<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I made this post sometime last year on my facebook wall. As i read it again today, I realized just how awesome God is, He will allow certain things to happen in your life so he can draw you closer to him. I decided to share it here with the hope that it will bless someone else as it blessed me.</span></div>

" If you want to live a life of purpose and meaning, maximize the strengths God has given you. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
Find ways to do more of what you do well and less of what you don’t.</div>

(Before you were born, God knew you and shaped you for a divine purpose. He had good plans for your life) </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
The way God shaped you reveals how he wants to use you. In other words, if you want to know what you’re supposed to do with your life, you’ve got to look intently and deeply at how God wired you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
Your SHAPE — the spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences God gave you — reveals your purpose. Set aside some time to discover your purpose, based on how God shaped you.</div></div><a href="https://freshdoses.blogspot.com/2018/01/your-shape-knowing-your-purpose.html#more">Read more »</a>RTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605014419963271079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681554886521581608.post-64008944218492668522017-02-25T22:32:00.001-08:002017-02-25T22:32:15.383-08:00Wrestling with bad behaviour : Struggling with bad choices!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

This is one of those posts that makes you wonder about who you really are apart from your choices and how we deal with the weight that comes with the guilt from making a bad choice (decision), especially when it begins to affect and change your behaviour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is particularly difficult because we know that most times, our choices does not entirely reflect who we are as a person. So you made a wrong move at the wrong time and now you have to pay dearly for the guilt that comes along with it, especially when you know people are murmuring about it and you have no way of defending yourself. You are trapped by thoughts of guilt with no way of reversing it or making it right.</div>

"Thy Will be done ", These words have become so real to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the first 20+ years of my life, I never really gave my life any serious thought ( the irresponsibility of ignorance), I lived with such careless abandon, stumbled through bad decisions and failed attempts at figuring out what my life was all about, I walked through days unsure of what I was going to do with my life most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I sensed that I had something of value, however I was unsure of what it was and how to access it. I remember crying profusely wondering why things were not lining up for me the way I "thought" they should. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was alive but was not living. I fell into the routine of life as expected - go to school, get a degree, get a job, settle down, grow old, die. But somewhere in this lineup I knew there were some items missing ,which was "become who God created you to be","impact lives", "be great".</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This came to me while I was contemplating a situation in my life where I was struggling to understand why I sometimes 'worry' over things I have surrendered to God. This is where a lot of us fall and stay down for a long time, unless we become enlightened inside of us to pick ourselves up by our believe and in the God we have placed our trust in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because of the way the world is and how we have seen/heard about how people treat each other, the wickedness we see and hear or even experienced, have led us to be quick in our respond to a threat than a promise. This is not because we do not 'know' that God is always willing to rescue us when we call on him, but because we have failed to separate the size of the problem, who is responsible for it and the ability of God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The human nature is "naturally" wicked and full of revenge and spite thereby offering a fertile ground for unbelief, doubt, fear and worry. because when you have been bad towards someone else its only natural to expect the same. So we are constantly battling the notion of "to be kind or not be kind", "to forgive or not to forgive", to love or not to love". </div>

A lot of people walk around defeated. Defeated in their thinking, knowing and understanding of what to do, who they are and who they have become.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life is a series of challenges designed to test our tenacity, and willingness to confront and overcome them so that we may be molded into a people suitable to be presented as worthy of the reward that awaits those that are victorious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was once a victim of the question "<b>why me?</b>" and very often slide in and out of it. I never understood why things were not working for me, why I was encountering one challenge after the other and for the most part losing in almost all of the battles. or at least not feeling victorious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We must recognize that the enemy only fights those that have great potential to do irreparable damage to his miserable kingdom, so he will fight you tooth and nail to prevent you from reaching a full awareness of your self and who you are in Christ. The attack is greatest when you are losing something/someone that was bound by the enemy.</div>

This post may not resonate with everyone, though I pray it speaks to as many people that read it. I understand that we all have different understandings and believe systems. But! I believe this cuts across all that as this is a common denominator in our lives.</div>

This post may be 'deep' for some, and enlightening for others if you fall in the bracket of the former, it is my prayer that God will give you understanding in your heart as you read.</div>

We are under ATTACK. No matter how blessed and successful we are, we are being attacked or about to be attacked.We are in a HEAD fight with the devil, We must attack him with what we "KNOW" . Your head will lead you where your heart will not take you. Your head is the center of your existence, how you relate to people around you and things in your life, so it is very important to protect your head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The enemy is fighting you over the control of your mind (life), Everything that he does, every form of attack is a battle for control. When the enemy gets ready to attack you, he is going to go after your HEAD, When the brain is dead, the heart cannot help you. But the brain can save the heart. (<i>Put on the helmet of Salvation</i>).</div>

