Dear Distinguished-- Honour God with your skills


Dear Distinguished, 

He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord's delight is in those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love. 
This is true of our God. He doesn't need you to be God but somehow, He wants you.  Have you ever stopped to wonder how God is so mindful of you? Like whooshhhh! A whole Almighty, All Sovereign, All Sufficient God will rest a little while and want small me? 

Good news!!! The Father, Our Father, seeks for true worshippers to worship Him. Worshippers who'll reverence Him with all their life, time, talents, knowledge and skills. He is not concerned with whether you're a greenhorn or a pro. All He wants is your readiness to honour Him with what He's endowed you with. 

There is nothing wrong with sharpening our skills as it'll bring more fruits. But when we use our gifts with no regard for God, they are indeed worth a little. It is our honour and trust God desires. When He has those, He'll use our gifts and strengths in ways far greater than we can imagine. 

Are you a leader in any capacity? Are you a follower? A contributor to a paper? Do you play a role in running any group or organization? It doesn't matter if it is in the household of faith or in your society, do it as unto God! 
Let your light so shine before men; in your faithfulness with the small big things you're in charge of. 

Selah,
The Distinguished

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
