Breathe Him

“His strength is made perfect in our weakness; 

2 Corin 12:9”

This is one phrase I always felt I understood not until lately, I’ve literally been living it and it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective of its meaning.

Going through my daily life, I usually get faced with seemly overwhelming situations where my strength fails me, and most times the stress from these activities or just an event might ruin the whole day. But lately, at any glimpse of an overwhelming situation or decision, I literally run to God and just throw myself at His Feet; acknowledging I need His help and the honest truth is not once haven’t He come through. It just feels like everything just instantly aligns on its own miraculously.

I’m grateful that I’m getting accustomed to running to Him first before making any decision or just when I feel so overwhelmed. I feel more connected like my steps are ordered; you know that subtle affirmation that no matter what it looks like outwardly, something spectacular is growing within.

Don’t let situations in life weigh you down; no matter how negligible it seems, you don’t have to handle it yourself. The bible says “there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live; Ecc 3:12”. Most times we have this ideology that a decision/situation has to be what we perceive as “big” or a predicament has to be grievous before we can ask God to take control or help us. I was in that category; I saw God as that big High priest I only go-to for the big kinds of stuff, forgetting that He’s also my friend, my brother, He’s actually in me; I am an image-bearer of a mighty God, so yeah I can ask Him something as silly as not making my fart smell in front of people.

Little drops of water, little grains of sand make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land. Take each step with God, each moment with Him. Breathe Him and experience the daily dose of joy that surpasses all understanding

Enjoy your everyday life.

Sincerity

  Some days it's a lot harder to believe that God genuinely loves you. I know it's hard to admit but when your insecurities creep in, it messes with your head, making the daily miracles in your life seem mundane. You then convince yourself that if God had answered your big prayers, these seemingly little ones would have been non-existent. I slept feeling great about myself but I woke up feeling so inadequate. I tried reading scriptures on God’s love for me but I kept seeing God’s love for “us”, “the world”, it was not personalized, I needed something to hold on to. Although I am aware that “us” referred to in the Bible technically means me but I was not having it. My mind was clouded with these thoughts “I just do not care about the world right now; I am not interested in Your love for the world but your love for me! I need You to love me and not the world. Can’t you see I need you?! Focus on me! - I am falling apart”. I have always felt scared admitting in my prayers t...

FAITH

Let’s talk about faith.  I used to believe faith is a feeling (it can be sometimes though), but whenever I don’t feel it, when it’s harder to pray because it feels like God has forgotten me and I don’t feel His presence anymore; I feel pretty much demoralized. Did you notice something in that statement? The word “feel-ing” was reoccurring. The devil creeps into our feelings and manipulates them. As much as all feelings are valid, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they can still be flawed. I’ve read Hebrews 11 several times and it didn’t hit until recently. In verse 11, it says Sarah “considered” Him faithful who had made the promise. She did not care about how she felt regarding the Lord telling her she’ll be a mother after menopause but she held on to that attribute of God; a FAITHFUL God. If you move to verse 19; it says Abraham “reasoned” that God could even raise the dead, the bible never said he felt, because if he was relying on his feelings. Hmmm, if he was relyin...

Tide (Half time)

Some might call it a quarter-life crisis but the truth is this year has not been as rosy as I envisaged, I’ve had so many disappointments. I haven’t actually posted anything this year, not that I haven’t been typing but because I felt I’d be lying to myself pretending all is well and I have my shit together but the truth is I’m exploding inside. Most times I just say “fuck it, I’m done” but I see myself pushing, but It still feels like I’m not doing enough, that there should be something else (big) I should be doing. Well, today is the last day of the first half of the year (30th June), I woke up trying not to feel pity for myself (because it seems like a routine these days), decided to evaluate the last few months of my life (listed the things I am grateful for and things that didn’t seem to make so much sense to me), well I can gladly say things aren’t as bad as my head make it seem.   You know I always say to myself, “you’re kind, always willing to help out and you work so hard ...
