Seun Ajia – The Bragging Kid

by topeogunyinka@gmail.comupdated on January 20, 2016January 20, 20167 Comments on Seun Ajia – The Bragging Kid

It got to a time in my walk with God were I was confident in all the Holy Spirit had told me about God, and part of this was I believed every believer had a great destiny in Christ if only they let Him guide their steps (I still do by the way). I also …

How do I seek God with all my heart and soul? See How do I seek God with all my heart and soul?

Seek:

How desperate am I for God?

It's so easy to get distracted. It's so easy to be swayed by  life and activities that we lose sight of what we should pursue and go after. I've been pondering on how I can seek God with all my heart and soul. How can I make His desires mine? How can I be passionate about Him? 

What I've come to understand is seeking God is a forever thing. It's a lifelong process.

Like the song says, 🎶the more I know You, the more I want to know You, Jesus more of You.🎶

We chase after God and we are satisfied but unsatisfied. We want more.

God—you’re my God! I can’t get enough of you! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.
Psalm 63:1 MSG

A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek; I want to drink God, deep draughts of God. I’m thirsty for God-alive. I wonder, “Will I ever make it— arrive and drink in God’s presence?” I’m on a diet of tears— tears for breakfast, tears for supper. All day long people knock at my door, Pestering, “Where is this God of yours?”
Psalm 42:1‭-‬3 MSG

.

And I don't mean seeking God just because you need something. Seek God because you have want Him more than what gifts He has to offer you (He knows your motives for seeking Him). Because when you seek Him for Him alone, you get more than your heart can handle (Matt 6:33)

Do let me know if the few tips above helps. ❤️

About the Book: @sarahagertywrites unfolds the t About the Book: 

@sarahagertywrites unfolds the truths found in the biblical story of Mary of Bethany to discover the scandalous love of God and explore the spiritual richness of being hidden in him.

Every heart longs to be seen and understood. Yet most of our lives is unwitnessed. We spend our days working, driving, parenting. We sometimes spend whole seasons feeling unnoticed and unappreciated.

In Unseen, Sara Hagerty suggests that this is exactly what God intended. He is the only One who truly knows us. He is the only One who understands the value of the unseen in our lives. When this truth seeps into our souls, we realize that only when we hide ourselves in God can we give ourselves to others in true freedom--and know the joy of a deeper relationship with the God who sees us.

God's invitation is not just for a season or a day. It is the question of our lives: "When no one else applauds you, when it makes no sense, when you see no results--will you waste your love on Me?"

****

🌺 My Review/Lessons:

In her book, Sara Hagherty shares how her work for God made her feel validated and worthy, but as she continued with the work she lost sight of the 'walk'. She came to a point where she spoke about God and His love and her life no longer lived out that love. A point where she had to ask herself if she really believed the Words of God.

I penned a lot of things but here's a few of them:

🌟God delights in you as an individual before you took up His calling upon your life. In as much as God wants you to do something for Him (winning souls, giving to the poor, using your talent to serve Him etc.) He wants You more.

🌟 Study Scripture with a desire to know God and not just out of obligation or to increase your Biblical knowledge.

🌟Seek God's approval more than anyone else. Because man doesn't approve of you doesn't mean you're insignificant to God. 

🌟 There is growth in the secret. Just like roots sink in deep beneath the ground and taking up nutrients, hidden from the world... So also there's growth staying in God. 

This is a beautiful book. One I had to read at a slow pace for the words/teachings to sink in.

Reposted from @diademscommunity It's not bookish Wednesday but it's faith Sunday, so it's a good day to review this Christian Romance Novel.

Now you know where it pinches by @topeomotoshowrites

This is a sequel to the book With these shoes I thee wed.

It's a continuation of Toke, Mayowa and Jadesola's stories.

As is usual with @topeomotoshowrites books, the spiritual lessons are outstanding.

Toke's story stood out for me because her struggles are common to many women.
Waiting for the fulfilment of God's promises can sometimes be a bumpy ride. 
Also, trying to figure out your identity in a marriage and struggling to align with your partner's vision when the unexpected comes up is a major cause of rancor in marriages.

Now you know where it pinches reminds us that even marriages centred on God's will has it ups and downs but in all things you must learn to rest in God and always remember you are a team.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow
...
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12

Whether married or single, we all have desires and many of them are valid. We have milestones we want to achieve within certain timelines but we must learn to rest in God; you know, learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

God always comes through.

I enjoyed reading this and even though the part of Jadesola's legal brouhaha came off a tad sensational, I love that it was well researched.

If you love Christian Romance Novels, you should read this.

I don't think I can ever forget the day I gave my I don't think I can ever forget the day I gave my life to Christ. Same way I don't think I'll ever stop talking about the life-changing experience and awe-inspiring moment when I got a deeper understanding of God's love which led to me writing #onceuponafirstlove (It doesn't mean I don't struggle with insecurities and self-doubt from time to time.) 
.
.
I constantly have to keep alive my relationship with God and keep cultivating it. Remind myself that I can be vulnerable with God, exposing myself to His scrutiny and summoning the courage to see my true self and those parts of me that's not of Him and needs to be purged out. He wants to know me and my weaknesses. He loves it when I can trust Him with my heart. 
.
.
These days I have enjoyed the sweet romance of sitting at His feet and just talking to Him about any and everything. Listening to His words of comfort and encouragement. Chastisement and gut-wrenching truth. Journaling my thoughts and feelings.
.
.
God's love is sweeter than honey🍯. His love is over and beyond. Simple to understand but still indescribable. You see, when you realise God loves you... Everything you do for Him comes alive with deeper meaning. Your speech, your behaviour, your work for Him, is constantly being worked on to make you more like Christ. Your relationship with God comes alive with a deeper meaning when you have a glimpse of His love for you. 
.
.
Even in the Message version, the Psalmist called God's love exquisite.
.
How exquisite your love, O God! How eager we are to run under your wings, 
Psalm 36:7‭MSG
.
.
Focus on God's love for you.
Let Him be first in your life.
You may be discouraged at how things are going right now, (I encourage you to tell Him about it) but know His plans and purposes for those who love Him.
