I greet you in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Shalom🙏 . Hope you are well 😊
The reality is that we are not going
to have December part 2 guys, the curtains are wrapping up…It’s December!💃 It has been such an interesting journey. There
are things that I have learnt in the last 11 months, allow me to share them with
you.
It's okay, God has you!
I have come
to realize that everything happens for a reason. God pre-orders my steps, I constantly have
to remind myself in Psalms 139: 16 that there is a book and all my members
were written. Jeremiah 29:11. God has a plan over my life, whether I see it or not,
I simply believe. It's okay if I do not have what I want to have now, it's
okay if people cannot see through my passions and ambitions, it's okay God
has got me. His word upholds me; I will be still and know that He is God. At
one point people will doubt your worth and believe just don’t be that person. You
are your biggest cheerleader and the one in you is greater than the one in the world.
Do not get too attached
Jesus tells
a young man in Luke 19:21 if you want to follow me sell your possessions and
follow me, and he was greatly sorrowed for he had a lot of possessions. I have come
to a point in life where I would rather the blessing of God than the blessing
of man. Proverbs 10:22 “The blessing of God maketh rich and addeth no Sorrow. Sometimes
we get too attached with Me, Mine and Myself. We forget we are simply stewards. There is a kingdom at stake; God wants to
trust us because there are things that need to be accomplished. I keep learning that I
own nothing but I am a steward in God's vineyard. My attitudes have to change to accommodate God’s
agenda, and I have to release myself to hear from God. It has not been easy but,
I have gradually told God to help me release things , to give my time , my
connections , my abilities if it helps add up to someon's purpose .
If it doesn’t challenge me , it cannot change me
I have had
some of the most challenging conversations, situations and so much. My initial response
was always to block things and avoid confronting issues. Lo ! And behold,
the Lord will never test you in the fire if he wasn't there with
you. Things that will question your believes, your mindset, your worth will
come at you and you need to learn that the same fire that consumes also purifies. You
will be surprised at how much strength and ability to persevere God deposits in
you.
The Value of friendship
We all want
loyal friends, friends that back us up to the very last breath but are you that
friend? As I grow older, I have learnt the
need of quality and not quantity. It is not your clique that has your back, it
is that one friend who is honest enough to say “Bro, you have worn that shirt
three times this week , what’s the catch 🙈?“. Sometimes the voice of honesty cracks and
its often shallow but its impact exceeds beyond the echo ''.
Be that
person that someone thinks of when they want to air out, and can speak the
truth even if their voice shakes. It is a learning curve , but it
is meant to refines us to be better people and creditworthy beings.
Jesus at the center
There are
days when I felt out of place, not knowing what to do, mistaken, judged ,even
condemned by self or others. He never forsakes or leaves; he is always there in
the stillness and quietness, Jesus .He is the very essence to my life. I have tried faithing It and faking It but the
former always felt much better. We go through a lot in life but imagine if you
had someone who was constant with you, never judging, listening and loving on you.
That person has, and will always be Jesus. I know the world has a whopped system
of making God look less but I extend my invitation to you to Know Jesus as a friend,
healer, a savior and much more. I do not
pretend to know it all , but what I have I give you … the comfort of a Savior !
.. I have
laughed, cried , been disappointed , uplifted , lost and Found but One thing is
constant The Love of Jesus .
Has it been easy ? No , but I am grateful to have learnt , laughed, loved and lived . Great is thy Faithfulness ....❤️
❤️❤️❤️ Bellz ...👋
