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?

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...

Waiting vs. Walking in God’s Timing

Desiring marriage can make singles impatient, tempting them to settle or force relationships. But God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are higher than ours. Scripture declares, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14). Walking in patience allows God to orchestrate the right union that honors Him fully. Waiting is not passive; it is a period of preparation, prayer, and personal growth. Singles are called to strengthen their character, deepen their intimacy with Jesus, and clarify their purpose. This ensures that when the right partner comes, the relationship will serve God’s kingdom and not just personal desire. Rushing leads to compromises and mismatches, but intentional waiting produces alignment, covenant readiness, and a union that glorifies Jesus. Trusting God’s timing allows His wisdom to guide your choices, protecting your heart and your future marriage. When you wait on God and walk in His timing, you become a vessel rea...
