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

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

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...
