You are not really what I want but I will MANAGE you...
I faced a heartbreak that almost took the best part of me, yes it was bad but I am thankful it happened.(told us this story already) #Thread
Few weeks later, I met this guy and because I was trying to get over the pain I decided to give him a listening ear plus I knew him before then, we got talking since we lived in the same town we decided to meet for a reunion.
I hate going late for meetings so I was early, he came few minutes later, I have not seen him for a longggg time and I expected him to look better lol, leave this gist🤣
Next thing, Unku told me he expected more from me Ah I was confused, he went ahead to say I looked slim blah blah but he can manage, manage who? I told him I cannot be managed, closed the meeting and every single feeling disappeared!
A friend also shared an experience of how the guy she was dating complained bitterly about the size of her hips😂 Hain!! This was how Hanty entered one chance, she started working out seriously to put on hips Edakun I cannot, somebody that you have not married sef😏
Refuse to be managed sis, you are wonderfully and fearfully made!
How can you be complaining about somebody's height, shape of face, size of nose when you know it is not her doing and you want to manage her on top the matter Haba naw🙄 Refused to be managed!
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, if a man loves you he will accept you the way you are! I did not ask you to look unkept or have a bad behavior an expect him to love you like that.
Work on yourself, dress well, be well behaved stop asking people to love you they way you are when you behave badly and dress tataredly.
You don't have to wear designers to look good, you can buy okirika (second hand clothes) wash them and you will still look good!
Build on your confidence sis, this is my point, don't let anyone force you into changing your values or bringing down your standards. Don't bleach your skin because he said he doesn't like you dark, it is not your making. Refuse to be managed!
So many ladies lost their confidence because they let people manage them,they begin to look for ways to please those people in order to keep the relationship or friendship
Dont lose your value for anyone work on becoming a better person and don't let anyone make you feel less!
This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.
We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?
Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.
Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!
If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.
It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".
This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥
Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂
I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.
I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
