Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. One thing you must know about yourself is that you are dynamic and different, yes you are special. Therefore, envy no one, you were made special no copy of you exists, know this and begin to live. Truly, you may know others who have the same goals, aspirations or exhibit the same talent/gifts with you but yet you are different. One thing you are not, is irrelevant. You are a class all by yourself. People could confuse or misrepresent you because of the state/position they see you at a particular point in time (be it high or low). It limits them from seeing who you really are in the Spirit so they respond to you from the limited perception. * Abraham: Abimelech misjudged Abraham Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that y...

Lamentations 3:22-23 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!  His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. It is the first day of the last month of this year. Are you happy to hear "good morning"? What is good about the morning? * you are alive  * those around you * that you can read this * that you can speak * that you can eat * that you have a job to do * that you can think (even worry) * that you are relevant * that you have a target to meet * that you have desires and aspirations The reasons abound. Yes, you may allow your mind to dwell on your mistakes through the year, even a loss or maybe expectations or goals that are yet to come to pass. Listen, you are alive, therefore you have every reason to thank God. The delay is not a denial the vision will yet come to pass, those promises and those good desires of yours will still be accomplished. Habakkuk 2:3 This vision is for a future time.  It describes the end, and it wi...

Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. It is very likely to get exhausted when you keep at it again and again after a long time especially if it is the same routines or patterns. The question should be * Is it a good thing? * Am I on the right part? * Is God happy with me? * Am I positively influencing lives? If the answer is YES then we overlook our fatigue and move on. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Of course it is natural to feel exhausted the scripture says we should not get weary. It implies we know when to rest, when to replenish our strength and not to cease to rely on our heavenly supply. Mark 6:31 And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. Yet in resting we shouldn't sleep off and forget...

1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Silence could connote a lot of things. * one wanting to be left alone * anger * pain * thinking * one in trouble * not having much to say * unhappiness * stress * a hidden ailment or disease or even * fear. * could also be time to reflect and to make amends * or maybe a time out to meditate There is a need for us to understand the reason behind any silence, cause though nothing might be wrong, a lot could also be wrong. Those we call our loved ones should always be on our mind that we may know when something is wrong. 1Corinthians 12:25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. One painful silence anyone could experience is when it seems God is not speaking. Nothing is as painful as not knowing what God expects from us. One thing is true, God has given us medium(s) through which he communicates with us. * ...

John 10:27-28 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, We live in a world that is full of noise.  A lot of things come in from every corner. How do you filter out the evil from the good, how do you keep your self safe from being corrupted, deceived or destroyed? By always being at the right frequency. If you are to live in faith you should hear the voice of the Lord above all the noise. Psalms 62:11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. Jesus said His own will hear His voice and thus they would follow Him, they would not follow another. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: So many things seek our attention. * Some are very important * Some are not that important * Some are a mere distraction * Some come to destroy * Some yet come to bring fear and hopelessness  They all work to destroy our faith. T...

Matthew 25:24 "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. Everyone was created with the power to contribute, we all have something to offer. I have come to see in man that in lacking one thing we are compensated with another. The question is, what have we done with what we have? What have we contributed? Have we made good use of that which we already have? We could decide to complain of what others have, what they know or where they have gotten to. When will we use that which we have? When do we become that blessing? When do we become the giver or encourager? It is time to look at our accounts, assets, talents, gifts and anointing. Proverbs 11:24 - 25 There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also b...

Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: We have taken control of ourselves. Next we need to take control of our relationship with others. We could be * leading others: a parent, employer, pastor, teacher or in rulership position( political or otherwise) * be led by others: employee, laity, children, student, citizen, or just reporting to someone * a spouse *  a neighbour * a relation * a public servant: a journalist, welfare worker, medical personnel, in the judiciary or in the armed forces or law enforcement Whether we are reserved, outgoing or in between, we fall into one category or the other. We affect the lives of others. That is why the bible says . . . Hebrews 12:14 & 15 Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking diligently lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become def...
