Don't Brag Yet.


Image result for know your numbers


My first visit to the Ophthalmologist was ____. He simply looked at my dad and said, "How has he been seeing in class? He can hardly see." My dad replied, "How do you mean? He led his class throughout primary school and his results have been great in the secondary school." The doctor smiled and said, "That is a miracle. His pair of glasses will be for reading and walking."

You see, for the doctor who knew my condition, the fact that I was leading my class was no proof that I was seeing well. Results was not same as good health.

Now you know what I am driving at- The fact that you are getting results does not mean you have gotten it right.

Moses struck the rock rather than speak to it- people praised him when they saw the water flowing but God rebuked him.

With God, the end does not justify the means. God is both interested in the process as much as He is in the product.

Leading my class was not conclusive proof that I had good sight- I was just smart! High flight success is not conclusive proof that you are on the right track. The proof is Obedience!

By the way, a friend told me to keep smiling whenever I bump into the devil because it is proof that we are headed in different directions but I should be careful when I do not bump into him because it "could" be proof that we are heading in the same direction.

Stop bragging over your results. Let God conduct His check-up on you.

Can I really do this? Am I good enough? Will this project work out? Can I ever get this job/contract? How would I know the right man?  These and other undisclosed intimate questions have been fighting for a space in my mind lately breeding fear, worry and anxiety. I do understand and believe that I have a father who cares greatly for me. I Peter 5 vs 7 spells it out “ cast all our burdens on him because He cares ” but why do I still worry about life issues? Why do I get depressed when am not going at the pace I planned or getting the desired results? Why does it seem like a dead end sometimes?  It’s simply because I still wear my pride like a badge and cherish it. Pride and Anxiety come in a full package. What’s the correlation between the two words Anxiety and Pride, you may ask? Just look at the two words, what is the letter in the middle of both of them “I”. A symbol of self. The truth is that you are anxious because you bear burdens not meant for you. Phil 4 ...

Before You Date Someone

Image
‘Listen for God’s voice … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’ Proverbs 3:6 Before you date somebody, ask yourself: 1) Am I free to be who I am? Paul writes, ‘Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be’ (Romans 12:6 MSG). If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!
