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.

YOU DON'T GROW BY AGE

   Age and degree alone can never bring maturity; it's insight from God's word that brings maturity. One part of the bible says "desire the sincere milk of God's word that ye may grow". The reason we have many broken homes and relationships is because some people are not growing. They think age, degree or money only confers growth. Absolutely NO! It's your level of insight on the word of God. It's possible to have understanding than the ancients if only you make God's word your meditation. Any relationship can be restored and become heaven on earth if both partners can grow up by insight on the word God.

No matter the number of your degrees or the amount money in your account, you're still a baby if you are not full of the word.

   Even the Holy Book says "man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God". The question is; how are you living? Is it by food only? We have many people living by food only thereby having  dead relationships,  businesses. No life in their marriages or courtships. The wine of their relationships has become stale. There's no book that can teach you how to love your spouse, children or people passionately and unconditionally except the word of God. Have you forgotten this? Guard your heart above all else, because out of it are the issues (happenings, events) of life. All the events of your life comes from your heart. Destructive marriage or courtship comes from heart. Don't blame the devil.  Protect your heart by the word of God. As you change the software or program of your heart, the hardware of your life will also change. You want change in your marriage, courtship or dating relationship, grow up by insight from the word. Don't be too busy for the word of God. Find time for the word no matter what. One hour with the word can save you from regret in your marriage.

   You can't be faithful in that relationship without the word of God. How will someone study the book of proverb and still be running after sugar mummy or daddy or slay queens.  If someone still does that, he/she lacks understanding of the word. You will find in one part of the book of wisdom written by one of the greatest kings ever lived that "delight in the wife of your youth, let her breasts satisfy you always". Remember, you don't grow by age or degree, but by the word of God.

DO YOU LOVE AFRICA?

   The holy book says "pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls; and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes,  I will now say, peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good." This was written by one of the greatest musicians and instrumentalists of the old testament. Whether we like it or not, our Jerusalem is Nigeria and Africa as a whole. We have to consistently be praying for the peace of Nigeria and Africa.
   People say, Africans are poor and many Nigerians live below $1 per day. The question is; do you love this country? Nobody can prosper in a country he/she hates because the wealth secret of that country will not be revealed unto him. One of the grrates lover of Africa is ALIKO DANGOTE. I know you're familiar that name. Some Nigeria musicians even used the name to sing that "I want to be rich like Dangote". He made one profound statement that "if he's given all the money in the world, he will invest it in Africa". You shouldn't be surprised why he's the richest in Africa.  He even encourages other Africans in abroad to come and invest in this continent.  The question is; "if you have all the money in the world, will you invest it in Africa?" Judge yourself.
Everybody hates our bad leadership, snail-like economy, poverty caused by not working together in love. We must not hate Africa if we want to prosper in it. We can't but love this continent. At least, for the sake of our brothers, sisters, wives, children, the next generation and even our religion, let's love our countries and Africa as a whole. Remember, the goodness of your country  will rub on you. Also, the worse of your country will rub on you. Nigerians can testify how they are being treated at International Airports because of bad image. Let's work together to redeem the glory of Africa. Let's put aside the belief that Africa was sold to the devil by our forefathers through idol worshipping. But my argument is, we should be free by now because we're the most religious continent in the world. And Christianity is more than other religions in Africa. You can testify with me that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than the power of the devil. Do you agree that devil is not our problem? We are just under the umbrella of hatred which is hindering the prosperity of Africa. If we're working together in love and looking for the good of our countries,  we'll be better of. There'll be enabling environments for innovations,  inventions and economy growth.
This trait of love is seen among the whites. I think many of them love their countries passionately. I'm not surprised they are setting the pace in technology , innovations and economy.  Until we love our countries,  there will be no development. Let's join our hands together to move Africa to greater heights. Remember,  united will stand, divided will fall. Africans, let's arise and shine together. Happy Democracy Day to my fellow Nigerians.

FORGIVERS ARE GREAT LOVERS

   In the Holy Book, we're told Christ gave Himself for the church to make them holy, blameless and faultless. He does this by forgiving us our sins (or shortcomings) even in advance. As believers in Christ Jesus, our future sins are already forgiven, that is why we're called saints or holy people. Likewise,  husbands ought to give themselves for their own wives, making her blameless,  faultless,  spotless and glorious. This is possible by forgiving your spouse in advance including those wrongs which are yet to be committed. By this, you will have a glorious wife and relationship. Your woman will not be seen as a problem and your relationship will be heaven on earth.

   Also, you can make others blameless, spotless and faultless by forgiving them in advance for any wrong. It offers that before he/she commits any wrong, your forgiveness is already waiting. Your forgiveness swallow up her wrongs. This is how our heavanly Father acts towards believers. He doesn't count our faults against us. His forgiveness (mercy, lovingkindness) swallows up our iniquities (or shortcomings). That is why we're always blameless, faultless and spotless before Him.

OPTIMISTIC MARRIAGE

 

Don't focus on what is lacking in your 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 about 25, 000 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 loves and two fishes, about 25, 000 people were fed with 12 baskets full of fragments left.

   Focus on the good part of your marriage and give thanks. You will see blessing, favour,  peace and progress in your marriage. Remember, bless your marriage often, do not curse. Be like Jesus who blessed the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes.
