Father I need a touch from you
My heart is open to receive from you
Counting Cost
Loss or gain, count your cost
Beyond Mathematics or Accounting, count the cost
It is time to build, count the cost
It’s battle time, count your cost
Before spewing out those words, count the cost
You want to start a relationship, count the cost
You want begin that business, count the cost
Save yourself from shame by; counting cost
Emerge successful by counting cost
Love will cost you
Hate will cost you
People will cost you
Life will cost you
Investments will cost you
Even Jesus counted His cost
Begin to count the cost, clarity and proper planning will set in
Count your cost today
(Luke 14:25-34)

Plus And Minus of Moving Houses
There are many we take for granted in our lives and one of such things I have come to appreciate is the blessing of having shelter; a place to sleep after a day’s hustle. I understand better now that when God says I will bring you to a large and spacious place ( Ps 18:19, 118:5) and also that the lines are fallen unto pleasant places ( Ps 16:6) it was because, He knows that space is vital to our living the abundant life.
This morning I lay on my bed after moving our things into a new flat and looking back on my housing journey since I came to this Country ( it has been a whole novel), it has been God’s had all the way. One thing I noticed is no matter what the pluses might be to a new place , somehow, there are always some off keys either in the apartment or it’s surrounded amidst the beauty. The secret is to find peace and turn off the light no the none pleasantries. God has been faithful and I am grateful even though I dislike moving and the adjustments that come with it
Now my plus and minus of moving houses
- There is the joy of exploring a new place or clean flat opposed by the stress of cleaning out litters from previous occupant and anointing the place afresh to make it ready to use.
- There is the joy of meeting new people and possibly making amazing new friends opposed by the challenge of stepping on toes and getting use to habits of flat mates that might frustrate you
- There is joy in knowing that you are making progress in changing to a better place and having your own space opposed by starting anew to locate bus stops and groceries.
- There is the joy of having new furniture as opposed by the unplanned need to declutter .
In it, I have learnt to appreciate God for the strength to move as I know no experience is ever wasted in HIM.
Have you had to move or relocate? Kindly share your experience
We Can Be Again
We went from being friends to bring foes
we went from talking always to not talking at all
We went from holding hands to holding grudges
We went from laughing together to lying about ourselves
We went from celebrating to being envious
How did we get here?
How did we let all these vices in?
How did we get to this traveled road?
Who let us down this path of destruction?
No one…. but us
We let our hearts unguarded
We ignored the place of diligence
We can be better
We can be us again
Our strength is within us
We have power to do good
We can be us again
Advice: People
We are not our own and people may never see God physically but they either see or un-see him through the way we lead our lives and act.
Be blessed as you walk in this conciousness
Thinking Our Actions Through
HMMMM
We need to think our actions through even by a muttering prayer no matter how goodly and innocent it may seem.
Hezekiah showed his house to well wishers after his recovery and what came after was a captivity note.( 2 Kings 20:13-18).
It is wisdom to be secretive sometimes. Do you agree?
