You Vs. Yourself - Part 4

You can be free from yourself. You can be free from any addiction. You can be free from your fears, worries and doubts. You can be free from that guilt. You can be free from any limitation. Nothing is too big and nothing is too tiny; God is able to help. You can be free from the memories of your past. You can be free from any thing that is holding you bond and God is fully committed to see you experience the freedom.
The only way to defeat your self is when you decide to embrace your personal relationship with God. There is no formula to this; study your bible and pray toward God revealing to you ‘the original you.’ The ‘original you’ is the original plan and purpose of God for creating you. Study your bible and pray to God with the aim of you knowing him more and you knowing who you are in Him. 

This is the kingdom you need to seek for and the bible says, if you seek first the kingdom EVERY OTHER THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU. So stop pursing relationship, wealth and good living. Focus on discovering who God is to you and who you are in Him. That is where victory abounds. 

I want to go a bit deeper in this truth; we have some much trouble we have created for our selves. This problem is some thing is birthed for the things we see as the solution to our problem. We are trying to our own God. We are sitting on the throne of our own lives denying Jesus His Lordship over your life. We have convinced ourselves to believe we can do things with God. We trust in our own ways and we have become wise in our own eyes by denying the wisdom of God’s word. 

Genesis 3:7 reveals the source of our problem. We are creating covering for ourselves. We are created mask for our selves and daily we live in the pain we have created for our selves. We are in prison we have used our own very hands to build. We are slaves of our own circumstances. We are under pressure; trying to impress people and trying to meet up the standard people are setting for us. We are trying our best to fit into other people’s definition of success. We are now the very problem of our selves yet we blame and accuse the people or the situations surround our lives. This is not the plan of God for our live.

This is a war between you and yourself. We are the judge and still the accused. The worst of it all is, we don’t even want to believe God can help us. We are now blinded by what people will say, how they will see us and how we want them to treat us so much that we now live a lie. We put up attitudes just to fit into the expectation of people. We compromise our faith and values just to gain people’s approval. Singles are having sex before marriage because they don’t want people to think they are social enough or outdated – they want to feel a sense of belonging. Single sisters that get pregnant abort their promising child because they don’t want people to think they are irresponsible.

Fathers lie to their child just to gain respect. Ladies behave so rude to men because they want the men to see them as expensive and as a wife material. Men borrow money to impress ladies because they want the ladies to see them as responsible me. Youths lies to keep their relationship instead of being truthful and grow. Teenagers sacrifice their education on the altar of sex and dating because they want to gain approval from their friends.

Pastor lie on the pulpit because they want to impress the Church. We all in one way or the other live our lives with covering ups. Some people use the kind of phone they use as a means of covering for their insecurity. Some people use fashion as a means of covering for their insecurity. Some people are so domineering just to cover their insecurity and doubts. Some people are so abusive just to cover up their low self esteem. Some people date, it’s not because they need the relationship. It’s because they don’t want to be seen unattractive to ladies or men.

Will you say the truth and die or you will speak lies to live?

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...
