I don't know who needs to hear this, but the fact that you don't have a Facebook, Instagram, or a Twitter account with thousands of followers does not mean you are not making impact. Don't pressure yourself to be like others, not everyone will follow the same path.
Don't put pressure on yourself.
We live in a generation that gives a pseudo sense of importance to people just because of the number of followers they have.
Such that, even if they come online to say what is not correct, so far they have that large number of followers, you will see people who will come and worship and even go the extra mile of insulting people for them, these are the times we find ourselves in.
So now, a lot of people are pressured to want to have a page, they are pressured to want to open accounts and amass thousands of followers. Since everyone is having, so why not?
Please, can I tell you what? RELAX. Relax and don't stop building yourself. In years to come, we will know who is really doing the work.
Have you ever thought of this, what if social media decides to shut down today, what happens?
What happens to the followers, likes, and all, what? You see why I say it is a pseudo sense of importance?
Dear child of God, understand the time and season you are in. If you don't have the leading to start a page, or anything at all, please leave it and keep working.
Not everyone will follow the same path, and that's fine.
Do you even know? If some of the most influential persons in the world today shut down their social media accounts and decide to open again tomorrow, do you know they will get thousands of followers again in a breath?
Numbers are good, influence is good. All I'm saying is, don't be pressured into starting or building anything in another person's way, else, you will get tired. Build, learn, grow. Go on your lane and go on your pace.
See what the Preacher says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
May you understand your season and learn to walk in it in Jesus' name. Amin.
I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.
Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?
Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?
Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
