    About this ebook

    This book shares simple truths on Godly living. Living a Godly life in today's context may be quite difficult and sometimes it is easy to get discouraged and feel that it is not something that can be achieved. However, the truth is that a Christian can experience victory, peace and contentment while on earth - it is not something reserved for the super-holy, super-righteous and all-knowing. Every normal and average Christian is within grasping reach of victory. The author of this book came to know Jesus at a time when her life was on a downward spiral. God gently taught her how to rise above all that was pulling her life in to darkness. She wants to share the simple truths that God taught her on her journey with Him and hopes that what God taught her will help others to have a walking, talking relationship with God which is the path to victory on earth.

      Walk with God……….

      Many are under the impression that Christians can do anything wrong and can go to God and ask God for forgiveness and they would be forgiven. I too, not too long ago questioned as to how that works. It is only after I started my journey with Jesus as my Lord and Savior that I began to experience and understand the transformative power of God’s love and forgiveness.

      The Christian walk is unique because it involves God walking with the Christian through his/her journey of life. By the grace of God Himself, I have experienced His very presence in my life, His leading and guiding and His love. I want everyone to experience God – it is then that you realize just how joyful and content one can be in the midst of the prevailing chaos of this world. It’s not about pretending that the chaos does not exist, it’s about remaining firm and victorious in the midst of it and pulling others out of it.

      Not every Christian walks with God. Walking with God refers to having a relationship with God and not merely knowing about Him. It is not about the formalities, rituals, feasts and memorized prayers it is a walking talking relationship where God is real and alive in your life.

      For me, there is no other person more real than God. He is the joy and love of my life. He fills me in a way than no one else can because He formed me and knows me more than I know myself. He even loves me more than I love myself. However, I didn’t see things this clearly before I understood that God’s feelings and intentions towards me are always good.

      God does not demand that I be perfect but He desires that I draw from Him the power and resources for changes that are good.

      When I look back, I remember how much I hated myself. I knew what I did, thought and felt and it was not always good. Within me I desperately wanted to be someone who pleased God but when I tried to live it out, I failed miserably – over and over again. Every morning I asked God for forgiveness for my bad behavior the previous day and set out to do better but every night I went to bed angry with myself for failing to do what I set off to do every morning and angry at everyone else because they didn’t create an environment conducive to my plans. Needless to say, I felt like a total failure before God. I began to doubt if in fact I was suitable to be a child of God.

      When I looked around, I saw other Christians who were so content and rested in life despite the ups and downs that life presented them with and I realized that there must be more than this to being a child of God.

      I was a Christian and I thought I had a good relationship with God. I went to church every week, I prayed, I read the Bible and I tried and I tried and I tried to do the right thing, yet life was a struggle. There was no peace or rest. On occasions, I felt like I was drowning in the face of the waves of trials that came my way. I struggled for years stagnated in every aspect of life, unable to figure out what was wrong. This lead to me doubting God; I wondered if God’s hand was really operating in my life, if He was really powerful, if He really cared for me and most of all if He was real because I couldn’t explain some of the things that happened to me and around me. I was doing everything
