Life and Consequences

To Everything we do, there is a consequence. We all know that, if you do good you get the reward. The same applies to bad. When you do bad, there is a consequence. Unfortunately, we often mistake it for God purnishing us. The truth is, God does not purnish anyone, rather, there are consequences for every act. Remember in the garden of Eden, God said to Adam and Eve, you may eat of every tree in the garden. But do not eat of this particular tree, cos if you do, you will surely die. That means, there was a standard set in the garden that has in it, a consequence for every act of disobedience. God did not have anything to do with it. Just like He also said in Deteuronomy 30:19: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; He even called Heaven and earth to witness so that, when it happens, He will have a witness.
Jame 1:13-15 also says "Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death".
Because God loves us so much, He still makes room for correction, and when not taken, the next time is pay day. Heed to advice and correction when there's still time. The Bible says, A wise man heeds to correction but it is foolishness to a fool. Don't be a fool but be wise. God bless you.

The Lord is My Shephered.

The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in Yahweh's house forever.

Today is Sunday, let your day count as you live it for the Lord. God bless you.

Personality Opens Doors, But only Character keeps it Open.

A man is made up of different ingredients, and one of these ingredient is character. You know the saying that says " Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are" That is very true. It is a truth that can not be argued. But I would rather say " Show me your character, and I will tell you how far you will go in life". Know this that, personality can open doors, but only character keeps it open. The bible says in Acts 20:32, I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up.... Why is God concern about us being built up? He knows that, personality is not enough to make it in life. It has to be mixed up with character. That's why He also says in Colosians 3:16 that, Let the word of Christ dwell in us richly. This is because, when you have the word of God in you, it helps your character to be right. It teaches you what is right and what is wrong. It is a light that guides you in the dark. Don't let your character be your limitation. Let your true beauty come from the inside. Do not rely on the outward; It fades.

Don't wait but be patient.

Only one set of people make history in life. Those who believe in themselves, and trust in their abilities. If you belief in something, and patient about it, you can work it out. Trust me when I say you can.
Now, waiting and patience are two different things. We most times mistake waiting for patience. Waiting represents stagnance. While patience is holding on. You are patient because there is an expectation. You also patiently walk towards something. Do not wait. Rather, patiently walk towards your goal in life. You know, we misuse this statement that says " A patient Dog, eats the fatest bone" Now, what this means to me is, a dog that patiently stick to its owner, will always eat a fat bone. Not waiting somewhere that there is no bone and hoping. If you've been waiting, I am telling you its time to move and remain focus. Patiently hold on to your dreams. Do not give up. Every invention is a product of patience, and every failure is a result of inpatience. You try something today and because you did not get it right you give up on it. No, that's the life of a failure. Dust yourself and often try again. A little book I read many years back says " you only become a failure the day you stop doing something" If you are thinking about quiting today, think about electricity that you and I enjoy today, and how many times people have to research just to make it happen since the 6th century. It started as a tiny discovery and was nurtured into a reality. Think about the internet, the computer, airplane and so on, then you will know that you haven't even started not to talk about quiting. God bless you as you read and I hope that God will touch someone today to hold on.
