THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED

THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED

Hello friends and family

I'll like to share my experience on something that happened to me last week.

Around 9am Monday morning I received a call from someone I didn't have his number on my contact list how that an old man came to buy airtime and mistakenly sent it to my number and then I was playing the good girl so I sent the airtime to him. Few mins later he called that the old man wants to thank me and I said ok. So during the thanksgiving the man just said I should call him back that he wants to enter his power room to go and pray. Haaaaa, yara agbara ke. I just said in my mind that I wasn't going to call him back because I didn't see the reason for anyone to go into a power house before they pray.

When he saw that I didn't call back, he had to call because of his evil intention and he was chanting some sort of incantation and i ended the call immediately because I already told my aunty about what happened and she was like she has heard something like that before and people who fall victim will start vomiting blood and I was ignorant that something like this was happening.

Back to the story, the man called in the afternoon with another number, as I picked it and saw he was the one I ended the call. So my aunty said I should call him back and confront him with the word of God and immediately I did, he was chanting the incantations and later  ended the call when I didn't stop saying God's word and never called me back.

I'm sharing this story for us not to be ignorant of the devices of the wicked, the Bible tells us not to be ignorant of all their tricks.

We're preserved of the Lord.

NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE

NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE

Several times, we tend to put ourselves above people we meet,see , relate and come in contact with for different reasons specific to us individually.

No matter how good  we see and perceive ourselves to be, irrespective of the worth and value you place on yourself in life. With the same measure of treatment you must give to others around you whether they're younger, older, richer, poorer and more relevant than you do.

Respect is reciprocal: to you who see yourself as someone to be respected and treated well, same goes for everyone around you.

The fact that you think or assume you're doing well and best doesn't give you the right to look down and boss them around. Naturally, humans are created to be egoistic,compete  and self centered but there's also another dimension to life which is change. Change we say is a constant thing. Even if by nature you're wired to be egoistic, there is always room to change the course of your behavior and actions when they tend to go out of hand. It's normal to be egoistic but when you're ego begins to drive you, the destination won't be a good place.

Learn to see others just the way you see yourself because you never can tell what good those people who come your way might do to you.

This is the more reason why you should never look down on ANYONE. Look down on NO ONE.

Something happened recently and I'll like to share. It happened that I needed to do something urgently, like it was a pressing need and actually money can get it done if I had it but then I was very rich, you know what I mean right.... And then I met this person and after some conversation, the person just said*do you know I can do this and this for you* and I'm like how on Earth did the person get to know I needed that thing at that point, I can't tell how, remember I said I just met this person and we spoke just once. Just imagine, if I had spoke rudely to the person or just assume that this one has nothing to offer or benefit me Jare, and I carry my shoulder very high refusing to bring it down.... Smile. How would the person had known I was in need of something he could provide even without me paying a Kobo. You never know how much benefit you stand to enjoy when you simply acknowledge people's presence no matter who they are, look like or appear to be.

Never assume that someone doesn't have anything to offer, assumption is a big mistake, costly one at that.

Learn to give people the benefit of doubt, give them a chance even they appear not to have what you need at the moment, everyone comes to a point in their life when they need help, so be good to everyone cause you never know where your help will come from.

Learn to: 

Accept

Accommodate

And Adapt in love  and not to look down on people just because you think they do not meet up to your standards it level.

There's more to life than being egoistic.

So, NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE

I hope this blesses you 😊

MAXIMIZE YOUR SINGLEHOOD.

MAXIMIZE YOUR SINGLEHOOD

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

[32]My desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord–how he may please the Lord;

[33]But the married man is anxious about worldly matters–how he may please his wife–

[34]And he is drawn in diverging directions [his interests are divided and he is distracted from his devotion to God]. And the unmarried woman or girl is concerned and anxious about the matters of the Lord, how to be wholly separated and set apart in body and spirit; but the married woman has her cares [centered] in earthly affairs–how she may please her husband.

[35]Now I say this for your own welfare and profit, not to put [a halter of] restraint upon you, but to promote what is seemly and in good order and to secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to the Lord.

The Bible gives us a clear difference between the responsibility of the unmarried and married. The unmarried is to care for the things of the Lord-- how they may please God while still single, pleasing God in this sense doesn't you're striving to make God accept you, No. You're already accepted in the beloved, Glory to God!

