Eternal Recognition!

 Eternal Recognition!

Often times we do things and position ourselves in places that we would be recognized and given much attention. However, higher and eternal recognition only comes from God, and he gives it to them that do his will and work righteousness.

Friend, if you really want to be noticed, recognized and respected, then all you need to do is to seek to please God. For he alone exalts the humble unconditionally in righteousness. And through that, nations are secured. For righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34).

The Lord seeks for people to keep his judgement and do justice, that he may confer eternal recognition unto them. Would you be one?

Of course you should be! For greater satisfaction resides in his eternal recognition than that which you struggle in vain for on earth.

Remember,  the blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). And he who the Lord bless is blessed indeed (Numbers 23:20). Hence, if the favour of the Lord falls on you to be recognized, you will certainly have eternal recognition both in the sight of God and men. 

All that is required, is for you to be true to your devotion to God and to yourself, and you will be eternally recognized no matter your state in life. 

Stay Blessed!

Your True Worship!

 Your True Worship!

Many of us love to worship, but the point is, is our worship true to the object of worship (God)? 

Though worship can be in any form, its truthfulness  and efficacy can only be determined when it pleases the one to whom it is made.

Thus, as a believer, the Lord requires your true worship and nothing less. He requires that you adore him diligently and earnestly. For this enables him to dwell and inhabit in your praise.

Friend, true worship is not about self righteousness (Isaiah 58:1-14). It is all about revealing the nature of God in you by exercising your faith in him. 

Therefore my dear, know this and be conscious to give your Maker your true worship. Desist from every lip service, and serve the Lord your God with a contrite heart in all holiness. For God himself is holy (1 Peter 1:16). 

This is your reasonable act of service (Romans 12:1), don't neglect it.

Stay Blessed!

Reprove The Wrong!

 Reprove The Wrong!

Reproof is one way to ensure righteous living and to enforce truth. Meanwhile, many of us find it so difficult  to reprove wrong doings. Why because, we do not want to be stigmatized nor be seen as been righteous. 

But I tell you the truth, you can not run away from your responsibility. As a child of God, you are to stand for the right and not the wrong. You are to exult good and to reprove the bad. Hence, brace yourself with the truth and act accordingly. 

My Dear, there is no need to be silent when wrong motives are perpetuated. Rise to reprove them, else you will live to face the consequences. 

No one like to be victimized nor stigmatized, but it is more dreadful to keep quiet and allow innocent generations to suffer. Thus, stand for the right and reprove the wrong.

Know that, your actions today, will determine the fate of your generation tomorrow. Don't keep quiet nor stay aloof. Be determined to stand for righteousness and truth. This is your mandate as a child of God. Live it!

Stay Blessed!

Be True To Your Standards!

 Be True To Your Standards!

It is difficult to see anyone living without principles and standards. Even if there is, it may be at the ignorance of that individual. 

The fact that you can state or identify what you like and dislike, even proves certain principles that guide you. Hence, it is prudent for you to stay true and faithful to those principles, for they refine the standards in your life.

Friend, it is very necessary for you to have well-defined principles and standards guiding your life and actions, especially if you are looking forward to have a structured and fruitful life in the near future. For life itself is uncertain in the current chaotic environment (earth).

Meanwhile, as a child of God, your number one standard should be Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:1), for he is the way to life (John 14:6).

There is nothing that you can successfully do nor achieve sustainably without Christ Jesus (the representation of God- John 10:30) being involved. For without him, you can do nothing (John 15:5).

Therefore my dear, allow Christ Jesus to have his full presence as the key standard in your life, and be conscious to remain faithful to him, for it is by so doing that you can be true and faithful to all other standards set for your life.

This is wisdom, don't neglect it!

Stay Blessed!

Are You Well Positioned!

 Are You Well Positioned!

It is good you can be located at a particular place at a particular time, but how sure are you whether where you are is your right place to be? The fact is, are you well positioned for the task ahead?

Have you actually prepared yourself to receive the Lord's blessings and favour in his glory? My dear, if you have not, it is not too late. Repent and realign yourself to the Lord by positioning yourself well.

Set your priorities right, and be intentional with what you do and where you go. For there is no time to delay. Know your environment and be relevant therein. Thus, be keen on making useful the skills and talents you have, for they contribute in determining how well you are positioned and the gains you may sustain to your credit and to the glory of God.

