Don't let the experiences define You, no matter how much it tries to

By -

Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in life. They have had so many disappointments, they don't think they can face the pain of another one. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they won't be disappointed.

This avoidance of hope is a type of protection against being hurt. Disappointment hurts! So rather than be hurt again, many people simply refuse to hope or to believe that anything good will ever happen to them. This type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Everything becomes negative because the thoughts are negative.

Remember Proverbs 23:7 – For
as he (a person) thinks in his heart, so is he.

We are Members of One Body, NOT Independent Cells

By -

Beloved, Christianity isn't a personal race as we are made to believe. It is rather a collective race with personal responsibilities. We are not the Cell of Christ but the Body of Christ. We must realize that whatever affects one part, affects the whole body. We must understand that all these talks such as "Leave everyone to their own beliefs. Let whatever you belief work for you. If I tithe, is it your business?" etcetera, are all revelations of a lack of synergy in the Faith. The Lord Jesus would have us grow up into him in all things. He would have his Church walk in Holy rhythmicity. He would have us understand that we are one united force before whom the World is to tremble. This individualistic mindset is actually folly and it's a huge debit on our eternal inheritance. We must begin to see ourselves, not as separate entities with placentas tied to the womb of the "Pauls and Apollos" of our times, but as one Holy body, under the command of one Lord...

What are you going to do for Someone else's Freedom?

I am skinny and I don't like cold. My lips quiver, my speech seizes, my nose shoots out mucus with every sneeze and I think my metabolism stops too, except my kidneys. It starts to produce urine like a liquor factory. The toilet must be within few paces away. Where there's no toilet, I can't handle myself when you put me in a cool room. My feet grow numb, I may have to postpone my presence at a meeting or a discussion to use the bath or the bush. I can cope with no fan or air conditioner all year long. Just give me a damn sweater and a wooly duvet, I'll be good for all seasons! But there is another type of cold I've grown used to. It's the place my unconventional ideas push me when I ever open my mouth. It's a damn cold feeling to be ostracised by people who once used to give you a warm hallelujah when you said something they agreed with. Now, no chants of acceptance, no chorus of praise, no little short speeches telling you how wonderful you are. You ar...

I am Over You

Samuel was done playing games. He finally proposed. He knew she would say Yes. She would. She loved him too much. She had asked him severally, jokingly, when he would ask her out. She had turned down many suitors for his sake. She loved even the ground he walked on, but he just wasn't interested in her. He was actually but he wanted to sow his wild oats. He thought she was going to be around forever. Now he is ready. He is tired of the games and wanted to settle down. Her reply came like a gunshot.. You know that thing that goes skrrrrrrrrri, ehen, you don't know, the thing went skrrrrrrrrri laidat, "I am no longer interested in a Relationship with you, Sam. Truth be told, I have found somebody that loves me, and I love him too. I'm over you". The look on his face could have rivaled that of Medusa the gorgon. He never thought that could happen. He never expected that Jane would one day overcome her feelings for him. He had always ignored her, because she love...

Your Soul Knows Better

By -
Image
Some people will come into your life looking as if they are the real deal. Their attributes will tick all the right boxes in your checklist. Your relationship will start with such an intensity that you will believe they were sent from heaven. From this high tension love, your relationship immediately descends to the lows of depression, quarreling and anger. The fluctuations are more dizzying than roller-coaster rides. Gradually, they will begin to show their true colors and you will have to decide whether to leave or stay and try to fix them. If you don't open your inner eyes, you will fall into the oldest trap of the flesh. Your flesh desires them but your soul knows better. Remember all your sufferings and let the wisdom of pain be your guide. All that glitters is not gold and there is no substitute for inner peace. If you remain humble and kind, one day someone will appear from nowhere in the most unusual of circumstances when you least expect it to return all the love you lost ...

What do you have in your hands?

By -

Have you ever given someone a gift that they don’t care about or won’t use? You must think they are ungrateful, especially if it's a gift that's expensive and important to the service of others. Do you think God could "feel" the same way about the talents he has endowed you with? Do you think you could have been depriving someone out there the privilege of being blessed by your service to humanity? If you're culpable; you've probably ignored your talent — your God given gift to humanity. To ignore your talent, is to ignore God in your life and deprive many others the gift of God in you. He made us that way — He has equiped us for what we are suited for with a great calling to serve humanity. It is never too late to discover what talents you have and develop them. The development of your talent is too important to be left to chance. Invest time, energy, and money to fan your talent into raging flame that transforms the world. Play that piece, sing ...

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.

Bring The Message to Life

By -
Image
There is a particular message that can only be transmitted through you because it is uniquely encoded within your soul. Some people might recognize your potential but what they see is just a glimpse or at best is just the surface of the vast depth of potential in you. You're the only one who knows the depths of your desire and you are the only one creating roadblocks for yourself. Bring that message to life. Some people's lives depend on it. Your fear and procrastination is not only causing you pain but it is affecting so many people who would benefit from your wisdom. Procrastination is a selfish endeavor. Somebody somewhere is waiting for those kind words you have to say. Somebody somewhere is waiting to be inspired by your light. Someone could be lying on a hospital bed somewhere and could receive revival through your message. You owe it to humanity to express that message right now. It doesn't belong to you. You're just a vessel. By: Uchenna Ilo
