Realities and Truth

  BECOMING A BETTER YOU (6) We will be looking at relationship with yourself in this article. The commandment to love your neighbor as yourself speaks volume and that is the basis for this write up. It begins with loving yourself before loving others. For you to love your neighbor, you have to love yourself first. You can only love others as you love yourself. Relationship with yourself determines your relationship with others. It is easy to neglect yourself without realizing it, so we want to shed conscious light on it.  How well do you love yourself?  What values do you possess? Are you completely honest with yourself? Who do you surround yourself with? Who listens and supports your vision or dreams? Do you serve others without serving yourself? Loving yourself entirely and ensuring your needs are met is a spring board to doing the same for others. How you treat yourself is how you will treat others.  Accepting all aspects of yourself completely and treating yourse...

BECOMING A BETTER YOU (5) Two balls were put together, one was inflated and the other was deflated. The deflated ball was thrown up and it came down and remained on the floor. The other ball was thrown up, it came down and bounced up again. It’s a function of what’s inside you. This week we’re looking at building yourself to becoming a better you. Every man is endowed with ability. It can only be activated by you. You are an entity with a distinct identity, be conscious of this. Build yourself intentionally. This is your sole responsibility. Increase your efficiency. Have a plan to improve yourself and bring out the greatness in you. There’s a treasure in you, enhance it and project it. We’re in a season of upgrade. Everything around us is upgrading. Don’t be left out. Upgrade yourself Spiritually, financially, academically/intellectually, relationally and physically. Joseph did not appear before the king in his prison clothes. He had his challenges yet he changed his clothes, dressed ...

  BECOMING A BETTER YOU (4) People’s opinion about you is good and worth looking into. However your opinion about yourself matters. Some times people tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily the truth. If nobody will be honest with you, you can not afford not to be honest with yourself. What do you think about yourself and what are your core values? The way you see yourself helps to boost your self worth. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent, so don’t give your life to others to determine. If you don’t know who you are, people will define you. Jesus knew who He was before He asked His disciples who people thought He was and their own opinion. Once you know who you are, don’t be afraid to give it expression. You don’t need anybody to make you complete. You are complete in Him. You are not a damaged product so you don’t need anybody to fix you. An addict looks for what will fix him when the solution lies in him. You can need help to improve yourself not chang...

BECOMING A BETTER YOU (3) During the past week, we lost a father in the faith in the person of Apostle Alfie Fabe in Cape Town, South Africa. One common thing people talked about him was, he left you better than he met you. A man like David, who took young and hopeless people and invested in them. Today, these men and women are living proofs of his apostolic grace. He always added value everywhere he went. He had a father’s heart and held relationships in high esteem. He loved to connect people. He was never afraid of introducing people to his network.  That brings me to my discussion today. You are blessed to be a blessing. How much of a blessing are you? Not everyone is confident to allow others meet their contacts/network (especially those they consider a blessing to them) or are willing to introduce people to opportunities that will improve them. It’s just a nature in some people not to share what they have. They feel threatened and prefer to hold back. It may be because of pas...
