CARING

PERCEPTION :                   CARING Matthew 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. --------------------------------------------    "Looking effortless requires effort". No one will see you better than you see yourself. No person will love you more than you should love yourself. No one will care for you more than you care for yourself. It is you who understands yourself. It is you who knows your deep in's and deep outs.  There is a way we can tend to want help from church leaders because you feel they - with the good eyes will be able to see us better and help us better. Yes they can help . But the one who knows you better is yourself. The better am talking about is as a whole. It is possible someone else sees greatness and talent in you before you realize it. But am talking about your eye and your whole body.  It is easy to think that someone el...

PERCEPTION :                       ADEZE 2 Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. -------------------------------------------- (... Continued ) Adeze decided to burn all her mini dresses and stock in new looking dresses. She even took Ewuka to help her select dresses that would match her taste. She started wearing decently with elegant perfumes and cosmetics. She realized her worth was not in mini dresses and that her perception was totally wrong. She changed her perception. She would go around the village and greet people with a respectful smile and dress code. Elders of the land were highly pleased and Adeze won respect better than she had before. She even got a responsible husband with whom she got twins. They lived happily. Her perception changed. When we see this in our lives, we see a similar pattern. There are things we ...

ADEZE

PERCEPTION :                       ADEZE Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. --------------------------------------------     A long time ago , there lived a maiden in a kingdom of western Africa. Her name was Adeze. She had her friend called Ewuka.  Adeze was good at crafting her style. She wore luxurious clothes and modified African prints. She could wear any type of clothes she wanted as long as she saw them on the street. Even the latest imported fashion pieces, she would crave. But Adeze had one thing. There are times she wore tiny and very short clothes. And whenever she would want to visit Ewuka - her friend, she knew it was chance for her to move the village roads as many men would see her. So she could wear short clothes to attract men's attention on her way to Ewuka's home. She also would use her usu...

ARBITRATOR

PERCEPTION :                   ARBITRATOR Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. --------------------------------------------     It is easy to go about seeing lines of weaknesses in others and trying to conclude on given matters. Even with what they wear and how they look like. We don't mean 'not thinking about them or having an opinion'. Obviously your mind will produce opinions on a given person from looks to dress work. There are people who say to others that they will never make it. They say that they will not manage. Even after opening a small business selling small merchandise, they say to them that they will fail in that. And when they wish to scale and try to share with them their plans to scale the business, they say to them that they cannot manage such platform. Telling a person ...

YOU ARE THE MODEL

PERCEPTION :           YOU ARE THE MODEL Proverbs 14:10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. --------------------------------------------     It is easy to think of others as the ones having the platform to enjoy life to the fullest. And you perceive them as the icons-elect and it has been made to be them to lead. But the challenge is we forget about us and how we also ought to play our game in our style. And that even if we may not become the political elites and ones covering magazines, we still count and can still cause impact.  Thinking that we should all share sorrows everyday is a thing that makes some jealous of the progress of others. So that when you see them smiling and yet you slept hungry yesterday, you feel they are cheating the natural rule of life....they are using a "cheat code". You think they are not bothered about your bitterness. And even when you achieve and need to be happy...

INDIGENOUS LEARNING

PERCEPTION:           INDIGENOUS LEARNING   Proverbs 24:32 I applied my heart to what I observed  and learned a lesson from what I saw: --------------------------------------------     Even where there is trash, a speck worth of use exists. Every day can be a time to see a whole world filled with negativity and faults. And a place where we are screwed to a line of workaholism, monotony can be an irritation and one you hardly pass by. And such a field where you feel you are a nut that after being screwed to a hinge and work and work, you may feel you are nothing and too empty. Everybody can be an irritation as if they all filled your heart to the beam; making your environment feel small. Even the ones you saty with everyday or work with, they can be like food that lost its taste after over eating; and what follows is seeing faults. All that happens can be a big shadow that keeps you from the good Lord and from his great knowledge....

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...

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...

OLDEN STRENGTH

-
OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...
