THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOUR SECURITY (PART 2)

  (Continued from Part 1) Therefore, if you base God’s acceptance of you by the attitude of a brethren towards you (irrespective of his/her title), you are likely to live unhappily. Moreover, remember that emotions are never stable; Sometimes you are high and other times you are low. Therefore, allowing the way another person feels of you to determine your definition of yourself is too tragic for your healthy living; both spiritually and socially. Don’t forget that you can’t please everybody; you can only live peaceably with everyone, and don’t expect everybody to like you; just live peaceably with everyone. My spiritual father would say, “You don’t need everybody to like you, you  only need the critical people of your life and destiny to like you”. He also says, “People may not like you but live your life in a way that they can’t ignore you”. Embrace excellence in what you do and you will see people of like minds getting attracted to you. You don’t have to lose your self ...

THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOUR SECURITY

One of the things the love of parents supply to a child is Security. If you would agree with me, children who have enjoyed a good measure of love, acceptance and attention at home tend to express a good self esteem in their relationship with others than those who didn’t have them; probably as a result of marital issues between parents, or parents are travelers and too busy to attend to their children, etc.  This is also true of a woman who enjoys the same from her husband and another who doesn’t.  Love is a strengthener; both psychologically and emotionally, it just establishes your mind to be able to face life with courage. Whether expressed or not, every human seeks acceptance from those who they respect and adore/admire; even sometimes, parents seek it from their children as the latter enters adulthood and the former grow old. This is why children who suffered such nurture at home tend to seek it from their peers in school, and from other settings they find themselves. Some...

YOU ARE NOT CHEAP (Part 4)

(Continued from part 3) Never force a man into marriage with you The bible recorded that Leah was not loved while Rachel was loved. This is because Jacob never desired her in the first place but he couldn’t reject her after sleeping with her. If you trap a man into marriage by any means you choose to employ (such as getting pregnant for him), you are not guaranteed a loving atmosphere in your home which is what you actually need to thrive in life. A married woman that does not enjoy love and acceptance at home may be hostile and nag at work, she will be so angry at life and struggle with low self esteem. This is because the design of a woman is relationship-based.

YOU ARE NOT CHEAP (Part 3)

(Continued from part 2) HOWEVER, patience and determination will help you through this stage; removing your attention from these mundane things and focusing it on the future. Delay is not denial, your own man that will place the right value on you is on his way. Don’t forget that you mostly misuse anything you buy cheap. Compare your attitude to a pair of shoes you got for #300 and the one you got for #7,000. You know how you keep the latter away safely immediately you get back from an outing while the former could lie around in the room until you are ready. The same way a man would treat you; depending on the platform at which he meets you. Wait and keep developing yourself to become a wife, a high-calibre career woman and an asset in God’s house.

YOU ARE NOT CHEAP (Part 2)

(Continued from part 1) If he truly loves you As I ruminated on the passage, I re-affirmed the great value God has placed on a woman. Lady, a man that truly loves you will place the same value on you; take it or leave it. Fourteen years of a man’s life is not a joke, and don’t forget that time is life. Jacob paid fourteen years of his life to have Rachel! Carry yourself with good self esteem and walk tall with your head up. Don’t throw yourself around any man, YOU AREN’T CHEAP. From this story, it is noteworthy that when you meet a man that truly loves you;

YOU ARE NOT CHEAP (Part 1)

Sequel to the recent instruction giving to us in my church - The Dream Centre of the Life Oasis International Church - on reading a minimum of five chapters of the Bible per day so as to read the Bible through in a year, I started from the book of Genesis and on getting to chapter 29, I read the story of Jacob’s journey to Laban (his uncle), and I was amazed with some discoveries I came up with. Love determines price Although I discovered from the Bible that the gift or wage a man mostly desires is a woman[1], the price that Jacob was ready to pay in order to marry his uncle’s daughter; Rachel really wowed me. Jacob was inquired of what he wanted as wage as he continues to live with and serve Laban; a livestock farmer.

EVENING AND MORNING? (Part 4)

(Continued from part 3) The evening time is a time that your greatness is as little as a seed and you work so hard in order to make a great harvest out of it. My Spiritual Father is well known around the world today as a teacher of the gospel but there was a time he said God told him to read the bible through four times every year (he was then a missionary). He said he obeyed and he could see the result today [1] . Although he has the ministry gift of teaching, his obedience and diligence helped him to make a full proof of the gift [2] . He expatiated that if he had not obeyed at that time, he would probably not be operating at the level he is today because currently he is a pastor and a family man with a lot of people he is responsible for (both biologically and spiritually) who demand his time (of which I’m one!). He also has other assignments to the body of Christ, hence presently, he tries to read the bible through at least once before the year runs out [3] . Therefore, ...
