Turn over a new leaf

 

A lot of times people face a dilemma in their lives where they are stuck in a certain situation or lifestyle in which they want to get out but don’t know how to. Situations where we feel like living a certain way or doing certain things is the only choice we have. This sort of scenario can be seen mostly with addicts. Whatever it is that you are addicted to can become your own self made prison if you make it.

I used to know a guy whose vice was a certain drug and he got so hooked that he felt like he couldn’t do anything unless he took the drug first. The honest truth is, he actually couldn’t because his own mind had become his worst enemy as it was so addicted to that “ higher “ feeling. He wanted to turn his life around and become clean but he didn’t know how to plus he wasn’t sure if God would forgive him.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:27 says “ Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creation. All things have passed away and a new life has begun” This is a very powerful verse because it shows us how our past won’t matter in the eyes of God once we receive Christ into our lives. This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! The key here is having a relationship with God and maintaining it. The only way according to the bible in which we can have that relationship is through Jesus Christ himself. Remember he said “ I am the way the truth and the life, no one goes to the father except through me “ 

So the key to turning over a new leaf in your life, the key to living the best life as a child of God is to receive Christ into your life. The bible tells us exactly how to do that in Romans 10 vs 9.

If you want to receive Jesus Christ into your life and start living the life God called you to live, feel free to get in touch with me and I can help you see the way but only you can take the first step.

Have a blessed week, stay winning, stay shinning and Thank God its Monday

Sweet are the uses of adversity

Image
When things are bad it is human nature to forget that things are going to get good and when things are good it is also human nature to forget that things are most probably going to get bad. I strongly feel that the main cause or one of the main causes of stress and in time depression is not knowing what to do . When things are going really bad I believe not knowing what to do is the main cause of stress. I believe that we have all been through some level of adversity (a very unpleasant situation) and what separates us is how we react and navigate through these adversities. "Sweet are the uses of adversity , which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head " ~ William Shakespeare. To help deal with adverse situations i have compiled a list that will help you cope better with difficult situations :  Learn to take a hit One of the most useful skills you are taught in any combat sport is how to take a blow . The reason why people end up los...

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo...

Value your identity

Image
Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity ...
