Shelter....

                  In his warm heart Shelters found Have you ever been in this moment when you are looking for something that you need desperately. You have searched everywhere, scattered everywhere still you couldn’t find it. Just to realize after 30mins of searching that the item you were looking for was right there on you, not far away, in your pocket. Most times we go out looking for things and love when what we are looking for is right there within us. We look outside for love when we don’t even love ourselves. We look out side for support when we don’t even support ourselves. We look outside for people to believe us when we don’t even believe in ourselves.  Start with you.  You are looking for love Love yourself first How can you love yourself you ask.... Well I have an answer for you Appreciate you Be grateful for you Smile for you Love yourself this month

Every rose has its thorns

Image
Stabbing and throbbing   Twisted deep in my flesh The pain was excruciating  But I couldn’t have sunshine Without a little rain A thorn in my flesh But my love is strong enough to make it blunt For every rose has its thorn @muzikally_addicted Everyone wants things to go smooth. No body loves to have troubles on the way. But in a real life situation, this isn’t always the case.  This is why we have to prepare our minds for the worse. It might not always go according to our plans.  Everyone has their own troubles and challenges and finding out what works for you best will also help you go through your challenges easier and more efficiently. Some trials are meant to mold you and strengthen you. Don’t give up when it gets rough. That phase might be a transition phase needed for your uplift.  Stay strong and live healthy and don’t give up Love that thing so much that you wouldn’t give it up Every rose has its thorns Every su...

Taking Breaks?

Image
We most times over work ourselves and then blame ourselves for it when things don't work out or when we don't do things right. Everything needs Breaks. A break time is a time to refuel, re-energize what you have lost while you were working or doing a particular activity. During your break, you can eat, chat, watch a movie, read a book, meditate or do something that makes you feel relaxed. When should you take breaks? 1. When you are getting frustrated over the tinniest thing, take a break 2. When you have worked for so long and you start feeling weak, take a break 3. When you need to, take a break Let me give you an example about myself. Whenever I am studying and I start getting or feeling stressed, If I take a break and then resume studying, I have found out that I would study 2X faster than I would have if I haven't taken a break. If you refuse to take breaks, your body itself will take a break without your consent. That wouldn't turn out too good. ...

What I learnt this Christmas 🎄

Image
Christmas is a season of joy peace love and a constant reminder of how a change agent came into this world and saves us from our sins That special beautiful night. When Christ was born, came to drive away every nightmare  That special beautiful light, that shone so bright when he was born, came to drive away every darkness  That special beautiful feeling, that the wise men felt when he was born, brought joy to the world That very beautiful moment when he was born is a constant reminder of how beautiful things still happen even in the most unpleasant situations  That beautiful smile on Mary's face when he was born is a constant reminder that despite the evil there is joy to the world  It is Christmas! Don't just show love  on this day, show love everyday. You don't always have to receive a gift or give a gift to feel loved. You can just say something beautiful to someone everyday. It doesn't have to be beautiful to be meaningf...

Song review not lucky i'm loved by Jonathan McReynolds

Image
Listening to this song the past few weeks since when it came out has been one of the Amazing songs I am listening to.  This song has everything in it that you need in this season I'm just going to give a brief summary about the song and hopefully make you listen to it. this song talks about God's love  which most people think it is luck. When you are loved the things that happened to you is not by accident . luck is just something that happens just in case and it is not guaranteed.  it is not fixed.  when you are Lucky, you want to take the credit you think oh it's  my luck so I deserve it. you think you want to credit but this song is trying to tell us that the credit is not ours, it is not luck it's for God's glory which is not meant for you. When we start seeing how loved by God we are we stop limiting our selves to luck which is not guaranteed and start embracing the love of God and the good things that comes with it. With enough said click on this li...

Lifting the right weights?

Image
We most times sing this song,  lord I lift your name on high. Lifting God's name high is lifting God above us and he being the focus.  This makes it not about us but about him.  So when it is not about you,  you don't have to worry about the things that you are going through and feel so discouraged,  because looking up itself is hope in itself and then looking at the author and finisher of our faith has no better view. So when we are seen,  we are not really seen but God is glorified above us.  We most times lift up our problems and magnify our problems and forget that one simple solution is to drop our problems at Jesus feet and lift Jesus up and focus on him. Glance at your problems Fix your gaze on God For it's not about you. Lift him high!! His yoke is easy

To the one who doesn't understand physics

Image
To that student who does understand physics Know that to every action There is an equal and opposite reaction Know that those formulas Are not what you can't learn Those equations are not what you can't derive Those questions are not you can't solve But because you don't understand it You dim your eyes to it You study it with the thought in mind "IHATEPHYSICS" "I DON'T LIKE PHYSICS" "I CAN'T UNDERSTAND PHYSICS" Know that if you continue to study it With that thought in mind You will not get it not because you are not trying enough But because your Mind has been unintentionally programmed To not get it. Begin to see what you can do to get it Begin to see the easiest way to help you get Start feeling it! When you feel it,  you get it.... 