You can not afford to miss the Lord's glory and favour, hence be conscious and position yourself very well to receive the Lord's impartation. It is your inheritance, so don't miss it.

Stay Blessed!

Nurture Your Faith!

 Nurture Your Faith!

It is one thing to have faith, and another to nurture your faith. Everyone has faith no matter how small it is, but not everyone has great faith without nurturing it. Hence, be conscious and diligent to nurture your faith.

For without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). And it is with your faith that you can move mountains and cause a transformation in your life.

Dear friend, as a child of God, it is your faith that determines how sensitive you are to God and the things of God. Therefore, be circumspect and nurture your faith judiciously, that you may be worthy of the Lord's blessings and glory.

Bear this in mind that, by faith, many of our fathers obtained a good report (Hebrews 11:1-10). Thus, if you also want to have a good report both before God and men, just nurture your faith and back it with dedicated works. For faith without works is dead (James 2:12-14).

Therefore, have faith, nurture it and strive to exercise it, that you may be worthy of your status as a child of God.

Stay Blessed!

He Is Still Your Refuge!

 He Is Still Your Refuge!

It gets to a point in life that you feel drained and helpless. Many things run through your mind or come to you that you wish to run away from them, not even knowing where to go. Don't be perturbed!

This is common to all, but I want to assure you that God is still your refuge.

There is no better place to seek refuge than in God, through Christ Jesus alone (John 14:6). For in him our hope is found, and our faith established towards sustainable living.

Friend, it doesn't matter the struggles you go through, nor the threats the enemy poses at you, the Lord is still your refuge, and he will deliver you.

For his promises are true and ever fulfilling. His word never goes out and come back void until it is accomplished (Isaiah 55:11). Hence, if the Lord has promised you security, he surely will provide for you.

Bear this in mind that, as far as the earth and its fullness thereof is the Lord's (Psalm 24:1-10), nothing can harm you if you are in the Lord (you are for him).

For he takes charge over you and all that concerns you, because of his covenant with them that love him (Matthew 6:33).

Therefore my dear, be sober and delight yourself in the Lord, that he may desire in the affairs of your life (Psalm 37:4). For in his refuge you are safe and will be saved forever. Therefore, cling to him the more!

Stay Blessed!

Be Determined To Uphold Your Inheritance!

 Be Determined To Uphold Your Inheritance!

We have been privileged enough to enjoy the grace of God which lingers into our inheritance of righteousness and peace through Christ Jesus. Thus, a great responsibility lies on us to uphold this inheritance with all determination and focus. 

For we are saved to be followers of God, diligent and steadfast in our walk with him (1 Timothy 4:12). Not emulating the deceitful dictates of the world, but imbibing and leaving the word of God.

Therefore my dear, rend yourself off anything that draws you away from upholding your inheritance in Christ Jesus, and be determined to constantly walk in the will and ways of the Lord. 

For it is in doing so that you will fully acknowledge the potency of the inheritance you have been given. Be careful never to trade your inheritance for mere chaff. Always apply wisdom!

Stay Blessed!

Ephesians 5:1-16, Romans 8:17, Ephesians 1:11, Galatians 3:29, Colossians 3:23-24.

Dare To Be Different!

 Dare To Be Different!

It is very easy to be influenced by the circumstances around you, and more likely to be conformed to certain standards of the world if care is not taken. But hey my dear, dare to be different. For you are not to conform to the things of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind... (Romans 12:2).

It is ok to be among people and relate accordingly as human, but it is never prudent to be just like them, dare to be different. 

Remember, the beauty of every human relation is proudly revealed in the serenity of its diversity. Thus, you disagree to agree in order to make formidable decisions, which help to structure the relationship and make it stand the test of time.  Hence, make conscious effort to be different. 

Meanwhile, in your quest to be different, be wise and vigilant, not to create any negative perception nor be a channel of destruction. Be real, and allow the genuity in you have its course.

Remember, you are where you are, and among the kind of people around you for a reason. And that reason is to fulfill the purpose and will of God.

Thus, be circumspect and rally around your relevance in that stead. Do not be quick to conform nor have a groupthink attitude, let the uniqueness in you be evident. This will enrich your wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around you. 

Reflect on these introspectively, and you will understand the importance better.

Stay Blessed!

Romans 12:6-8, 1 Peter 4:10-11, Ephesians 2:10, 1 Peter 2:9, Proverbs 1:15, Psalm 1:1-6, Proverbs 4:14-15, Philippians 4:13.