<br>
I am going to be honest and say that I've had moments when I was so afraid and completely worried and unsure of where my life was headed and how I was going to survive. Fear was slowly becoming part of the worry sequence I had unconsciously allowed into my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing with fear is that, it stems from the logical part of our human reasoning. You know when things are out of your control and you are at the mercy of the possibility of the situation getting worse and you have no clue how you will survive. We are designed to survive, this means we are equipped with the ability to find ways to solve problems that are tugging at our joy and peace, and when we are unable to do this (naturally), the enemy takes advantage of our ignorance (lack of spiritual knowledge) and triggers fear and it all goes down from there if not intercepted by the word of God.</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember being stuck with thinking about all the things that could go wrong during a very difficult time in my life, and how things may go wrong in the most worst way possible, I need not say that my anxiety level skyrocketed further fueling the fear that was slowly taking root in my life. I knew the word of God, I was aware of some of His promises and for the most part I thought I believed in Him,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You see, we can be Christians, regular church goers, even workers in the church and still do not really know or understand the God that we so often proclaim and all the things He can and has done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember vividly on one occasion during a very challenging and turbulent time in my life, I knew there was something wrong, I prayed, I sang songs of praise and worship and even fasted. All this I did because these are the things you are 'Supposed' to do when you are faced with tough situations as a Christian. Little did I know that God already had everything sorted out and was just waiting for me to believe in Him, I remember crying to God and telling Him that I was so confused and didn't know what else to do, I will never forget the response I got " <b><i>You say you have faith, yet you don't believe</i></b>".<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many times we believe that when things go wrong and has probably gone pass the timing for the possibility of restoration and intervention that it means it could no longer be salvaged or rescued. This may be ill health, broken relationships,missed opportunities etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This could not be further away from the truth,because timing is one thing that I believe is divine and can be re-arranged for our benefit once we know how to apply the principles of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time is a beautiful thing,because it keeps records, creates multiple chances, inspires hope and presents opportunities. So it allows you to look back, re-live moments, try again and have expectations. I love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me bring this closer to home. You may be faced with a problem or challenge that you were not prepared for or have never experienced therefore unable to respond adequately to or know the details of how to deal with it. This may leave you lost and confused for a while. Do not fret, you are only doing what you know how to do given your knowledge of the situation and your understanding of the circumstances surrounding the situation. For some, this may be as serious as a legal case,terminal illness or as fragile as a broken relationship/marriage. Every problem has an expiration date, sooner or later everything will work out. some may end as expected, others may end with a lesson, either way, we leave equipped with new knowledge and better prepared to survive/overcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life takes us on a journey of discoveries and lessons all categorized within different times and stages in our life. I have come to understand that our life is doing what it is supposed to do whether we are ready for it or not and time is there to make sure of it. Nothing that happens to us is without redemption and opportunities to resolve and live better afterwards.</div>

