Out of the Shadows - Part 1

Matthew 11:28

Out of the shadows is a lifestyle that is set out of the pains, regrets, mistakes, condemnation, and wrong expectations. This is a lifestyle of freedom from the shadows. This is a call to break out of the negative mentality you have about your self. This is a call to break out of the wrong believe you have about your self. This is a call to break out of the wrong identity you have accepted. This is a call to break out of the ignorance and laziness surrounding you.

Out of the shadows is a call of you coming out of the shadows of life and it involves you stepping into the Light and truth of the knowledge of God. There is a need for you to have a personal relationship with your self. This will become impossible if you still remain in the shadows. It’s time for you to discover your real identity through the Holy Spirit.

It’s time for you to discover the original you, God have created you to be. It’s time you understand who God has designed you to be. It’s time for you to operate in the wisdom of how God design you to function. All these will be impossible as long as you remain under the shadows.

God did not create you to live in any shadow surrounding you. We have different shadows surrounding us today. We have the shadows of the expectations of the people or society towards us. You were created to become Gods intention.

Here we are fighting to fit into expectation that has nothing to do with Gods plan. We have become victims of our own ignorance. The Holy Spirit is here to help you.

Out of the shadows is a call of giving attention to your self through what the word of God has written concerning your life. It’s time for you to have a relationship with your self through Gods word. You have lost focus from your self because you have separated your self from your source (CHRIST).

The life in the shadows is a platform where you lack a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. Its also a place where you lack a personal relationship with your self. Your personal relationship with the Holy Spirit is the only platform for you to have a personal relationship with your self.

The only way for you to break out of the shadows is when you choose to learn afresh who God has created you to become in Christ. Apart from the expectations surrounding you, GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You are not what the media, or what people suggest to you. You are who God’s word says you are. It’s time for use to do a personal check up.

Jesus Loves you.

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...
