 Nairaland General › Lift The Limitations On Yourself. by Btruth(op): 5:19am On Mar 13, 2020 |
Lift The Limitations On Yourself Fri, 13 Mar 2020 ‘You shall expand to the right and to the left.’ Isaiah 54:3 NKJV Today God may be saying to you what He said to His people Israel: ‘Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left.’ (Isaiah 54:2–3 NKJV) Most people automatically stay within lines, even if those lines have been arbitrarily drawn or are terribly out of date. Remember, most limitations we face are not imposed on us by others; we place them on ourselves. Lack of creativity often falls into that category. If you want to become more creative, challenge your boundaries. One inventor said, ‘All human development, no matter what form it takes, must be outside the rules; otherwise, we would never have anything new.’ When you want something you don’t have, you must be willing to do something you haven’t done yet. You say, ‘But I don’t have his education,’ or ‘I don’t have her talent.’ You don’t need someone else’s talent or education. When God made you, He deposited within you everything required to fulfil your destiny; you just need to unlock it and put it to work. ‘Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness”… Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over… every living thing that moves on earth.”’ (Genesis 1:26–28 NKJV) Note the word ‘likeness’. You’re an image-bearer of God. You have divinely ordained DNA. You’re capable of being creative, so lift the limitations on yourself. |
| Nairaland General › Never Compromise Your Character And Convictions. by Btruth(op): 7:48am On Mar 12, 2020 |
Never Compromise Your Character And Convictions Thu, 12 Mar 2020 ‘Buy the truth, and do not sell it.’ Proverbs 23:23 NKJV In the early 1970s, the Iraqi government arrested a group of American students on trumped-up espionage charges. In order to elicit admissions of guilt, they tortured them. They were told that if they confessed they were spies, they would go free. In other words: ‘Compromise the truth—admit to a lie.’ One by one, as the pressures and the pain mounted, they all confessed to crimes they had not committed—except for one student. The torture intensified and the loneliness of isolation became unbearable, and he came close to breaking. But he didn’t. Finally they announced that they were finished with his case, and that he could simply confess or die. A confession lay before him as they raised a pistol to his head, cocked the hammer and started the countdown. He had heard executions from his cell and knew what his captors were capable of. ‘Sign your name,’ he was told, ‘and you will live,’ but he refused. He closed his eyes, grimaced and prepared to die. They pulled the trigger. When he heard the click, he thought he was dead. The gun, however, had not been loaded. The student was eventually released, but he discovered afterward that every other prisoner who had confessed was hanged in the public square. He was the only survivor. That day he learned a valuable lesson about facing tough times: compromise represents a far greater risk than courage. So the threefold word for you today is: (1) It is always right to do right. (2) It is never wrong to do right. (3) It is never right to do wrong. |
| Nairaland General › Does Your Wife Know You Love Her?(4) by Btruth(op): 6:28pm On Mar 11, 2020 |
Does Your Wife Know You Love Her? (4) Wed, 11 Mar 2020 ‘He loved them to the very end.’ John 13:1 NLT Let’s look again at how Jesus loved His disciples and how you should love your wife. He never stopped loving them. The Bible tells us that Jesus ‘had loved His disciples during His ministry on earth… and now He loved them to the very end.’ Do you remember the marriage vows you took? ‘For better, for worse…for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death us do part’? If the magic has left your marriage and you feel like you’ve fallen out of love with your mate, pray: ‘Father, my love for my spouse is at an all-time low. I know Your Word says unfailing love is patient, kind, humble, not rude, not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs (see 1 Corinthians 13:4–5). I confess that I’ve kept records of offences and had little patience with my mate’s shortcomings. Forgive me for my spiritual immaturity. I ask You to permeate my heart and love my spouse through me. Help me to let go of resentment and make our marriage a model of how You loved the church and gave Yourself for it. Work in us, Lord, both to will and to do Your good pleasure (see Philippians 2:13). Heal and restore our relationship for Your glory. Guide us as we follow the pattern established in Your Word for regenerating and restoring lost love: remembering the things we used to do together, repenting of our failings, and rekindling the fire of love we had in the beginning (see Revelation 2:5). Only You can change a person’s heart, and I submit my heart and emotions to You now. “Turn me, and I will be turned, because You are the Lord my God.” (Jeremiah 31:18 GWT) In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.’ 1 Like |

