Increase your strength

Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

Isaiah 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

There is no task too hard to achieve, however a task becomes tough when STRENGTH is void. The greater the task, the greater the strength needed. Strength is the ability/capacity for staying-in and surmounting tasks. There are times we all feel we need that extra strength to push on to face challenges. The scriptures above tells what happens when there is no strength and yet how to increase strength. The fact you feel weak doesn't mean you're weak, all you need is to add more strength, accepting you're weak to face a challenge or do a task is a state on its own, and borrowing from Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's words, "until you change a man's thinking, you cannot change his state...", so refuse to accept you're weak even when you feel weak, all you need do is pray the Lord who increases strength, and see yourself strong enough to surmount any task. No challenge is strong enough, only increase your strength. Have a restful weekend ahead.

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...

Priority information

Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