To the one waiting for sunshine

Image
To the one waiting for sunshine Try to really focus on your life Not abandoning the hurts and the pain, But rather magnifying the love and the gain You will start to see that you don't look like what you've been through Not because you have been through little But because God's perfect grace Like a shield Protected you. You begin to see that despite all these things You have seen more gain in your pain You have felt more cool breeze than thunderstorms Despite all of your complains You have seen more sunshine than rain This led to the conclusion Yes,  you.... You are not lucky,  you are loved! #notluckyimloved #jonathanmcreynolds #morganharpernichols #africanwriters #newsingle #storyletters #supportgoodmusic #godswatchman

Words for the week

Image
Hustle and flow You are who you say you are. Life's common denominator - death Living rich and dying broke... Trying to impress people who are not worried about you The only person you should be competing with is who you were yesterday. Never tell your big dreams to small people.  Because they will cut your dream down to their size. Closed mouth don't get fed.  Stand up and name your pain. Speak up for yourself. Don't get too used to it and lie down on it.  If you don't name it for yourself,  other people will name your problems for you. Even when they have no right to do so. Go's is so good,  that he knows how to multiply through subtraction. Faith is going to do the work even though you don't know how it is going to work out,  but that is when God is doing his work.

To the girl going through hard times....

Image
#30daysofstoryletters To the girl going through hard times Believe that you are light Bright and beautiful Even when people Might miss the brightness Because of your unadorned clay pot Where your light is stored Know that This is to prevent anyone From confusing God's incomparable power with you. You are not really looking like light You have been battered with troubles You have been thrown down But not broken Through it you lived Know that every detail Of what you are going through Is working  to your advantage And God's glory More more grace More more people More more praise A day doesn't go by Without God's unfolding grace There's far more here Than what meets the eye The things you see now Are here today,  Gone tomorrow But the things you can't see now Will last forever! You are not alone....

Story of my Life: When all seems to be so fast paced

Image
How I survived this week was just beyond my understanding... It gets to a pointin your life, it looks like everything is all coming at you at once,  you have no space to breathe, no space to eat or watch tv.  No space to hang out and do things! This past week was like that for me.  I had SO much to do in a very short time.  Preparing for exams,  finishing a comprehensive lab report, completing another lab report,  assignments, personal life...  The list was endless I got through this week by grace and motivation.  I had to motivate myself.  Whenever I felt like I was fidgeting,  I spoke soothing words to myself...  Just take one day at a time.  Don't get so caught up in all you have to do,  that you get so depressed! Know that each day passes by without your request... This too will pass. Set plans of how you want to go through your tasks.  Some people prefer completing a task before going to the next, ...

Life Lessons from the Woman with the issue of blood

Image
The courage to break free Mark 5:25-35 Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid,  but you have the courage to overcome it. It is easier to bind you when you are not moving. Fear has stopped so many people than failure has ever done. The woman with the issue of blood faced the fear of death,  of social rejection and the courage to take a high risk She knew she wasn't supposed to be in the crowd,  but she was at a point at which she was willing to take the highest risk of her life.  You won't get to where you are going without the courage to take the high risk at one point if your life. A high risk is something that can bring you in,  or do you over, something that can make you or break you,  something that can make you crash or rise like a shooting star,  it is something that can tear your life apart or take you to somewhere you have never been before.  It is easy to talk yourself out of freedom. It is easy for you to adjust ...

Lessons from the blind man : Even if you were born with it.

