Love, You



Love is among the greatest commandment in the bible entreats you to have for both humanity and divinity. 


"....Love Your Neighbour as yourself.." Jesus said, explaining this being the second of the great commandments. (Mark 12:31, Matthew 22:39)


The emphasis, as Yourself. Meaning before you can love anyone, you must love yourself first if not, you love in vain. Do not be blinded by the 'norms' of this world, love is reciprocal. Sure it is, to those who can’t define it.


How do you love yourself? How do you appreciate yourself? Is it by priding yourself in your possessions? Or flaunting your wealth? 


No!


Loving yourself, is, you being able to appreciate what you have, be content. It is you taking full responsibility for your actions and not blaming anyone for your mistakes. 


Loving yourself is you acknowledging your weaknesses and accepting them. Loving yourself is you accepting your dirty past, seeing the better person God had made you and living a fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. 


Remember, before you love anyone, first love yourself. What you'll do to make yourself happy, do the same to others. What will make you feel sad, don't inflict it on others?


'...For God so loved the world…' (John 3:16), the word of God says. God didn't wait for the world to love Him back, yet He loved the world. 


You can also love your neighbour with no expectation of them returning your love and God who sees things in secrets will surely Bless you.

Life without happiness is like a tree without leaves. Let's look at how we can be happy without restrictions. Be with those who rebuke you . I know this may sound weird but think about it.

Let Them Say.

The perception, views, and says of your fellow human, doesn't define your true worth.  Don't forget what happened to Samuel when he went anointing David as king. Whiles Samuel was busy looking at appearance and physique. God was patiently looking into their hearts.  The utterances of others shouldn't stop u from achieving your set goals.  Discouraging words shouldn't prevent you from achieving your dream.  Don't let their words rule your life. God has the final say. Hear no man but listen to God all the time.  Let's pray, Father, give me the heart to stand and adhere to you at all times.

The 3 Enemies of Christ

Living your life as a Christian doesn't mean you are on your own. Being under grace doesn't guarantee you access to continue living in sin.  1st Enemy : Anyone whose destiny is destruction.  This may sound ironic, but what it really means is that anyone who ends up living their life just to cause harm. Is an enemy of Christ. This is because it is the devil who came to steal, kill, and destroy. Your purpose for being alive shouldn't limit you to causing harm to people.  2nd Enemy:   Anyone whose god is their stomach.  How can your stomach be your god? Simple, anytime you put your stomach first above all priorities. Even when you're expected to fast, that's where you try remembering a befitting ailment. The little money you get all ends up in your stomach.  3rd Enemy: mindset on only earthly things.  We are living in a generation where your wealth defines your worth. We've forgotten about the existence of God, the Supreme being, and the maker of the un...
