EAT YOUR BLESSING

WORKAHAULIC:
       EAT YOUR BLESSING

2 Thessalonians 3:7

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
--------------------------------------------
      Every time you enjoy free things you train your brain to want free things. 
There is way we like to keep hands folded while seeing work accomplished and things ready. It is like how it feels to wake up early morning only to find all house chores done. We want someone to do the work. We want someone to care and provide. This is how you will see some brethrens who best identify as beggars. 
What I have learnt is the habit of begging even when you don't necessarily have to limits the way God provides in your life. It is a way of suppressing your own ability to provide.

Stop the beggary mentality and holding out hands to seek for inputs. Be the one that provides. Stop expecting help from others all the time. You can receive help when given and can call for it when you are at the edge. But that is when you have tried harder than usual and have made it through all possibilities. You may never realise you can unless you try the hardest. The problem of help is that it keeps you warm , waiting for events to turn around. This is like a person who helps you push a bicycle while you are learning to ride. When you reach high speed, he lets you flow alone. It is obvious that what follows is a drastic fall which may discourage you to ride again. That is why you will see some people who become broke after losing a certain friendship...a friend they used to depend on and beg. It's good to try your hardest first. Learn to stand like Paul toiled. 

The problem of free things is that free things train you to expect a world of freedom where things come on silver plates. 
Work your own blessing and make your own money. It is more pleasant to enjoy the products of your sweat than to wait for help from those that have toiled. What you may receive as free has had someone work to present it. The begging all the time makes you a burden. Paul never wanted to be a burden. You can survive without having to beg every day. God can provide without you forcing means through others every day.
    
                        GOD BLESS YOU

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OMNIPRESENT

OMNIPRESENT Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. -------------------------------------------- One trouble that sets the pace of all other troubles is the fact that we draw in our minds. We may move through this world . We may encounter various situations. We may encounter various people. And of course we may encounter various challenges. What sets the pace for great challenges is thinking you are in singular. When a house is built on a single pole, it makes the house vulnerable to winds and rains. But the house that is built on various poles and support gives its inhabitants confidence of being safe from any form of disturbances. Even in those days, when they used send us for oil at a near by shop in the night, we had very strong fears. Of course you had to request for a torch for a company that you imagine will protect you.... though it lightens the dark black. Even with the light, you still feel afraid. But when we were sent in a group, there is...

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM   Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -------------------------------------------- When a man came to ask Jesus where they could find the kingdom of God, Jesus replied to Him,"the kingdom of God is in you." Well, what kingdom thrives in human bodies.? There is away that may seem narrow but it is a path to the greatness of God. The things that the kingdom of God entails on are ,but a light luggage. Even within scripture, Christ said that those who are heavy weighed should come to Him and he will give them rest. That let them take His yoke , for His is lighter and good to bear. It would be obvious for him to help by taking our burden and never giving us any. But we make a trade with Him. He takes ours and we take His. His yoke is light. His yoke is the kingdom your are supposed to carry. You are supposed t...
