DEVELOPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

DEVELOPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

The key to building a successful friendship or relationship is by spending  time with the person involved.

You need to spend time with God to have a successful relationship with Him.

Spending time with God doesn't necessarily mean BEING ALONE WITH HIM, while this is also important, it is not the only way to spend time with God. It is not in changing what you do that you spend time with God, but in changing the attitude towards what you do. Everything you do can be spending time with God if He is invited to be a part of it and you stay aware of His presence. 

This may sound funny,😂but it's one of the ways I spend time with God doing other tasks. I love cooking(I haven't done that in a while though)😜

Don`t Be Afraid To Fail

Don't Be Afraid To Fail

My dad was just transferred to another state and we had to move with him.

It was the second term of a school session and it was already 5 weeks gone into the term. 

My parents registered me in the secondary school very close to where we lived.

Prior to this time, in my previous school, I had always topped the class. It was no longer news to myself, friends and my parents to learn that I took the first position every term.

In my new school however, we were only 20 persons in my class, about half the size of my previous school. I knew I didn't need to pray for the first position. It was a small school afterall. Examination came and soon, results were out. I was shocked to find 12th as my position. It was unexpected. I had prepared or at least I thought I did.

I got home that day and couldn't go in because I was scared that I failed. It was not until my mom met me outside and brought me in. Though, I was criticized and the whole of that day, I couldn't eat. The coming terms, I prepared even harder and came out better than before. This time around, everyone sang my praise and no one even remembered I had failed the previous term. Soon, it died down and everyone went about their businesses or expected more from me.

THINKING RIGHT

Several months ago, I was swimming in frustration. I was worried about my life and everything around me. Nothing was working. Or at least, none that I could see. I had just completed my National Youth Service and was jobless. I had no money to meet my basic needs. To make matters worse, my boyfriend had just discontinued the relationship with me.

Pain, anger, dejection, frustration, confusion! Name it. I didn't know where my life was headed and I began to fill my mind with vain thoughts. I only thought of how worthless my life was. I felt unloved and even hated my life. The more I thought negative about myself, the more negative my life became.  I lost faith and hope in myself. I got angry at even little things that normally shouldn't make me angry. I shut everyone out of my life and smiled less.

REFOCUSING YOUR MIND: Gateway to easily break free

REFOCUSING YOUR MIND: Gateway to easily break free

Have you ever watched a food advertisement on television and suddenly felt hungry? Have you ever heard someone cough and immediately felt the need to clear your throat? Ever watched someone release a yawn and felt the urge to yawn yourself? ( You may probably be yawning right now!). That is the power of suggestion. The more you think about something, the stronger it takes hold of you. We naturally move towards whatever we focus our attention on.
