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 thoughts start invading your mind.


•Headache sets in.


•Worry can cause weight loss. You eat but there is no evidence of it on your body.

Most times, you overeat because of worry. 


•Questions start arising; are you sick, is all well, etc? 


🔹Worrying is bad. 

You are destroying yourself with worry.


Do not let other people on the internet control your life and what you do. 


•Be you.


Jesus asked in Matthew 6:27 "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" 


No!


So, why worry; if you know it won't change anything?

(Speaking to myself too)


Jesus, while in the ship with His disciples in Matthew 8:23-27, the storm raged so much that the disciples feared for their lives.


But Jesus Christ was sleeping. 


He was in a complete state of rest.


No one can convince me He did not know there was a storm raging.


Instead, He slept through it; He was at peace in the midst of it. 


Wow!


I ask again, why worry?💁


Instead, pour out your heart to God in prayer. 


Prayer for me is therapy. 


In that state, I am completely vulnerable to my Father.


Tell Him all your worries and patiently wait with faith. 


Butcher🔪 the fear and worry, then dump it.


He listens.

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 YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking  about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well,  He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy. Many of us are struggling with one secret sin or more. We have tried to quit on our own. Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
