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 thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 (KJV)


We see all through the Scriptures how men who walked with God and were used mightily for his glory, enquired of the Lord from time to time before taking certain steps. Men like Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David and so many others. Rebekah enquired of the Lord when the two children were struggling in her womb(Gen 25:22).


And we also see the consequences some of these men had to face when they refused to seek the face of God concerning a matter. Let's look at the story of Joshua. 


In Joshua chapter 9, we see how the people of Gibeon were able to deceive Joshua and the men of Israel to make a peace treaty with them so that they will not be destroyed like the other nations. This happened because Joshua did not ask the Lord about it. It was later on they found out that they were deceived.


“Joshua and the other leaders finally believed them. They did not bother to ask the Lord but went ahead and signed a peace treaty. And the leaders of Israel ratified the agreement with a binding oath.” — Joshua 9:14-15 (TLB)



If you are confused about a situation, pause and ask, Lord is this what you want for me? Should I go ahead with this? Father, what do you think about this? He will definitely give you an answer. The answer might not come immediately or in a way you expect, but He will direct you. 


The Holy Spirit is dynamic. The answer you need could be as simple as dropping a scripture in your heart, leading you to other men to seek wisdom, prompting you to take action on that idea and so many many other ways. There are no limitations with Him. Just let your heart be opened to receive his directions.


Ask the Lord about the decision you are about to make. Don't fall into the pressure of taking that step because that is what every other person seems to be doing. 

Don't fall into the trap of accepting a wrong gift because it looks 'good'.


God can always be trusted to lead, guide and instruct you in the way you should go. And the thing is, when you understand that God wants to lead you more than you even want to be led, you will make it a priority in allowing Him to direct your path.


Sometimes, following his path might look as if you are 'slow' or 'foolish'. But in due time, you will be grateful that you followed his instructions. God's plan for us is always to give us the best. Here is a verse you should always keep in your heart 👇

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)


Enough of us running our lives like we own it. Enough of running into avoidable errors because we refused to follow his own way and decide to live on our own terms. Enough of just calling him ‘’Lord”, and not truly making him Lord over our lives.

Run with the consciousness that He is your Lord and He will direct your path.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 (KJV)


With so much love,

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...
