Living The Life

Sometimes our past struggles can weight heavily on our shoulders,holding us back and preventing us from living in the moment and being who we really want to be,never give your past a sense of identity; be a recovery warrior. There's an Arab proverb that states that you should Write the bad things that happen to you in the sand,so that they can be easily erased from your memory .However, most of us engrave the bad things that happen to us in marble,therefore our painful memories remain immortalized in our minds. We walk around with our failures,our mistakes,our disappointments and our hurts from the last shackled around our ankles,weighing us down...By holding on to the past,you won't see the beauty of the present moment and you can't heal and open your heart to joy and happiness. We all have a past and we are all shaped by it,but we are not defined by it nor are we bound to it. We only have the power to define ourselves  we can take charge of our past,our presen...

As much as we don't like to admit it, none of us likes to fall. When we fall, we literally feel down and less of ourselves. Depression sets in and sometimes frustration and when not attended to, may lead to a loss of our sense of self-worth.  The month of July was just like that for me, t'is my birth month and I ought to have been happy with all the joy that comes from ones birthday (you know that feeling), however, something happened that led to another and I completely felt like I had fallen from a sky scrapper, it wasn't a good feeling and it lasted the month, pretty awful uhn! You're right it was. However, what I've learnt from that experience is that, there's a lot more to falling than just falling. It is an opportunity. An opportunity to rise again, above the odds of what brought me down. Now, we fall sometime because of the choices we make or don't make, but when we fall, it is an opportunity to do it right. Instead, we find ourselves m...

In writing my perspective to this topic which my brother, Apostle Faith started,  "The Power of Transformation" And having gone through the intelligent and biblical review of same topic by my other AWESOME (in capitals) brother, El-Seagle; I would love to take us through a short journey. It blesses me so much each time I meditate along this line. It is simple but it births profound realities of transformation in my heart. Let's go on a short tour. Did you know that a caterpillar which has the innate potential to fly will remain grounded or else there's a transformation? Why? The caterpillar only has the potential to fly but will never fly until it gets to the stage of flying. It goes through the process of metamorphosis where it (the caterpillar) gets transformed into a butterfly before it's potential to fly can become practicable in reality. It doesn't matter how much desire, passion or energy it possesses, If the process of metamorphos...

To transform (greek origin: metamorphoo) means to change into another form.  Its synonym is transfigure. Transformation occurs at different levels.  In the biological sciences, there is a concept known as metamorphosis, simply change of states in growth.  Let's pick a butterfly for instance. eggs->larva->chrysalis->adult Noting the fact that there are different experiences peculiar at each stage. At the larva stage all the butterfly does is eat. At adult stage the butterfly not only eats but flies around, pollinates and does every other thing a butterfly can do. Here we'd see that transformation in itself is a 1. Continuous process 2. Timely process The Bible in Romans 12:2 says, "And be not conformed to this WORLD: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God." To break down this passage, Apostle Paul says no one should cling to any phase (egg,  larva,  c...

Hello friends, It's a great week. And I'd like to share on The power of Transformation. It is true that directly or indirectly you become the words you listen to. Words have the power to make or mar. Words have the power to build up as well as the power to pull down. Words contain power or forces that cause what is said to come to actualisation. It is a lie to think that words are empty, or just ordinary. Words are backed up with power. Words defines what words do with power in them depends on the source of the word. Now, The word of God is superior to any other word, coz by His word, all things were formed and made. Everything came to existence by the spoken word of God. This word in our mouths is capable of transformation, transforming everything around us and all of our situation to conform to God's plan for our lives. Jabez came to this understanding, then he muttered life changing words in form of a prayer to God and God answered him 1 Chronicles 4...
