Unmasking The Past - Part 1

 What is unmasking your past? 

Unmasking your past is the ability to accept and own your past, without any thoughts or ideas of abandoning them, or denying them as part of your existence. It is the ability of your refusal to be ashamed of them. It is the ability of you to recognize them as part of your journey which will constantly hold a clue to the interpretation of your present and your future.

This is a journey and a mindset that reveals today is the child of the past. Everybody has a past that is mixed with things they are proud of and things that looks shameful to be made known in public. Nevertheless, no human can claim innocent in this area of the subject. As bad as some of our past might be, they contributed to this amazing us that we are becoming daily

 How is this unmasking of the past in nature?

It is a deliberate decision of anyone who has decided to accept their past with the credit or blame that comes with them as his or her full responsibility. It is the absence of shifting blame or making excuses. It is a display of humility, accountability, and honesty to yourself.

It is the ability of you to drop every blame and admits to the fact that you are a sole contributor (directly or indirectly) to any of your past that happened. It is in your observation to identify what you did wrong, how you did it, what made you do it, and where you missed it... irrespective of the influence of any other person the contributed to the events of your past.

It is you identify where your ignorance implicated you. It is you identifying where your stubbornness implicated you. It is you identifying where being honest and truthful is implicated. It is you paying attention to the whole details surrounding your past. IT IS YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT YOU DIDN'T DO. IT IS YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT YOU DID. In this is a place you learn, the first person to blame is yourself. The first person to appreciate is yourself. The first person to forgive is yourself.

This is a step of maturity learning the wisdom that every outcome of your life was EITHER YOUR CHOICE OR YOUR FAULT... even thou you are realizing it now.
It is you Admitting your faults and the success of your past. It is about you Looking in the mirror and being honest about your mistake and success. Own your part, and leave it to others to own theirs. Proverbs 28:13, James 5:16.

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 ...
