QOTD: how have you been reacting to the unexpected situations in your life?⁣

⁣

obscurity is defined as:⁣

the quality of being difficult to understand or a thing that is unclear or difficult to understand⁣

⁣

we all go through seasons of obscurity that we may never understand or the purpose of that season until a whole new season is birthed. it’s in these times where we really need to cling to God more than ever. He knows what you’re going through, and He knows how to get you out. no matter how hard the situation is, don’t give up, look to Jesus and trust He will deliver you from it. DON’T GIVE UP, YOU’VE COME THIS FAR!⁣

⁣

“ Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. “ - James 1:12 (ESV)⁣

⁣

learn to embrace the seasons of obscurities in your lives because once you understand the fruits of the season; you blossom♡⁣

QOTD: do you believe in the true gospel or one you’ve just created? ⁣

⁣

it’s very easy for us to miss the point when it comes to the gospel. this world is so materialistic and is always fascinated on the creation and not the creator. the gospel isn’t about us, but about God and the sacrifice He made in order to demonstrate His love for us and to save us from sin, death & yourselves. ⁣

⁣

“ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. “ - Romans 5:1-2⁣

⁣

the gospel isn’t about you, but it’s for you♡

QOTD: what does it mean to be a true Christian?⁣

⁣

nowadays, everyone has their opinion on what a christian should be. however, those expectations aren’t devised on Biblical teaching but just mere emotions⁣

⁣

as victor said, when someone comes to tell you something about your faith - WORK IT OUT. even if they say 2+2=4, yes it sounds correct but work out for yourself why it is correct⁣

⁣

when you come to a TRUE BIBLICAL understanding of what it means to serve God, to deny yourself and follow Him, nothing will stop you from doing DAILY⁣

⁣

come to your own BIBLICAL understanding of God, not somebody else’s⁣

⁣

“ Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” - Luke 9:23 ♡⁣

QOTD: what can you do to ensure that you’re progressing each day?⁣

⁣

We need to realise that everyone’s race & relationship with God is unique. remember that everyone’s race is different, different lengths, different paces and different goals. never lose sight of your OWN relationship with God. keep pushing forward! ⁣

⁣

Abraham waited 25 years for his blessing. Daniel was consistent for 21 days. Joshua persevered for 7 days. Everything is personal! ⁣

⁣just ensure that you have tunnel vision on your own journey and you never lose sight of the goal.⁣

⁣

progress is still progress after all♡⁣

QOTD: how are your fruits? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

“Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,” - Matthew 3:8 ⁣⁣

your fruits should show that you’ve given up sin⁣⁣

⁣⁣

apostle paul said “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away;” - 2 Corinthians 5:17⁣⁣

⁣⁣

so if you say you’ve given your life to Christ, why are your fruits still the same as to when you were in the world? this is not a post to judge you, but to get you to think! because boy, i sure do have a lot of seeds to be planting myself. just know you’re not alone and God is watching you every step of the way!⁣⁣

⁣⁣

carrying on planting and allowing God to garden♡

QOTD: is it the devil making things go wrong in your life or simply just your decisions?⁣

⁣

the devil has been rooming this earth for countless of years. he has been studying human behaviour longer than any psychologist and trust me, he has a bachelor’s degree in it. the devil studies you - you’re weaknesses, your strengths, your desires. he KNOWS what he can possibly do to make you fall. but the one thing is..... THE DEVIL CANNOT READ YOUR MIND !⁣

⁣

the devil likes to attack people’s minds because when you have a negative outlook on your situation, it’s hard for you to overcome but...⁣

⁣

“ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. “ - Ephesians 6:10-11⁣

⁣

decide to take back your mind today, become stronger in you mind and develop your mindset, meditate on Gods words.⁣

⁣

with God on your side, you can conquer anything♡

QOTD: what have you been ignoring about yourself?⁣

⁣

it’s easy to look to others because we can see them at any time without any diligent work. however when it comes to ourselves, it harder because diligence, perseverance and patience is required. looking to others won’t get rid of the complexes within yourselves. ⁣

⁣

unfortunately, it makes them worse as you allow them to grow and develop more - causing it to take root (and those are always hard to uproot)⁣

⁣

decide today to disconnect from others and look within yourself, dealing with those inner battles you’ve been putting off.⁣

⁣

“Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” - Psalm 55:22⁣

⁣

there is no triumph without trial♡

QOTD: what made you stop seeing your potential?⁣

⁣

the devil and his demons are extremely good at what they do. they know how to work to hold people back especially in people's minds. ⁣

so how can one overcome this?⁣

⁣

humble yourself before God, recognising you are nothing without Him as well as becoming mentally tough and thick skinned⁣

⁣

“ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. “ - James 4:7⁣

⁣

allow the peace of Christ to rule your mind♡

QOTD: when was the last time you sat down to appreciate life?⁣

⁣

no matter what we do, life always goes on - don’t try to speed it up or stop it. the thing about grasping after the wind is that you’ll never achieve it, EVER. life is unpredictable and uncertain. but the one certain thing is Jesus. in Him you can be certain of your salvation, of your future after earth, certain of your happiness and peace. stop chasing what the world says to chase, it will always be out of reach. but instead chase God. chase eternal life. chase true life.⁣

⁣

“ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. “ - John 14:27 ♡⁣

“Trust in Him at all times, oh people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us." - Psalms 62:8⁣

⁣

It's easy to trust God when things are going well, but we must believe in Him in all times - even the difficult. He will be there for us through it all. God is not a man that He should lie, so if He said in His Word: He WILL be with us, He WILL heal us, He WILL give us peace and take away all our fears if we humble ourselves...⁣

HE WILL DO IT ⁣
