Looking 4 Myself - Part 5

THE WAY FORWARD…

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT LEADS YOU TO FINDING THE REAL SELF.

-          You need a personal Encounter with God.
Personal Encounter with God is any situation or any scripture from the bible that gives you a clear understand about who you really are according to God’s plan. This clear understanding is new and fresh. It’s different from what you use to know before the Encounter.

-          You need a personal relationship with God base on your Encounter with him.
This is the platform of you listening and talking or you talking and listening. It’s the platform of you using what you have learnt and understood from your Encounter as a platform for a conversation with God. This is the platform of Matthew 7:7 – 8; a place of you asking, seeking and knocking for God to reveal to you who he has created you to be. This is your right and the Holy Spirit is at your service to see to it that you know and understand whatsoever you ask, seek and knock for in line of your divine purpose.

-          You need to study your bible in line with your Encounter with God.
You must study your bible with the understanding of what you have discovered from your Encounter with God. You study your bible with an aim and a desire to know, and understand who you really are according to God’s plan. You don’t study your bible for God to bless you or for warfare against the devil. No! When you discover your self, and walk in the understanding of your self discovered – the devil will submit and blessings will be running after you. First thing first – FIND YOURSELF. Seek first the kingdom of God (Your purpose) and his righteousness (His principle) and every other thing will be added to you.

-          You need the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is your helper, comforter, tutor… His duty is to lead and teach you all truths relating to your divine purpose here on earth. He is your teammate. You must understand that there is some thing written concerning your life. You had consciously written down the details, specifications and patterns concerning your life (before you were formed into your mother’s womb). Your purpose is not some thing far away you must search. Your purpose is not in any Church or in the hand of any man of God. Your purpose is already in you - you need the Holy Spirit to help you discover that purpose dwelling in you.

-          You need a mentor according to your personal Encounter with God.
You need a mentor that has the Grace of God in line with what God has revealed to you about you. It must be a man or woman of God that will nurture you into maturity according to what God has kept in your life. He is not meant to turn you into who He wants you to become, but he is meant to help you become what God has revealed to you. He or she has limitations. He or she is expected to lord over you or dominate you. A mentor is meant to inspire you into how you can accept responsibility and accountability to God, your self and he or her self.

-          You need teammates or tribe mate

This is the function of like minds of people like you who have understanding about what God is showing you. These are the set of people that think in the same pattern of the revelation God is reveling to you. You need to surround your self with people whose spirit bears witness to the revelation of God’s word in you. You need people around you, who can speak your language (your purpose discovered); People who will always see your purpose discovery and fulfillment as an answer to their own prayer. They are people who can build you according to what God is revealing to you. They are people you can build according to the plan and purpose for their lives. I call them ‘Purpose Mate.’

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 ...

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...

Why Openness About Money Is Key in Dating and Future Marriage

Beloved, money is one of the quiet tests of trust in every relationship. You cannot build a godly relationship on secrecy. Financial honesty is not just about showing your bank balance—it’s about being truthful with your lifestyle, habits, and priorities. The Bible says, “Provide things honest in the sight of all men.” (Romans 12:17). Openness builds trust, while financial silence breeds suspicion. When you are dating, honesty about money helps both of you plan wisely and avoid unrealistic expectations. Talk about how you earn, save, spend, and give. It’s not about impressing one another—it’s about understanding each other’s values. Hiding debts, exaggerating income, or pretending to live a certain way will only cause future pain. “Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.” (Proverbs 28:6). Financial transparency also helps you discern compatibility. If one values stewardship while the other values status, there will be tensi...
