Thank you! Have you said it today?

-


Hmmm, if you have, i'm really happy you did! If you haven't, please do! This phrase, THANK YOU, is so simple and yet so important. 

 I've been thinking lately of living a life that is always grateful no matter what is not working. I observed that in the busyness of life and in the multitude of our endless demands, we often lose sight of the good things in our lives that is working. This is down to the little things like, being alive! Oh let me pause here for a second.
Do you know what that really means? Being alive is the first key we need to do or be anything in this side of heaven. Before we get to, oh i want to do bla bla bla or go to ... or get .... we must first be ALIVE because it is only those that are alive that have hopes and aspirations. Wow, this is a No - Brainer but we don't walk in this consciousness. So dear reader, if at the time you're reading this, you're so drowned in your misery, tap your forehead and wake up hun. There's still life within you so there is HOPE! Get over it!!!  

 Still in the realm of thanking God for life, do you know that a lot of young people have died this year? So BE THANKFUL!

 What else can we be thankful for? Oh my dear, the list is endless but i'll share this one. During the last Halleluyah Challenge hosted by Nathaniel Bassey on Instagram, there was a day or two (I can't remember for sure) dedicated to Thanksgiving. It was in one of his admonitions that i learnt that we should be thankful for the Nos meaning seemingly negative things that have happened in our lives. He said we should be thankful for the failed job interview, failed relationships, rejection, health issues, enemies, challenges here and there because it will all work together for our good in the end. Life happens and it brings its own surprises to us but we should know that IT IS NEVER A SURPRISE TO GOD. GOD'S GOT YOU BRO/SIS!!! RELAX (You cannot come and kill yourself 😁).

 So take a deep breathe and release all those negative energy you've brought on yourself by yourself. Trust me, you brought it on yourself because you always have a choice on how you'll react to whatever life throws at you. Please let's not be bitter people but happy people and to get to this point, we MUST live a THANKFUL LIFE!!! 

 So are you going to join me on this journey of being thankful everyday? Oh, i forgot to mention that one key that will make living a thankful life easy is by continually praising and worshipping God. This will naturally reset the condition of your heart and help exalt God in your heart so thanksgiving begins to flow out of a heart that has truly magnified God. 

 We can do this! 

 God bless.

      Hi, welcome to 2017! It's our year of walking with the Lord, a year you seek God like never before. I believe it's a year we need to go back to the very basics of quality time of fellowship with God. It's a year to make every effort to draw close to God no matter what you're going through.   There's just one little advice we need to adhere to; pls keep king Jesus in your boat this year. There might be storm and heavy wind but Jesus will calm it all because these elements obey him. It's a pleasure to have you take time out to visit my blog.  In here, you'll read articles that are thought provoking and life changing if you're humble enough to learn. So remember to follow this blog so that you can be notified of any future posts. So sit back and invest in yourself as you browse through these pages! Enjoy!!!

Do men really know what they are getting themselves into when they say they want to get married?

Come on people, let's talk! You know while watching Bisi Olatilo show, I saw people dancing and celebrating as a man and a woman were joined together in holy matrimony! People congratulated them, they both danced and you know during the traditional engagement - they told the man to wave bye bye to all the single ladies! I wish that was easy as it looked!!!! Hmmm! You know from my own experience; if you've ever been privileged to do the traditional engagement you'll discover that everything you do there is symbolical of the virtues you need to embrace in marriage! Think about it! So back to the men - have you discovered that most marriage troubles stem from the man?

What is your identity?

Hello there, this question popped up in my head while I was going through life journey. In this life many things define many people, things like money, family name and inheritance, marital status (does your marriage define you?) becoming a parent (does your children define who you are), the colour of your skin and on and on the list goes. The question is if you're stripped of all of these things, would you still have an identity?
