DONT GET BITTER, GET BETTER

-
In life's journey, various obstacles are encountered but what makes an individual victorious is the response given to such obstacle. It is either man gives up and gets bitter (depression) or takes up the challenge and get better (accomplishment).

Many people live in bitterness not because they are unfortunate but because they capitalize on complaints without making efforts to find solutions or courage to step out of their comfort zone. Not satisfied with the present state, they result to self pity. This period is sometimes mistaken to be the waiting period but that's not true.

Yes, there is a waiting period for every man but that's not the period for self comparison. It is a period of getting better through prayers and God's word which builds trust and lasting peace as we end the waiting phase. Micah 7:7 says; "Therefore I will look unto the lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation, my God will hear me".

Again, hear this, "Rejoice not against me O mine enemies when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in the dark, the lord shall be a light unto me". Micah 7:8

This reminds me of the birth of a baby giraffe. After birth, mother giraffe continuously kicks baby giraffe sending it flying in the air and tumbling down to the ground until the baby pushes its limbs and for the first time learns to stand on its feet. She does this one more time but the baby recovers quickly and stands up. It is not just a normal tradition but a lesson to baby giraffe and us to never mind how hard we fall but always remember to get up and back on our feet.

Stop the self pity and self development. Stop attacking your past and start to maximize the gift of the present . God is not done with you. As a work in progress, don't be afraid to say yes to Jesus. Let him finish what he started in you.

Stop taking care Start taking charge.

The Fight between Chelsea and Manchester United

It's no news that football or soccer is a universally accepted game that brings people irrespective of their ethnicity together. The passion football lovers exhibit at the sight of the game tell me that, whenever passion is present, anything is possible. Back in my university days, my younger sister who loved football(still does till date) could sacrifice her last penny to go watch football. She is a strong Man Utd fan. Many times, she came back really exited about the outcome, other times so sad that everybody around could just tell that something was wrong. That is passion! There were times when she went as far as watching it on credit, with the intention to pay later. She may even look for who will pay for her. Her love for it was so strong that it got to a point where they allowed her watch for free. The owners of the view center had never seen a girl with so much love and passion for football like her. Chelsea and Manchester Utd are two club that I know have this

LOYALTY TO YOUR SPOUSE

I once read an article that talked about loyalty. So many know what it is but only a few practice it. The hierarchy in marriage is                   God                      ||                 Husband                       ||                     Wife                       ||                  Parents                      ||                  Spiritual Leaders                       ||                   Office boss                       ||                     Others       Note that Loyalty is equal to submission in marriage and its in ALL things.    Note also that the surest way to a man's heart is no more food but loyalty and total submission.             But so many misconstrue this. God placed hierarchy in every sphere of life for the sake of order. Chaos dwells where there is no order. Now someone may ask, how do I balance loyalty to my parents and to my spouse? In my opinion, I still maintain that your spouse has the upper hand. I'm an advocate of respect a

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts This topic is termed very sensitive because it has do to with sex education. A lot of people especially our parents tend to shy away from it. Nevertheless, its importance in our day and can't be over emphasised as we see that most teens fall into error in this regard. Sex is sacred and its exclusively for the married. When anyone engage in it outside the context of marriage is an abominable act. Illicit sex is so prominent in this generation so much so that feelings and appearances lead most people into the act. Yes!its called an act simple because it involves two people performing it. Now,our teens fall prey most times as a result of many factors. It could be as a result of gullibility, lack of self control, inadequate sex education, peer pressure, competition or complex issues etc Whenever this topic poops up, its always easy for most people to point accusing fingers on teens forgetting that they were born into homes.
