God, Me, and Mr M. A must read!!!

1 Samuel 16:17 "But the Lord said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him; for the Lord seeth not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.""

This week, I just want to tell you more about trusting God's decision for you. Two weeks ago, I wrote a piece on when God gives you a no for an answer. I will tell us exactly what happened, I mean why I wrote that post in the first place.

There is this person, I mean, a guy that sought to engage me. You know, he told me he loved me and stuff. As God's child, I told God what had happened. I was sincere in my approach, I made Him know that I liked that person, and that left for me, I wouldn't mind being his "Mrs". But as God would have His way, He told me, "NO, that man is not your man." Reluctantly and very much sadly, I agreed with God.

Now, fast forward to a few days ago, something so strange to me happened.

I was waiting on God while fasting and praying, when suddenly I felt the urge to send a message to that man (let's just call him Mr. M). I sent a hi to Mr M on whatsapp, and it turned out I was chatting with his "girlfriend", while he was supposedly fast asleep. She told me several things, ranging from how they've been together for over five years and still counting, and how she intended to kill herself if they ever had to break up.

I was as shocked as you are right now. Mr M is actually in a deep affair with someone else already, and he is also after me. You know, this is someone I met via a Christian forum, he's an active planner of a revival program tagged "Tetelestia", he's invited me to his church, he boldly told me to ask the Holy Spirit about him, and I'm even very close to a bosom friend of his.

I was disappointed, sad and happy at the same time!

Well, trust me, I became friends with the poor girl, and I didn't even try to break her heart (I prayed for her though). Anyways, I'm not writing this because I'm a heartbroken lady in love, nope. I'm sharing this so you can be more encouraged to accept God's "no".

Do not be deceived by the outward appearance, and listen to God. Embrace His desires for you even though you may not be totally happy with it. NO ONE'S GOT YOUR BACK LIKE OUR FATHER.  Psalm 37:5 "Commit your way unto the LORD, trust also in Him and He will do it."

If you would like to know what next happened after that revelation of Mr M, chat me up on +23452300773 (wink). 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...
