BE PATIENT WITH YOUR PROCESS


Just after i gave my life to Jesus, patience was one of the fruit of the spirit the Holy Spirit cultivated in me. I know this because i wasn't naturally a patient person. The Holy Spirit taught me that quality.

It was later on in life i began to see reasons He did that. As a very young teenager, i could not fully comprehend what life is about till i started growing into maturity and then i knew, patience is really a must have virtue to get by through life generally.

I'm sure you grew up with some or lots of great expectations about your desires in life and expecting it to turn out as you've planned it.

But sad to say, it usually don't work out the way it's planned because of some external factors like unforeseen circumstances, obstacles, events, financial contraints, limited resources or even personal factors like health challenges, self sabotage, inner conflicts, lack of necessary skills and knowledge and so on.

When we experience 'delay' in fulfillment of our laid out plans and goals, we either beat ourselves up, get drowned in the pool of depression or wallow in the demeaning  thoughts of low self worth or even blame God for blessing others quickly than usual while we're still far behind.

Never allow such negative things put you down. Be patient with your process.

Everyone has a certain structure of destiny and journey. We are never wired in same manner. For the fact your mates and peers have 'arrived' or are having substantial results now doesn't mean you won't.

The difference between a pregnant woman and a nursing mother is time....just TIME!
For the fact the nursing mother is being celebrated cause of her child doesn't mean the pregnant one won't be celebrated. Her TIME hasn't come yet. She has to be patient with the process of carrying the child and bearing the pains until she delivers.

So dear friend, you are pregnant with your blessing. It may be some days old, weeks old, months old or years old depending on the time you conceived it, just wait for it.

Signs may look like nothing is there or no progress looking at how 'slow' the process is but don't give up because though it may tarry, it will surely come to pass. If God has promised it and you are putting in work diligently with great expectation toward that goal, don't stop believing.

There are some factors that may be beyond your reach to handle, yes! Stuffs like that happen but stand and hold God strongly cause only those that stand with Him can stand out in life.

At this juncture, a good relationship with the Holy spirit is paramount. Life is too complex to thrive without the presence of the Holy spirit. He reveals purpose and enables you achieve it. The beautiful thing about it is the fulfillment His presence and guidance brings. Give the Holy spirit a chance.

Just wanted to encourage someone out there.

God bless you.

HOW POSSIBLE IS PURITY IN A PERVERSE WORLD?

We live in a world where premarital sex, lust, and diverse sexual vices are thrown at us on the face. Sensual pictures, movies and music that promotes and instigates pornography, masturbation, lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, rape, lust, etc are rampant, virtually everywhere. It takes advance discipline and utmost reverend for God to be able to resist it. When you access the internet, its there. When you read through some magazines, its there. What about the television compiled with various TV channels with different commercials, ads, movies, operas, shows, etc, it is in its abundance.  These days, almost everything we view promotes lust. Even ads; mere ads. Those that value their christian faith and purity can't even watch television in peace. You'll have to keep changing and switching channels to guide your eyes against scenes that defiles the mind. Even the streets are cluttered with immodestly dressed women and men. They are on every sidewalk and every corne...

HE WAITS FOR IT

I love that feeling I get when a person who seeks my downfall gets so disappointed as a result of his planned scheme against me being totally frustrated. I really do love it. It communicates that I can't be touched, harmed or disadvantaged by the enemy. It makes the fact about God being with me evident to me. I'm certain Jesus had that satisfactory feeling when He overcame the temptations the devil brought His way during His retreat in the wilderness. Imagine being highly tempted three times around the same time and all temptations are in sync with the desires of the flesh. However, Jesus overcame him with a simple tactics..." by the words of their testimony" ( Revelation   12:11).  Until tomorrow, this strategy is most relevant for overcoming any hurdle, challenge or temptation. How does this correlate with today's article; HE WAITS FOR IT? Luke speaks of a reality Jesus experienced and every Christian equally experiences.   See this: "Now when t...

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

An eye for an eye is no new idiom. You must have heard of it or use it yourself. Either way, that idiom is something a child of God should never use but apply a different approach to it. An eye for an eye is a language used by those who seek justice (a repay) of wrong(s) or evil done to him or her. But in as much as justice is good and in many cases approved even in scriptures, same scripture gave room for mercy and forgiveness.  Unfortunately, many christians take laws into their hands by "wanting their offenders eye for the eye taken from them". They want to equivalently retaliate for the pain, backstab, hate, gossip or any sort of evil done to them in other to satisfy that hurt. But this is contrary to what Jesus preached. Jesus taught two vital measures you should take for any wrong or mischief done against you.  Before i talk on these two keys, I'd love to reveal what the Holyspirit personally taught me from the book of Ephesians on this subject of reveng...

A GEN Z PROBLEM

You don't have to be surprised by today's blog title. I can assure you that there are challenges this generation are faced with that the previous generations didn't experience.  Just stay with me on this ride. In case you don't know what Gen Z is, GEN Z (Generation Z) is a term refered to individuals born between 1997 and 2012. It isn't really a professional term used to identify those born in those years but it was coined by few individuals. However, it's use gained wide spread around 2010 to 2015 particularly amongst marketers/advertizers, media outlets, researchers and youngsters especially in social media world. I said something about the previous generation known as the millennials (those born between 1981 to 1996) who didn't really face the problems of the 'Gen Z's. "What could it be? "  Simple, SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURE. Prior to the 21st century (2000's), it is recorded that the world was already digitalized but the soci...

GOD IS COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY: An Experience

Last Sunday's service sparked in my memory an experience I had with a cultist few months back. The sermon, "THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS ANGELS OF PROSPERITY" by my mentor, Pastor Victor Akah cemented my belief in God's total protection, the ministry of His angels and the consciousness of their presence in my life. However, I want to show you by the spirit and my experience that God never fails to protect and deliver those who are His.  It was on a Saturday evening. The weather; beautiful, fit for evangelism. I walked a distance then followed a shortcut that would make my journey to the church hall easier before setting out for evangelism with brethren. It was round 4:30 pm.  As I walked into the street, getting closer to its end as to reach the express road, I heard a man whistle at me, " Hello, fine girl, stop". I thought it was just one of those guys by the road side that have nothing to tell a young girl but to ask for her name and number, so I ig...
