was created to find us. Not the other way around. Many of us have quoted, “He that findeth a wife findeth a good thing” (Proverbs 18:22) but we forget the latter half of the verse “he obtains favour from the Lord”. Ladies we have to raise our standards. When your husband finds you, he obtains favour from the Lord. Wow! We are that special to God that when our husbands find us they get an extra bonus from God.

Let us learn to be pursued. Men by nature are hunters. They were created to find us and provide. We were created to be helpmates to them. You know the two become one. Now I am not saying be a housewife (unless that is your calling) but we have to know our positions. Let us learn to be dependent on God that our “independence” as single women does not harm our relationships in the future. We are so important to God that He wants the men to search us out like the treasures that we are.

Learning to be pursued,

CHRISTina FAITH

P.s. brothers I got something for you all tomorrow.

Why wait? Why not date?

Good afternoon all,

So the emotional purity topics have been hitting home. Many have asked questions and made comments about how the messages have been helpful and encouraging.

Let’s talk about waiting instead of dating. What is dating? Dating is the world’s alternative for courtship. I like to describe dating as “testing the waters…without a defined yes of getting married in the near future (not 5-10 year from now)”. Dating allows you to sample the product. See if you want it. Play with it and send it back. If and when it does not meet all of your standards or there’s it’s time to go. Dating is a easy way to say I am feeling you, “I love you” or I like you but your not worth marrying to me or I am not ready now. If you are not ready, stay out of the kitchen. Dating heightens your chance for divorce as well. When you date and leave you develop low tolerance for staying committed in a relationship. You get used to breaking up. Which is “divorce” without papers.

Courtship says, “I just want what God has for me and I am welling to put in a life time of commitment to obtain what God has”. I personally have decided to “WAIT”. Now let’s not get it twisted more than a couple of brother’s have tried to court me. But I refuse to settle for “less” than what lines up with the promises of God. During my wait God has raised my standards. I don’t fall for the “okey doke” anymore. I almost feel a couple times because of impatience and lust of the eyes.

So today let us wait on the Lord for our mate and everyday remind ourselves. I am waiting because I am worth the wait. Not just sexually but emotionally as well. Dr. Ron Rannikar author of Choosing God’s Best stated, “It takes faith and courage to wait on God, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord’ (Psalm 27:14). Waiting for the Lord means pausing for further instructions…God always saves His best for those who are willing to wait for it” (28-29).

Loving you all,
Christina Faith

P.S. post your questions in the group or message me. Please invite your friends to the group on facebook CHRISTina FAITH Supporters ☺

You say He/She is just a friend

So I was thinking. I see a lot of females with male “friends”. Ladies we should be evaluating these relationships. We should talk to the brothers about these relationships so that we do not begin to replace our “friendship” with “invisible” companionship. At times we can use our male friends and female friends as substitutes for what we truly desire in a mate. We start hanging out, talking on the phone late nights and thinking about each other haphazardly. Be mindful not to enter into “invisible” relationship with people of the opposite sex and or same sex. By doing this we damage our relationships, hearts and emotions. Define the relationship if this is the case. Put boundaries in place to you’re your emotional purity. Check out emotionalpurity.blogspot.com on more information about maintaining emotional purity. It’s not enough just to be physically pure we must be emotionally pure.

Love ya,
CHRISTina FAITH

"WOW it is so easy to become emotionally attached to people"

Over the last two months I have had to check my motives and interactions with two brothers in Christ in particular. As time went on I realized that I was in danger of attaching myself emotionally too them. Nothing to deep but I would find my mind wandering towards them. As I immediately attacked those thoughts and casted them down keeping my thoughts fixed on Christ. I realized WOW it is so easy to become emotionally attached to people you are physically, mentally and spiritually attracted to. Are you practicing emotional purity? Are you daydreaming about someone in particular? Are you investing time, energy and prayers for the wrong reasons? Are you flirting to get attention? Are you doing things specially for this person that you wouldn’t do for another? If you are, check those things at the gate…you are living an emotionally impure life.

Let us not commit emotional adultery, incest nor fornication. By developing unhealthy relationship in our minds or in the physical with people we know do not feel the same way about us nor desire to enter into courtship that leads to marriage. Press to keep your emotions pure!

Colossians 3:2 (New International Version)
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Happy New Year from Kingdom First Media

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Wishing you every happiness this Holiday Season and prosperity in the New Year. Thank you for being our brothers and sisters in Christ and faithful consumers. We look forward to continuing our relationship in the coming year.

We Pray:

That in this new year that we will allow Christ to invade our hearts allowing Him to change us from the inside out. We pray that this is not just another year. It is our hearts desire to see the visions, talents and spiritual gifts in your lives begin to flourish for the edification of the body of Christ, redemption of the lost and glorification of the Triune God.

This year therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day (year by year). For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4 4:16-18 NIV)

Therefore this year pick of your cross and go. For the world is waiting and travailing for the coming of Christ and spreading of the good news. Be about our Father’s business.

Thanking God for You all,
Kingdom First Media
