Why worry?

I found myself ranting at my mum the other day because I had an issue I wanted to solve with her at that moment. 

I needed clarity on this issue which made me go to her with such aggression. After shouting for some minutes, she told me to leave her presence in that instance.

I was too sure I was right on this, but I lacked the right approach. So, I took the issue to the Holy Spirit. He told me to take a pause then go back to talk to her after some minutes. He also gave me a clue on how to approach her. 

Not too long, my mum called me on a different matter. I was able to raise the issue, and we solved it so well.

Many times, we, as children of God pull up this same attitude to God. Truly, we may be going through a lot at some point when it then comes to talking with God. Our way and manner of approach to Him may be the hindrance to getting our answers immediately. Sometimes, we think we are talking to God, but what we do, is worry and rant. This makes God's attention shift away at that point.

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God- Philippians 4:6

The verse above gives us the right manner to approach God. 

God knows all of our worries, and He also wants to hear us talk to Him about them. Your shouts, your rants to God show that you may not appreciate Him or give Him the right Honour. 

Nobody appreciates when people shout at them especially when you even need something from them.

David was a man after God's heart because he knew the way to His heart, Praises, Thanksgiving.  Esther offered the king a banquet before she presented her case to the king which helped her get his attention. 

Know what God desires of you to get His full attention. Be intentional about appreciating God before throwing all your "bubbles" on Him, because He knows all you are going through, and He also cares about you. Look back always and live your life with constant praises to God. He appreciates it and will also go an extra length for you.  

He cares about you!

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...
