DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

I was reading through John chapter 2, verses 14 to 16 spoke of Jesus chasing the sellers out of the temple.

Now, I have read and heard this story so many times. But, it ministered to me in a different dimension.

Let's look at this story; asking ourselves this question.

Jesus was known for teaching the people the word but this time He didn't teach. Instead, drove them out. Why?

The Holy Spirit ministered to my spirit saying "they wouldn't have listened". So, Jesus had to do this differently.

Yes!, Jesus would have stood in the temple to teach, admonish that it is not good to turn God's temple into a market place. No one would have listened.

He could have resorted to fasting and prayer; no one could've been moved.

He didn't pat them on the back saying "oh, you've sold long enough in this temple it's time to move"; not even a bird would have flown away.

But, He took a different approach, made a scourge of small cords and drove them all out of the temple. The nonsense ended.

There are situations, people, circumstances in our lives that no longer need 'baby sitting', 'simple humble prayer', 'I can endure, tolerate attitude'.

It now needs an aggressive, 'no more', 'it's time to go'action.

Get aggressive in your prayer, if you are praying.

Take a stand physically and spiritually; demand a change.

Don't sit there throwing a 'pity party for yourself.

Go all out and get your desired turn around.

Enough is enough!.

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person. School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr

THE BEFORE

Anxiety isn't good when you are trying to conceive; first hand experience. And my anxiety wasn't just from me being disturbed about conceiving but from other factors too. Example: questions being asked, flippant comments and direct confrontations, unsolicited advice. You might say, only two years and you were worrying yourself to death. Ha! It's was like twenty two years to me. In the span of two years,a lot happened ...it was well. I was completely worked up. Those that know me in person can testify that I was a slim person but became extremely slim. I became a shadow of myself. I was eating but was not healthy. I was seriously anxious and worried. So much was said to me. Pastor Victor and his wife, Pastor Mary, Aunty Nseabasi Etim , My mum and lots of others were a great source of strength; God bless them for me. I was doing alot of things like taking of Communion daily, anointing my stomach daily and reading the word concerning the situation. One thing was

HOW TO KEEP DESTROYING YOURSELF WITH WORRY AND ALSO OVERCOME.

📍We all worry way too much about so many things. We worry about what everyone else thinks. ▪Are they going to judge me for writing? ▪Are they going to think I am weird for doing this? ▪Is this picture worth sharing? ▪Is my dress beautiful? ▪Do I look fine? We just worry. But when you think about it. Does it matter what everyone thinks? You can only look at their opinions and suggestions, pick what you want, and leave the rest. •What does your God think about you? He has beautiful thoughts for us. •What do you think about yourself? Your friends and family all love you (some do) and the people who get your message will appreciate you. Stop overthinking and worrying about everything. 🔹I used to be this way (working on this). Until I began to make conscious efforts to stop worrying about everything. •It is exhausting •It takes a toll on your health. •Worry causes high blood pressure. •Worrying can make you tired •Worrying can kill you. •Worrying can cause ulcers. •Negative t
