GROWING RIGHT

It's quite unfortunate that valentine's day has lots of mishaps and unpleasant things happen among young people. Many have already made plans for that day. But more often that not, many have regretted the decisions they've made on valentine's day. That's what I want to correct in this article. Because it's valentine's day, a lady will give her body to the guy in her life as a reward for all he's done for her or show of love for him.  Because it's valentine's day, some use their bodies for fun and unholy pleasures just to enjoy themselves. And they say they're celebrating love. Hmmm!  I really want to ask, do you really understand the significance of the valentine's day? Valentine's day is a holiday instituted because of a saint called Valentine who was martyred for converting pagans to Christianity. Now, if you study closely the story of which valentine's day originated from, you'll see that valentine's day sho...

Dear ladies, you can be a queen. No, it's not really about a physical crown on your head but the aura you exude as a lady wherever you go. The bible has the story of a woman who was made a queen by virtue of marrying a king but was displaced from that position which was given to another. She was a queen by virtue of marriage and position but not by qualities. I've come to learn that if any lady should stand out, she must have the qualities that makes her a woman of value and standards. In this context, I'd define a queen as someone who wears exceptional qualities and is living the best version of herself and whom God has made her to be. Those qualities (her crown) becomes a point of attraction to everyone around her. Don't worry, we'll look into these qualities intently. But first, let's quickly look at Vashti and Esther from the book of Esther. Before Esther came into the picture, Vashti was queen. Scripture didn't make clear how long Vashti was...

I believe in destiny helpers so much! When the Holy Spirit gave me an understanding of what destiny helpers is truly about, I became mindful of many things of which needed to be worked on in my life. I know your mind might be picturing a rich relative or a person with affluence coming your way. But No! It isn't. We've made this mistake of limiting a destiny helper to a rich man/woman with connections. It's a misconception we've nutured for a long time which has affected our minds.  Infact, when we're asked to pray for a destiny helper, our mind pictures people of substance and wealth to come our way or we picture a person with lots of connections that can give a one in a lifetime opportunity. No! It's much more than that. A destiny helper might not be rich. Infact, a destiny helper might even be in same or lesser financial state as you. It may sound funny to you but it's the truth and I'll give you some examples. In the bible, who was noami t...

I'm sure you got all excited stepping into 2024. I did too. It's a joyous thing which we should be thankful to God for. But in as much as we stepped into this new year, be rest assured that many carried some WEIGHTS alongside them. And no! Not a positive/divine weights in form of a godly or positive burden for Christ or for a postive cause but weights from their bad experiences/past, weaknesses, mistakes, inabilities, etc. Just see this! Hebrews 12:2  reveals: "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us". First off, understand that you're surrounded by witnesses. What do I mean? There are eyes watching you. There are people looking up to you. There are so many that depends on your success for them to succeed. They need your light so they can tap from it to shine theirs. You may not know thi...

You've lived long enough to know that there are things that are good for you and things that are toxic for you. You have a conscience, a brain and mind to sponsor that. In this article, there are a few highlighted habits that are highly toxic for you. But before unveiling it, let me explain the word TOXIC. TOXIC is a word used to describe something that is harmful or damaging. Anything that's toxic is detrimental to you either emotionally, mentally, psychologically or physically. Okay! So, let's get right into it. SOME TOXIC HABITS TO AVOID Self-Criticism Self-criticism is evaluating and judging yourself harshly, thinking you have to be perfect and never make mistakes. It's that negative voice speaking inside of you which magnifies your weaknesses and stirs you to see nothing good about yourself and by so doing, drown you in self criticism. That negative voice only wants you to see YOU as not good enough, a failure, a weak and unskilled person, incapable...i...

Every human on earth needs guidance. It has nothing to do with age or experience. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, experienced or inexperienced. Do you know why? That's because knowledge is inexhaustible. You can never know everything. The more you know, the more you realize you don't know. It is only a fool that thinks he knows enough to carry him his lifetime. Those that keeps learning are the ones that have greater advantage in life. They are the wise ones. Someone who is willing to learn is a person open to corrections and instructions.  No matter what you know or have handled, there are times you'll make mistakes or need accurate guidance for better results. That's why I earlier mentioned that no one is above guidance. Have you ever wondered why Jesus ask we christians to be perfect yet some default in it? It's because of this!  How do I mean? One of the reasons God's word was given to us is for guidance. Same scripture reveals ...

There are principles in life that are like equations. You have to know and apply the right information to get the best results. It's just like a puzzle. The pieces of every puzzle needs to be put in its perfect place to become whole and perfect. And that includes what I'm about sharing with you now. In today's article, IN BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRIZE, there's something that should be in between the two words—  past and prize — which I'm about unfolding. But first off, I want you to understand that every human in existence today possess these two; a past and a prize. They are both significant.   You have a past. And no! It doesn't have to be a bad one. You also have a prize to pursue. Let me explain! Every human have a past but many choose to let their past limit them either a good past or bad one. Yes! Even your good past can limit you. Don't worry, I'm heading somewhere. Secondly, the prize. The prize I'm talking of isn't just a li...

Of all arts to master in life, the art of putting a bridle your tongue should never be left out. You going far in life depends on it and I'll tell you why in course of this article. You might be asking what the word 'bridle' means. Bridle is the headgear with which a horse is directed and which carries a bit and reins.   Let me elaborate that... I'm sure you've seen a horse been controlled before by its rider. A bridle is the leather like thing that's put on the mouth of a horse with a rein (something like a rope) attached to it which is held by the rider in other to control the movement and direction of the horse. A bridle serves as a control system for a smooth ride on a horse just as the gear, brake and steering wheel are the control system of a vehicle. I believe you got that explanation.  Now, in the same manner you see a horse subjected to its rider by the help of a bridle, the tongue should be bridled too. I've come to understand that what...

There's something I've noticed amongst some christians that Jesus Himself isn't happy about. And to these christians, what they're doing is the right thing and it's pleasing Jesus but actually, the reverse is the case. I've seen and heard of people who disdain sinners by staying away from them and making them feel they can never be accepted and shouldn't be around the christians 'clique' because the sinners are 'bad' and we as christians are the 'good ones'.  This was exactly what the pharisees did. They were so law driven that they couldn't stand the 'breakers of the law'. They ensured that any sin associated with punishment would be carried out on the sinner involved. That was why they were both surprised and angry at Jesus whenever He tells someone, "Go, your sins are forgiven". Jesus on the other hand was never like that even as God Himself! He didn't just avoid making the sinners feel they ca...

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...
