HOW CAN I LET GO?

-
Let's face it. It is not easy to let go when someone deeply hurt you. It is not easy to 'forgive and forget', when a person said or did something that made you feel really bad.

We are humans, not machines. Because of the presence of our emotions, we tend to feel resentful or bitter when someone hurts us. It's worse when the other party is not even remorseful about what they did or said.

However, allowing bitterness and resentment to build up in our hearts can cause so much pain, rob peace of mind, and make one lose focus. I know that feeling.

So am I telling you to let go, after all Lala did to you? Yes. Am I telling you to let go, after all the very hurtful words Simba said to you? Yes, yes.

You have to let go because of YOU. Your emotional well-being is important for you to maintain focus and be productive. Moreover, it is an instruction given to us in the Scriptures. I know it could be quite tough, depending on the weight of what was done or said. Personally, here are some few things that helped me.

1) Accept it.
You see, you have to admit that you are hurt, bitter. Don't try to fake it and pretend that you are fine. If you do not deal with it from the root, no matter how much you cover it up; it will still remain there.

2) Talk to the Holy Spirit about it.
As tough as it could be sometimes; we can always leverage on the Holy Spirit to help us. He sees your heart, and he knows you are hurt. Cry if you need to, express yourself and ask that he helps you to remove the resentment and anger that you are feeling.

3) Pray for the person(s) intentionally from time to time.
Whether the other party felt remorseful about it or not, pray for them. As time goes on, you will discover how much peace this brings to your heart.

4) Understand that it is a process.
Yes, in certain situations, it could take some time. But as we open up our hearts for the Holy Spirit to work on, we grow and become better.

Let it go. Drop the baggage. You deserve more. You deserve the best.

I invite you today to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, if you have not. He loves you. And he wants you to radiate beauty and fulfill purpose. All you have to do is believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God raised him from the dead to give you eternal life. Say this with me.

"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...
