JUST THE WAY GOD WANTS IT

 Have you ever felt like you are not good enough for that area of specialty? Like you do not measure up to the standards that society or even your own family and friends have prescribed? It is easy to fall into this trap of self-doubt and self-criticism, and it may seldomly be difficult to escape from it.


But what if I told you that you do not have to measure up to anyone's standards? That you are perfect just the way God made you? Will this satiate your reasonability? It is true that the society in which we live in have their own standards and may desire certain expectation from us but when God is on our side, those expectations will be whittled down from our thoughts. God created you in His perfection and nothing can outwit his majestic creation lodged in you. He has made you the exact way He wants you to be and by trusting in him dependently, your strengths will obviously be renewed effortlessly as all your weaknesses becomes infinitesimal, a perfection of His glory in your life.


In Psalms  139:14, it is written "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well". God created you with a purpose in mind. He has a plan for your life, and He knows exactly what you need to fulfill that plan. This purpose of his can only be fulfilled if you surrender your life to his LORDSHIP. You may want to understand this as doing everything right just as he dictates. By this I mean believing that God knows what He is doing.


In Jeremiah 29:11, the Holy Bible says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end". So, if you are feeling like you can do better than the expectations of your profession, remember that the image of God can project a better personality in you, exactly the way He wants you to be. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, forged with His agility to make that very thought of Peace of His into an expected end in your life.


Embrace Him as your LORD if you have not done so and watch your strengths bloom at his Bosom while your weaknesses fizzle away. It is indeed a very exhilarating experience, calling upon the name of the LORD JESUS. Be sure to receive forgiveness, when you ask of him. Your sins will be driven into the sea of God's forgetfulness. As you trust that God will use every opportunity you give to him for His glory, be rest assured that your life will never remain the same again. Don't compare yourself to others or try to meet their ungodly expectations. Instead, focus on living out God's plan for your life and being God's best version of yourself that you can ever be.


In the end, it's not about what others think of you or even what you think of yourself but what God thinks about you and his love for you will rekindle every smile along the way.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
