DO YOU ADVERTISE YOURSELF (1)?



 The bible says "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
   It offers that you have something  that can change the world, making it better. There is a great treasure in you the whole world is waiting to see. The only way the world can see this great treasure is by making it known. Allow people to know what you're capable of doing.  Don't hide it. Don't put it under a bushel. Don't allow shame and fear bury your talent and potential. Allow it to shine to the world. Many of us have potentials, skills or gifts people don't know of like writing, singing, speaking, etc.  Even your spouse or friends  don't know you can sing, write or cook excellently. They can't know unless you advertise yourself by doing and showcasing this treasure.
   This generation is so blessed with advance in technology.  You can easily let your light shine to the world through the power of social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp). Don't hide that skill of writing. Don't hide that gift of speaking. Don't hide that gift of helping.  Don't hide that gift of motivating/encouraging people. This can be a pointer to your purpose in life.

ARE YOU TIRED OF THAT RELATIONSHIP?


   Don't focus on what is lacking in your relationship  (whether in dating,  courtship or marriage) because what you focus on expands and multiplies.  Be like Christ who was faced with the challenge of feeding multitudes of 5 000 men excluding children and women. If we're to do the rough estimate of the multitudes, they will be approximately 25, 000 people assuming women population was twice of men, and each of them came with at least a child.
   Jesus focused on what they had left ( 5 loaves and 2 fishes ) but the disciples focused on what they didn't have. By giving thanks on these loaves and fishes,  about 25, 000 people were fed with 12 baskets full of fragments left.
   Focus on the good part of your relationship especially marriage and give thanks. You'll see favour, peace and progress. But if a relationship is so toxic to you that it's negatively affecting your emotions, health or spiritual life, don't hesitate to leave such a relationship if you see no changes after applying aforementioned principles.         Remember, bless your relationship often, do not curse.

REST: THE GREAT ENERGISER


   God values rest to the extent He gave rest to the land. The book of Leviticus says "What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your intended vine, FOR IT IS A YEAR OF REST FOR THE LAND. If God could rest after six days of work, there is no human being that should not value rest. Rest precedes productivity. After resting, you become alert, creature and more productive.  It confers wisdom and clarity.
   Rest was so important that God declared a day as a Sabbath day for Holy Rest - it's a day of NO WORK.  If people can value this gift from God, we'll have more productivity and excellence. People will be basking in the glory of healthy living. Be reminded that the time of rest should not be more than the time of work. God wants us to work for 6 days and rest on the 7th day. It means there is more work than rest. It is a sluggard  (lazy fool) that rests more than he/she works. Solomon with the wisdom of God described vividly the end of this man. He said, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, so shall your poverty come like a prowler and your need like an armed man." Too much of rest leads to want and poverty. Remember,  the number of your work days should be more than the number of your rest days.
