Let them know I got you

I have done a lot of crazy things for love. Not every time, I don't fall in love all the time but when I do..., and some of those crazy things, I never share, they just serve as means to an end, and when the final result is perfect, I act like it was effortless...I smile like it cost me no pain, no stress, I didn't work so hard, I'm just happy to see the outcome and the priceless look on the face of the mortal that inadvertently made me a secret superwoman.

I don't even seek the chance to say "You won't imagine the crazy hell I went through to get this, or the stupid things I did or how I fooled myself to make sure I got out of work to see you or how I had to use my school fees to get on that flight and stuff like that". You all know all the fences you have jumped over and things you have borrowed and the people you have slapped to make someone you love feel great.




Sometimes, when we need to have a good laugh, we may share with our friends, or tell the story using the third person, some of us even call that 'person' my friend or 'one of my friends', smh... Love can bring out the idiot in you.

The annoying part sometimes is when we never shut up. The world knows we have fallen in love, that we met someone, we don't care if anyone gets jealous, very few times, the idea is to make everyone know that you've got something sweet that should be envied, desired, you've found your happiness, your haven in life, a perfect lady or gentleman. Love never shuts up, love doesn't keep quiet. Even though we like our privacy, something inside us wants to explode and say "I've found my happy, love her till death".









We share photos on all the social platforms, tweet about them, take them to almost every gathering, have their photos on our tables. But isn't that part of what love is about?


Should I not be worried if I love someone, or I think I'm in love with someone and he doesn't treat me the way I treat him or plan to, or even half as much, or is ashamed of me?

Shouldn't I panic if other 'seekers' don't know yet that he's got me, and may never know, because he will never tell? Some of my guy friends have whispered to me about how they show-off their special lady but she's never displayed them on any social network or said anything sweet about them anywhere. "I guess she likes to keep her private life private, or she's not sure it will last and can't keep changing photos and names when everyone's watching..." that's often my consolation speech.

Enough about mortals and their conditional love. Some of the people we love with so much excitement are not even so deserving...yet there's someone else we could have spent as much energy on...

This post is about Jesus, He's not man, and I may be wrong to say he feels just as we do when our significant other doesn't carry us with pride, but love is universal, the song of the universe, when love is love, it burns, even when we don't feel like love, if we're still committed, we still do acts of love.

If I love God, and I don't tell the world about Him, I'm not so proud of Him. I could love Him in secret, praise Him in my car, give huge donations in church, fast and pray in secret, but he hasn't become my pride...


He might as well be my ugly maga boyfriend whom I just want to manage because He's rich and He gives me everything I need. He might as well be one guy on the side who thinks he's the one but I'm really looking for something better with which to replace him...


"I don't want to mess my profile up with some Jesus post, I may loose all my friends and followers."

"If I talk about Jesus, I could lose my job, expose myself to persecution and die before my time." But how do you know when it's your time... Sometimes you have to be still to hear your heart beating but Jesus hears it all the time, He knows how many beats you've had and how many more are left... He loves you so much, if you're not proud of Him, it will break His heart like the heart of a poor mother would shatter when she is denied in public by her tear-eye* daughter.

If you are ashamed of Him, He will deny you also before His Father. We are still graced in this part of the country that we can express our religion freely. Go beyond religion...show passion for Christ. You don't need a pulpit, show Him off anyhow.

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes...

Dr. Mike Murdock says "Leave no love unspoken and unused inside you, that too is an emptied life"

I always tell my friends "Why be a small boy's secret, when you can be a real man's pride"... I don't think Jesus wants to be your secret either...

Go tell them about Jesus, do something crazy and smile about it... Tell me how you felt when you're done. *wink*

Say it to yourself

There are so many things in life against us already, don't be against yourself.

Say positive things to your spirit, your soul feeds on it. Your future feeds on it. Imagine that your future was a lovely child with great potentials, or maybe you can't see the potentials yet, would you leave it to die malnourished if it would cost you nothing to feed it?


It wouldn't cost you a dime to say those things you want to see.
Keep working toward the future you pray for, the works of your hands are the seeds that God will bless. His plans are to give you a future and a hope.


Never stop believing in the power of your words.

THE JOY OF CLIMBING

You never really arrive, it's always too early to brag. No matter where you are now, there's somewhere better. God is still preparing you.

Pride goes before destruction (Prov 16:18)

                                 

Recognize also that humility is so delicate that simply admitting that you possess it is a sign of pride. Know that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.(1 Peter 5:5), Scripture also admonishes us to come boldly before God's throne of grace that we may obtain mercy (Heb 4:16) . This boldness isn't referring to arrogance, but confidence in who God is, and in what He can offer.

Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit..."

Remember the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14. Only the tax collector went home justified because he was humble.

God still has so much for you that you haven't seen yet(1 Cor 2:9). We cant afford to be complacent now, for the path of the just is like a shinning light that shinneth brighter and brighter!

Dance your victory dance, share your testimony, praise God ceaslessly, and retain an attitude of reverence, remembering that you got this land by God's right hand and favour...PSALMS 44:3

R.A.C.K Random ACts of Kindness

Following a conversation today with one of the office assistants/cleaners in my place of work, I came to understand that she lost her husband 3months ago.

The point is, we need to understand that we are blessed,  so that we can be a blessing Genesis 12:2

God has put you in the world so you can do His work on earth.  "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth,  as it is in heaven".

If you're too high to descend and reach out to someone who's falling, how are you going to position as God's instrument on earth.

Proverbs 3:27-34 "Do not withhold good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of the thine hand to do it."
There are opportunities all around you to be someone's miracle. You may just be the answer to someone's prayers.

Good night.
