drifting thoughts

Drifting thoughts

Everyone must go to bed at this time

With a clear head after a hard day’s work

At least, thanking God for being able to overcome the hassles of the day

And the favours received

Some others would want to purge themselves of unneceassary stress and unpleasant emotions,

Perhaps, an appropriate time to think of the next feat to achieve in life and how to go about it,

So much positive, mind blowing thoughts that creep into our minds,

Amidst them all, there is always room for one drifting thought,

NEGATIVITY, FEAR, INCAPACITATION, BASELESS FANTASIES

“I can do this”, “I can achieve this”, “I believe I am well equipped for this task”,

These words hardly ever come to mind,

Limitations creep in and take hold of all those dreams we thought big

“Are you the first to come to this world”, “Oh, I can’t really do this”,

“I wont be capable”, “John and Thomas tried and they failed, they are wiser than me, so I would fail”

“oh, that girl is too good for me, don’t think am worth her”, “I don’t have what it takes”…

Know ye not that ye are gods and the sons of the most high?,

You can do it, you have all it takes, you are too much and too great for this task,

It is just one of the small tasks you have to perform to cross to the next level,

You deserve to think beyond your horizon, you are made to make a difference with significance.

Oft times, the sinful, pleasurable, baseless thoughts limit our ability for expansion

It should be our utmost cry daily that our hearts be endowed with thoughts that are pure, trustworthy and beautiful,

No one has this ability but you,

You have total control over it because as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he………

temporal pleasure-

Temporal Pleasures 

Why opt for temporal pleasures that could end up in destruction

Can one really carry fire in his bossom and not get burnt? Of couse not.
Have we ever wondered why it is stressed in some scriptures: fornication and adultery?
They are discussed side by side because they almost mean the same thing (Gal 5:19 & Matthew 15:19).

Not only do these two cause distraction in the physical state, they also destroy.
1 Corithians 10:8 warns thus : “neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed and fell in one day, 32, 000”.
Our bodies indeed are a vessel unto honour and a temple of the most high:
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication [adultery]. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour”. 
Once our bodies have been merged with who we are not married to, a bond has been created. Temporal pleasures like sex [and other things that could lead to it] with one who is not your partner creates an interlocking which has its effect in the long run.

Does one deliberately thrust his hands into a frying pan of hot oil?
Not when one is fully awake, then why land into something that can destroy you with both eyes opened.
He has asked us to abstain from every appearance of evil..
I urge you to do same today and if you have been in this
Your time of release is NOW….you wouldn’t miss it
He is a merciful and faithful who hears when his children call and am confident he would hear you today....thanks you G….

What a friend!

Is it possible for anything to separate you from me?
Even when you are aware that I am in the worst trouble with no hope for vindication, would you be far from me?.
Or even when there are others who are ready to love you than me, would you despise me?
Even when I am confused and it seems like all hope is lost, would you be there to comfort me.

Oh! What a friend is he, who is ready to catch me when I fall, who is there to aid me in the midst of my confusion, who despite the many “loves” that seek his attention
Yet he chooses to enjoy my every moment with him.
I love you Lord, words cannot explain how I feel about you,
Your love, your kindness, your mercies, your unconditionality, it makes me wonder and esteem you highly.

Who can compare to you Lord? There is no one on this earth that can match you.
Earthly friends have failed me, but I don’t blame them because I have failed them too.
But your love is supreme, I treasure every moment with you, Lord, I want to stay forever in your presence till my death bed.
Teach me daily to love you more and more.

painful hurts

Painful Hurts
Most times I wonder and ask myself, what is the most painful hurts?
Is it the hurt of putting in and achieving very little?
Is it the hurt of losing a loved one?
Is it the hurt of not proving oneself worthy when a lot of worthiness and respect has been accrued to you?
Is it the hurt of not having one you could talk to when you want to?
Is it the hurt of talking and not being heard?
Is it the hurt of not having what you have always dreamed of?
Or is it the hurt of not believing in yourself and you end up bringing everything to ruins?

Having gone through all these, they could appeal to us as hurts,
But guess what...the most painful hurt is the hurt of loving and not loving in return,
It could tear the soul, wear the spirit and cause depression in the physical state
That is what Christ has had to go through every time we dispel him with our negative actions.
It feels so insane to give up your whole life for someone and in the end you find out that he or she doesn’t treasure this.

His love for us is inexpressible, we could be going through a lot but it is because of his unconditional love and mercies that we are not consumed by it. There is still hope for us.

Lord, I might not have a personal experience of this hurt and may not be able to explain this properly, but I don’t wish to see you hurting because of me.
I know what it feels to think about someone and you are unsure if that person feels about you the same way you do.
I confess my love for you today, open my eyes to see how much you love me…
