Thank God for the life He's given you.I was expecting love from people who i thought know me and will respond to my love to them It never was to be and i felt so bad that i started abusing myself emotionally. I looked down at my person and told myself that i had problem that has made me unlovable to people.I even thought about myself not going to achieve anything because, i thought love was not being shown to me by those i loved most.This went on for a long time that it took only God's intervention to make me look inwards and know that loving myself was to be the first thing .My loving myself will give me in insight into who i am and what i actually need.Your life is worth much more than what you think it is. Loving me is going to help me not to look out to be loved. Those that i looked up to for love will appreciate the love i have for myself and can love me for loving myself.My life is much more than what i think and what people around me perceive.So my encouragement to you today, is love your life and yourself because God your maker love you so much that He gve His life as a ransome for you.I equally found out that the one you loo up to for love might be battling to loving his/herself. This life of ours is worth loving and living it without high expectation from others. God bless you as you start loving who you are

IT IS WELL WITH YOU
It is indeed well with you.Did i just write that? Yes i say it is well with you. I know your saying only if she knows what i am going through,she will not say that,or the terrible situation you are in. The facts remains that whatever we face today, and right now your reading this blog, it's an indication that is well with you.God has your life planned out, and the mere fact that He allows you to go through pain sometimes, does not mean that it is not well with you. He said in His word that His thoughts towards you are not of evil but of good, to give you a hope and a future.So if He said it, then there is hope for you even in the situation you find yourself.Has all hell opened their war against you? I said relax and and see the salvation of the Lord in your situation.The bible said we should watch and pray. The situation in your life might look too mighty to be resolved.I want you to take it to God in prayer and watch out as to how God will turn it around for your own good. You should never loose hope, if you do not give up and pesevre. you will definitetly see the end of what He is trying to take you to.So tell yourself that it is well with you. Your confession lifts you higher above your situation for God's miraclous intervention. Praise God for your situation and reflect and see the way and what you will get out of the whole issue. God bless you as you continue to depend on Him to see you through.IT IS WELL WITH YOU.

Thought For Today
It's been a little of concern to me, in a lot of events unfolding in the lives of some of the great preachers we admire and sometimesw adore.We hear marriage failure,expensive lifestyle,fighting and some other unthinkable happennings.The good book has all these vices penned down a long time ago.We are to go back to the owners manual and find out truth for living in this end time.Do not let your heart fail, trust still in Him who has called you, and even encourage you to look upon Him. He is the only one who will never, i say never ever fail you.I love to study the Word because that is why i get all my strenght from.This has made me to know that, depending on the arm of flesh will definitly fail us.What happens when someone you so trust, that is always preaching, and penning down stuff for you to read, and you suddenly hear,or find out that they are not living what they write or preach about? Do you get discourage and shun the way of the Lord? Pack up your faith and tell yourself that, if the can not make it, who are you to continue. Well, i have come to encourage you that it is the sign that the ende is drawing close. We should not faint or loose our confidence in God because if we remain steadfast, we will reap if we faint not. Give more time to the reading of the Word than you give to other human writings. You will discover that, there is nothing that comes your way, or the happenings concerning those you admire that are failing that cause you to draw back. Also i will encourage us to pray more for those tha bring us the Word, that the enemy of our soul will not remove them from their first love, not being puffed up by their achievement and alowing pride, which brings many to their downfall. I pray that we will all be faithful till His coming. God bless you.

time of reflection
Happy new year to all you God's people. Thank God we made it into a new year and a time of new begining. I have to say im very sorry for not posting my inspired words for those who they are meant for. We should take time out and reflect on the things we did last year that did not testify of all of His goodness and glory.Looking back and moving forword is my slogan. i will not allow those things that were weights the past year to drag my upword movements this year.I am becoming wiser everyday,because the good book has it that when we number our days, we will apply our hearts unto wisdom.Please let us not repeat and stumble again with things that were not helping us to reach the highest call of God for our lives. The plan and purpose of God for us in this year of new begining will come to pass. We will attain the highest place of all the blessing nof God for our lives.THINK BACH AND LOOK FORWORD. God bless you.

