THE LUXURY OF KNOWLEDGE EGO

WHEN I SEE MYSELF AS LUXURY OF KNOWLEDGE...
What am I ?

I can do it alone
I can control it
I can handle it alone
I be the master... is what most minds portray.

Most of us or lemme say most people think in the sense that everything we need to make it in life is in us or with persistence, hard work and knowledge within us, we can be great. We believe that our knowledge can make us calm the storms on our way... but wait! where is the place of God in your knowledge... You believe you can do it alone, abi!
See! The moment you believe you can do alone without God means you are foolish(I said foolish abi, that's what the book of Proverbs says). You see, when there self approval or independence of God in your knowledge, you have worn the garment of pride while pride yields foolishness. GOD HAS NEVER CREATED YOU TO BE INDEPENDENT OF HIM.

So, no 🙅 man should see himself as Luxury of Knowledge because it portrays pride and when pride is in the heart of man,it  will despise instructions...Despising godly instruction also yields foolishness. While submission to godly instructions pave way for knowledge. For  the book of Proverbs 12:1 KJV say; Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Also; The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 KJV

Therefore,
A man who see's himself as luxury knowledge has worn pride... and when there is pride...
WHERE IS THE KNOWLEDGE?
So, knowledge with pride standing side by side is foolishness.
Also, WHEN MAN CONSIDER HIS KNOWLEDGE TO BE INDEPENDENT OF GOD. HIS KNOWLEDGE WILL ONLY DRIVE HIM WITHIN A CIRCLE.

#GodIsTheSourceOfGoodKnowledge
Submit your self to the Source of Good Knowledge.
Never see yourself as a luxury of knowledge.

PICK UP

All around me,
On the ground
I find  litters and dirts,
Flowers and dead shrubs,
Stones and treasures.

I pick up litters and dirts
To create a healthy
And condusive environment.
It will be very wise of me,
To pick up my problems,
And praying it off.
Complain is not a clean up.

I pick up flowers and dead shrubs
For beauty and a inviting environment.
Why don't I pick the dead dreams in me.
Remplish them like a dead plant
Reawakening them...
Rather than giving up.

I pick up stones like treasure
To preserve them because
I know treasures are precious.
Some stones like challenges in life,
Could be a blessing in disguise,
Wisdom demands it
That I pray to God to know
The real treasure and blessing.

LESSONS
Life I know is challenging. How do we face it?
Yes, life seems to be  unpleasant and every  steps seems to be against you... What do you pick up?
Do you pick up blames, disappointment  and negatives? Even if you pick them up,  what do you bring out of it?
You complain... 
Why don't you pick them up... see it as if you're doing a clean up in your life.
Mend and beautify the shattered and the ugly part of your life. 
Pick up a reason to be thankful rather than complaining
Pick up your problems and pray it off.  Pick up treasures  in God's words to keep you going  and for self edification.
Remember!
Always have  reasons to be thankful. With this you can move God to turn things around.

UNTIL YOU GET A NEW EYES

Not what I see alone
It what I think about what I see

You opened the window
You saw her passing
She captured your mind
You reasoned and thought beyond boundary
Her posture invites you to lust with her

Setting your eyes level on her
It projected what you saw to memory
Processing and signalling lust to your heart...

An insect view of her
Made you foolish to discover the big evil in her plan...
And you found it difficult to resist

The glowing lips
The body shape
The fronts... The backs...
Kept controlling the lens of your eye
Bringing it to focus on her...

Later... Later... and finally... hmmm
You succumbed
You took another step further...
And...
You defiled yourself...
Oh! She got you...
And you feel empty.

Now you're regretting...
You wish you never did it...
You never realize that what you saw will take farther than what you expect...

The insect view of what you saw took you further to the large view of defilement because you never got a NEW EYES and a NEW HEART.
The natural eyes defines and codes the immoral to the point of lust and driving you to defilement.
But A NEW EYE in Jesus will resist it.

Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden that shall not become manifest."

Once you recognize evil, the consequences of evil will be revealed unto you because you have a NEW EYE... A NEW HEART will tell you to flee and resist.
I pray you'll never be a victim.

