Do you Really Love yourself? Part 1



Mark 12:31
Love your neighbor as yourself.
You are welcome to this seminar and today, we will be looking into a question: Do you really love your self?
 
The Lord has led us so far through the Holy Spirit to help to understand the present truth He has preserved for this generation. Relax, as we journey into the mind of God to discover the present truth (daily bread) he has predestined for us to learn today.
Self love is the greatest of all and if you don’t love yourself, it will be easy for other people to abuse you.

You need to know and understand that God loves you so much, God has accepted you the way you are, God has forgiven you and God values you so much – when this settled in your mind, it will be easy for you to accept yourself, love yourself, forgive your self and value your self.

Its one thing for you to love, care and sacrifice for other people BUT it’s another thing for you to feel loved and cared for. In other words, you must constantly feed your mind on these two revelations; the acknowledgement that God loves you so much and the consciousness that you need to love yourself.

Love is a beautiful being that exist on one single principle which is giving and receiving. You give to receive and you receive to give.

If you are the only person that is investing into your friendship, relationship or business, YOU ARE NOT WISE. If these happen between you and the people around you, call them to order in love. Make them to understand how important and how expectant you are in receiving from them too. It might not be in the same quantity you gave to them or the same object or item you gave to them but they must be ready to contribute back into your life- no matter how small or big; you ought to receive some thing in return. It might be their time, their attention, an SMS, a call, a gift, or advice or support in any Godly form. If they deserve you being there for them, you too deserve to enjoy them being there for you too.

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

Youths and Emotional Boundaries

In today’s culture where emotions often lead and convictions take the backseat, many singles and youths find themselves entangled in relationships that slowly pull them away from God rather than draw them closer. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of romantic attention and companionship, but without clear spiritual boundaries, you may end up sacrificing your devotion, purity, and even your purpose. The truth is, who you allow into your heart can either fan the flame of your love for God or quietly quench it. Not every connection is meant to carry you forward in your spiritual journey. Some are weights, not wings. God has standards—not to restrict us, but to protect us. Maintaining spiritual boundaries means deciding ahead of time that your walk with God will not be compromised for temporary affection or unguided passion. It’s choosing prayer over pressure, purpose over pleasure, and worship over wandering emotions. When you begin to sense that a relationship is making you too ...

Time, Talents, and Treasures: Ticket For True Love

Before stepping into a relationship, it’s important to pause and reflect on what God has already placed in your care—your time, your talents, and your treasures. These three areas shape how you live, love, and lead in purpose. The way you handle them as a single person reveals how prepared you are to love rightly and build a purposeful relationship. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Your single season is not a waiting room; it’s a building ground. How you invest your time now—through prayer, learning, service, and self-growth—determines your readiness for love later. If you waste your time chasing validation or distractions, you may carry emotional emptiness into the next phase of your life. Redeem your time by prioritizing what strengthens your relationship with God and your purpose. Your talents are divine gifts meant to be discovered and developed before you share your life with someone else. Matthew 25:14-30 teaches abo...
