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.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

HEALING BEFORE DATING

Before you enter a relationship, you must be honest about the condition of your heart. Many singles desire love while carrying wounds they have never confronted. Childhood rejection, abandonment, betrayal, harsh words, broken family experiences, unhealthy relationships and repeated disappointments can shape the way you see yourself and interpret the actions of others. Sometimes what you call love is actually a desire to escape loneliness, insecurity or emotional pain. Yet Scripture reminds you that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Healing must become part of your preparation for healthy love. Unresolved wounds can affect how you communicate, trust, receive affection and respond to conflict. You may become overly suspicious because someone betrayed you before, excessively controlling because you fear abandonment, emotionally distant because vulnerability once hurt you, or desperate for constant reassurance because rejection d...

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 ...
