WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART?

Nothing is closer to us than our thoughts. Only you know what is in your heart. And of course, God knows what is in your heart because he created you.  See what Psalm 139:1(CEV) tells us 👇 "You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me."  God sees everything that goes on in your heart. You are an open book before him. There is nothing we do that is hidden from him. One thing I am beginning to get more conscious of,  is what goes on in my heart. I have seen that the kind of thoughts you have forms a basis for the things you do and the way you behave. What is in your heart? What are the kind of things that you allow into your heart? Joyce Meyer puts it as 'think about what you are thinking about'.  When you are conscious of the fact that you are an open book before God, it helps you to be more intimate with him and makes sure that what you meditate on is pleasing before him. King David understood how important this is.  See Psalm 19:14(KJV) ...

YOU ARE NOT TOO 'MESSY' FOR GOD TO FIX

The devil tries to keep you from running back to God because he knows that is where you can receive help to live above 'the mess'. Don't let the devil lie to you that you are too "messy" for God to fix. No, you are not.  God loves you so much. No matter how far you feel from God, He still wants a relationship with you. He has never stopped loving you and he will never stop loving you. It's wonderful to know that his love for us is not based on conditions and nothing can ever separate us from his love. Rom 8:37-39. There is nothing too messy for God to fix. And the only way to receive help is to run to him with a sincere heart. Not running away from him. Talk to him today. From the deepest part of your heart. Let it all out. Cry if you want. Be vulnerable with your father. Ask him for mercy and receive his help. He is merciful like that. And as you receive his forgiveness and accept his help, step by step, you begin to work towards positive, lasting change. He ...

THE WILL OF GOD IS WHERE YOUR SECURITY IS

The will of God is where your security is. We struggle sometimes with what God tells us because we are so invested in our personal desires already. But if we are going to fulfill what He has planned for us and sent us to do, our utmost desire must be to remain in His will per time. And I can tell you for free that the times when I decided to do what I thought was 'best' , it ended in premium tears🤣. (It was not funny then sha😩.)  I'm sure you can also remember instances when you decided to go with what you thought was 'best' and ignored what God was pointing you to. How did that go?😅 So again, the will of God is where our security is. See what Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) says👇 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. To decide to stay in God's will is pure Wisdom because as we seek for His direction in all that we do, He shows us the right path to take. God ...

ON ABUSE

While physical/sexual abuse appears to be one of the most prevalent and obvious forms of abuse, there are also toxic traits/ behavior in people that turn out to abuse others verbally, emotionally, psychologically. These are also things to watch out for. Even without hitting you or being violent, a person can damage your sense of esteem and self worth. And this applies to other relationships, not just romantic/love relationships. They belittle your accomplishments, they never have any encouraging thing to say, they address you with derogatory words,  they take delight in humiliating you in public, they cut you off from the relationships you have with other people,  manipulative behavior etc.. When things like this happen over and over and over and over again, it is abusive. And the thing is, a vast majority of us have experienced some level of psychological abuse from either an adult family member, guardian, teacher, peers or any other person when we were much younger. Whether ...

THAT IT APPEARS GOOD DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT

It's my first post of the year, and I'm glad I get to give you this as my little birthday gift! I appreciate the love showered on me on my birthday yesterday. I'm grateful for you! If you are new here, welcome!😊 Let's get right into it! . . . Now, God is ever willing to lead us aright. And this is why he has given us the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. See what Jesus says here in John 14:16‭-‬17 (EASY) 👇 "I will ask the Father to help you with this. He will send another Helper to be with you. That Helper will stay with you always. He is God's Spirit, and he shows you what is true...." The Holy Spirit shows us what is true. But sometimes we do not enquire to know the mind of God concerning certain situations. We depend on what we think is the right way. That it appears good does not make it right.  That's why the Bible tells us not to lean on our understanding. See👇 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all...

FILTER WHAT YOU CONSUME

Whew! To think that it's already 6 months since I made a post on here is terrifying😂. I mean, how did 6 months pass by so fast?! Well, a lot has happened in 2021 but I'm grateful to God that we are here again.  Alive, whole and well. Thank you to everyone who has been on my neck, always asking me when the next post is going to be up😩😄. E no easy. I don't take it for granted. Thank you.  So here I am writing again, knowing that the words here will bless your heart, bless your life. Amen. On the 15th of October, I shared on my WhatsApp status about filtering what you consume.  I thought to put this here for someone who needs it as 2021 comes to a close. So what do I mean? Filter what you take in. What you watch. Who you follow. What you read.  Evaluate these things. Have they improved your life in anyway? Have they improved your relationship with God? Did they improve the quality of your mind? How much have they built you up? It's important you ask yourself these qu...

ACCEPTANCE: OPENING UP YOURSELF TO GOD'S HELP

Image
I shared on my WhatsApp status yesterday that a lot of us struggle with a lot of things because we have refused to acknowledge or come to that point of accepting what is actually on ground. What do I mean? I believe that the first step in overcoming or gaining victory over certain things or conditions is ACCEPTANCE. That is, you have to acknowledge that such thing is present. Do not fake it. For example, if someone really hurt you, the first step to forgiving such person is accepting that you are hurt. Or that you feel bitter or resentful. Acknowledge the fact that you are hurt by what they said or did. It's easy to pretend, and say 'you are fine'.  But don't hide your true feelings under that canopy. It's the same thing with having certain complexes and biases about certain things. Let's take inferiority complex as an example. If you want to deal with it, you have to accept the fact that it is present. You have to stop hiding under the canopy that you are '...
