Lyn SIYA
Founder of The Believer Newsletter
Dear Readers,
We have embarked on a brand new year and we all should remain steadfast and true to
the God in us. Let us serve HIM in the beauty of holiness. We should be so much in love
with serving God and living for HIM that others want to know why we serve HIM so. Let
us not become a people that stray from the path of righteousness but continue keeping
on abiding by HIS word.
Let’ s share Yahweh with the world, let our light shine for HIM. So many issues are
plaguing the societies in which we live from diseases, violence, drug abuse, prejudices
and other types of evil. Be in prayer for each other, hold each others’ hands and
continue to be who God wants us as HIS people to be.

How Are You Living For God ?
As long as I have been attending Church I have always no-
ticed the division among congregants. Many of us go to Church
for various reasons: Some to praise God, some because of tradi-
tion and others because they want to be away from their home
for a while. Many individuals can attend Church every Saturday
or Sunday BUT not really be serving God.
Why do we seek to criticize those who do not regularly attend
Church? Everyone of us was created in HIS image and from the
elements of HIS earth. So why do we not call and reach out to
those individuals who are straying? I see living for God as not
how often someone attends a Church service on a Sunday or
Saturday morning BUT how that person’s life reflects HIS glory
on their job, in their school setting or home life.
So many of us go to Church and camouflage our negative and
toxic attitudes once we are getting a pat on the back from the
Pastor or those holding specific titles BUT will still seek to harm
our brother or sister verbally or physically. Where is the Chris-
tian love here? We need to stop attacking each other and love
each other. When we are truly living for God we should be
showing behavior that is reflective of HIM. We the believers
must be showing the world Yahweh in our dress, behavior and
other aspects of our being. Let people admire the God in us.

JUST THINKING OUT LOUD
Some people are so arrogant in life but I am just thinking
out loud
Many have their heads so far in the clouds but I am just
thinking out loud
Full of greed, maliciousness and envy but I am just think-
ing out loud
Some do not care about what is happening around them
but I am just thinking out loud
We live in a world that needs righteousness but I am just
thinking out loud
Some day I hope to live in a world where peace resides but I
am just thinking out loud
A world where love, peace and joy are is really a sight to be-
hold but I am just thinking out loud
No more hate, despair and bad luck but I am just thinking
out loud
Let us all love each other and hold each others’ hands but I
am just thinking out loud
