SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: Love preserves itself.

Many times, we do silly and careless things under the guise of "it's my life after all"

It's not your life alone if you've submitted to God.
It's not just your life when you've chosen to be in relationship with others.

It's not just your life when you have children.
It's not just your life when your friends are true come hell or high water.
It's not!

Every decision you take affects their lives too.

If I eat every sweet thing and don't take care of my health, these people are OBLIGATED...

to take care of me. It is unfair to them that I'm irresponsible with my health. It is absolutely unfair that I blame them for not taking care of me when even I don't take care of myself.

Let's get romantic
If you have committed to be with someone romantically and they

Keep squandering money, how does it make you feel?

God can't satisfy your partner without you!

Your partner can cast out spirits out there and change the world but if you decide to frustrate them sexually, emotionally, financially, or otherwise, you'd do better than the devil

Because they love you, they're open to you, vulnerable with you and true with you. So, if God wants to bless them in great measures, God would of necessity use you too.

If you don't take care of your Vagina and it gets infected and you treat that lightly and it aggravates,

You begin to deal with more complex situations like P.I.D and your partner now has to start praying prayers they shouldn't be praying because you were careless. You didn't think of them. If you did, you'd have known that you're depriving them of something.

If you had considered that your lack of sexual knowledge meant your woman was going to be sexually starved, you'd have learned to preserve your relationship.

If you had considered that the harlot is constantly looking for ways to tempt your man, you'd have done better.

If you had considered that your being too busy at work meant your children were left at the mercy of people who could abuse them, you'd have adjusted your work ethics.

The problem is we don't realize how important we are to God and the people who love us. We don't realize

We punish them when we're irresponsible. We don't realize God can't satisfy our partner without us.

You're important in your love stories.

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: abuse has an environment.

Abuse thrives on power and ignorance.

A house help feels incapacitated because he/she thinks of their job and get into the victim mindset and the boss gets into the power role of do it or you lose your job.

#AdultingAndStuff

A child is left at the mercy of an older person and the adult leverages the child's ignorance to finger them or rape them even.

See, this is a power game every time.

Seniority & Superiority is power (factor in African upbringing)
Money is power
Knowledge is power

Being in public and having public approval is a kind of power too.

When we start teaching our children about sex, we emPOWER them.

When we decide to preserve ourselves and get into the superior role in our lives, we get emPOWERED.

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: Your assignment isn't communal

I know you want support 24/7. I want it too. I want to wake up in the morning to encouraging text messages and prayers and surprise massages and food specially made by friends. Mind you, we get these things

But on some days, you'll sound and feel like a crazy person because you actually look like a crazy person. You'll believe things that an average person can't comprehend (mind you they're not average because they're small minded but because they carry a different vision)

You'll set goals that will look crazy. You'll be bent on achieving thing that no one else comprehend.

We applaud Abraham yeah? But imagine Abraham was your son and he's going to a city "the Lord will YET show him"

Abram, you mean God hasn't shown you yet and you're going?

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: You're important in the scheme of things.

I know this sounds cliché but it's got to be true. The bible speaks of an army that neither jostles nor break ranks.

If you've ever walked for pageantry or ran a race on track or even participated

In a march past, see how frustrating it is when your neighbour leaves their lane and bump into you or worse, abandon their duty post to content yours with you? That's how frustrating it is when you abdicate your throne because you think you don't count.

If all you did was shine shields for men at war, you absence would be felt.

That tiny thing you think you bring to the table counts. Anna was an intercessor and she counted. It always counts.
You don't have to be on the stage.

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART - Work is worship.

Years ago, I came into an understanding "every time my heart is in truth, I'm in worship."

This meant I could no longer claim worship only in church or on the altar. This meant worship was no longer a song.

Worship became a life

If I can't minister to others while doing anything, then I must assess that discrepancy.

To stand in this postulation meant I had to ask God

What his will was. Mind you, I was a recovering pornography addict at the time. So, don't think this is some perfect picture.

If you decide to stand in TRUTH (knowing Jesus is truth) everything this becomes worship and not just a pathway to worship.

When I deliver a job, it..

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: it's your decision to pour out.

It's a norm to hear people say "I'll give it back to you" 😂😂😂 that's a terrible place to be; where what comes out of you is dependent on the stability or the insanity of another person.

#Snippetswithministerliza

I know we should let people know what we can't tolerate and to draw boundaries means to speak assertively and that's the problem. We drop assertiveness for aggression and we fight to prove points that are not even points.

If a physically insane person starts chasing your car on your way to work do you drive round to chase them about? You don't because you have a destination and a timeline.

You can't pour out bile because someone gave you bile; you address it and leave the situation.

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: Accountability is adulting

You're an adult and no one is contending it. If you need to reiterate it in every conversation, then you're the one who has an issue.

To absolutely refuse all forms of accountability because you're an adult

Makes me question how much you know about adulthood

Adulthood is strongly dependent on our decision making skills. If I choose have sex at 25 with a 40 year old man, it's MY DECISION. If a 13 year old decides to have sex with the same man, we'll hold him for rape and coercion.

When you then decide to do life alone because you don't want to be accountable, you put yourself in danger.

Your personal decisions are not always correct. The willingness to listen to someone else and judge decisions correctly is adulthood
