WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

Image
 Hello there! It's me showing my face again after a long time. Well I have been off because....let us get to the point. Imagine how attentive you were 😂 On a serious note Many people ask this question out of frustration: 'why do bad things happen to good people?' Some go as far as saying 'why me?' Especially when they have done all the right things and yet things still go south. Before I start raising any point the first thing you should note is bad things happen to everyone and everyone at least once in a while have a bad time. However here are some points to shed more light on this: ◾GOD IS GOOD The average person has heard this a dozen time but yet many people still tend to blame God when things go wrong in their lives. Aside the fact that our decisions bear consequences we should also know that God is not involved in anything evil because he is good. God is not the orchestrator of evil it is the devil. A perfect example is the story of Job indeed Satan took p...

Wisdom vs Strength

Image
  What is wisdom?,is it just ability to place the right judgement or is there more to it?, how does a man get wisdom?, who is a wise man? and who is a strong man?, this and many more will be answered in this short reading. Enjoy as you read through.  I have realized that  a man of wisdom is valued in the society, a man of wisdom escapes many trouble and traps set for him. He excels in all his work and maximizes his time.  He increases in knowledge and his understanding is not stagnant either. Wisdom has many interesting definitions like the right sense of judgement...and the likes which are all true but only to an extent. Don't worry "strength" find its way into the discussion😂 True and deep wisdom has its source. Naturally, love births wisdom. Anything you love you develop wisdom towards that thing. If you love cooking for example you will develop wisdom towards cooking.  Since God is love(see 1 John 4:8) then wisdom comes from God. He alone give true wisdom. ...

Dealing with the little foxes?

Image
Song of Solomon 2:15 "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." What exactly are little foxes? As used in the context above it does not literally mean foxes, the context is just applying literature. Little foxes are minor faults, secret sin, small sin, lying tongue, unforgiveness, lust, jealousy, pride, impurity, unconfessed sins, delayed restitution, a little worldly association that draws the heart away from God, a little ill-temper, a little covetousness that leads to stealing, little prayerlessness, leading to self-management and spiritual blindness e.t.c. People don't often pay attention to these things but their result is very predictable and bad. From the nature of foxes, they are animals from the dog family, they are clever and cunny animals, they usually walk in groups, they do not go out for food in the daytime, but wait till it gets dark. They eat plants of different kinds; sometimes roots, and at other times ...

Habits

Image
  Habits are behaviors that we do regularly mostly subconsciously and sometimes consciously whether good or bad, habits are also those little decisions you take everyday that later convert to actions. Because habits appear as little decisions we don't pay attention to them meanwhile they make a major part of our lives. They contribute so much to our life to the extent that they are the reason we are in the position we are in  today. It is therefore important that we take conscious effort in the kind of habits we make and exude in our lives. Every unsuccessful person has their habits, every intelligent man has their habits, every failure has their habits too. Your behavior is simply  the way your conduct yourself. Since habits have so much effects in our lives. I will briefly discuss with us three areas that we must have good habits. There are many other areas but I believe these areas are key in anyone's life. 1️⃣  Healthy habits: I will list this in three categor...

Once I was a child...

Image
Children are wonderful and Unique God's creation. They  are free, innocent, honest, and apt to learn, they carry potentials in them. They are special, precious and God's gift to men. Of course every great man today was once a child, every mature person was once immature, every bold person was once a scared child. So being a child is a time or season no man can escape. People overlook some of their behaviors and talks sometimes because they know their  nature. So what lesson can we learn from children or that season of childhood? There are many lessons we can Learn from them. And one cogent lesson we must learn in comparism to life is that every big achievement start small. With  how true this is, many people wants to get to the top without climbing from the bottom. And  so they try short cuts, there is this saying "no short cut to success" yes it is true but I can also tell you that they are deadly cuts to success. Those who follow short cut don't last. Just ...

PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU...

Image
  When I say people are watching; I don't by anyway mean you have some set of spies who monitor your every movement. No! No! No! The people who are watching are made up of the people you know and relate with, some you don't know, those in your neighborhood, your teachers, those in your place of worship e.t.c. Some behabiours that you think you are hiding are actually open, in most cases both you and the people are just acting not to know anything. This is why it is important to be real and open to correction.  Do you know you have secret mentees? following your every action. And sometimes we dissapoint them and discourage them by our actions. You have eyes everywhere who know you so well, you just wait until something really spectacular happens to you and you will see every one of them saying one thing or the other about you and some affirming to it.  Can I be honest with you? Not only are people  watching you here on earth but also from heaven. You might be like: wh...

How can I overcome sin?

Image
Hello yo! Greetings from this side. It's really been a while, we apologize for the long silence. Sometimes it is just necessary or inevitable but anyways we are back! Let start shall we? Sin can be given many meanings or definitions but a simple definition of sin is transgression of the law. Sin was introduced by disobedience to God's commandment and instruction given to the first men (Adam and Eve) and eversince sin has been present in the world amongst men and in men. After the fall of man, men lived in sin carrying a sinful nature from their father(Adam). Although substitutionary means of dealing with sin was provided through the blood of animals but it was never enough for sin grew stronger in men.  God later gave some certain commandments to be followed strictly but this law gave sin more power because the result for breaking them was condemnation.  So man was in a miserable state in sin and its bonding power producing death. Years later Jesus came in the flesh and d...
