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.’

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 ...
