CONTROL

Have you ever thought that you could handle your life the way you want it and only you decide whether you are on the right or wrong track? I'm sure if you made some decision based on that you can confirm that it can be a very dangerous mindset to keep. 
When a person has a certain access to freedom, without the right mindset, freedom or choice can soon become a prison. Think about it this way. A child is given a master password that can open up anything in an estate.

So, he decided to check up on all the houses and rooms in the area. Every house have their function, but he doesn't know that because he believes everywhere is a playground.

Sooner than expected will he discover that there are consequences to the places and things he exposes himself to. But at that point, it might too late to readjust.

My point is that you can't expose yourself to an unexpected life and not take the consequences of that path or way of life. So before you explore your options, consider if you can handle the consequences of your actions.

There are certain things you know you shouldn't have been exposed to. Right now, you can't control because you are living at the expense of it effect and impact on your life. At first, it didn't sound or look like a bad idea, until you've gone deep mad the ground begin to shake, that's when you realize you've made a mess of a lot of things.

Some of those things even look like good ideas at the front end, but when you got was when you will find out they have bugs and viruses you could have escaped if you were focused on your journey.

All thanks to God, who by Hos mercy can restore things or make all experiences work for our good. What the enemy meant for evil, He turns it for good. Is mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness.

But you can save your strength. You have a lot to take control over, don't let a mistake or bad choice add up to that list. You have choices, but explore in the context of your understanding. Give yourself a safe landing, test the water with ease.

Remember when you thought you could cook because you saw your mum do it, and you tried it , but  it ended up badly? The same  happens in real life when you think you can handle some things, and then you can't control the situation and the experience.

Don't put yourself through that stress. Trust God that you are experiencing your best moments right now and when you have to move to greater height or understanding, He will make it happen. Explore your present stage to the fulness, and the future will be. a graceful journey in God.

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...
