God functions from You

By -

That Altar in your Church built by men is not as sacred as You if you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in You!
You are holier than the altar.
The main altar is in me. So when I kneel at the Altar of our Church, I come with God’s presence. It is my presence as a Child of God that even makes that place a sacred place!

So, when I wish to kneel at the Altar and pray, it means I just want to separate myself from the crowd for a while and pray!
I love the idea of Chapels in big churches. For me, it's a quiet place where you can run from distraction and concentrate on God but it is not another special place where another kind of God’s power is made available.

If the Spirit of God isn’t in You, you are wasting your time at that altar. If you don’t have a personal relationship with God, I wonder who you are talking to at that altar!
God functions from you and not from the altar, podium or stage in our Churches.

You are Limitless!

I got a video on my mobile which I watched over a week ago. It's a motivating one. The message on the video is from the album: "Feed your mind with Success (Motivational Speeches)" I'll share the message: There's a popular quote going around at the moment: The person you will be in 5 years is based on the books you read and the people you hang around with today This is quite true but it applies to everything else as well. The person you will be in the future is based on everything you do today ! The people you hang around with, but more so the people you listen to The opinions you believe The books you read or the videos you watch All the information you take in Positive or negative will affect your future The workouts you do or don't do: that will show up in the future. The foods you eat today will affect your future on a visual and energy level. The same is true with your thoughts and information . What you feed your mind will shape your f...

Trust Equity

There are all sorts of measures of trust. Sometimes, they help you to uncover who your real friends and future business partners are. There are people you can't leave in a room alone with your phone, or sit across the table from with an open letter. Their eyes will stray. They are snitches and busybodies who lack discretion. Then there are those you better not leave your bag with. Something will go missing. There are a few you can trust with your credit card details and the password to your email account. The possibility of them betraying your trust is not even on your radar. They won't. When the transaction is done, they promptly forget your passwords and never bother to write them down. They understand the access was for a specific purpose. Then, there are the rare folks you give full and ongoing access. Even when they don't ask for information, you volunteer it. They deserve your trust and have a history of bearing your burdens. They are also noble. They don't reta...

Real Faith is Concrete and Evidential

By -
Image
Our faith as Christians is not misguided or misdirected, God did not ask us to have faith on something that does not work or that is nonexistent. Everything we believe God for already is and have been proven to be reproducible. People have believed for the same things you believe God for and have or are getting them continually. The problem is we and not the word of God. Do this anytime you feel your faith is tested. Walk randomly into your church and ask people randomly if they have ever believed God for what you are believing and have received. The results have always been and will continue. Our faith is not guess work, it is not uncertain, it is not speculation, it is not luck or chance. We believe God for what already is, have been and is been received continually by others. Real faith is concrete, it is evidential, tangible and reproducible anywhere. It works in all climes. By: Raphael Donanu

Its a Love and Relationship Something

By -

Hello Somebody! I believe you're doing great? And hope the week has been a positive one too? Just wanna drop these quotes for you. It's a Love and Relationship Something. You'll definitely find them helpful. Share with your friends too, and help bless a soul. It's a month of Love, so we've gotta keep the Love alive! Enjoy! ----- Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive. – Christopher Pike ----- When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that ...

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

What difference would you want to have made in the lives of the people around?

Imagine yourself in a funeral chapel; seeing the faces of friends and families as you pass along towards the front stage. You feel the shared sorrow of losing someone special, the joy of having known that person, that radiates from the hearts of the people present. As you walk down the front stage and look inside the casket, you suddenly see yourself lying lifeless. This definitely is your own funeral, maybe a decade from today. Your love ones, friends, colleagues and family had all come to honor you and express feelings of love and appreciation for your life. Now think deeply... What would you like various speakers who would be coming up to say few words about you and your life to say? What kind of husband, wife, father, or mother would you like these words to reflect? What kind of friend? What kind of working associate? What character would you want them to have seen in you? What contributions and achievements would you want them to remember you for? What difference would you ...

Life is too short to be limited!

If you are the average of the 5 people you spend your time with the most, who will you be? You can't roll with chicken and expect to fly like a eagle. You can't be a chicken and expect to roam with eagles. In all you do, seek constant improvement and never blackmail yourself emotionally to stay with people who don't have your kind of vision. We only have one life to live and the only way to influence what people will say after we are gone is to live a life in sync with expectations. Life is too short to be limited.
