Living Faith

Signature Tune: Lyrics of Ancient Words 

Holy words long preserved

For our walk in this world

They resound with God's own heart

Oh, let the Ancient words impart 

Words of life, words of hope

Give us strength, help us cope

In this world, where'er we roam

Ancient words will guide us home 

Ancient words, ever true

Changing me, and changing you

We have come with open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart

Introduction 

Blessings to you and yours. Welcome to OH - Omolola's Hangout. 

Today, I want to share with you how I practice my faith as a Christian; believer in Jesus Christ. For me, faith is about cultivating a deep relationship with God, living out values of love, compassion, and kindness, following biblical instructions and standing strong on the promises of God. 

Here Are Favorite Ways I Practice Faith 

I Praise

I worship God through my expressions of love in singing, spoken word and dancing. Praise is a powerful expression of devotion, connection, and gratitude to God. I find deep sense of inner peace and communion when I immerse in worship. Through praise and worship, I honor, express thanks, and draw closer to the core of my being; The Creator. These practices can take many forms, from silent meditation while listening to hymns, to vocal expressions of gratitude, but they remain deeply personal or communal experiences and gives me insight and deeper understanding of my place in the world. 

I Pray 

I prioritize daily prayer. I share my thoughts, feelings, and requests with God. I connect to the Triune God, stay centered on Jesus, reflect on my actions and inactions and dwell in peace. 

Scripture Reading

Some know about Jesus but I know Jesus Christ - The Author and Finisher of My Faith. I enjoy reading the Bible, exploring stories, teachings, prophecies and wise counsel that guide me in my faith journey. I enjoy researching and doing exegesis to enable me impart lives with wisdom. 11111

Community

Being part of a faith community is essential. I support, encourage, and serve with others as we share life's joys and challenges. 

Service

Serving others is a tangible way to express God's love. Whether volunteering or simply helping a neighbor, it is a privilege to serve; I was called out to serve. 

Why These Practices Are Meaningful To Me 

Divine Connection 

This is the name of the ministry through which I serve healing to mature singles. The faith practices I do helps me feel connected to God, sense His presence and guidance in my life. 

Personal Growth

Through faith practices, I grow in self-awareness, patience, and empathy, becoming more like the person God created me to be. 

Community Support

Sharing faith with others provides a sense of belonging and support, especially during celebration and challenging times. 

Conclusion

Faith is a journey not a destination

Practicing faith is a journey of discovery, growth, and transformation. It is not about perfection but about progress. 

Through faith practices I share love, compassion, kindness, mercy and hospitality as a way of reflecting God's character in my life.

As faith gives me hope and purpose, the practices plug me into God and helps me navigate life's ups and downs with confidence, trust in God and help others do the same.

Practicing faith is a personal and ongoing journey for me. While I have transfered this value to my children and share it with family and friends, I refrain from compelling anyone. As a boy who was forced to sit once said, I am sitting because you forced me but in my mind I am standing. 

I do hope that sharing my faith practices has encouraged you to explore or deepen your own faith practices. 

Join me next time as we explore my book Living Proof: That Jesus Lives where I share the testimonies and praise reports from living my faith..
