You are a Clay in the Potter's Hands

By -

Do you sometimes feel unworthy to be called God’s child? – You have too much baggage, too many wounds and too many scars, or maybe you don’t feel smart enough or spiritual enough to be used by God.

If so, then you are not alone. l used to feel inadequate and I believed l don’t have enough qualifications and experience for God to use me. What I did not realize is that God loves to use jars of clay to reveal His Glory. He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

When something beautiful flows from an ordinary vessel, it’s both surprising and inspiring.

Ask God to show you what matters most. Your heart or your hands. You are a clay in the potter’s hand. You are not beautiful in yourself but You are beautiful in Him.

Try to forget yourself and all your inadequacies and allow his Glory to shine forth from You.

The question is: What is in your hands? Are you ready to give it to God to use it for his Glory?

1 Corinthians 1 vs 27

Nothing to Offer?

By -
Image
I hear people saying, and postulating that our Ladies have nothing to offer in relationships, and that apart from sex, eighty percent or thereabout of ladies have nothing else to contribute to relationships. How they arrived at such statistics, I know not. Who did the research, the number of ladies they sampled, and the research method employed, till date - the mystery remains unexplained. To me, this may be an issue of generalization and a case of a few bad eggs. Then again, I may be wrong oh, and it may be a case of a few good eggs and that of ''to every rumor there is an element of truth''. But nonetheless, let me attempt to point out a few things I think the authors of this "women have nothing to offer in a relationship" mantra are aggrieved about. Dear single Ladies; - Never make a man your sole support, what about you? Your independence is your truest beauty. Men will only respect you when you show to them you can take good care of yourself by yoursel...

What a Real Woman desires?

By -
Image
It's funny – once a young man has money, affluence or fame, he begins to think every woman is after his wealth, or popularity. He begins to see himself as a real man because he has money and can pay bride price and 'put a woman in the house' without batting an eye or breaking the bank.. A Real Woman is not after a Man's money. No, she knows she can make hers. She knows she needs him to have his too. But beyond wealth, a Real Woman desires – • Emotional security from her Man She wants to know she can be herself (completely naked) emotionally before him and not be mocked for it or rebuked. She wants to know he will fight to put and keep a smile on her face, to make her happy, do all he can to defend her emotions every day of their lives together. A woman's emotions is her greatest vulnerability. It's what makes them different from Men, and a man who cannot understand this aspect and show capacity to handle her in that regards needs to learn. Some men cannot ev...

Quotes for this Week

By -

Today, I share some quotes from a friend, EndieUmunna. Let's be inspired by these words. • In as much as you want results, you have to love the process. Better results are yielded when you find true happiness in the process • It is better to have just 1 winner friend than to have 500 loser friends. That poison you call friendship, give it a break! • Stop wasting your time waiting for the defining moments. Define your life and then raise the rest of your life to meet you • Hardwork garnished with assorted patience is the only shortcut to success. Any other route is not sustainable!

Use Your Gift for God

By -
Image
God is not looking for who to use but who to bless... When we were invited to join the workforce, we joined easily because growing up, our parents never stopped telling us about God. We were eager to join the workers (of course we are still eager). We knew the gifts in us, we wanted to express ourselves and give our all to God. What are you doing with that wonderful voice? (Are you still singing wo?) Why not stand for God with your muscles and frame? (the bigger your chest as an usher the less headache you have directing people, imagine Broak Lesnar as an usher). Why not use your teaching skills for the Supreme Being? I know you sabi play instruments, are you still running after paying geeks alone? Everything you see today all started from the church. I remember the first time I taught the teenagers Sunday school... I was even a teenager then but maturity made me look and sound 24... Now, people dread working for God or committing themselves to Godly affairs... They think it ta...

FEAR (from a motivational video)

By -

This inspiration is from a motivational video - FEAR by: Younes Marxieu. ----- I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointed it might have been as you've been working toward that dream. But here's what I know - that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible. See, sometimes we can say I can do that. But what we can't say that it's possible, that I can have my dream, as we run towards it, as we work on it day in and day out. And most people don't work on their dreams why? One is because of fear. ----- And that's why you'll never be what you wanna be. That's why you'll never have what you wanna have. That's why you'll never accomplish what... ----- Success guys, are a very, very lonely road man. On that road you're not gonna see too many friends. It's your shadow, most often. ----- I wish I could tell you, you tried, go take a break. I wish I could tell you, you t...

Eggshells (Episode 2)

Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

What Value are You gaining from the 5000 Facebook friends list?

What Value are you getting from the 5000 Facebook friends list? - Who told you, you can't meet your wife or husband there? - Who said you can't get your next job there? - Why have they made you believe you can't be mentored online? - Why do you think that trainings you get there are of less value? - Why do you think you can't believe people there enough to be your business partners? I spoke about the reality of our new age some weeks back, emphasizing on the progressive shift from physical human contacts to virtual communication. These days some people can share something on their mind on Facebook or other social media platforms before ever mentioning it (that is if they would) to any body around them physically. Daily People are starting or building professional and intimate relationships on Facebook. A friend of mine who got married last year, shared a post on how she met her husband online (God fearing, tongue speaking... Lol) and today that are happily marrie...

I am a seed. I cannot be buried. I can only be planted!

When life rejects you as a waste of lemon, shake off the tag and GROW up into a lemonade! I grew up to my early teenage in Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria and countless times, I saw my mum poured cooking waste water containing tomato and vegetable seeds into a corner of our backyard through the kitchen window. Also, I grew up always seeing some tomato and vegetable plants growing at the corners of our unused backyard turned dumping site for kitchen waste and I always wondered who planted them and in fact, I also always thought they were unhealthy vegetables since they grow on a mere dirty, sometimes stinking waste-dumping site. One beautiful Sunday evening, returning back from our church's evening service, we were all famished and mum was wondering what to cook. Lo and behold, she went to the backyard (God bless mothers) and came back with some very green and massively leafy vegetables. Before you say Jack's not hot (sorry, Jack Robinson), the aroma of a sweet efo riro (a popul...