IT'S WEIRD

"Passing the OLD YEARS of ODDS into the NEW YEAR... It's weird! "

It's weird to have a old wine in a new bottle...
it's weird for you to live the odd life of the old years in the new year.
it sounds pretty weird of you passing the old years in to the new year.

  when  I say the old years, I mean the odd years,times and period you spend living in ungodliness, unrighteousness,slander,gossip, hatred,slothfulness and other negative behaviors or attitude.
In the old year, there are times you live or portray a life of ungodliness, unrighteousness and sin out of Intension i.e intentionally, accidentally or out of conditions... and it seems weird for you to carry or pass the odd years into the new year.

Now! this is a new year... A new year signifies A New Beginning... and a new beginning should start with you as a new man featuring; A New Life, A New Spirit, A New Character and  A Better Person clothed with righteousness and godliness.

So! my point is this;
The old years  is gone...the OLD years of ODDS is gone, it has passed away:-
-Don't live  the Old years of Odds in the new year..........it weird.
- Don't put the old wine (the old years of odds) in the new bottle (new year)
The old years of odds, ungodliness and unrighteousness should never repeat itself in the new year.

HINT: 2 Corinthians 5:17 says; if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, Behold things are become new.

Lemme conclude on this note:
The new year means the old years are passed away and behold all thing including yourself become new.

THE CHRISTMAS OF THE FOOLS

Wow! A child is born
Let drink, let eat
Let merry, let cheer
We are celebrating
Coz'  a child is born
Where is the child we are celebrating?
The child is not here
The child is somewhere else
The child is no where to be found...
What! What is the cause of celebration when the child is not here,somewhere, nowhere to be found...
This is not celebration, it  is foolishness in guise of celebration... Oh this celebration is meaningless...

    Hmmm!
This is how most people or most of us celebrate Christmas... "We celebrate Christmas without Christ in our heart". Most people celebrate Christmas without the CHRIST factor in it or in our heart. Christmas with the most important element missing - (Christ himself) is meaningless, it is a Christmas of the fools.
  
In conclusion, lemme tell you this:
" A Christmas without Christ in your heart is not Christmas it is Christless "

Summary: Christmas without Christ is a contradiction in terms but the antidote is to hear the Word of the Lord,meditate, ponder
#Meditate #pray #Change #confess #AcceptTheChristFactor #InviteChristIntoYourHeart  and #celebrate #Christmas

SUCCESS

SUCCESS!
what does it mean  to you?
What does it mean to God?

Let's look inward, what do you call success?
To some its when people IDOLise you, to others its when they have all the FAME and the money. The world has even made it easier for you to pursue now a days with all the reality shows and the likes.
Left to me I don't believe a human being should be the judge of if my gift is up to "standard" or not, they didn't put it there, I didn't put it there, God did. And He has His plans for that gift. But a lot of people dictate
to God, make their own plans and then PRAY TO GOD TO LET IT WORK OUT....
It doesn't work that way.
So I say, look inward. Let God direct you the true meaning of success, it is fulfilling the purpose why He created you in the first place not for you to just be popular.

DON'T BE THAT SUSPECT

WHEN YOU  FEEL #SUSPECTED  #BUSTED  #CAUGHT_IN_THE_ACT

That look you look you give when they are  suspecting you...
Maybe you are busted or caught in the act.

The heart of a sinner is never at rest and will always be a suspect of wrong doing.
He continue to run when no one is after him...
Ha! Ha! what cost you to have and maintain "A clean heart and a pure heart ♥" which  is what the Lord expect from you.

You are a SUSPECT of evil doing, not only a suspect you're even a culprit because all evidence have been gathered against you in the book of life.  when you refuse to meet  what He (God)  EXPECTS (that you are living in sin), you are suspect and a culprit... changed before you get handcuffed and jailed in the bondage of hell .
When heart is free of all guilts you are not a suspect of evil doing or action your heart will be  rest assured.
Remember as a man thinketh so is he. What fill your heart determines your look... A look of feeling suspicious or getting caught.  If your heart is full of evil,pretense and deceit you will portray a suspicious look.