But rather what is means for you to please God is doing those things that pleases and satisfies Him.

There's no way a man given to the things that pleases the Lord will find himself doing or engaging in things that displeases Him.

As a single, your first and foremost responsibility is to God- how that you may be pleasing and holy, consecrated and set apart unto the Lord both in body and in spirit.

Your energy, commitment and strength is to be channeled to the things of the Lord

Nowadays, we find so many singles giving their strength to the things of the world instead to the Lord and then you find married men and women caring for the things of the Lord.

May we not misplace our priority.

I hope this blesses you

 Choose to maximize your singlehood for God.

                                 SHALOM.

Do you really know who you are?

DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE?Quite a number of people assume they actually know who they are or what God called them to be and who He sees them as.

God really wants us to operate in the line of His perception.
The Bible says we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and and an Holy Nation called called to SHOW FORTH THE PRAISE OF HIM WHO HAS CALLED US INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.
You might have been operating in opposite direction with what God has called you to be but what you have to do is for you to ALIGN YOURSELF into all that God has called you to be

You stand your Place in Christ, you walk from that place, remember you're sitted in Christ in heavenly places in Christ, far above all things.
Things that may want to challenge your place and reality in Christ. But you win and overcome all these through the knowledge of who you are IN CHRIST.

In Christ we live and have our being
Acts 17:28

We must never allow the troubles and difficulties that challenges our faith becloud the truth that we have a God we can call to and who will answer us anytime we call upon Him.

We take our place as children of God not in being given to fear but rather take your stand and operate from the point of victory

Lastly remember that:Those who know their own God shall be strong & do great exploit and I know we know who our God is,so let's take our rightful place in God & fight every battle against all that wants to blaspheme the name of the Lord for we know that victory belongs to God.

WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO CHALLENGES 2

In psychology, we call something"Locus of control" and it's in two part: External and internal

External locus of control is a situation in which you attribute the cause of your problem to people around you, you tend to shift blames on them for your problem. On the other hand, internal locus of control makes you attribute the cause of your failures to internal factors, you tend to blame yourself for the things happening to you.

Whichever one you've been attributing to the cause of your failures and problem, they're still not enough for you to just sit back and do nothing

In the real sense, people might be responsible for the situation you find yourself perhaps you might even be the cause, beyond the attribution you've got to stand up and take responsibility.

See what the Bible says about you:

Matthew 5:14-16

[14]You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

[15]Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

[16]Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

The Bible calls you light and salt, meaning without your light, the world can't see and and without your salt, the world will be tasteless. And the amazing thing is that a light cannot be hidden, it'll always shine no matter how much the darkness may look.

So your responsibility is in verse 16, the Bible tells you to allow your light shine before men, that means if you don't allow it to shine it won't. Let your light shine that they may see your good works. Allowing your light to shine is to an end... That men may see your good works, it is then that people will glorify your father in heaven.

                    So shine your LIGHT.

This is a question that everyone going through one problem or facing an unpleasant situation either now or later will have to answer.

Quite a number of time, I've seen people tell me how confused they are over circumstances surrounding them.

Some even blame their parents for the things happening in their lives, they tend to ask questions they themselves can't even give answers to all because things seems not to be working well.

God never does things without planning ahead, even before He starts the process He knows what the outcome will be like. 

So, the fact that you met yourself in a particular family where everything seems to be upside down and you're troubled, perplexed and you feel like giving up.

Remember you're in that family for a reason, a purpose and for a great move. Your being in a particular place  where things are not going right as it ought to be is not for you to just sit, complain and join others to say there's no more hope for you or the people around.

God has given to every man the capacity and wisdom to navigate through life, and God has blessed you with EVERYTHING you need to stand and change the course of things where ever you find yourself.

Instead of wallowing in self pity and shame, why don't you just stand up to that responsibility, not to accept the trend of those unpalatable situation but rather be a solution they've all been waiting for.

A man of God said and I quote " an annointed man is God's answer to the cry of his people" 

In that family 

In that school

In that neighborhood

In that church

Why don't you see yourself as God's answer to the cry of your people instead of you joining them to cry and make endless complaint 

You see, it takes a man that has been liberated to stand for the liberation of others. If you've not be liberation from self pity, and fear, how do you want to bring men out these positions.

No man can be a solution without first being clothed with BOLDNESS.

                                          Shalom.
