27:5 'TRUE LIES'

So here I am, right under God’s spotlight, with the little courage I have, echoing the very words that David stated in Psalms 139:23-24; Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Let me tell you the truth, to ask God to search you is to bring light into what was once an area covered in darkness. Your behaviors, patterns, lifestyle of fallacies and all your humanity collide with God’s divinity to reset factory settings of God’s original version of you. Did someone ever mention that being bold can be peculiar? Truly speaking, I feel it is. When God is getting ready to make changes in your life, expect Him to go deeper. He does not operate on the surface, but rather starts right at the core coming out. He always wants to do something deeper. To build a formidable exterior so as to harbor inside senseless fear is futile, because God had an original idea of you in mind an

27:1 'UNEARTHED'

The motive behind any kind of establishment is the determinant of its upward thrive or downright downfall. When it comes to human beings, why you choose to embark on a journey of friendship with someone is part of the foundation that can either withstand the tests of time, or like the house built on sand, be washed away by the winds and storms of life. (Matthew 7:26:-27) Friendships are and will always be tested-but what is actually under trial is usually the motive behind the friendship. There is a purpose for everything-including friendship. And until we accept that there is a ‘why’ attached to the ‘what’, we will always classify friendship as a casual part of our everyday life when in real sense, there is a purpose for everyone you meet-whether for a season or for destiny. And so I reiterate what I mentioned earlier in my previous post , that when you walk with God closely, He may reveal to you people with whom you will; 1)         Either grow & keep boundaries

FAULT LINES OF ABUNDANCE

I find some prayers in the Bible to be very risky sometimes. There is a scripture that I have over the months of this year come to make as a personal prayer; “Search me Oh God and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there be any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24) It may be heartfelt when I say it, but some recognizable pride manages to keep me from dethroning myself and having God take center stage of my life. (Grace is sufficient though, says that little voice that attempts to quiet my soul). We have come to understand insecurity as an aspect of life intended to warn us that we are vulnerable to some kind of danger. But there is a kind of insecurity that is internal. We are constantly living in fear of things like failure, rejection, inferiority and lonesomeness. It is a state in which our lack of confidence is looming more than our faith. We always feel “small” and “incapable”. But I guess it all boils down to