| Nairaland General › Does Your Wife Know You Love Her? (3) by Btruth(op): 7:06am On Mar 10, 2020 |
Does Your Wife Know You Love Her? (3) Tue, 10 Mar 2020 ‘Rejoice with the wife of your youth.’ Proverbs 5:18 NKJV The Bible says, ‘Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ… loved the church’ (Ephesians 5:25 NKJV), so let’s take another look at how Christ loved the founders of the church, His twelve disciples. He recognised their gifts. He rejoiced in their successes. He supported and encouraged them to grow to their full potential. Are you willing to do that? When you truly love someone, you won’t try to hold them back or seek to control them because of your insecurities. You’ll recognise their gifting, help them become everything God called them to be, release them, and celebrate their successes. And should their light shine brighter than yours, become their biggest cheerleader. If this wasn’t modelled in your family of origin, chances are that you’ll have to work at it. And if you had an unfaithful partner in a previous relationship, you may need to ask God to heal your heart and give you a new level of trust. Building this kind of relationship calls for a level of humility and honesty you’re probably not used to. It may require overcoming your male ego, admitting your fears, and saying to your wife, ‘I love you and I really want to trust you. Will you please help me?’ Until you get through this stage and feel more secure about your relationship, a marriage partner who truly loves you will go the extra mile when it comes to telling you where they’ve been and who they spent time with during the day. The truth is, sometimes you have to fight for your marriage—but it’s worth it, because in the end, you both win! |

Does Your Wife Know You Love Her? (2) Mon, 9 Mar 2020 ‘Be happy with the wife you married.’ Proverbs 5:18 CEV The Bible says, ‘Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.’ (Ephesians 5:25 NKJV) And since the disciples were the original church founders, let’s look again at how Jesus treated them. He spent time with them, talking and listening. Old Testament law required: ‘When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and bring happiness to his wife.’ (Deuteronomy 24:5 NKJV) Imagine, a whole year of doing nothing but loving and getting to know each other! Why did God plan it that way? Because no battle you’ll ever fight, and no business you’ll ever be involved in, is more important than building a lasting relationship with your spouse. A leading cause of divorce today is among couples who don’t set aside time at the end of the workday to sit down together, free from the television and telephone, and share their thoughts and feelings. Do you know what never grows old? Caring, communicating, assuring your spouse that of all the places you could be right now, you’d rather be with them. Many times your wife will share problems with you, but it’s not because she wants you to ‘fix’ them. Truth be told, some of the problems she discussed with you months ago remain unfixed, and she might even be ok with that! What she’s looking for is empathy, understanding, and support. When you listen attentively to her concerns, she feels loved and valued, and nine times out of ten, the problem fades into obscurity. It’s a big return—on a small investment! |

You are still very good. God understands all. When we pray, we prayed with sincerity and opening our minds to God. We all are not the same. Hannah in the Bible prayed quietly and God answered her prayers. So, when we pray, let it be directly to God as if one is speaking one on one with person. Prayer has no rule. Shalom. |

Does Your Wife Know You Love Her? (1) Sun, 8 Mar 2020 ‘Husbands, love your wives.’ Ephesians 5:25 NKJV Why does the Bible say, ‘Husbands, love your wives… as Christ… loved the church and gave Himself for her’? Because your wife needs to know you love her, think about her, include her in your plans, and that you consider her opinions, needs, and desires. And if you don’t tell her, she won’t know it! So let’s look at how Jesus loved the church, which began with twelve disciples who were flawed human beings, and learn how you should love your wife. (1) He loved them unconditionally. Was it always easy? No. But instead of nagging His disciples about what they were or were not, He rejoiced, thinking about what they would become when His grace had worked in their lives. Stop and remember the qualities you saw in your wife that initially attracted you to her. Over the years she may have gained a few kilos, added a few new wrinkles, and sometimes seems to be buried under a mountain of housework. But she’s still the same wonderful person you fell in love with. That’s easy to forget, so you must constantly remind yourself—and her—of it. When roses are exposed to frost, they wither and die, but given the right amount of sunshine and rain—they flourish. Describing an ideal wife, Solomon writes, ‘Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.’ (Proverbs 31:28 NKJV) Why did these children praise their mother? Because they saw their father do it! So if you’ve been too busy, too self-absorbed, or too distracted, change your ways—and tell your wife how much you love her. (And by the way, wives—that principle works both ways!) |

| Nairaland General › Your 'benefits Package' by Btruth(op): 7:18am On Mar 07, 2020 |
Your ‘Benefits Package’ Sat, 7 Mar 2020 ‘You have said, “What’s the use of serving God?”’ Malachi 3:14 NLT In the last book in the Old Testament, Malachi, the Israelites asked, ‘What’s the use of serving God?’ It’s a question non-believers and sometimes even believers ask, particularly when times are hard and our faith is sorely tested. The psalmist gives us the answer: ‘Praise the Lord! For all who fear God and trust in Him are blessed beyond expression… happy is the man who delights in doing His commands. His children shall be honoured everywhere, for good men’s sons have a special heritage. He himself shall be wealthy, and his good deeds will never be forgotten. When darkness overtakes him, light will come bursting in. He is kind and merciful—and all goes well for the generous man who conducts his business fairly. Such a man will not be overthrown by evil circumstances. God’s constant care of him will make a deep impression on all who see it. He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. That is why he is not afraid, but can calmly face his foes. He gives generously to those in need. His deeds will never be forgotten. He shall have influence and honour.’ (Psalm 112:1–9 TLB) Notice that the benefits of serving God include happiness, children you can be proud of, success, influence, and honour. Note in particular the words: ‘He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him.’ These blessings are all part of your ‘benefits package’. |
