#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS WHAT IS YOUR WORD?


Image result for what is the word that God gave to you? scripture images

The last few months of my life have been a little shaky, on so many fronts, and in the midst of it, I’ve been studying the book of Isaiah, discovering words that were made just for me, on days just for me (Smiles)
Some of my favorites are:
Isa 46:4 (TLB)
 I will be your God through all your lifetime, yes, even when your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and be your Savior.
Isa 29:17 (TLB)
Soon-and it will not be very long-the wilderness of Lebanon will be a fruitful field again, a lush and fertile forest.
I’ve come to the conclusion that a Christian who has no scriptural words to tackle situations is like a farmer without a hoe, or worse still a soldier who has a gun which is empty of bullets.
And so, the question this Friday is to the Christian reading this…what is your word?
What has God told you about the situation you’re in?
What is that passage of scripture you’re holding on to?
If you don’t have any, I’d suggest you pray and ask God to show you where ‘it is written concerning you’, and only because that will be your stabilizer, through rough and turbulent times. 
As someone said 'God's plan for your life far exceeds the circumstances of your day'. If one doesn't find out those plans, of course the circumstances of the day might be overwhelming.
Read the words in the picture again (*smiles*smiles*smiles).

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.
