Consistency

Consistency is a virtue, it is not seen as one all of the time but it really is. What is consistency? This is a high degree to which a set pattern, trend, or character is followed, and this trend, pattern or character is followed unconditionally. Trends or patterns can be set in any and everything. It can be in the way one speaks, dress, address people, the relationships one has and just the way things are generally done. I would be focusing more on consistency in relationships, solely because I can speak from my past experiences. Inconsistency is a major source of confusion, its causes you to shy away from what “is” and focus on what is “not”. A lot of people deal with “off and on’s” in relationships, not specifically boy-girl relationships, but also in mutual sex relationship. When a party in a relationship all of a sudden quits on the other, and renders them confused, then inconsistency has set in. Most people are inconsistent due to immaturity or indecisiveness which can be sometimes understandable. It is very unfair though to drag someone else in your confusion because it either sets them back, or you cause them to be as confused as you are. Before you embark on anything at all, it is a very wise idea to be as informed about it as possible, pray about it and be sure it is the best for you rather than just jumping into it and backing out at the dying minute. It is good to be known for who you really are, rather than carrying the coat of a chameleon. Once you set your heart to something, and you are certain that you have made an appropriate decision, then you will be consistent and you would have a smooth sail. There would be no fear of backing out or disappointing anyone. A lot of times, feelings are hurt, hearts are broken all because they have been entangled with a person who is not consistent and wont always come through for them.

GIVE UP!

"Don’t give up" is a quote that is often used by many, even I have used it on several occasions. Recently it dawned on me that I just might be wrong about the whole "don’t give up thing” and I really do need to give up. There are a lot of things in life that we just try to hold on to whether it its right or wrong, whether is ours or not, whether it glorifies man or God. We hold on to bitter-sweet relationships , we hold on to careers that is leading us nowhere, even when there are better opportunities staring us in the face, we make the same silly mistakes over and over again all because we have failed to GIVE UP in the first place.We are encouraged by parents, friends, elders, spiritual leaders, and people in general, they tell us over and over again "Don’t give up". Guess what? YimiDivine is acting contrary to that. I am giving up on anything that makes me less of what God has ordained me to be, I am giving up on things that I want desperately and I have not been initially destined to have(believe me, if you genuinely seek the face of the lord you would know), I am giving up on associations that defile me rather that edify me, I am giving up on all my failures, rather than being sorry about them, I am pressing on to succeed, I am giving up everything I consider negative and making positive affirmations out of it all.Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). Even the word of God lets us know that we need to GIVE UP our old self in order to enter a new covenant with Christ and be born again.Give up now while you can, don’t just give up, but give up wisely, give up for a purpose, see a big picture ahead of you, give up and be happy you did. Again, GIVE UP WISELY! GIVE UP NOW!

Love

Today I woke up to LOVE. There have been many times in my life that I felt that there is no love around me. I felt like no one loved me and I could not be bothered to love anyone. Other times came that I felt showered with love; the sad thing is there was always a question behind it. Is the love I feel genuine? Is this feeling going to be for always? Most times, those feelings fade away. I thought I had a problem, I felt I just could not be loved. Really who said I could not be loved? There was actually someone out there that had undying love for me. Christ had genuine love for me, the type of love that I cannot trade for silver or gold. I began to love myself; I found everything good in me. I am a rare gem of inestimable value, I am a priceless diamond...Oh how I love me! I actually did not have a problem, I was indeed very amiable, I just had to learn that the love of God is perfect love and the love of man......is just the love of man. Now I can love because I am loved and indeed, HE LOVED ME FIRST!!!!!!!.

Thought

I am here only because I do a lot of thinking. My thoughts will mean nothing if it is not shared. I am thinking again, it might have a meaning and it might not, but bottom line is, you are drawn along in my deepest thoughts. I am here thinking why I have questions and have no answers, and I also feel like I have answers but does it really answer my question???? I have goals, dreams, big pictures of my current time and of my future, but these thoughts and questions would not stop coming, they keep coming and I have no answer. Will you be who or what you want to be? Is that what you want for yourself? Why do you want what you want? And the questions go on and on, all in my deep thoughts.
