Birthing Your Destiny With Words! Final!!!

Hi guys, I'm so sorry I couldn't bring the final part of this series yesterday. Thank you all for reading and I'm sure that it has blessed you as it has  me.
So today, we'll be concluding this series by relating it to our purpose, vision or revelations as Christians.

Birth Your Destiny With Your Words! 2

Hey guys, how'd the day go?
Yesterday, we started this topic with understanding the efficacy of words and how that God requires us to consistently speak His words because they have the life that our destiny needs.
see here for more

I rounded off with Ezekiel being an example of someone that spoke into reality the revelation given to him by God Himself.
Prophet Ezekiel is very popular with the "dry bones shall rise again" story in the bible. But while a preacher talked about the dry bones in church, something caught my eyes in the course of Ezekiel's dialogue with God. But before the dialogue started, Ezekiel, in chapter 37 vs 1, explicitly said that the spirit of God took him to a valley of dry bones, which signifies lifelessness.

Birth Your Destiny With Your Words! 1

Have  you ever wondered why most motivational speakers emphasize the need to repeat certain phrases like "I am Great"! or "I can  do it"! or "I can excel"! Well, it's because they understand the power of words, or better still they understand the principle behind continuous proclamation and how that when we speak a certain thing continuously, our minds get to absorb it. Then, we believe it, and eventually begin to work towards it.

It won't surprise us as Christians that these principles were taken from the Bible. But the question is how many of us actually use this spiritual principle to better our lives? As sons of the Most High (male and female alike),

One Body, One Spirit, One Hope 2!

Hi everyone! Trust you're all doing great? Remember, where there is a casting down, we say that there is a lifting up for us- Job 22:29 (paraphrased).

Okay, so let's start from where we left off shall we? Great!

One Body, One Spirit, One Hope!

Hello dear readers! It's always a pleasure sharing a reality from the word of God. My earnest prayer is that we live the true life of the word as this is God's intention for every child of His.
Okay, so I thought to share a reality today because some Christians face this challenge at one time or another in our lives, and this causes some level contention in the body of Christ. This contention, in turn, breaks the bond of peace that Apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 4:2-3.

So, today's post was actually inspired by a bible study I had with a dear friend.
Well, we'll be talking about your place in the body of Christ and being contented with what part you belong

Feel Empty After Talking? Stop! 2

The first part of this topic talked about how we should watch our mouths, alongside things that come out of it, and how the Holy Spirit would always nudge us in our spirit when we're about to cross the line. Then that awkward moment comes when we disobey and after having a good laugh for the day, and about to reflect, you feel empty and find it quite difficult to connect with yourself and the Holy Spirit.
I can almost hear someone say 'yes, how did you know that?'  Well, it's because I've been there! I'm human! I've disobeyed, I've talked too much too! And yes! I've blamed it on my temperament! But I wonder why self control is a fruit of the Spirit if we're going to keep giving excuses and blaming our temperament, while we're indirectly saying 'I won't control my mouth!' .

Okay, enough of the blame game.

Feel Empty After Talking? Stop! Part 1

Have you ever had a long talk with someone and felt empty right after that? or had a good laugh over something someone said and felt quite 'off ' afterward? Or you feel a part of you is gone after either or both scenarios?
 Well, the good news is that you're not alone in this ( I, and tons of other Christians feel that way sometimes and we should talk about things like this more often).
The bad news is that 'something' has really left. Remember when the woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus and He said virtue (power)  has left him? Yes. It's the same. Only that the reasons are different.
Another bad news is if we feel like virtue has left us, then

The Christian and Wishful Thinking

Let's begin today's post with a scripture ( The scripture always shows us the way, right? Psalm 119: 105 says so).
Proverbs 24: 27 says

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field: and afterward, build thine house.

When I read this scripture, it was as though I was hit with something harder than a blow. Why? I've always wanted to be like people I admired, but it's either I didn't do what they did to succeed or I lost my identity in the process of trying to be as successful as they are. I've learnt my lessons from both sides though. (Smh)
Truth is, as Christians,

People and Excuses...

Hi guys, it's been a while here and I so miss sharing my thoughts as I get inspired. This post is particularly inspired by a very recent experience with different kinds of people I met ( to think that I just started understanding the meaning of love in 1Cor 13 from verse 5).
 Anyway, I learnt three things about people and three other things about love .
Things I learnt about the people I met.

Dealing with Expectations and Disappointments II.

Hello, it’s another beautiful day on planet earth, and we’re still talking about expectations and disappointments. Some days back, I shared a recent experience I had on this topic and I hope the reality of that story helps us as we deal with this (for story, click here.) The fact that you’re a Christian doesn’t exempt you from these feelings of anger and hurt from disappointments (except we don’t want to be sincere with ourselves; which we often do anyway. For goodness sake, God knows our frame and He remembers that we are dust!).

So, what exactly are we telling God when we get all expectant from fellow humans like us?

Dealing with Expectations and Disappointments 1

Have you ever expected so much from somebody and got your hopes dashed? Well, I have and I have also had to deal with the hurt several times until I learnt a spiritual truth about expectations and disappointments. We’ll be talking about them in a short while, after I share a recent experience I had on this subject. Here goes.

I was invited for an outing by my friend, and her big sis was going to be at the outing, so you could say expectations were quite high on my side.

The Deadly Church Disease: Gossip!!! Part 3

Happy New Month guys! Enjoy fresh Grace.

I’m sorry I couldn’t post anything yesterday, had a filled time at church. I’m sure you did too…

Okay, so we’re back to gossip. In a recap, we’ve identified what gossip is and it’s causes. For more click here and here .Today, we’ll be talking about its effects and how to overcome it.

So, let’s start with its effects.

1.       It sows STRIFE into the hearts of the listeners

The Deadly Church Disease; Gossip!! Part 2

It’s another time with Delonix Cares. I trust we had a good read with yesterday’s post. I enjoin you to be as sincere with yourself as possible (I am too, so you’re not alone in this) as the Holy Spirit in us helps us identify more causes of gossip and teaches us how to tackle it.

Some of us might say that ‘well, I don’t gossip, I just listen to the “gist”, but I don’t make any contribution’. Well, I used to think like that too until

The Deadly Church Disease: Gossip! Part 1

Hi guys! I trust we learnt a lot form the forgiveness series. (I sure did).

 Today, I’d like to talk about a disease that is probably on the verge of destroying the church if we don’t address it- GOSSIP!!!

Many persons are of the opinion that there are two types of gossip. Harmful and non-harmful (let’s be true to ourselves guys, gossip is more often than not, harmful).

Well, let’s see what Webster’s dictionary calls it- 

“Rumour or talk of a personal or sensational nature; someone who habitually spreads sensational or intimate facts”.

With the above, we see that gossips are quite sensitive because they are about people and the things they do (and let’s not forget they’re usually based on groundless rumour. P.S those that gossip are the hardest to please).

Why do we refer to gossip as a “church disease”?

Some Principles Of Forgiveness II

Yesterday we learnt some principles of forgiveness. here. Well, more like clearing misconceptions about forgiveness 

Today, we’ll pick up from where we left off.

Another principle of forgiveness that most people misconstrue is

Some principles of Forgiveness

"'Please forgive him.'

 'There's no way I'm ever going to do that. He's not even repentant of his wrong.''

We see these scenarios playing at one time or another in our lives- when we have to forgive one who as wronged us and its obvious they aren't repentant of their action. Well, I came across an article online and I culled out some principles of forgiveness from it. Let's see if we can take some of them in this post.
