Singles

Hi everyone.  How are you today?
I'm doing very okay,ensuring I put up all the posts I have stored up.
I could not exactly find a title for this post but I knew I wanted to share it. So I settled with 'Singles'😁 and I'm hoping you enjoy it. 💜

Apostle Paul was talking about the unbelieving husband/wife and the believing husband or wife. He says and specifically mentions that it wasn’t God speaking but him, that if the unbelieving spouse is willing to remain in with the believing spouse, then so be it. (1Cor.7:12-15)

He makes mention of the married and unmarried and what their life or days is supposed to look like. It was interesting to me the way he spelt things out for singles.

A service to God is how to live out right.

He said
  ‘…the unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit…’

In Romans.12:1-2, he puts it this way ‘I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 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 perfect, will of God.

The way to present your body holy and acceptable unto God is to render a reasonable service unto him. In order words, there’s something about an active service to God that helps an individual stay holy and acceptable unto God. There’s something about an active service that tailors our moves only in the right direction. Truth is, in the middle of a service to God the vices of hell cannot thrive. I choose the word thrive carefully because he'll may rage but in the midst of the right people its easier to prevail. This is what brings victory over sin. You will have the right set of people around. Your heart will be fixed so much on the Fathers’ business that it would be difficult to fall prey for the devil and you’d be able to recognise his pranks when they arise. And truth is, we grow into understanding this, day by day.
So all the single ladies and guys, y’all go do some God stuff..Input your energy into what God would have you do.Wherever you are, find a place to serve God actively, this is how best to be safe in Christ/the will of the Father. And just in case you’ve been doing stuff because you were told to do it for God, I hope you begin to serve God intentionally and be faithful at it. I pray you find the Joy of serving God too.

Have a great week ahead.

Grace.

    Until we have an exclusive experience with Jesus, we can not render a reasonable service. The apostles became fearless when they came to a knowledge of who Jesus really is. Eph 1:17-18, contains a prayer for us. Blessed piece!

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...

#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...

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...
