Reference Point!

Hello 🤗

How is the week going? Mine has been going really fine, I finished my first book for the year and I am super excited. I have not even read all I planned to study but this is a win for me, just keep pushing and staying consistent, we will definitely reach the finish line 😊.

Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him. And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
Genesis 6:22, 7:5.

Earlier this year, I started my yearly Bible reading plan and I came across these verses during one of my reading and it struck me. To be reference point in your generation, you have to be completely obedient to God.

Noah, Enoch, David, Ruth, Esther and more were obedient to God. These men and women stood out in their generation because of total obedience to God's instructions. There is a level of obedience that comes with trust, Abraham trusted God and obeyed, so did Enoch, Noah, David and many others.

Do you want to be a reference point in  your generation, the truth is anyone can be a reference point but the question is, do you want to be a reference point according to the world standard or according to God's purpose for your life?

To be a reference point, there is need for total obedience to God, and to be completely obedient you have to absolutely trust God. To be a reference point involves many things but here is one way according to scriptures.

What other criteria do you think is needed to become a reference point in our generation? Send in your answers in the comment.

The Lord teach us how to trust and obey Him in Jesus Name. Amen

IT'S THE FOUNDATION

Hello guys, I feel really excited writing to you once more, it's indeed my pleasure. Stay tuned for more beautiful and inspiring write-ups by me. Enjoy With the recent happenings like the murder of George Flord, the rape and murder of Uwa and the murder of Tina, I have come to realize that the society is in a state of decay, low moral values, hate and many other evil vices. I decided to give all these a thought and I realized that something must have gone wrong in the foundation. According to the Holy Bible ' if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do'. I realized that the whole protest, riot, # tags and more won't really change the root cause of the situation, it might help get justice for the recently murdered people but will it prevent the murder of other people in the nearest future. Recently I watched a video of a little boy and few young ladies dancing, the ladies came so close to the little boy to the extent that there was a very close body contact ...

Unforgiveness!

Happy Thursday Guys 😀 I hope you are seeing how fast January is? for all those giving January 77 days 😂😂. Anyway I feel days are moving fast because of the multiplication of evil, may God help us in Jesus name 🙌. I really don't like movies with sad endings, I always wish I can rewrite the story to end well. Sad movies trouble my mind as funny as that may sound, you may think 🤔 "but it's just a movie". In reality not everyone has a happy ending and I appreciate writers who makes us understand this. Movies like Acrimony and many others including real life experiences has proven that unforgiveness is an attribute that can ruin a person's life. No matter how hurt you are because of the the way you were treated or spoken to, refusing to forgive only makes you more hurt, it doesn't make the situation any better. King Saul was upset and angry with David, he was bitter against David. The amazing thing was it didn't make anything better, the more b...
