Happy Sunday!!! 25:08:13

Happy Sunday!! I think we need to stop and think about the reasons why we do what we do when we do them. It is not right to live our lives letting everyone else dictate to us on what to do to make them happy and not God or even ourselves. We need to realize that in other to be a God pleaser we cannot be a self-pleaser or a people pleaser. Everybody wants to have an opinion about what you should do…..I can’t just do what everybody wants me to do and please them because most times I’m not even pleasing God as a result. We need to live a life that is pleasing to God. Healthy people know they have faults and don’t feel like they have them, you don’t have to pretend to be perfect especially when speaking to sick people. Everybody has got stuff wrong with them but nobody wants anybody to know….I believe that we need to not only need to know who we are in Christ, we also need to know our weaknesses and admit them and know that we need eachother in life. We also need to be careful with our hearts and how much expectation we have.If you have got ur expectation in God, even when someone isn’t treating you right, you trust that God will take you out of it and not keep a grudge that could likely take you to hell. Sometimes we expect so much from people and when they let us down as humans we get heartbroken. Im not saying don’t trust anyone but give humans some slack and lay it down to God. When you trust God 100% you won’t have trust issues with humans. No one owes you anything, we are all bound to sin..struggling with the good and the bad….give all your trust to God and He will take care of you. I care most about what God thinks and not what humans think. No matter what you do if someone wants to think bad about you, they will. Cos if it’s not one thing, its another. Cos no matter how good you do there will always be one thing you lack. Why will God leave us with one thing we lack cos He wants us to need eachother. No man is an island and God made us all to help each other. We need to do goodworks with the right motive, we need to do what we do as unto the Lord desiring to please Him and we should not do anything to please people. We need to learn to hear from God for ourselves than always asking people all the time too. Cos not everyone has been gifted to hear from God and definitely not on your behalf.There are so many right things we do for the wrong reasons. For example some of us go to church every Sunday and its not for God. I want to do everything I do in honour of the Lord, eat,drink,go out, sleep, die…everything I do I want to do all I do in honour of the Lord and as my friend I want you to do same too. I belong to God and I’m suppose to live for Him and if what im doing is not to His glory then I rather not do it right? I cannot stress about how important it is to please God and not man….Alot of the times you wont be able to please people and God at the same time, its better for man to be displeased with you than God.Sometimes we do things cos we’re hoping to be well thought of. Even in prayer, some people pray out loud not for God but for people to hear and sometimes God will ask “ child are you talking to me or them” seriously we need to get our motive right and we will live a better life on earth. We need to fight the flesh more than we are fighting now,that is the essense of fasting….less of the flesh and more of the Spirit cos whether we like it or not our flesh is tough and more that 80% of the time we want to do what the flesh wants. It doesn’t make any sense the things we do sometimes just to keep people happy. So we have to think about why we do what we do. Have a blessed week ahead and remember to do all that you do for God.

Happy Sunday!! 4:8:13

Happy Sunday!!Have u ever felt like exploding? You know like those moments when you really put yourself on the line. When you really feel stressed out or pushed beyond your limits and think you might have gone too far or taken on too much. I always hate situations like this and I try to do everything to avoid it.But soon I realized that it helps me grow…being pushed to the wall helps us grow. Its those moments of being uncomfortable and being uneasy that defines us. We all don’t like to be pushed to the wall, we don’t like to get uncomfortable, we don’t like to put ourselves on the line-and yet-it is exactly these things that help us grow, be happy, have purpose and find fulfillment.The only way you can truly be happy,the only way we can truly find fulfillment is to grow because progress is happiness. Its not even about the end goal most of the time, its about making progress towards that goal that makes us come alive.When we look at the things in our life that our heart desires, we tend to choose the seemingly safe route and then justify why we cant have what we want. But really if we could just find the faith to face uncertainty, to step out and try new things and then learn from our mistakes-life would definitely change. I have learnt to embrace challenges as a natural part of life and a required part of living at my highest potential. Now when I am pushed, I don’t stop, I keep going and I know that the pressure being on is a great thing, it means I am putting my life on the line for something I believe in and there is no greater act of faith than really putting yourself out there for those that you believe in.God has never failed me even tho it looks that way attimes, but I know He hasn’t, my faith in Him has kept me going and I am sure without an iota of doubt that I will fulfil purpose on this earth regardless of the setbacks and I want you to feel the same way too. Have a blessed week ahead..Maamamia
