1. don't loose your mind over a failed relationship, because you are gonna need your mind to start and get through a new one.
2. instead of putting your lighter on just to blow your weed, it's about time you allow the light of Christ into your life and let your salvation glow.
3. love doesn't suck... the truth is that, we all suck at expressing it.
4. It's as simply as this... no one can fully understand GOD... If His actions were small enough for us to understand... then He wouldn't be big enough for us to call Him GOD.
5. I might just be a tiny fraction in God's big picture... but He's desire is for me to do my part... and my desire is to live by His will.
6. never compromise your faith for the Ghana Cedi or the Dollar Bill.(or any other currency)... it never ends well.!!!
7. it doesn't matter how hard we try to conceal the truth... it always finds a way of revealing itself... and moreover it is always written all over our faces.
8. sometimes the truth sucks... and it can be really ugly... but it is still the truth... so deal with it... that is why I thank God for one truth I can always rely on: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
9. it's not true that you have failed... the truth is that you haven't made it yet.
10. some people never enjoy their relationships because they are always scared about how long it will last... but take this from me, every song ends... is that any reason not to enjoy the music? all the best in your relationships, my friends.
11. don't have to give up when the elevators in your life break down... because the stairs are still gonna be available.

SHADOWS OF THE PAST
I dropped a coin (50Gp) one evening by the road and I had to search for it. It was getting dark and was really hard to find. My shadow was displayed right in front of me, making matters worse. I had to reposition myself, before I could find my coin. That is what shadows can do. They prevent you from seeing things clearly. Many of the things we did or went through have become our shadows, trying to prevent us from unlocking our wonderful future. And don’t get it twisted, the 50Gp that evening was really worth my search.
Most of us have a past that we want to remain buried, but unfortunately it keeps on showing its ugly face in our present lives. The past is very good at hunting and that is why we must be careful with what we do in the present since it will one day become our past. The purpose of this note is to give you a simple message and that is, you have a bright future but you have got to do away with the shadows of your past.
The reason why it is sometimes hard for the past to give up on us is because we make situations favorable for him to be around. Things we were never proud of, will always find a way to resurface but we don’t have to let the them define us.
Once you become a follower of Christ, the old things have passed away and behold everything iis new (2 Corinthians 5:17). You must understand this and know that you are a different person. The old you has no say in your life. That is why you must do away with things that contributed to your old life. Isaiah 43:18 also says "Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.
Your future holds a wonderful blessing for you and the shadows of your past can mess it up for you, but only if you allow it. You might have been a prostitute, murderer, thief etc., but once you come to Christ you are no more. You are new. Don’t mind the people who always want to refer you back to your past. God loved you back then and loves you now. He wants you to forget those times and cherish this moment of change in your life.
It is never too late to turn your life around. You don’t have to live life as a heathen. God is real and your future is real. Your past is gone and you must allow it to stay there. Sometimes we loose people and things and we never let it go. We keep on trying to deduce reasons as to why it happened. But the truth of the matter is that, sometimes we have got to loose our minds in order to gain our minds. Let it go, for the future holds far greater things for you.
Personally, I regret a lot of decisions that I have taken in the past and I had almost allowed these regrets to control my life. Everything I did was with references to my mistakes in the past. But God has made it clear to me that, despite the mistakes that were made, I have still got my whole life ahead of me. So I should not waste it. I was living in the past but with Christ, I conquered. You can conquer too. He is more than able and ready to help you. All you have got to do is invite Him.
In conclusion, your past is gone, come out of it.
Your present is here, live it to the fullest.
Your future is bright, be prepared for it.
Am out.!!!

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
We all talk about love and want to feel loved. Most of us claim to even be experts when it comes to dealing with this word called love.We all have our opinion and believes, but i believe the concept of love is clearly indicated in the Word of God. If we don’t have enough real love in our lives, the resulting emptiness is unbearable
It is unconditional love that we all seek, and somehow we intuitively realize that anything other than that kind of love isn’t really love at all—it’s an imitation of the real thing. Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves.
I want us to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made to take our place on the cross. It was not an easy decision for Him but He knew it was worth it because he loved us. His love for us was what drove Him to the cross in our place. This was a sacrifice of love.
Now many of us claim we love and yet we are not ready to sacrifice for our loved ones. We proclaim our love for someone and in a single moment of doubt all those signs of “love” instantly vanished. Let us learn to love people truly for it is the purpose of our existence. People are meant to be loved and sacrifices meant to be made.
We must learn to love everybody. Even when we are not loved back. Regardless of ethnicity, religion, sex, occupation etc love must bind us all together. It may be easy to look around our world today and see the appearance of chaos, difficulty and strife. Yet, when we come from an open heart, we can also see our opportunity to love all things into balance, joy, harmony and peace.
Simply, if you cannot make sacrifices for the one you love, then it is not really love. To be able to love without hoping for anything in return is where true love begins.
So as we live our lives, lets focus on Jesus and the example He set for us. I love you all and pray that you are consumed with the unconditional love of our Father in heaven. Exhibit this love and let us live in peace and harmony.
