Blessed with Burden

Image
  Blessed with Burden I was reflecting through my life a couple years ago, and I learnt these 4 things: 1. A burden produces a blessing A burden produces a blessing. The reason on your head stands a certain kind of blessing is because there's a burden you need to address with that blessing. With a burden, you provoke a blessing to respond. Thus, in the absence of a burden, the blessing becomes a burden likely. Trust me, without the correspondent burden,  the blessing can dismantle you. Let the blessing find a burden in your heart. It will stay longer in the presence of a burden. May it be your prayer that God imprints in you a burden worthy the blessing. You are first blessed with a burden before you are blessed with the blessing. 2. A burden produces gratitude A burden produces an attitude of gratitude prior to the blessing. Everything you are not grateful for, graduates from your life. You sustain the blessing with gratitude. Thus, without the burden, you can hardly realise ...

Why Do We See Beauty First?

  Why Do We See Beauty First? A couple of days ago, we were talking with my brother and he asked a question that got me excited and all that: why do we see beauty first when approaching a woman? Yoh, it sparked some curiosity in me further to the answer I gave.  The simple reason first of all is because we take after our Father. You’re normal and okay if what you see first is beauty. It is a natural character that we possess in likeness of God. You see, in several places we see God exercising this character in first chapter of Genesis. We find the words “God saw it was good, and God saw it was good, and God saw everything He had made, and, behold, it was very good.’’ God took the first initiative to see, and good enough what He saw was not just good but very good at the end of the day. The woman we are talking about remember she is something that God took His time on: she is very good in making. That’s why when you see her, what you see first is the crafting hands of God on he...

Stop Believing in Yourself

  Stop believing in yourself Something I learnt doing early but understood later: “Don’t believe in yourself.” How can you make it in life if you don’t believe in yourself? Exactly, today the world advocates the self attitude. We are told to at least have the ability to tell ourselves that we can do it! The funny thing is: how many times have you told yourself you can do it and you never did it? How many times have you told yourself you got this and you never got it? It might sound strange to you, but it’s an error to believe in yourself. Nowhere in the Bible to my studying so far, have I been told to believe in myself, to trust myself. But I have been told repeatedly to believe God, to believe in God, to trust God, to trust in God...for those who trust in themselves are fools (Proverbs 28:26). Lean not on your own understanding but trust God with ALL your heart. Plainly, Jesus was like you know what, abide in me and I in you; for without me you can DO NOTHING . It is then further...

How to Balance Yourself

  How to Balance yourself An important question I got: How did you balance God, school, leadership, relationship, and all that you are? I will always  say this: you balance matters by never balancing them. Don’t balance them, and you will have them balanced. Let’s expound it this way: balance is a state of equilibrium, it’s a state where the matters at hand acquire equality. By equality, it means your matters rest on the same level. Now to begin with, God and your matters cannot be placed on the same level, it’s an error. Your school, relationship or whatever is not as important as God is. Hear me, your school, relationship and the concerned idea is important as God is when God is in your school,  in your relationship and your said matter.  Balance is a matter of equality and I wouldn’t advise you on it in this scenario. Rather, the balance in question is a matter of priority. Thus, let us call this balance ” Stability “. Have priorities and your matters will gain ...
