Should Christians involve themselves with the belief of evil eye?

So for those who have read my previous blogs, you know I speak on a lot of good, happy and positive things that have happened in my life, due to allowing God to lead and direct me. I promise you that has not changed.  


However, today’s blog will be slightly different, as I feel it is my duty to speak on topics that will hopefully draw people closer to God. So today’s topic will be on evil eye. After all, this blog is about allowing God to work in my life and I feel he wants to use me to not only spread good news about my life and motivate others with it, but to spread honesty and truth also. 


We’ve all heard of it but if you haven’t, evil eye is a superstitious belief in cursing someone, causing harm to another person. Therefore people have evil eye emojis in their bio on social media, they wear it as a bracelet, necklace etc. They believe that this will bring good luck and protects you from any ill-will that could have a negative impact on your life. 


But should Christians involve themselves with this belief? Should we believe that jewellery/Amulets (believed to be endowed with special powers to protect or bring good fortune) or anything likewise such as the blue eyed emoji that was a new addition to emojis back in 2018, will protect us?


By answering yes to these questions is saying Jewellery, Amulets and emojis or anything which is similar, have more power to protect you and keep you from harm than God himself. 


The God that states “The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.” Psalm 121:7


The God that states “The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”  Psalm 121:7-8. 


The God that states “The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm.” Proverbs 19:23. 


The God that states “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6


If you truly have faith in God you will know that he is protecting you always. Regardless of the situation or circumstances that you’re in. 


Of course as humans sometimes we fear and we get scared, we worry, we overthink, we get anxious. But never let those emotions turn you away from God. Don’t let fear or worrisome make you forget who God is. God doesn’t want you to depend on anyone or anything else but him. 


I repeat: GOD DOESNT WANT YOU TO DEPEND ON ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT HIM. 


Everyday God proves to me why I should pray and communicate with him. I honestly don’t know where I would be without him. He has been so amazing to me and has shown me time and time again that he’s protecting me. He has kept me safe and well. 


For those who know about the fire that happened in my university room back in 2019, was what really increased my faith even more. God’s protection is powerful! The electric fire that started in my room could’ve happened at night, I could’ve been sleeping.  If I was standing anything closer when my extension plug blew up I would’ve been harmed. But instead God protected me from it. Some of my things was damaged and no longer had any use but I was still standing. 


I didn’t need emojis or jewellery to protect me from that or any other situation that could’ve caused me harm. I just needed God to be my shield and keep his hand on me and he has been exactly that and he can be for you to if you allow him. 


God bless x

Change

In life there is always going to be change whether we like it or not. Seasons change, your circle of friends change, your surroundings change, you even change. Your mindset elevates, you develop a better understanding of certain things that you couldn’t quite comprehend before.   Change is all apart of life. It is inevitable. Even though we don’t see it at the time, change helps us as individuals to develop into the person we are called to be. It pushes us closer to our purpose. Change is necessary for growth.  However, change doesn’t always feel good and can be looked at in a negative light. Sometimes we don’t like change, especially when we’re comfortable. Change removes that feeling of comfort, it removes that feeling of certainty and stability. Change is unknowing and can create feelings of anxiety and worrisome. Change is something that happens daily but can be very hard to cope with.  Though change can be an uncomfortable experience, it is essential. We may not understand why cer

Rejection is redirection

So we are almost 6 months into the year 2021! Crazy how times flies. To whoever is reading this. I hope this year so far has been nothing but a blessing to you. I know it’s been a hard start to the year concerning covid, however, now that everything has slowly eased, I hope you’re making the most out of it. I hope you’re enjoying yourself to the fullest and making every single day count. I hope you’re still working on the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year, and I hope you’re achieving them or will achieve them soon!   This year for me so far involves, having as much fun as possible whilst figuring out the best pathway for me. Since the beginning of the year I’ve had to make really important decisions for myself. I really did think I finally had it all planned out with deciding to go to Eastbourne, work and continue my studies (please read my first blog: “2021 the year of allowing God to work in my life”) but as we know life has a funny way of doing what it does best; “

Don't settle for average

  I talk to God almost every single day and one of my main prayer request of recent has been for God to reveal to me why I am here. What is my purpose? What is my calling? It’s good to have things going for you, opportunities coming your way, doors opening, but it means nothing if God is not behind it. It means nothing if it’s not in Gods will for you. It’s not fully clear what Gods will for each individual is but what we do know is that God has a plan for us all and he wants us to prosper. He won’t leave us to figure it out on our own, he will direct us. What I’ve realised is that when it comes to God revealing things to us he shows it one step at a time. Therefore, we just have to keep praying to him, seeking him and letting him lead the way for us. Taking the days as they come and thanking him for it. I don’t want my successes or my achievements to be worthless. I want God to be behind and for everything that I choose to do, that is why I pray. Not long after that prayer request
