Power of Affirmations

When we were little children, we were innocent and believed literally anything was possible. If someone told us that they could hold our hands and take us to London within three minutes, we would believe it. The advice given to many parents for their children is to "catch them young", which means they should make sure to teach or inculcate those values that would be helpful throughout life because at that period, children have the tendency to believe things easily. Growing up, things change because we start to encounter people like our friends, teachers and even the world at large that make us doubt a lot of things and our believe system is modified by outside voices. Some of them might have a very deep effect on us that they pierce our souls and become inner voices, constantly on repeat.

The repercussion is that some of these voices might be negative. Example:
"You are a dullard", may be your lesson teacher said it to you when you failed a math question.
"You are too ugly", maybe someone you liked said it to you
"Is this child a mistake", may be your mum said this to you when you broke a glass cup.
These are just few examples of the many words that you might have heard and may have become part of you.
Now you might be asking, how does all of this relate to affirmation. Affirmation is simply declaring the truth. So through affirmation, you can intentionally choose whatever it is you want to believe about yourself and your world, letting go of the lies. Affirmation becomes even more powerful when it is backed up with the word of God, remember the word of God is the spirit of life. Declaring it with your mouth is a powerful way of practicing affirmation because even the bible says the power of life and death is in the tongue but you have to first believe it is true in your heart.
So like the example above, if you grow up believing you are ugly, you can change that by choosing to believe and declare that "I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)"

2 Corinthians 10:5

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"

Friendships are gifts

Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too. There is a way God brings people into our lives. Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone y ou know is a blessing from God today. You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future would not be by mistake. Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporti...

God type of love

The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love... If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love. In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call thems...

God has been speaking.

There is a song titled Voice of God by Dante bowe. What I love most about the song is it makes me understand that God must not necessarily speak to us in a very complex way like he did to the Father's of faith in the Bible (e g Abraham, Moses etc.), he can talk through the simplest thing. We might be very confused about something and then an idea just comes into our mind and we know immediately that it was God because of the light and peace that comes with the thought. God speaks, the Holy spirit still ministers but if you allow the voice of what the world is saying to be to louder, how are you going to hear him? When I say the voice of the world, I mean the voice of social media, of friends, of foes, and sometimes the negative voice in your head that is too loud. Tune them down, take time of social media, infact take time off listening to sermons, be quiet and still either reading your Bible or basically doing nothing but just listening to God speak through you. You have to get ...