<b><u>It takes some people longer than others to figure out what they are supposed to be doing with their life.</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know I write a lot about knowing who you are and what you were created to be. I believe this is very important as it is the root for our existence. Once we discover why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing, every thing naturally flows on from there. So do not be overwhelmed by this, It is my hope that someone is blessed by one of my posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am going to dive right in. I know a lot of people struggle with finding out who they truly are and what they are supposed to be doing with their life. So they jump from one thing to the other, leaving trails of unfinished projects, quitting before the business has time to grow, stranded ideas that began as a "great" idea and they end up thoroughly confused and frustrated. Which will often lead them back to repeat the cycle of <b><i><span style="color: red;">Fresh start - excited about something new -New idea- Questions and frustration - Tired and frustrated - Depressed - Strong again</span></i></b> then (repeat cycle).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How do i know? I found myself in this cycle. It has taken me years, tears and fears to come to where I am right now. I do not assume that I have figured it all out, but I know I am no more going through that cycle.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As strange as that may sound depending on what you may be going through right now, It is true. You may ask how I know and why I am so sure. I have read the stories of so many people and I have experienced it for my self that every thing happens for a reason. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We may call it mistakes or bad luck, but I call it destiny steps. I have noticed that everything that has ever happened in my life has brought me to this moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes it may not feel like it or look like it, but there is a single thread in everything we experience, some may be self inflicted as the case may be, others may be circumstantial. In all, there is a purpose behind every pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So before you go on a rampage on how life is unfair to you and wonder why this may be happening to you or that happened in your family, remember that there are other people out there going through similar or worse situations, turn on the news channel and you will see that you have it easy (within the context of this post). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We tend to personalize our pain because rightfully we are the ones faced with the reality of dealing with it, so it is difficult to just take what someone else has to 'say' because you they are not the ones experiencing it, you are feeling the pain that may seem like it will never go away or worse case, the fear that you may never come out of it because of the intensity or the ripple effect it may have on your life, family or relationships.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life doesn't always give us what we want. In most cases, it takes us in the opposite direction of where we are trying to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The question is, what do you do when you're on a path you did not ask for and was not ready to tread?.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing with sudden and unexpected changes is, no body really wants to leave their comfort zone (even though we know that's where great things happen). We just don't want to stay out in an unfamiliar space for too long, and in the worst case, be dealing with an unfamiliar situation, in a particularly tough and under unfamiliar circumstances. I call it, "The fear of uncertainty".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NOT knowing what is going to happen next is a daunting place to be, especially if you like to KNOW ahead of time and you are someone who likes to plan and be prepared for things so you know what moves you need to make to avoid unpleasant situations. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
See, life is funny because nobody really knows what is going to happen next, we all live with the hope that it wont be us trying to survive what life throws out, in which often times are not very pleasant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So everyone is walking around trying to dodge hardships and unplanned/unpleasant situations. When in fact these things are there to prune us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be thrown into an unexpected derailing situation in the middle of a thriving life or familiar process is HARD, You are forced to change EVERYTHING you knew and how you handle things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There may (will be) a time of deep depression, you realize that it is at that point that you will MEET yourself for the first time. Who you are, what you are made of, what you believe in, who your true friends are and how strong your family ties really are. In other words, its a scary place to be!<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were made for God, God was not made for us. Go back to your creator, find the purpose for which you were created. God is not just the starting point in our life, He is the source of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may choose your career, your spouse, your hobbies and many other parts of your life, but you don't get to choose your purpose. Without God, Life makes no sense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you (begin your walk) are with God, it will leave many people confused and often very critical of your decision and actions; even fellow Christians may have an Opinion on how you should or shouldn't go about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing is, it is between you and God. Nobody else will quite understand why you're doing what you do, because to everyone, his/her journey is uniquely tied up to their purpose on earth. Some discover it early and in an orderly manner, others stumble upon it right in the middle of a chaotic situation and most are divinely led by sudden intervention by God that may be difficult for others to understand. How ever you find yours, it is not by mistake. God planned it that way.<br>

<p dir="ltr">I hope we are all putting in the work, and believing for great results :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">This post is for those that need some kind of re-assurance or re-confirmation that God hears our prayers first of all and that He also answers them. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Maybe some of you are like me, I tend to pray alot about the things going on in my life. It can be a decision I want to take or a need that I want met. </p>
<p dir="ltr">For me, prayer is a direct line to God; you never get the busy tone, it's always free! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am convinced that our prayers are very powerful, the words we speak have power and when we tell them to a powerful God through the powerful name of his powerful son it definitely invokes and <br>
maninfests in/with power.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Do you get the picture? </p>
<p dir="ltr">So when you do pray, be aware of the force that is being generated and the power that it carries. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So incase you sometimes wonder if your prayers are enough, or if it's heard. I'm re-assuring you that it is. </p>
<p dir="ltr">And this can be a simple,quiet prayer of sincerity and humble request, or the loud and passionate prayer of confidence in the power and ability of God to turn things around when we desperately need it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Either way, when we PRAY in the name of JESUS, we invoke the power that is embedded in that name and there is a given guarantee that by the mention of that name every knee must bow! How re-assuring is that? </p>
<p dir="ltr">I get really excited when I sit down to analyse the power God has placed in our hands. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So develop a habit of talking to God through prayer. Like I always say, carry God along in your daily life. Include Him in your plans, rely on Him for everything that you desire and He will show up for you. </p>
<p dir="ltr">There is POWER in prayers. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Be blessed! </p>

The past couple of weeks has been a hazy manoeuvre of tangled emotions; excitements with a dash of exhaustion, teary laughter and heartbreaking worry. I can say that I have felt the whole spectrum of emotions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You would think that by now I would be drained and ready to call it a day, Ha! I thought so too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With every passing day, I am awakened by a rush of Joy, its like ive been hit with a double-decker truck load of mental stability and a relentless desire to keep going.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My body may be tired but Oh! my heart is just warming up and ready to go. With just one look into your eyes and i am revving, charging like a lion ready to roar.</div>

