Topic: God in the Mundane

Bible Texts:
Colossians 3:23 – “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men”

Zechariah 4:10 – "For who hath despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth”

Introduction;

“Mundane” means ordinary, everyday things—like cooking, cleaning, going to work, teaching, or even resting. Many people think God is only present in big miracles, church services, or special moments, but the truth is: God is also in the small, daily things we do.

Keypoints to note;
1. God Cares About the Little Things(Zechariah 4:10): God says we should not despise small beginnings. That small business, that simple job, that daily routine; God sees value in them.

2. Do Everything As Unto God(Colossians 3:23): Whether it is cooking, teaching, studying, cleaning; do it as if you are doing it for God Himself. When you change your mindset, even small tasks become meaningful.

3. God Is Present in Your Daily Life, God is not far away—He is with you: At home, at work, in your quiet moments; you don’t need a big event to experience God.

4. Small Things Lead to Big Results: Big things often start small. Eg small prayers, small acts of kindness, small steps of obedience; God uses these to build something great.

Conclusion;
God is not only in the “big” moments. He is in the ordinary, He is in your daily life, He is in the small things you do. So appreciate your daily life, be faithful in little things and invite God into everything you do.

Shalom😊

Topic: Discerning Counterfeit Relationships

Text: 2 Corinthians 6:14, Proverbs 27:6

Proverbs 27:6: "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful"

This part tells us that it’s not all friends that are true friends, because some friends are just there to destroy.
A true friend may correct you, even if it hurts your feelings, but they do it because they want you to be better. An enemy, on the other hand, may speak sweet words and act nice, but inside they have bad intentions. So, not everyone who smiles with you truly cares about you.
👉 Examples in the Bible:
Judas Iscariot kissed Jesus Christ, but that kiss was a betrayal.
Job had friends who spoke to him, but instead of helping, they accused him wrongly.

2 Corinthians 6:14: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

This means believers should be careful about close relationships, like friendship, marriage, or partnerships, with people who don’t share the same faith. It doesn’t mean you should hate or avoid people, but you should not let them influence you to do wrong or leave your faith.
👉 Examples in the Bible:
Samson was led into trouble because of Delilah.

Solomon turned away from God because of foreign wives who didn’t believe.

In conclusion;
Stay close to people who help you grow in the right way, not those who pull you away from God.

Happy birthday darling Pwhite, God bless your new age abundantly and grant you all your heart desires. Greater heights ahead and of your increase, there shall be no end in Jesus name. Enjoy your new year 🎊🎉🥰

TOPIC: SANCTIFIED SELF-ESTEEM
TEXT: Psalm 139:14, Romans 12:3

Sanctified mean being holy or to be set apart for a special religious purpose
Self esteem means being confident in one own worth abilities or moral
Sanctified self-esteem is understanding of our worth and identity. It emphasizes the balance between humility and confidence, recognizing our inherent value as creations of God.

Text: Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.

2. Romans 12:3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Understanding Sanctified Self-Esteem
Identity in Christ : Our self-esteem should be formed through our identity as beloved children of God, emphasizing that every person has intrinsic value.

Humility and Confidence : Embracing a sanctified view means being humble about our weaknesses while confidently acknowledging the strengths God has given us.

Community Perspective :Self-esteem is not only an individual matter but involves how we relate to others within our community. Encouraging one another and recognizing God’s work in each individual.

Balanced View : A sanctified self-esteem recognizes both our worth as God's creation and the importance of remaining humble.

Sanctified self-esteem is essential for living a fulfilled and purposeful Christian life. By embracing the truth of who we are in Christ and viewing ourselves through His grace.

*Building up yourself as a female spiritually, financially, maritally and emotionally.*

Building yourself up in these areas takes intention and effort, but it's worth it.
As a female Christian you should know that growth is one thing God treasures the most. He gave us a typical example of the kind of woman he wants us to grow into, the proverbs 31 woman. As a female if you say you are the weaker s*x so you should just stay weak ha! you have just misinterpreted the meaning of being a weaker s*x. That phrase is only talking about females not being made in the faction of men with so much strength but it's not a call to be useless. As females there is a level of expectations from you by God and the society. Nobody was born useless that's why every female must wake up to the call of growth and excellence.

Let's do a quick rundown of growth in the following areas.

🎊Spiritual Growth:-you are expected to have a spiritual life and we can cultivate that via the following ways.

(A)Prayer and meditation: Connect with God daily through prayers and meditation.cultivate spiritual intimacy with God.(Matthew 6:6)

🎊(B)Bible study*: Feed your spirit with God's word Attend bible study regularly (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

(C) Godly Circle: Surround yourself with supportive believers,let believers be your friends, people who are heaven conscious (Hebrews 10:24-25)

🥂*Financial Growth.Financial stability is a key factor in the life of a female.pay attention to your financial growth, don't plan your future base on someone's pocket

Get a job or learn a trade.Build your career.

