The Container or The Content?

We live in a generation where everybody wants to marry beautiful ladies and
handsome men. Getting married to a beautiful lady or an handsome is not a sin but it shouldn't be the basis for choosing a life partner because facial look or physical appearance cannot hold a marriage together because marriage goes beyond the looks. The Bible says in Proverbs 31vs 30 

“CHARM IS DECEITFUL AND BEAUTY IS PASSING, BUT A
WOMAN WHO PEARS THE LORD, SHE SHALL
BE PRAISED”. 

Beauty fades, so when the beauty fades away, what happens? You are
left with the character which when the container gets damaged, you are left with the content

“who can find a virtuous woman?
For her price is far above rubies”.
Proverbs 31vs10.

He Knows Your Name

Name is an identity or medium of identification. The original purpose of God for man is to have dominion. The only thing that man is using to survive is God i.e. His breadth of life. God made provision for man including everything man needed. We were all in God, so He knows us because He predestined us. There is nothing going on in our life that He knows nothing about.
 

“in him also we have Obtained
an inheritance, Being predestined
According to the purpose
Of him works all things
According to the counsel Of his will”.
Eph. 1vs 11
 

We have been predestined and to be predefined means to be for known, so

Emotional Healing

Don't talk anybody into:
Loving you
Caring for you
Staying with you
Looking after you
Showing affection and compassion for you
Giving you attention.
Let them go, they are just a part of the story. One day, someone who will truly love you for who you are we walk into your life. Some people may love you because of your vision, beauty, character or material things. One thing is certain, one day someone who will love you for whom you are will walk quietly

Lifting Your Spirit

God proves to be good to the man,
who passionately waits,
to the woman who diligently seeks.
when life is heavy and hard to take,
go off by yourself. Enter silence.
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions.
Wait for hope to appear.
Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The worst is never the worst.
Why? Because the master won't ever walk out and fail
to return.
If he works severely, he also walks tenderly
His stockpiles of loyal love are immense

Eschew

Listen thou to the following instructions
Revealed to men through an holy injunctions
Listen now and receive your elevation
 

Listen not and suffer in delusion
Eschew thee moral decadence
Oh! How it stinks!
Eschew thee facial seduction
Oh! How it belittles
Eschew thee racial and ethnic discrimination

GOD'S Time

Eccl 3:10-11

“I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the son's of men to be exercised in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end”.

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. For the purpose of your life to come to pass it will not exceed its time. Everything that will happen to a man will happen according to time. A time to prosper, to rejoice, to shine and manifest. For these to manifest, you need understanding. The bible says wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom; get understanding.
