IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE FACTOR

One of things we fail miserably to do in this life is take care of ourselves. We tend to at times extend our boundaries to accommodate the the things of the world for invalid reasons like wanting to have fun.

One of the famous statements you will hear is this one here,"Every one is doing, so why not? Why can't I?"

If you know that you are a child of the King and that is the kind of mentality that you have, I have three statements for you...

GROW UP!
SHAPE UP!
STYLE UP!

You are not everyone. You are the child of a king, the child of THE KING, JESUS.
So just in case you thought you were on the road to good living and enjoyment of your youth or your life,

STOP RIGHT THERE!!!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD.

A small not is here to remind you just what you ought to do and how you out to do it...
Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."

Verse 24...
Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR MOUTH!

Verse 25...
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your eyes directly before you.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR EYES,WHAT YOU WATCH!

Verse 26
Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD WHERE YOU WALK AND WHO YOU ARE GOING WITH!

VERSE 27....DO NOT SWERVE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT; KEEP YOUR FOOT FROM EVIL.

Save your self some of the trouble that many are going through as a result of not taking care of themselves.

It's all about this one factor......

GUARD! GUARD! GUARD!

THE WHISPERS BEFORE THE SHOUT

Hey you! 😃 Has anyone checked in on you today? Or better still have YOU checked on you today, or lately? If not, well then this is a reminder to do so; to create time in your schedule to hold your heart, mind, body and soul as an offering to God in prayer and allow it to be searched, comforted, and mended so that you can operate wholly and holy. Quarter one of 2025 is coming to an end; a palpable shift hangs in the air with testimonies within it being starkly different. For some, the journey has been a smooth glide, a serene cruise through calm waters. For others, they are overwhelmed by life having launched into a sprint at the beginning of the year; and now, they are finding themselves breathless amidst a landscape of boundless potential. I discovered something interesting lately; while many of us are knowledgeable of the truth and necessity of slowing down, there is a fear and guilt attached to this God ordained activity called rest. We are afraid to rest because we fear that if we...

FLOW OR FLOAT?

A lesson I am learning, the older I grow, is that with discovery comes revelation, and revelation does not always soothe. I believe in the slow burn of human connection, not the fleeting flicker of a sprint. I take my time, extending the same patience and grace to others that I give myself in my own process of self-discovery. Sometimes, curiosity bubbles up, a genuine thirst to understand. Other times, my emotional and mental reserves are low, and I'm simply present, observing. But…intrigue me. Nudge the edges of my world with a spark of genuine interest, and you might just pique my curiosity. A "Hmmmm…who is this person?" moment might dawn, and the spotlight of my attention will shift your way. As we forge new connections in life, we are met with a mirror—not always a flattering one—that shows us how much we have changed, and perhaps, how much we still wish to. In that reflection, we see the vastness of who we are and the contradictions we carry. Self-awareness has unlo...

SERVING ON EAGLE'S WINGS

It’s funny, how much seems to come to life, when you sit back and observe people and things for a while. You never quite get to witness how life unfolds when you’re busy trying to make major ends meet. It’s understandable though, that’s just how the cookie crumbles these days. The hours of the day are filled with “busy bodies”, clogged minds trying to generate ideas while at the same time create solutions for problems that seem to be cropping up quicker than them. Life is a continuous evolution; not much appears to be the same. Though amidst the unending amendments it causes us to make, I still repeatedly find myself asking these questions, who I’m I? Why I’m I here? Where I’m I going? Sometimes I think I have the answer to these questions, though as life unfolds I then realize, only God has the answers. He will continually remind me who I am in Him. Even then, if I fall prey to trying too hard to be someone else, the reflection I get from His mirror of who I am defies all els...
