Our names carry so much power and annointing from God, my name is OLUWAFUNMILAYO, it means "God has given me joy". I am supposed to bring joy to God and to people,because in his presence there is fullness of Joy. It is unfortunate that some of us have rubbished our names, our names have been associated with stealing, lies, prostitution, pride,drugs, i cant begin to mention all of it. what disturbs me is the fact that some of us don't care, you hear things like " i don't care what people think about me, i don't care what people say, or people are entitled to their opinion". Brothers and Sisters, it does count, what you do to people and how you affect people's life , is what you do to God,the bible says"you don't love your brother whom you see, but you claim to love me (God) whom you don't see" the bible is complete and it also says " a good name is better than riches" where the words of mouth are been spoken about you, you are not always there ,because you can't be everywhere, its your works, your good or bad deeds that will speak for you.
Many of us have lost blessing, favours, due to things that we have done a long time ago, but you know what, your life will be summarised by people some day, we all won't live forever. you have to strive to make people look back and say " wow, God has used this person to affect my life positively.
Fear God in all that you do,then you won't do the wrong things. True, even when you do the right things, you don't get loved by everyone, but they are minority compared to the majority who say the wrong things about you, everyone cant be wrong about you, you need to do the following:
1. Invite the Holyspirit into your life and he will reveal the unknown part of you ( Man has the known and unknown self) 2.Check your self , i.e what you do, where you go, how you interact with people,check all that you do that makes people never want to associate with you.
Glorify God in all that you do, if you have found your self in messy cases, don't worry , all God needs from you is true repentance and leave the rest to him, he will work it out.
God bless you. |
