Left, Right, Up and Down

Left,

You never know how complicated life is until you are left all alone,

Abandoned and rejected with frustration creeping into your life when everyone is gone,

Your sight blurred by the fog of loneliness,

Because all you have known is what you are left,

But look right,





Right,

You think you look right and so you are right,

Until one day you will realise that you are just right wrong,

Wrong about the thoughts you hold captive about yourself,

Kidnapping people's perception in the chambers of your heart,

Storing them under the right conditions in the store house of your mind,

You think your heart is right?

You might be wrong because the last time it got broken you might have missed a broken piece,

But look Up,





Up,

You look up to yourself and not to God,

All because you hold in your hand a million dollar bill,

But you have forgotten that everything that has a beginning has an end,

So chill,

When the whole world comes to an end, how are you going to end?

But look down,





Down,

You look down on yourself like the cedi compared to the dollar,

Forgetting who God made you to be,

Thinking the world is now upside down,

Because you mostly hit rock bottom,

But don't forget that the only way up is down,





You see sometimes you might get into life's ups and downs,

And when you look left and right there is no one,

But then look up to God and not down to yourself,

Then you will realise that God has always been at your left and right.

Peace!!

seasons greetings 🎅🎉💐

Recently I had the privilege of being made up with some expensive make up. When the MUA was done, I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. I was a lighter version of myself from a few dabs of makeup. This recall brought to mind one word , image. I was told I couldn't recognize myself because I wasn't used to the makeup.
 
We are molded in the image of the Almighty, our spirit man should flow with Him in unity. We reflect His  glory and men see us and give Him glory. Do people see Jesus in you? Do you see Jesus in you?

Some people are heavy with anointing they are seemingly ashamed of because they will be teased. They ignore it and pretend not to know how to operate in it. People want to belong so much they forget they already belong. We are a royal priesthood, a holy nations, God's special people. We look different from the world because we don't wear makeup anymore Or are you so used to the makeup and trying to fit in that God no longer recognizes you? Do you find your image as Christ's, are you shining brighter and brighter unto the morn?
 We forget a day is coming where we will no longer have makeup to hide our tears, wears and scars. When all is said and done and it is just you before the throne, will you stand, will your dedication, commitment and actions to the Lord melt in the flames or come out shiny?
Holidays are here and everyone is excited about the season and about Christ. We remember the babe born to us with a purpose and image he kept from day1

Jesus spent time in prayer and in the word..... as the year ends lets find our only image which is Christ in prayer and bible reading that we may walk blameless before the Father.
 as the year ends ,Can You recognize yourself?
Did you start well and get lost?
Are you  feeling guilty and lost?
Come to Jesus  now.

Growing pains

Hebrews 4v 15

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathizes with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way , just as we are –yet was without sin

                                                                                                         NIV

 You know how you mean to do so well in a test in school, but you don’t want to stud for it and when you write it you flunk in style? Well, I do. So I flunked a test I know I could have than better in and it hurt me to my soul. Then I asked myself this question, when I disobey GOD, or allow temptations to rule over me do I feel that kind of pain?  No, was my answer. Immediately I realized that I haven’t been so good to God or to myself.  A test I can make up for but the blood which cleanses me from within again and again and again ….. Never

In the book of Hebrews, I learnt that Jesus who is our High Priest has been tempted In every way as we have and yet was without sin. It makes Him look like a superman of some sort but it also lets me know I can achieve that course .Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses he doesn’t approve of then neither does he condemn them. He understands how fragile we are and also has made a provision for us not only in his blood for forgiveness but to enable us avoid sin and all its consequences.

Hebrews 4 v 16

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and grace to help us in our time of need.

                                                                                                   NIV

Still struggling with sin?  Come to Jesus now.

Extra Oil

Heard the story of the wise and foolish virgins? In Summary, 10 girls were invited for a wedding feast, 5 were wise , 5 were foolish. Wise because they took extra oil for their lamps and the foolish one took no extra oil. The bridegroom delayed and the girls fell asleep.when he finally came, the oil in the lamps were finished . The foolish ones asked the wise ones for some of their oil but they didn't have enough to share. They then had to go into town to buy some oil....by the time they returned the wise girls were already in the feast and the doors were Shut. 
If you were to choose which group of girls would you join?
The wise virgins are those who are ready . Girls guides have this motto:be prepared .
This means always ready for whatever challenge they had.
As Christians we should always be ready... We should do what we have been called to do and do it with 2 things in mind :
We will be judged according to how we responded to the calling on our life .
We won't be on this earth forever.
Prepare by prayer , reading and meditating on the word which are Spirit and life, by obeying the word which shows our love for our Lord.
Should Jesus come today will he find you in readiness?

Psalm 119

This is one of those chapters i read and i know i am lacking in my walk with God. + it is lenghty 😏 still worth the read
Here i realise the relevance of God's word to my christian walk.. Lets check out a few verses
1. Joyful are people of integrity
   who follow the instruction of the Lord
  Integrity is actually an instruction of God and it brings joy. Walk in integrity.
5. Oh , that my actions will consistently reflect your decrees.
We may know the word but do we live it?
6.Then I will not be ashamed when i compare my life with your commands.
😢 i am scared to pick my Bible and measure my life with it.. Will i stand?
10. I have tried to find you
Don't let me wander from your commands
My earnest prayer when i feel likd i should stop seeking God cos i go off.
11. I have hidden your word in my heart that i might not sin against you.
How can i hide His word in my heart
14. I have rejoiced in your laws as much as in riches
Mind blown!! I think of money  but do i think of God .
Where is my Joy?  

May we truly find God this October
