Life can seem frustrating especially when you do your best and things just don’t work out or when you don’t get the love, success, recognition, and respect you desire. Not seeing results or seeing very little of it after intense personal efforts can hurt you badly and even make you feel less of yourself.
It is a call to be discerning and to seek the wisdom that will lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us.
For some time now, I have been trying to figure out the meaning and significance of this quote but because I did not know that it is a scripture, it took forever.
Oftentimes, when we find ourselves in certain situations and circumstances, we desire and pray that they are taken away. However, that is not the right way out.
Let’s look at it this way: Do you see how easy it is for you to give advice to someone else or show someone else how to do something than it is for you to apply the same advice to yourself?
So I want to challenge you to embrace the present moment, to savor the beauty and richness of life, and to find joy and meaning in the here and now. Whether you're enjoying a quiet moment with a loved one, taking a walk in nature, or simply savoring a delicious meal, there is always something to appreciate and enjoy in the present moment.
Oftentimes, our focus is on the fact that we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works hence, go in search of these good works. Whilst some pray for the revelation of these good works, some engage in fastings, and some choose to use other means of divination, all for the same purpose; to do the good works we have been created for.
‘The truth hurts’, right? The Christian journey is a journey of pain, torture, and hatred. It is one of rejection and dejection. Let's not look any far from Jesus, the author of our faith, the one whose footprints we step into.
If you don’t know your worth, you will go for anything that life presents to you. If you don’t know your worth, you will allow another to corrupt you and your sweetness!
Togetherness creates a sense of unity and support, which can be a source of inspiration and motivation for all involved. When people feel that they are part of a larger community, they are more likely to work towards a shared goal and overcome challenges together.
Hey! Let no one intimidate you because of your personality or their achievements. You both aren't and can never be the same. You're different people from different places heading to different destinations.
Not to be sin conscious but to become more aware of ourselves and be conscious of our words and actions. “It wasn't intentional” may be too late. Prevention, they say, is better than cure.
“...and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4
He said, “Pattern yourselves after me, as I follow Christ.” In Ephesians, he commends that we be imitators of God and walk in love as Christ loved us.
If you focus on yourself alone, you will perish
The scripture specifically stated that we should not always win arguments, and we should as well, listen to others (James 3 :17).
You're a champion...You are loved......you are of God
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein"
People! Oneness brings progress! Nothing you set your mind to will go asunder! And here’s the greater catch, not even God can stop such a people.
Have you waited long enough for God to act? How about you put Him in a position where He cannot refuse acting for you ? How about you get up and show up at where society does not expect you to show up at but you need to be at? How about you refuse to remain calm until something happens?
Understand therefore, that you are the thought in Christ’s mind, He is obsessed with how to make the marriage between you and Him sweet, peaceful, and comfortable for you.
Can you imagine how it would be like to return home to find your home ransacked, your belongings taken and most importantly, your family kidnapped? That was the state of a whole King!
When it comes to painful sacrifices, God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ are the first to be mentioned. Willingly and heartily, they give their all for us without a second thought. Their love for us is inexplicable and immeasurable.
God's love is like an ocean, you can see its beginning but not its end. Be so busy loving God, loving others, and loving your life that you have no time for regret, worry, fear, or drama. Nothing can change God's love for you.
It’s indisputable that the greatest satisfaction in a man’s life is investing in the lives of others—showing them love and being there for them. I mean, who doesn’t want to be loved?
In our growth cycle as humans, babies cannot be given certain foods until they reach certain ages. This is so in the Christian journey with regards to what is good for us to do and what is not.
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
Your mind is the garden where all seeds grow. Your thoughts, opinions and concepts are all seeds in the garden of your mind.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Dear Goodwoman, My greatest pleasure today is not writing you this letter but being the one writing you this letter.
