Be sensitive

 John  4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.


The above text is the popular story of  the occurrence between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. So much to draw from this occurrence, but amidst all that can be drawn is the fact that God Almighty was with this woman face to face, and yet she didn't know. This woman had so many questions to ask God, she told Jesus this. John  4:25 "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things."   Amazing! She had questions for God, but she never knew she was talking with God. This still happens to most people, sometimes you get answers to your inner cravings not by what  or how you expect. We must be sensitive to answers to our prayers, sometimes answers may come not by how we expect but another way, we must be flexible in our minds to detect answers not the means by which they come. This woman was quite insensitive in as much as how Jesus gave her details about who was speaking with her, Jesus had to tell  her "...if you know who speaks to you".

  In your business, in as much as you pray for customers and patronizers, you should be sensitive to welcome those who come to you for directions, not every customer comes directly to buy things from you, you could be of help to someone and that same person becomes your biggest customer! Some have lost  potential rich customers all to the fact they never considered such a person worthy of their attention. Be sensitive. God answers prayers, you're to position yourself for the answer(s) by being sensitive. Do have a great weekend ahead

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He ...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa...
