This week, I want to thank God for God.
I really just want to let you all know that no matter how dark, or how long you have been in that situation that looks like it's never gonna end, God's got you, I promise you He is right there with you even when it doesn't look like it.
Just like He was in the Lions Den with Daniel, so he is with you even in this lion's den called life and just like Daniel, he will never let the troubles of life swallow you up, just continue to hold on to him and endure, and you will come out triumphantly with blessings and rewards.

There is this assumption that immediately one gives his/her life to Christ you are to immediately drop that bad habit. Sadly it doesn't always work like that and we unnecessarily castigate people who are doing their best to drop those addictions and life of sin. Understanding this will help us as Christians who are rooted in Christ to follow up with the individuals who just entered into the Christian family, teach them about the word of God, teach them about the stance of God, teach them about God's love for them, Pray with them and for them and leave the Holy Spirit to do the rest.
Whilst sin is not allowed and condoned, we have to understand that it's a gradual process with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Our Bad habits do not change God's love for us, but a daily reminder of God's love for us and understanding His love for us will change our habits.
Once we understand this, I believe we would all do better than castigating an individual trying their very best and instead pray, love, follow up and encourage them. |

Everything this said ๐ฏ๐๐พ |

This is something to seriously reflect on, a serious question for you today and everyday. Can you proudly say someone will make it to Heaven because of you? Either through your words or your actions!!! |

So relatable, it then feels like I was born for it ๐โ๐พ, don't worry I don't charge for mine.

I won't lie, it's not easy to love difficult people, especially if those people are not even giving you back an ounce of Love. Let's remember that to Love God is to Love even the hardest people to Love, because he first Loved us and let's be for real we are not the easiest people to love and sometimes when you look at it, we actually don't deserve the love.
In your relationship with others, let's remember how God still always looks down upon us with mercy and love, even when we don't deserve it, He gives us every form of His love and attention.
It's very Hard to show love especially when you get nothing in return, but please let's remember that it's an assignment God has given to us and the world would be a better place if we do.
Sometimes, a show of love preaches Jesus more than we would scream. Even the bad ones look at our lives and judge our character. Let your actions speak louder than words. |

So many angles to this, firstly, We sometimes mistake the second slide as your walk with God not being as rosy and beautiful as the first slide, because we are in a place of pain, low connection with Him and are loosing ourselves but you are still as close with Him as ever. Our relationship with God might not always be as rosy as slide 1, there are sometimes that you have never deviated from His words or from your godly living, but you aren't just feeling the moment in prayer and it happens, it doesn't mean you have strayed, the way the holy Spirit just decided to work at that time was different.
Other times, your relationship with Him is actually fighting for survival ๐, you have strayed and then the struggle to always be in his presence but the feeling of guilt can be terrorizing.
On some days it also feels like God has left you alone in the storm and you are just asking how He could do that to you.
But the truth is, the Lord will never leave you, that's a fact, we are the ones who leave but never God. God is always there, sometimes we want Him to act in some type of way we want but when He decides to be silent or gentle we feel He has left but He never did.
It's left for us to keep praying and seeing Him, asking for wisdom from Him every day to be able to discern what our situation with Him is at that very moment.
Never leave God, even when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Get tough with God. |

When we are at our lowest, at the point where climbing up is more than impossible, (acknowledging God's presence in your life of course), that's exactly where God wants you at. You are not there by mistake. God is up to something in your life, be it lessons He wants you to learn or things he wants you to unlearn, preparing you for what is to come, a training ground for your tomorrow and many other reasons He knows and we might never understand why in those moments but at the end of it all, when He brings you out of that low point, you then realize and thank Him for the opportunity to have learnt a lot and been loved so much by God. So never forget, God is always up to something even while you are down to nothing โฅ๏ธ |

We really do not understand the power of saying a prayer before performing any form of task. So many times that little whisper we made to God has fought so many silent battles that we remain clueless about. Do this before starting your day in general, before any form of task, talk to God for wisdom and strength to go through the task. Bringing our work place to the light, the kind of forces that plan to work against us in our working place is unfathomable. Not every colleague of yours that smiles to you does so from their hearts. Take heed and always learn to commit your day ahead to God, Let God take charge and do the rest for you.
