That Time Of The Year Again!

-
It's that time of the year again, where you begin to feel dissatisfied with yourself and your little or no achievements. I'm talking about that moment you try to analyze what you have been able to do with your life, and what you haven't. As a matter of fact, if we are not very careful, we might end up jeopardizing Christmas for ourselves.

Fine, you may have had several resolutions when the year started, but due to some unavoidable barriers, little was achieved. Still, that shouldn't make you think low of yourself for you have been fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Moreover, all things work together for the good of those that love God and the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:18).

So, believe you me, everything that you were not able to make, and that which you were able to do, are all for your good as long as you love God, and are walking in His purpose for you. For me, there are several things I wished and prayed for, but didn't get, not because I didn't work for those things, but, I know they turned out the way they did because that is God's will.

Friends, what matters the most is the will of God. If He wills for it to happen, sure the year ain't over yet, He can still do it for you. More so, if His will is for you to still hold on with patience, then let it be. Yours is to do your part, let Him handle His, OK? On the long run, you would realize God actually has your best interest at heart. Shalom

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
