Redefining Relationships.

Good friends are gifts from God. Ask David and Jonathan. It is a good thing to have someone going somewhere same time as you, it is a wonderful thing to have somewhere you both are going somewhere and the same place at the same time and it is great to have people who don't necessarily have to go your way, but can connect, help and add value when you meet them.

If friendship becomes a burden instead of a mutual benefit, then its high time for a rethink, discussion and adjustment in the relationship or a personal crosscheck of lifestyle. 

One mustn't weaken the other rather they are to help each other to grow. It must be founded on and in Love. Love is a person with a personality - God and not just a feeling. 

The expression of God to man, man in Christ and man to other men is Love. The fact that you like the person isn't enough for a solid friendship. You must also have a definition and destination. What is your friendship all about and where it's leading to? 

What do you talk about when you meet? What value do you add to yourselves? What are your goals? What force is driving you? What is the next stage? What's the way forward out of a problem or situation?

It is time to question the foundation of previous relationships with people and cut off those that aren't helpful and rebuild a foundation for a fresh association of destiny helpers and builders, not a bunch of viruses that chokes every good and hopeful end. 

We have love as a commandment and a way of life, but those we associate with is a choice. The exact people needed in the journey of purpose and fulfillment can only be found when you know the giver of purpose(in the person of CHRIST JESUS).

A life with a glorious destination can only be found in Christ. The people and resources are also in Him. He connects you to the Father and His gift - the HOLY - SPIRIT. The TRINITY will be your source, foundation and power. 

With these I can assure you that your destiny is settled in and with Him. Redefining relationships is your part of the job - Grafting out parasites and fixing value-adding personnel.

 SHALOM!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
