Hi, hi.
So I’ve been doing a little study on the book of 1Corinthians and I thought to share some intriguing lessons.
Apostle Paul here was addressing several questions from the Corinthian church. I like how he differentiated what his spirit, which of course was mature,and what the Spirit of God said.

He said to the unmarried and widows to remain single, however, he acknowledges that its infact a gift to be able to do that. He then advised that its better to get married than to burn with passion.(1Cor.7:7-9)

Apostle Paul clearly states as by the Lord that a wife should not put away her husband, and even if she will, she should stay single. I’m guessing that it was more of a record that women were the ones that left their husbands for one reason or the other.
This is a pointer for we as Christians to make a constant effort to develop ourselves in key areas of our lives. And been intentional about making the necessary adjustments for a healthy life/family.
There’s an obvious high rate of divorce in the society today. Personally,i believe it's largely due to individual lapses in growing or developing ourselves.
I hope that if you are a guy and you are reading this, you will make a strong and courageous effort to build yourself strong enough to also be able to build (your wife and family) the lady God brings your way and the kids you’ll have. I hope that you will not leave your growth to chance and time. I hope that you will take your life and decisions very seriously and know that you are a pillar and to be strong you need to ‘feed’ your mind with the right things.

To every lady reading this, I hope that you will also build yourself. And acknowledge that you are a vital part of the society. I hope you build yourself in every area and be able to stand at per as a pillar formed after the palace and be a supporting pillar in your home, society and world at large when the time is ripe.
It's centrally being the best version of who we are made to be.

From my heart to yours,

Grace

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

FOCUS N or P

I’m sure you are wondering by now, what does focus N or P mean? Yeah,its worth the think. I’m sure you are familiar with the way a camera works, at least to some extent. The android phone/iPhone users can own this complement. You’ld often realize that some pictures don’t come out ‘fine’ or clear because whoever was behind the phone did not focus it right. Having seen the picture, you be like ‘omg this picture is blurry’. How many have friends who take blurry pictures (winks.)- this is by the way.(I do that sometimes). Youl’d realize that one or two taps on your android phone makes the image much clearer. For my photographer folks, a gentle turn of that Nickon D3300’s focus ring  and or zoom ring would give a perfect picture.  Just like a camera can produce both positive and negative images, so also our minds, based on our focus. In Numbers 13:30-31, Caleb and Joshua happen to bring back a good report as compared to the report of the other representati...

#misfit

Attachments area Preview attachment IMG4F8C It was one of those days in September (2015). I had this outfit on to class. I sure did feel good and confident in it :) . I'm getting to class and couple of my group mate are amazed! (that expression between shock and cool). Yeah! I've never really dressed in that kind of style before. .... As I walked down the street,I actually did think about people been surprised at my outfit for the day. But then,I thought,this may not be my conventional style but someone will see me and get very comfortable been his/herself. Why?- someone else can resonate with their style.That alone gave me some more confidence with every step I took. Every other person is classy and elegant but you are bohemian  Every other person is corporate but you are casual Everyone seems to have it all figured out but you are lost. Everyone seems to be short but you are tall Everyone seems to be doing life big but you can't st...
