Faithful Boanerges

There were times I'd put just R100 worth of petrol in my tank, while other times R1500. I've had just R70 to feed myself and my son, I've also had R2000 to go out to eat. I’ve had a house full of food and I didn't have any. I’ve been in stores cashing out with no worries and I’ve also had to add it up and put things back on the shelf. I’ve paid my bills in full and I’ve had to pay it late, too. I’ve given money and I too have had to ask for it. I have stayed holidays at home and I have been to other countries on holiday.

We all have highs and lows in life, some certainly more than others, but we’re all just trying to make it.

No one is better than anyone else, and my heart is sad for those who think that they are. No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, or how much money sits in your bank account - we all bleed red and will fade from this earth. Death has no discrimination neither should your life.

The people who pretend they love you so much will leave you standing in all the storms just so they can shine.

Be kind to others. We are all here to serve God Stop the power-tripping. An over-sized ego wont get you anywhere. And know that not everyone has the same heart as you.

Let the spirit move you!!!

Happy New Year
To All

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. .

"Prostitution is now hookup, Charm is now Grace, Bad character is now mood swings, Fake life is now packaging, A broke young man is poor but a broke young woman is a strong woman, Happiness now depends on drugs, Happiness now depends on drugs, Drunkard now see addiction as excuse to depression. Molly is now the real joy giver, Smokers now see it as a means of taking away their pains, Cultism is now the norms definition of real men, Money now paddles the canoe of love.
Meanwhile "I'm the table is now the slogan of a lady in relationship. Our old time friends are now strangers due to change in financial status, Brothers now selecting brothers according to their standards, WHAT A FOWARDED GENERATION"

WHY MEN ARE CALLED "GROOM”, AND THE WOMAN “THE BRIDE” ON WEDDING DAY?

Why is the newly wedded man called groom and the woman called bride? A friend of mine got tired of his wife just about six months after wedding. He complained bitterly to me about her and told me that he has concluded to break up with her; he went on to say that he was sure that he made a mistake. I did not respond immediately because I knew I must tell him that right thing, so I went home. And that is
what birth this message. Many men have broken up with their wives because they end up not being the wife that they have dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task.

Nobody calls the woman wife on her wedding day but bride,because it is the man that will groom his bride to become the wife.That is why the man is called ‘bridegroom or groom’ and the word grooming has to do with patiently nurturing, teaching, tending and helping someone to become what he or she should be.It is therefore believed that a man that takes a woman to the altar of marriage is matured enough to patiently groom his bride to become the wife.

The man is not supposed to just expect the bride to automatically become the wife, she must be groomed. It is clear that many of us men have unnecessary expectations when we are getting married, we want some magic to happen to our wives, we want them to become what we have had in mind about who we want our wives to be; not considering the fact that the woman does not know what is on your mind except you teach her.

Our expectations are often too unrealistic, because we don’t remember that change takes time and we can only expect something from someone that knows what we want. So before you think of breaking up, have you groomed her? Have you given her time to understand you? Hope you realize that a turtle will never become a hawk? God often brings people that are opposites of each other together in marriage so that they can help each other in their place of weaknesses.

If your wife is weak where you are weak, then where will you get the strength that is needed? The problem with many of us is that we don’t accept people before attempting to change them. Of course, our wives are not from our backgrounds, so it will take time for them to adjust. Stop trying to change her, accept her, love her, teach her and be patient with her; that is what grooming is all about. She is going to be your wife but she is your bride now, so groom her.

Stop complaining about her, she may be a turtle and you a hawk, she cannot fly so be patient with her. I don’t believe that your marriage can’t work, be patient and allow God to help you.

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?
Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen, for by it we gain approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible in the naked eye, but in spirit.

We become what we believe...

Take also in consideration that .

May the Lord be with You in everything you do!
I decree Success upon your life!

Heavenly Father...
We rebuke the Spirit of Su***de and Substance abuse...
Amen🧘

The Best thing you can be in this new year is;
Yourself❤️

God gave you all you need at birth, use them wisely with grace and you'll succeed!!!

May the Good Lord restore your success