Thank God we don't look like what we've been through, otherwise the things we have managed to conceal would be displayed on the frown lines and wrinkles on our face, a sad and dark aura that shows up when we walk into the room or just plain bad attitude or( fill in any negative word here).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
*Sigh*... that is how i begin this post, with a huge sigh... i'm not sure if it is of relief that most of us have come to the knowledge that some things may never change and we have accepted it or it is the thought of knowing what can possibly go wrong and we are not sure how to deal or handle it.<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am big on gratitude. I make a deliberate conscious effort to stay grateful to God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought about people like me who are swarmed with work load, chores, responsibilities etc, that are living simple but honest lives. Those who seek the greater good, even those who do not yet know how to begin and are trying to find their footing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Campaign is my way of acknowledging God's mercy and grace. It is we saying "Thank you for loving us" despite all our wrong doing and lack of gratitude sometimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a simple and fun way to express our gratitude, simply put up your photo with the hashtag #ALIVEANDACTIVE </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And take a moment to tell God how grateful you are for the gift of Live and another day to try again.</div>
<br>
See mine after the jump :)<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm all about gaining new knowledge and living the best life I can possibly live. With this quest in mind, I do a lot of reading (often online) and asking questions. I stumbled on this interesting article that contains a list of books to read before turning 30. Ha!, too late for most people but there are not hard and fast rules, so please for those of us that are above thirty, you can still read it... *wink* make up for lost time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far I've read just one out of the list... I know, 29 more to go; but I will do my best to read them all. Most of these books can be found as e-books online. So go ahead and search them out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are a list of over 30 books of unparalleled prose, packed with wisdom capable of igniting a new understanding of the world. Everyone should read these books before their 30th birthday.</div>

WAKE UP! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!!<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I often have to scream this in my head when I find myself sulking and refusing to deal with the realities life presents, or when i'm just stuck in the ' Lord why me?' choke-hold expecting an immediate, audible response from God, that sometimes we don't hear, maybe because we did not listen or the words are drowned from the constant noise of our ever energetic thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my short time on earth, I've had my fair share of troubles, struggles, losses, regrets, you name it. And through all this, one things has been a constant; somehow I always make it through. It may take a while, a few tears and prayers, the silent head vs heart tug of war, but God always pulls me through. Through all of this, I have only become stronger and wiser.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I discovered that I enjoyed writing, I always struggled with trying to figure out who I was and what my purpose was on earth. It haunted me day and night, it felt like a plague, a disease, something that I thought I was facing alone, " no one else could possibly be going through this" , I always thought to myself. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The day began like every other,
with a slow ease into the responsibilities that accompanies each day; from personal
routine to my desk facing my laptop. As usual, I began with checking my mails
and easing into the office task that lies ahead; a pattern I have gotten all
too used to over time. While taking my break, I decide to include a photo on my blog
profile so I took a photo of myself; like I usually do, I took a couple of them
so I could choose the best one … you know, right angle, good lighting etc (women,
we all do this). Anyways, so I finally narrow down to one and I upload it in my
blog profile.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I do this almost unconsciously as
I kept looking at the photo still open on my Laptop, I caught myself starring at it blankly, like in a trance; my thoughts
must have gotten the best of me, because I began to have flashbacks. You know
the glossy screen images of your life filled with subtle smiles and some
element of wonder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought of writing about something brilliant, something very convincing; a topic that will address a multitude of concerns and unanswered questions...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing came to mind, not that there aren't obvious struggles like financial issues, self confidence, loving who you are and how God created you etc. All these are very deep issues that is worth writing about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But then I realized that 'gratefulness' did not top that list; this really opened my eyes to see how easily we can forget to show gratitude, it cost us nothing... we just don't remember often enough to just say 'Thank you Lord for all that you have given me'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trust me, I was a chronic whiner once upon a time... all i could see were the things i did not have, praying a one directional prayer of, ' I want.... I need... Give me...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We do this things most time unconsciously, or as I like to say it; we let our selfish side take the drivers seat.</div>

Being Strong is never easy<br />
Faith takes courage, it does not just fall into your heart<br />
Everyday presents a brand new challenge<br />
For many, there is no way out, nobody to ask for help<br />
Yet, time keeps ticking, and the days keep rolling by<br />
Suddenly, If you ever doubted God, you find yourself beginning to trust Him<br />
If you ever wondered if He hears you, you begin to pray<br />
In that moment you believe God for freedom, for a way out<br />
Strength ignites, Hope is in sight<br />
It takes courage to decide, on whom to abide.<br />
<br />
Stay Strong!<br />
<br /></div>
