ROSES HAVE THORNS TOO

-

Relax, roses have thorns too. The most beautiful flower has thorns too. You want a life so beautiful without any difficulties? You want to get everything in shape without feeling the hammer and chisels of making? There is no construction site that is always beautiful. Young man, don't expect everything to be without some amount of challenges here and there. Some of those challenges may hook you at a spot, some may make you cry. Some may make you wonder if God is ever there for you. The beauty is what attract everyone to you. Most people may not see your thorns. Well, its normal. Roses have such beauty that the thorns may not be seen until it is touched in close distance. People will not see your thorns cos of the beauty you radiates. Paul had some thorns in him despite the great grace on him. His life was full of impact. It was such a beautiful life that everyone will desire. But he had his thorns. It does not change who God is. God's grace is always sufficient for you in your turbulent times. He is always available for you in your thorns and in your beauty. God may take away as you so desired. Some he won't cos they have a purpose in your design. The thorn may humble you. It may remind you of your own weaknesses when dealing with others. It may guide you in your dealings too. Thorns are placed in your  live for certain goals. Don't expect everything to be season of laughter. You may cry sometimes. Don't expect every season to be for harvest. You have season of planting too. Likewise, all  seasons will not be for abundance, some may be seasons of lack. In all the fabric you are made of, rest on God's grace. His grace is his strength in your weakness. His grace is his provision in your lack. His grace is his comfort on your trying times. Just know that roses have thorns too, but in all. God designed it and made it flourish. So, if God does that for leaves that fades and perished, how much more you? Relax in God and enjoy your beauty lazed in thorns under God's abundance grace.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
