There Are Days Of Little Beginnings Yet We Will Rise!
#Thread Image
We all have childhood memories and stories, some we may be ashamed to share with people and some other people can learn from!

The days of little beginnings, when growth was gradually and every step was celebrated with love and joy!
Your first step seemed impossible while you were trying to crawl, the standing and falling, wanting to talk, some of us started by calling Mummy! Daddy! Mama! with a very tiny voice😅 and it was celebrated as if you won a lottery!
Then the first few steps, the little milk teeth, struggling to walk at least a little distance, starting school and here we are! ALL GROWN!
Now, your first steps should be how to fulfill purpose and make a living! Who will help you brush your teeth or comb your hair,
pack a lunch bag for you or carry you on the back🙄

My friend, you are a full grown adult! You have so much to achieve, a thousand and one people looking up to you! God is also looking, He wants you to make Him smile.
As a little girl, my parents gave me all I needed, drove me to school with a lunch bag contianing juice and biscuits. Little did I know, you need money to buy things.
I felt it was my right to be comfortable until I became a teenager😅 you will have to accept No sometimes, you may not even get what you expected and if you don't understand you may never be contented!
This is why so many youths go extra mile to get what their parents cannot provide for them, why can't you understand and be patient in the days of LITTLE BEGINNING? You don't need to wear expensive clothes and shoes now, you don't have to buy Gucci now! Wait for better days!
As a young lady striving towards my dreams and visions, I know I have to work, I know I have to study, I have to become responsible and learn to be independent, I need to be contented and stop comparing myself with others who have gone ahead of me.
I need to gain value, read more and also pray more!
No great man/woman became great in a day, no graduate went to school for a day, no one fulfilled purpose in a day! There is always a time for reading, studying, working, failing, rising, learning, unlearning and relearning.
A time of trail, a time they almost gave up, a time they almost lost hope, a time they had no food to eat, no friend to call, no good clothes to wear but the difference between now and then is consistency and perseverance!
What you did in the times of little beginnings should be framed in your heart, those who stood by you shouldn't be despised, how hard you worked can never be forgotten! It will stand as an encouragement and inspiration to others but what if you give up now?
What story will you tell? What story will you tell if you give up in the days of your little beginning, when you have no audience, little capital, few persons asking how much, 5 members in your church and just your family cheering you?
If you give up now, how can you see the glorious future? When your business will become recognized and your ministry global!
Just as every man must go through childhood, every great man through struggle and every graduate through school then you must see the days of little beginning, you will have to work for better days, read for more knowledge and be contented with your stage!
Without contentment you will become pressured, you will work for the wrong reasons and achieve less results!
In the days of little beginning, trust God for the best, rely on His grace, back up your faith with work, nothing will happen if you don't wake up to work towards your dreams! After dreaming, wake up and start working🔥
Relax, be grateful and appreciate the support you get, don't forget those who stood by you when you get to the top and even in your struggles, learn to put GOD FIRST❤

The Best Is Yet To Come!

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 in a godly relationship, tell us something you are grateful for in your partner or relationship. Let's share godly relationship goals.

Mine: We read books together, he basically encourages me because that guy reads😩

Also, I have learnt how to fast, like fast!
...and yes, I am better than I was in all aspects of my life.

There's more! We get our intimacy when we spend time talking about Jesus. Its beautiful😭
No sex! No smooching! No kissing! Just God's presence, two people growing into God's purpose for them.

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.
