It's not what you think it is

How many have watched the moon at a certain point and called it a full moon or a half-moon? Have you ever considered if this naming of the moon as a “half-moon” is correct or not? This kind of naming things is an underlying perception of who we are as human beings. This reveals that most of the time we call things by the way we perceive them without deliberate contemplation on the matter at hand. In other words, we sometimes don’t call people by what they really are but by how we perceive them. Before I get to the main point, I would like to suggest to you that it is not a “half-moon” but a half-lit moon.

What precisely am I endeavoring to say with all this? Beloved, my point is, the people will not always call you by what you genuinely are, but they will call you based on their perception of you. In most cases, the names people call you often reveal the unconscious perceptions they have towards you. Think back at the high school. What names did the bullies call you? What nicknames did your friends call you back then? So don’t take it personal when people call you all sorts of names. Don’t take it personal; this is how most humans behave.

The best thing to do just to preserve yourself from the hurt that emanates from bad name labelling is to discover what God calls you. Consider who God says you are than what humans say you are! Go to the word of God and ascertain who you are! Think about what he says you are! Meditate on the names God calls you until you feel confident. With this, you will not be going around trying to stop people from calling you names because what God calls you matters the most. It supersedes the ill-formed names people call you.

Yeah , I Tried...!

So there I was, you know, trying to convince God that I wasn't the right person for his blessing, I didn't deserve his favor and whatever that he thought I could become. I gave him all the reasons why I wasn't the best; I told him about my insecurities, my worst background that I don't even tell other people about. O, did he forget that I messed up where I ran away from? I told him all these to convince him that I was not the right person he can use! Seeing that nothing I said could convince him; I said to him, ok God but at least I'm satisfied with where I am. Everybody is good around me in fact I even have children and they are all happy here! Even though I had graduated with many degrees in Egypt but hey, I couldn't convince God not to bless me. Like Moses, in the above conversation;"How many times do we try and convince God that he cannot use us for great things? How many times do we believe our backgrounds, mistakes and insecurities when they tell us t...

This is another level of life.

When Jane, a twelve year old girl would cry in order for her mother to pay close attention to her; Joane (Jane's mother) would quickly attend to her, pampering and tapping lightly on her back with massaging strokes of her hand. At that young age, Jane enjoyed this experience so much such that it became her normal. However, as she grew older, she noticed that her mother had changed her response towards her. She then realized that she had to do something different in order to regain her mother's attention... One of the obstacle that stands on our way or delays us from getting to another level of life is to try and solve today's problem with yesterday's formula. Just because a certain method worked wonders on yesterday's problem, does not necessarily mean that it can work on today's problem. Joshua understood this very clearly at the face of the raging river Jordan that was at a flooding stage. Instead of using the staff of Moses that parted the red see; Jo...
