Life's Canvas: Brushstrokes of Experience🎨

But...  ‭‭Ecclesiastes 10:1 NLT‬ "As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor." Some time ago, I watched a video about what happens when flies land on your food. It left me feeling irritated, and I couldn't bring myself to watch until the end. As little as a fly is and as insignificant as it may seem, it can cause an expensive and exquisite bottle of perfume to stink thus rendering it useless. Similarly the presence of a but. In today's episode the but is CHARACTER. You see many people are good-looking, intelligent, gifted, talented, the list goes on "but" bankrupt of character.  These qualities and abilities are amazing however many people have had all of these and still failed, why? Bankruptcy of character! In the words of Pastor Prince" The hallmark of greatness is humility and simplicity"   Let's learn from the lives of these people, In the book of Esther, the Bib...

  It's March already?  Happy New Month my love. For many individuals, this time of year can become overwhelming, as they come to realize that time is passing and perhaps they haven't accomplished as much as they had hoped, or they haven't even begun yet. It's okay Take a deep breath, please retain and cherish these key points 1. It's a good time to start. If you constantly observe others, you might feel disheartened, as it seems everyone else is thriving while you're still trying to figure things out. You've done enough thinking and calculations, here's the truth: the maths will never add up. Get up and get to work. ‭‭Prov 6:6-11 MSG‬‬"You lazy fool, look at an ant. Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two. Nobody has to tell it what to do. All summer it stores up food; at harvest it stockpiles provisions. So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing? How long before you get out of bed? A nap here, a nap th...

Glory to God!  A penny for your responses on how your year has been?  I  have been unlearning and re-learning a lot.  I know this year a lot escalated however, please try not to complain about the state of things, why? Because it won't change anything and the more you speak of it the more your subconscious registers it as your reality.  Remember that you're not ordinary, If ordinary people can walk through life every day with little or no challenges, why should you experience difficulty?  You are a mirroring image of God. 1 Pet‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭AMP‬‬ "[ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." You have a lot of potential within you; one step, then the next. You've got this You've tried everything, try Jesus. Return to the Word of Go...

I enjoy the festive spirit of Christmas, with its cheerful atmosphere, giveaways, and carol services. Sharing heartfelt messages and delicious food adds to the joy, and the abundance of love makes the season even more special.   This joy stems from the profound meaning of Christmas—the gift of Jesus Christ to all. As we transition to the new year, drafting resolutions and plans is fantastic, but there are key considerations to keep in mind. Thanksgiving No matter what challenges you faced in the past, if you're able to read this, that alone is a reason to express gratitude. Often, our lack of thankfulness arises from greed, entitlement, or comparing ourselves to others. Note that any elevation comes from God, not solely from your skills or abilities. You're not self-made, and if you didn't receive an answer to a prayer despite asking, how about the many other things God has made possible? Remember, if you won't praise God, even stones will do so.  Praise sur...

Wondering why life seems challenging? It's because you insist on living it on your terms and independently.  You will fail!  Rom 4:20 "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;"  This was Abraham,   To grasp the significance of Romans 4. God had to paint a picture, He supplied the faith Abraham had. Gen 15, God speaking to him said fear not, your reward will be great. Abraham said how am I sure that my servant Eliezer will not be the one to inherit my properties,  ‭‭Gen‭15:4‭-‬5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ "Then the Lord said to him, “No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.”   Then the Lord took Abraham outside and said to him, “ Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!”  In   the very next chapter, he staggered and a whole cursed generation emerged, by one instruction...

"And he said, Come... "  Welcome to the last month of year '23.  Long story, here's a background. After healing the sick and feeding 5000 men besides women and children with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, Jesus then sent His disciples away to go before him and also the multitude. He then goes up into the mountainside to pray alone, till night. Remember that He sent them away earlier so the ship was a considerable distance from the land.  Shortly before dawn, he goes to them casually strolling on water, before he came along, their ship was already experiencing some turbulence being tossed with waves ."When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear."  I'm sure they were confident it was the ghost that was causing them all that trouble, Jesus reassures them it is indeed Him. Peter then goes on to say, Matt 14:28"...Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water...