How do you feel
Today is another day in my life and i am going to enjoy it no matter how or what i feel.
Why do we always feel up today and down tommorrow? Yeah, i guess a lot of people will come up with different ideas. Sorry, i have read quite a number of books on this and heard a lot said about it, all the same my feelings especailly those that tend to make us unhappy, unaccomplished and so moody that most times we do not want to continue to live. Lives in itself has alot to through our way and if we dont start taking charge of our lives, the enemy of our soul will definetly mess us up.I have decided that a day at a time will help me overcome a lot that the enemy of my soul has lined up for me.
I now wake up every morning with this big smile on my face for my Lord and saviour who has made it possible for me to get up this morning. Do we know that, that on its own is a sign that we will overcome whatever the feeling that might come on that day. I am taking charge of my feelings because if i don't, it will mess me up. And i found out that it is not only me that it will mess up but my love ones and tose who have my best interest at heart.
Those feelings that are very negative should not be allowed to go on unchecked in our lives. but those that benefit us and God also has put in us to help, should not be suppresed.
Always put your feelings under check , this will help you advance in whatever you have planned to do in your live

Waiting
We all at one point in life or another are waing for something.Most times waiting becomes so unbearable that we give up.
Life itself is filled with a lot of waiting experiences.The time of conception, our mothers waited until the due time.The baby in the womb could not be forced out no matter how inconvinence it seemed to the mother during the pregnancy.Although there are times when it becomes a matter of life and death that the pregnancy is terminated.But this is not what i am writing about.
The delivery time is waited on, and even during the labour of the baby, waiting is also of an essence.Well i know by now, you are wondering why is she using this analogy when all you care to know is how do you wait.Please read along, it will relieve your period of waiting at the end of all my writing.
I too, had to learn that being anxious over certain issues in life is a big waste of time and effort.The baby, as i pointed out, wiil be delivered when it is time, allowed period of time to learn to eat solid food even when the parents wants the diaper period to be over.There comes the time to teach the child,time for the child to become independent,time for every developmental period of the child's life is waited upon.
All of life issues are waited on and this sort of baffles me when i have something to accomplish, i start fretting, getting myself worked up or being unnecessarily anxious even when i know that my life has been planned by God.
All our anxiety only proves that we no longer believe what God has said concerning our situation, and also we want a quicker way out of the situation.
By nature, i am not a patient person. If i want anything done, it has to be by my time.This has put me under unplesant situation that has caused me alot of heartache.So God allowed situation in my life that have been beyond my contro, to teach me to wait on Him. I know the same applies to you because we are all made in His image and likeness. Just think about this for a moment, most of the things God has allowed you to wait for, if they had materialised as at the time we wanted them ,most likely that they would not have been the best of what God has planned out for us. In some cases, they would have destroyed us.
The most serious case scenario i would want to use here is about the single.The guy or the lady is believingGod for a partner and it is not forth coming, especialy if you are a believer and you are trusting God who sees the end from the beginning to choose for you.There is the tormmenting voice that will start giving you all sorts of idea,especially when time is ticking so fast, you might want to do it your way which might not be His way and then end up getting into more pain than they expected.
Waiting, is a time of preparation for the things we are waiting for.It is a time of serious reflection and a sobre period.It is not a time to accept something less than your expectation. If we have to wait longer to get what we set out to get in the first instance, i believe that the waiting period will no longer matter.Our parents rejoice to see us when after nine months in the womb,no matter how long the labour period lasted, the baby is born and the pain the woman felt is easily forgotten because a baby is born.
God will srenghten us in our time of waiting., no matter what we are all waiting for, we shall all smile and rejoice and also, encourage others who would not want to wait.
Anything that is waited for has always been the best, so i want to encourage us to wait, wait and wait. God who says in His word that they that wait upon Him will renew their strength, will definetly strenghten us during our waitin period.

God reigns
I had a lot of work to do the other day,and did not have any time to waste.Doing a DIY (do it yourself) was used by God to teach me that He truly reigns in all our situation.
The bedroom cabinet that was to be fixed was not suppose to last the time it did. But as we were two people fixing it,we found out that interpreting the instruction manual was not so understandable as we thought it should be.The instuction was to be followed step by step, and the next level was not to be fixed unless the previous was corret.But somewhere along the fixing , we could not get it right because we had bypass maybe, a little screw, and we spent more time on that level than was necessary. Do you know what?We became very tired and worn out, just because we did not want to start all over to get it right. Eventually we came to the end of the wardrobe, and it sat down there, very beautiful.
At the end of the day,(like i would normally reflect) my mind went to the time we could not make any headway, and then we taught we should pack it up for another day.Is it not truly the way we want to abandon a lot of life issues that look as if they cannot be achieved? I also saw the way that our lack of patience and looking inward allow us to waiste precious time in this world trying to find our bearing. Let us go back to the owner's manual,the Bible and study it, to find out how He wants us not to go through the pain of life for too long.I also learnt that, there are a lot of little things that we over look in the affairs of life,that, will cause us not to reach our greatest potential.Time will be saved,most pain would be avoided,more would be achieve when we spend time enough to understand what God wants our lives to be like if time is spent in His manual. God reigns in that situation you are going through right now, all you need to do is to check out THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
