Grace




We don't deserve it yet he gave it to us.

Our works and labour could never pay the price but he have us for free.

Sometimes we think is our effort, we think we are special and better than others us, we think we are more deserving of it than our neighbour but we forget the place of God's unmerited favour, the power of Grace.

I believe Grace is what God gives that makes what we don't deserve accessible to us.

For example, you have a huge project to embark on, you know it is beyond your power, you lack ideas, funds, and many more for the project. After much struggle, you pray for God's grace and in a crazy way, a way you could never explain, everything start to work out well. Men begin to volunteer to help without you even asking, ideas starts to flood the mind like no man's buisness and then you just smile to your self realizing that by your strength you could actually have done nothing but with God's grace there is always a way in the wilderness.

This is not to encourage laziness in anyway but to let you know that in life you would always be in need of the grace and favour of God. Our strength would not always be enough. What we perceive to be human wisdom might not always come through for us. We need Gods grace in every aspect of our life such as; our careers (like the above example), parenting, relationships and even in our faith.
Yes, we need grace to trust God, we need grace to leave the level of just knowing God's word to actually believing it and living it out.
It is easy to trust God when things are going well but when faced with life storms, it is only the grace of God that can bring us out hale and healthy while still standing strong in faith.
Even the greatest gift of God to man, salvation can only by acquired by GRACE through FAITH. So you see, grace is paramount. It is something you should always pray for.

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt

REJECTION

Rejection is real, it is a deep thing that has eaten into the self esteem of a lot of folks. Although we have different personality types and I have to admit that some people are not moved by Rejection at all but they are some other people who little show of Rejection remains in them and builds up into something that can only be healed by serious therapy sessions of which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Rejection can show up when we get turned down buy our crush after we finally find the courage to ask them out. Fo r the ladies, it might come subtly when the guy you like overlooks you but you see him showing interest to someone else. Rejection can come when you have done every thing possible to fit in with someone/ a group but never felt like you belonged among them. It can come when you think you have finally found a friend that suddenly stops associating with you or a romantic partner who was no longer interested in a relationship with you. Rejection can come when you beli

GOSSIP AND THE CHURCH

Gossiping is not unusual in communities like the market, classroom, salon etc, simply because human beings are the unit of this communities. Something unfortunate happens to a person today and before you know it the whole community is talking about it up to the extent that the person with issue senses that "his or her matter don cast". But can we avoid gossiping in the church as much as possible. The church is supposed to be a safe place where people come to find spiritual healing. It is unfair that some people would cone with  one challenge or the other and the same community of believers that are supposed to help them out would be the same one talking ill about them and destroying their reputation. If your motive is not to help or find solution then there is probably no need for you to share another person's buisness. Y ou might intentionally or unintentionally hear someone issue in your church, whatever the case is, try to keep it to yourself. If you cannot help them
