When You Are Faced Between Obeying God or Man.

'And 
Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people,  and obeyed their voice' (1Samuel 15:24).

Acceptance comes with great delight. Desiring acceptance has led many astray. That is why many folks today no longer live their lives; they focus more on what people say and think of them. Today people post their nude pictures on their social media profiles just to gain more followers and likes. 

Seeking to always please men and women can be very costly. A lady after dressing and going out, and nobody tells her you are beautiful, comes back feeling depressed saying to herself, maybe I am no longer beautiful. Why do people hate me? She will forget that God has already approved of her in His Word when He said 'You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Seeking God's approval comes with you doing the right thing at all times irrespective of human influence. We should be like Joseph who chose to please God instead of pleasing his mistress. Choosing to please God comes with better glory. In the case of Joseph, had Joseph decided to please her mistress the highest the woman would do for him was to recommend him to her husband so that he can get a government job since the husband was a government official and that would be all? Whatever you think sin can give you, faith in God can give you something better. Joseph a slave became second in command in a foreign land all because he sought to please God instead of man. The Bible tells us that when we choose to please man instead of God we enter a trap. "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverb 29:25).

They are no doubt that God positioned men to be of help but we must know that it is your faith in God that drives this for no man can sincerely help you if God is not involved. Nehemiah got favor from the King after he sought God's face. "... And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me". (Nehemiah 2:8).

PRAYER: Father, I thank you, for today is the day you have made I will rejoice and be glad in you. Lord as I know that seeking you always comes with a better glory, help me to stand firm in doing your will always. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

VALUE FOR TIME

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Our entire life is measured by time. Your success and achievement are directly proportional to the time invested therein. To the one that is a medical doctor, for instance, it means that he has invested 5 or 6 years of his time in learning and acquiring knowledge to practice as a medical doctor. It, therefore, means that he traded time for the skill. We have a period here on earth to fulfill our purpose. It would be suicidal to attempt to waste it for we have but one life.  Helpful Topic: Motivational Quotes For Women.

Move On

" ...: _but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward calling of God in Christ Jesus_ ". Philippians 3:13-14 The past is always going to be the way it was, so stop trying to change it. Your future contains more happiness than any past you remember. Believe strongly that the best is yet to come. Today we remember Paul more as an Apostle of Christ than a persecutor of Christians. He never had the opportunity to be with Jesus physically but he had more revelation of Him than the other Apostle that was with Jesus. He was never ashamed and went about preaching the Gospel of Christ. Each time he remembers his past, he will try to forget and move on. "... this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind..." (Philippians 3:13-14). God through Apostle Paul performs great miracles. God is very good at changing ugly situations to pleasant situations if you believe He can do
