Positioning yourself- finding a place

One of the most essential things in life is finding a place you can call home.

It is essential to secure a place and to secure a place, you must search. After you search, then you find your location.

This process is not limited only to finding a place. 

Someone looking for a life partner must search until he/she finds one.

A scholar must search for programs and educational curricula suitable to the line of study. The same goes for friendships, jobs, business partners, vacations, etc.

Rth 3:1- NET 1 At that time, Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home for you so you will be secure.
You derive security and satisfaction after your findings adventure. 

The quest continues until you find your place. Seek your place in life just like Ruth.

Do not shy away from little obstacles. your place (home) is where you can rest and enjoy peace of mind.

Find your place; find your rest.

Happy Independence Day, America!

Independence is about gaining freedom.

Freedom is good but without caution, it can lead to mad behavior.

We need God, but some think they don’t need Him. They claim self-dependence.

We need equality and justice, but some still think a particular race is superior to the other. And, of course, we cannot turn a blind eye to the existence of racial discrimination.

We need peace but how can we achieve it with incessant mass shootings?

We need to accept one another without prejudice.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people. Proverbs 14:34

America needs godly Leaders

America needs to return to God.

America’s leaders need to seek God and teach their people to seek God.

Our independence means freedom, but we should never forget where we were and where we are now.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

No going back!

Today, I found a song that I had known a long time ago and I decided to post it.

https://youtu.be/7ULY0uL0LWo

I have put my hands on the plough, and I am not looking back.
There’s no reason to give up now. It’s too late!

I have my eyes set high, upon the hill, and I’m going to give it all.

Through the grace of God, any Christian will make it in this life and in the life to come.

Resist evil

If you do not eliminate the enemy completely, they will come back to fight you and you may get caught unaware.

God’s idea about the enemy is that they must be completely wiped out. If the enemy is not eradicated, even if it is just one, it would ensnare you and be a problem.

Jdg 2:2-3 NET 2 but you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You should tear down the altars where they worship.’ But you have disobeyed me. Why would you do such a thing? 3 At that time I also warned you, ‘If you disobey, I will not drive out the Canaanites before you. They will ensnare you and their gods will lure you away.’”

“Resist the devil” could also suggest that you get rid of him so he does not hinder or stop your progress.

The enemy target your weak areas. So, you need to be on guard for any onslaught. This is why you must resist evil and eradicate it completely, if possible.

The enemy you spare today will come back to hurt you.

Making sense of Faith

Faith in God brings peace.

Faith in God does not doubt when you face turbulence and troubles.

Faith in God is like saying through the cries, I still trust Him.

This is the confidence we have in Him that when we call on Him, He hears us.

And when you seem not to hear Him, you still trust Him. This is Faith!

Pass the torch to your offspring

The essence and beauty of life is when you are able to procreate and pass on life to others who, in turn, do same, too.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 2:24.

As you aged, other things you cannot do, like your aspirations, plans, projects, and your legacy, pass it on to your offspring who will live your dream come through.

Do not struggle to achieve all in your old age.

For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the Lord has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?”
Genesis 30:30 NKJV

Allow your children to live their own dream. Give them the space and time.
When they are successful, you will be delightful. And you will live your old age with a feeling of fulfillment.

Part of living the best of life is seeing others live the best of their lives, especially your own heritage.

Happy Mother’s Day!

When God

Created mothers

All as lovely

As can be,

He made one

Extra special

And saved her just for me!


Of all the special

Joys In life

the big ones

And the small

A mother’s love

And tenderness

Is the greatest

Of them all.


My mother’s love Is like no other.

Her tenderness and care are boundless,

Her love for us is perfect.

She’s there through thick and thin,

A constant source of love within.

She is strong, brave, and courageous

Mothers are emotional, but their emotion is their strength as they exude true and genuine love to everyone

Give them all the praise there is, they deserve it!

For all the lovely mothers and all the mothers-to-be,

I want to say happy Mother’s Day to you all!

Wisdom for this time

Every man has the power to create because of his god-like nature in them.

Generally, when the light comes, darkness must disappear.

Darkness always gives way for light to shine, but darkness often enjoys a slight moment of time.

Most times, it appears that darkness is too prevalent, but in no time, light always finds ways to shine, and darkness must disappear.

As long as darkness cannot last long before the light shines, so evil cannot last long before good overtakes it.

One thing is certain concerning evil people– they will surely be punished for their wickedness.

Truly, the power of creation is in the tongue. This is why truth is powerful, but lies can be deadly.

God, also, is constantly looking for where to shine. He can not operate in a vacuum. He needs a vessel.

Even in the dark, God can still perform. So, where the odds are significantly stacked against Him, He is capable of working wonders. This is why we have what is called a “miracle.”

God experienced darkness too when He (Jesus) was on earth in the form of man.

It is true that whatever you have to do, do it quickly. Truer is the fact that you also tend to forget the needful when you don’t do it at the right time, thereby losing momentum.

Timely Wisdom

Every single relationship cost you time, resources, energy.

For a good man, persecution and opposition are inevitable.

Remember that God knows about everything including all the unfavorable events in the future.

If you cannot finish it, whatever it is, your descendants (offspring) will.

God’s promises are ever sure, regardless.

There will always be oppositions and obstacles to contest with.

God’s idea and wisdom supercede.

Second choice is generally not the best choice. That is why it is the second choice.

God’s promises are certain to come to pass.

One of the major reasons people lie is because of fear of punishment.

The Price of Salvation: what the world can do

Jesus said, in this world, you shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

The world hates Jesus, and so do His followers too.

The believers will experience persecution.

Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 3:12

The believers will experience various accusations.

Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10

The world can kill the body but not the soul.

“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

Fear the person who has the power to kill both the body and the soul.
The believer’s home is eternally secured. John 14:1-2
Therefore, Christians can take solace and comfort in an eternal home guaranteed.
