Negative obsession

"I want it and I want it now"

"If I don't have this, I would never be happy"

Have you ever been in a situation where you made the above statements or may be you were not saying them directly but your attitude displayed it. If your answer is yes then I would employ you to continue reading.

There is a thing line between having a healthy desire for something and having an unhealthy desire for it.

I don't know about you but one of the many things that my intuition calls my attention to is when I am beginning to have a very unhealthy obsession for something which is usually rooted in fear and competition. The thing may not necessarily be bad in itself, but whenever I am aware of an extraordinary desperation I have over acquiring something, I no I need to take a step back.

You also have that ability to know when the desires of your heart are pure and when it is becoming extreme.

Be it money, clothes, relationships, grades, food a dream, a goal and even a problem, whatever it may be you need to stop the negative obsession over the Idea of having it or solving it, in the case of problem

Do not let it control your whole life, dictating to you when and when not to be sad and happy, instead put in all the necessary work you have to, pray and trust God to bring it to you.
There is no need to hurt yourself or other people in a process of trying to attain something.

Believe God word that says "I would supply all of your needs according to my riches in glory".
If something has not come to yet, may be it is not the right timing. Continue to position yourself well for whenever it would show up, put your trust in God and put in the work in a balanced and healthy way.

Let me give you a funny, real life example for better understanding

There are times when we are desperately in search of something probably a car key, We searched everywhere for it but we just couldn't find it, yelled at everyone that stood in our way while we were looking for it but that didn't change nothing. We got mad at everyone around but the anger didn't bring whatever it is we were looking for back. However, the moment something else distracted our minds and made us forget about it and we became calm again, then like magic, like it was all planned out, we checked one or two places afterwards and we suddenly found it.

This experience and many other is a reminder that God desires the posture of a calm soul that trusts in him (Pslm 46:10)

WHENEVER YOU OBSESS OVER SOMETHING YOU REPEL IT

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