Image
Bishop Rudolph Mcissick John 9:1-12 His inability to see Jesus did not prevent Jesus from seeing him.  The blind man miracle happened because Jesus saw him. Jesus did something for the man that he couldn't see him.  When you don't see Jesus,  Jesus can still see you  Don't determine your future based on what you can See.  Don't determine where you are going based on what you can see. God didn't become God when it got light.  God was God when it was dark.  And then he brought the light. So the darkness doesn't question his divinity.  He healed the man without a presence of a request. He didn't ask to be healed. He did it for me anyhow He did it for me anyways Jesus showed us how he would use the blindness of the man.  Jesus always sees opportunities inspite of obstacles.  He uses the obstacles to make miracles.  If there wasn't an obstacle there won't be need for a miracle. Jesus will see past where you have been. To ...

The "I" Factor

Image
What is the "I" factor? This is a factor of everything been about you and radiating around you. When we pray or ask God for something, let our focus be on him. When your focus is on him, you cannot be swayed by anything, because he owns everything. When you are so focused on yourself and what you did, it becomes distracting to you yourself. The "I" factor. Because "I" prayed, Because "I" fasted, because I did this and that..... Yes, you took those steps. But God made it happen. He granted you the grace to do those things. Remember, All the Glory belongs to God, not just a percent of it. His glory is not a shared agreement. It is all his and his alone. Psalm 77

Don't talk about it, Be about it

Image
Most times,  people give with their mouths instead of their hands.  1 John 3:16-18 16  This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.   17  If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?   18  Dear children,  let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. Do something for someone,  not because they will give it back,  not because they will recognize you,  not because you will find favor in their site,  but because you just want to help..  Not for the benefits. When God blesses you,  it ain't about you.  It is about doing for people that don't have what you have. The fact that you can't pay God back,  no matter what you do,  for all he has done,  and he still keeps doing it,...

Bread for the Hungry

Image
Where shall we buy bread.  A question of examination.  But Philip said ermm we don't have enough money to buy bread.  The question was where do we buy bread and not how do we buy bread.  We most times are too focused on what you don't have. That is why we are stagnant.  Always focused on the inefficiency. Whenever God gives you a vision,  you will never have enough of what you think you need to do all that God has called you to do.  That is why you need faith.  Faith says that I am going to actively move towards what God is calling me to do.  There are some blessings you will receive by obeying and showing up.  Take that step of faith. You gonna need to have courage and walk by faith. It is also a question of preparation. Verse 6. God already knows what he his going to do.  I am blessed.  I go through stress... But his grace has being sustaining me. I ain't gonna worry about some stuff that God has already w...

Impossibilities

Image
You most times can only go as much as you dream. This is why you shouldn't limit your dreams. Dream big and dream high.  If you can dream about it,  you can achieve it. With God,  all things are possible. Do your hard work and homework. Don't believe in the word impossible. This is because impossibility is only determined by time. What was impossible 10 years ago,  is now possible.  For example,  cars driving themselves. Don't limit your self to what time says.  Work over time.  Believe in possibilities. Once you see the possibility of a thing,  it becomes possible!

Song Review: Pressure by Jonathan Mcrenoylds

Image
THE PRESSURE Most times we often compare our life to the lifes of others and the things happening around us. We often feel the pressure of not being good enough, the pressure of trying to satisfy people,  there by making us live false lifes. When God created you,  he called you good.  That is the conclusion. But remember, he created you to be you and not someone else.  When you are trying to be some else, then you are trying to become someone that God didn't create. The grass is always green on social media.  Everyone wants to share their bests moments there.  Don't let your life be focused on the things you see on social media. Be yourself! Not someone the world has made! Not someone the church has made! Release that Pressure! You are not alone! @jonmcreynolds #pressure #lifemusic #jonmcreynolds #makeroom #cover #guitar #Godswatchman Lyrics below I, I can't even turn on my phone Without being reminded, of the lie That I am alone and...

Chronicles of some righteous ruff riders.

Image
Acts 4:1-20 You can know the word, but you have to put the word to work. Sometimes we don’t know the power invested in ourselves if we don’t work that work. The book of acts is the recording of the Jesus movement. It represented Christ and empowers those who are on the mandate. Acts 1:8 In Acts chapter 2, he put the word to work. In chapter 3, Peter had an opportunity to put the word to work. Whenever Gods gives you the work, he gives you an opportunity to put the word to work, if only you can let your weakness shine bright like a diamond. Chapter 4 , Peter and John, got confronted by the priest, saducces, got arrested, because the saducces can’t make the people unsee what they saw, or unhear what they heard. The got arrested because the sadducces don’t believe in the resurrection of the dead, they only believe in the first five books and they only believe Don’t only know the word, live out the word. Put the word to work. People know you, respect you but ...
