WHAT DID YOU FLUSH

-

So, I realized I was becoming wedded to it. Something had to be done before I gave myself up to it. I stood up, walked to the bathroom, dropped it into the toilet. And flushed it. Yes, that was the exact thing I did. Now, I’m not talking about defecating or micturating or throwing a ring into the toilet. No, I finally got rid of something that was slowly consuming my productivity. All the while I had devoted myself to it, as if it was some priceless treasure. Both in the day and at night. It was not because I did not know that it added nothing to me or it was gradually eating me up. That, I understood perfectly. Maybe I just got myself locked up in the cage of procrastination or laziness. Some other persons might say they were too afraid to let such things go, that they were not courageous enough. To look it in the face and discard it. Whatever reasons I or the other persons might have given, the problem lay in our inability to take the first step: standing up. We just remained where we were, did not make any attempt to stand up. Not to talk of walking down to the ‘toilet’ and discarding it.  These things prevented us from achieving as much as we could in a single day, shifting our focus from what should be prioritized. Our eyes were blindfolded from how much we could maximize so many opportunities and potentials. They were not priorities, they were not relevant to our development, but we held on to them anyway.
Most times, we get too carried away by things that do not deserve our time or energy or any part of us.  All I am saying is this: Do not focus your attention on what you could do later than what should be done now. More of our energies and time should be channeled to things and people that would improve us and enhance our God given gifts. Dearest, remember to also acknowledge God in all you do, so he can direct your paths. He can help you see what you should be doing and the things that should be flushed.
And yes, what I disposed would be a story for another day!

"Lord Jesus, I come before you today. I believe and confess that you died for me and rose again to give me eternal life. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for forgiving my sin. Thank you for saving me. I am born again. I am saved. I am a child of God in Jesus name, Amen.

If you said this short prayer, congratulations! You are a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Please send me a message. I will be glad to talk and pray with you.😊

AMPLIFY YOUR STRENGTHS!

-
It is true that every human is blessed with certain gifts, strengths, unique abilities and is created for a purpose. In fact, we hear it again and again through the numerous seminars, conferences and teachings that we have attended (and will still attend), that we all have strengths and potentials that are peculiar to each of us. It is one thing to hear and know that we have all of these within us; it is something entirely different for our eyes to be opened to them. Some of us have entered into the room of self-discovery and are beginning to find out some interesting things about ourselves. Yet, quite a number of us do not see our strengths and have concluded that we carry nothing special. So, we begin to think that probably God did not give gifts to everyone afterall.  I have been there myself, and I know how frustrating that can be. We give so much time to looking at what others can do well and give little or no attention to the things we can do effortlessly. Our strengths lie i...

MY JOURNEY (1)

-
I left the examination hall that afternoon with so much anxiety. I just hoped that everything would eventually turn out fine. The aggregate score of each candidate for the examination would be sent via a text message the next morning.  Those who knew me well, understood that I never joked with having a good sleep. But this time, I kept rolling from one end of the bed to the other as it was quite difficult for me to sleep. All that went through my head were thoughts of what I would score in the examination.  At exactly 7am, my phone vibrated as it would when a text message was delivered. I was so certain that it was the message containing the result. I rushed to pick up my phone on the table beside the bed, and there it was. “Recharge N400 and get up to N1000 worth of airtime. Dial bla bla bla…” I did not bother to read the rest of the message. I was waiting to receive a message from JAMB not some mobile network. I let out a long hiss as  I dropped the phone on the bed i...

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...
