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.

MY LITTLE THOUGHTS!!!

I read something that kept me in thoughts for some time now and I saw a new light in it. "Therefore i say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on..." (Matthew 6:25) These are the questions i asked myself after reading it: • "Is the above scripture saying i should not bother about my life or ensure i make something out of my life?" • "Does it mean i should just allow life happen to me and accept whatever it brings to my table (my life)"? I thought it that way because that verse is literally saying,  "you know what, just relax. God got you. You don't have to work or stress yourself. He'll take care of you as He does to the birds of the air and lilies of the field. (Vs 26 & 28)." But same Bible says we should work. The word of God critically downplays laziness and idleness. "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: T...

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...

NOT JUST THE REGULAR CHRISTIAN

"I'm a very good Christian...a born again Christian at that." "I'm not just a regular Christian because I always go to church and partake in Christian activities." ...and you think that's enough reason to tag you a Christian beyond the ordinary? Please, before thinking you don't fall under the category of a regular Christian, I'd love you to read this article to the end with understanding. In many nations of the world, especially my resident country, Nigeria, many families and individuals acknowledge and believes in Christ which makes them Christians in a literal sense. It may be because it's a "religion" passed down as a family heritage or an influence from family members.  It may be because of christain social influences and networks. It can be exposure to christianity through education or basically for selfish motives (what they can benefit from God). Not all Christians are TRULY Christians in its true context. We ind...