- *Budgeting*: Manage your finances wisely (Proverbs 21:5)
- *Saving*: Plan for the future.save for the rainy day (Proverbs 6:6-8)
-
🎊Giving*: Trust God with your resources.be charitable (Malachi 3:10)

*Marital Growth*
Don't just go into marriage without preparing for it, mentally, emotionally and financially.love isn't enough so you must grow above your emotions to be able to stay married.

*Communication*learn how to communicate properly,Nurture a healthy relationship (Ephesians 5:33)
- *practice Respect and love* Build a strong partnership, have the spirit of sportsmanship,be a team player (Proverbs 31:10-12)
- *Support*: Encourage each other's growth,be a woman of purpose,set goals and work towards achieving them.(Genesis 2:24)

Emotional Growth
- *Self-care*: Take care of your body and mind.this is very important, take care of yourself for yourself.(1 Thessalonians 5:23)
- *Emotional intelligence*: you must be emotionally intelligent to handle your emotions, that of your husband and your kids.Recognize and manage your emotions properly (Proverbs 15:1)
- *practice Forgiveness: Let go of grudges (Ephesians 4:32)
- let love overrule your ❤️ .
Growth is a very essential part of life, don't joke with your growth as a female,be intentional with your life and know that it's the will of God that you should prosper because God is interested in your prosperity. A grown woman is the desire of every man and family.

I pray that this piece helps us to build a stronger and better woman in us.
Shallom 🙏🤍

Healing while Helping.

This topic is a very sensitive one, sensitive in the sense that it revolves around our emotions no matter the type of pain you are going through it's still gets your emotions involved and helping still comes from our emotions.

Healing means a process of recovering from either spiritual or physical pain, emotional or phycological pain.

Healing while Helping means looking beyond your present situation to lend a helping hand to someone going through similar or a different situation or challenge and this requires faith.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

[3]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),
[4]Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.
Looking at the scripture above you will see that God comforts us so that we are able to comfort others.

It's never going to be easy extending comfort to someone in distress when you are still in pain but it's possible with Christ in us. Christ in us the hope of glory.

Healing while Helping is a journey of faith because you find solace in comforting others, you get relief when you share in the burden of others.
Job 42:10
[10]And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Look at a perfect example Mr Job,he was going through a season of pain and loss yet he prayed for his friends, what great faith.such faith is very hard to find.

Here are some things that happens when you help while healing.

1) you will be comforted by God himself.

2) it will hasten your healing process.

3) like Job you will be restored,made whole.

4) it will foster your growth spiritually and emotionally.

5) it will increase your faith in God.

6) it reduces the burden.

7) Your healing starts with helping.

In conclusion,I will like to let us know that pain is part of life and it's through our challenges we really feel the impact of the word of God in our spirit man. It boost maturity in faith and trust the healing power of God.Every healing comes with the process of time.

No matter what you are going through never withhold your hand of help because as you help you are calling on God to help you too.

Give your healing time and you will fully recover.

Shallom 🙏

OBEDIENCE OVER CONVENIENCE; 1Samuel 15:22, Luke 5:4-6
Obedience is the act of dutifully complying with the instructions, command, or rules of an authority figure, such as a parent, teacher, law, or God.
What is obedience in the Bible?: In Christianity, obedience is often equated with faithfulness. To be obedient means listening attentively to Devine instructions and responding positively out of reverence of our Creator. In our lives, we are called to obey God's word and His leading, even when it seems difficult or inconvenient. This obedience is an expression of our faith and trust in God. It is a response to His love and grace, acknowledging that His ways are higher than ours. Many times, obeying God is not difficult because we do not understand Him. It is difficult because obedience is often inconvenient. Convenience is what is easy and comfortable, while obedience means doing what God says even when it is not easy. God is not always looking for what is convenient for us; He is looking for a heart that obeys.

Practical Examples: Forgiving when it hurts, saying no to sin, obeying God when friends do not understand, and choosing truth over lies are all examples of obedience over convenience. Obedience may cost comfort, but disobedience costs destiny. God is not asking us to understand everything; He is asking us to trust Him enough to obey. Obedience may be uncomfortable today, but it will produce testimonies tomorrow.

Key Examples of Obedience in the Bible:
Abraham, Noah, Moses, Joshua & Caleb, Daniel and Friends, King Hezekiah, Paul, Joseph, Elijah, Mary (the mother of Jesus), JESUS CHRIST! Jesus displayed ultimate obedience by submitting to the Father's will on the cross. Yes, these people faced personal risk or pressure but still chose to follow God's commands! And the results?
Protection, Blessings, testimonies, and the fulfillment of God's purpose

Choose obedience over convenience, because God’s way is always better.

Hurray!
