EVEN THE YOUTHS SHALL FAINT (PART 1)

-
The book of Isaiah 40 vs 28-31 gave us the certainty that there will be times of discouragement (no matter how strong you are) but it also assures us of the willingness of God to strengthen us at such moments.

Grace is like the grease that prevents or reduces friction between two surfaces when they rub against eachother. If you're going through a challenge without crumbling but bouncing in faith that everything will be alright, it's because you have the grace to go through it, if that grace is exhausted, that is when you will really know the heat of that challenge. 

You might have been there before where you feel you can't take it any longer, you are tired, you can't endure beyond this, you can't wait for God's time anymore, etc. May I let you know that when you feel so, it's time for a personal time with God for infusion of Grace because the book of Hebrews 4 vs 16 says:
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need".

It's time to retreat into God's presence, or speak to someone that can encourage you the right way. I was there recently and spoke with my pastor who encouraged me and told me what to do. Truly, if you find yourself in a situation where you don't know what to do, ensure to know where you should go, else you are in for panic and confusion!

To be continued......

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 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.

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 ...
