What are you prophesying over your life?
Sometimes, the enemy doesn’t have to defeat us—we defeat ourselves. Pay
attention to what you’re saying. What are you prophesying over your
life? Make sure you are blessing it, not cursing it.
keep that person
A RELATIONSHIP is not about having a handsome boyfriend or having a
beautiful girlfriend. It’s not about looking for a perfect person
because there isn't any perfect person on earth. It’s not about looking
for a well off or a rich person. Having a lot of money doesn't mean that
one has too much pure love. MONEY CAN’T BUY LOVE.
A relationship is about finding someone who respects you, who cares about you in anyway h/she can afford, who understands you, who is proud of having you, who loves you the way you are. Who is faithful to you, who knows how to comfort you, who knows to encourage you and who would accept the worst of you & who will go through everything without giving up on you. Such people are very rare to find these days.
If you have got one, just keep that person. Handle him or her with care, be honest & contented with that person and don’t ever thing of hurting & letting down of that special person..... heart

Fogiven and Forgiven
A little boy visiting his grandparents and given his first slingshot. He
practiced in the woods, but he could never hit his target. As he came
back to Grandma's back yard, he spied her pet duck.
On an impulse he took aim and let fly. The stone hit, and the duck fell dead. The boy panicked. Desperately he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to look up and see his sister watching.
Mary had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day, Grandma said, "Mary, let's wash the dishes ." But Mary said, "Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today. Didn't you, Johnny?" And she whispered to him, "Remember the duck!" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing. Grandma said, "I'm sorry, but I need Mary to help make supper." Mary smiled and said, "That's all taken care of. Johnny wants to do it." Again she whispered, "Remember the duck." Johnny stayed while Mary went fishing.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Mary's, finally he couldn't stand it. He confessed to Grandma that he'd killed the duck. "I know, Johnny," she said, giving him a hug. "I was standing at the window and saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you.
I wondered how long you would let Mary make a slave of you." Guilt is based on the fact that someone knows that they have violated Gods righteous law. To deal with this we confess our sins to God.
This means that we honestly agree with him that we have done wrong and we stop giving excuses. Godly sorrow moves us to make permanent changes that break that cycle of guilt and sinful behavior.
There is also another kind of guilt that is false. This is based on personal feelings rather than facts. Satan accuses forgiven sinners and causes them to live a defeated life by reminding them of former things they did or did not do. Remember the duck?
Satan wants you to think that God is disgusted with your behavior and that you are hopeless. Have you believed the enemies lies? Has guilt kept you from living a victorious life? Have you truly repented?
If you have repented then remember Romans 8:31-35 (NIV) What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
If you are truly guilty then ask for forgiveness and God will forgive you. If you are falsely guilty arise above the devils accusations and remember nothing can separate you from the love of God. Don’t look at the rear view mirror but look through the windscreen into the bright future that God has for you.

7 Things to NEVER Say to Your Husband
7 Things to NEVER Say to Your Husband
One of the best things about marriage is that you can say anything
and everything that you want to say to your husband. However, is it
really a wise idea to say everything to your husband? Fact is that
sometimes ugly truth comes out in a hurtful way if you don’t watch your
mouth. Even though what you say may be logical it has to be said in a
manner which is not harsh and does not hurt your husband’s feelings.
Everyone has some problem or other but couples should learn the skill of
speaking kindly.Following are some samples of things you might say that can be worked on:
• You’re just like your father:
Saying this to your husband should be avoided as this may be his fear, that the worst traits of his family are exhibited by him. Instead of comparing him with his father, you can go directly to your point. If your father-in-law does not value time and is often late and you think your husband also does this, explain the importance of time management to him affectionately instead of criticizing.
• When are you going to find a new job:
First, why do you want him to find a new job? Is it the amount of time that he spends away from home that bothers you or do you think that he can do better in his career? Be clear about your thinking before you say anything that might hurt him. A man evaluates himself by the way he takes care of his family and insulting him in such a sensitive area is not a good idea. The solution is to talk about your issues with him then find solutions together that both of you can work toward.
y mother warned me you would do this:
This is the last thing he would like to hear from you. You would probably say this when you are infuriated but by saying this you are letting him know that there are others on your side. This can also feel like a breach of the sanctity of marriage, to discuss perceived failings to others. Come directly to the point you are trying to make instead of informing him what others think.

• Just leave it, I will do it myself:
This can hurt your husband in two ways: First it raises questions about your husband’s elemental need to be a provider, supporter, and capable person in the house, while conveying to your husband that his efforts are sub-par.
• “You always …….” Or “You Never…..”
Its advisable for couples to drop these phrases from their vocabulary, using them sets a negative tone, stops communication, and forces the other person to be defensive.
• Oh! We have to hang out with him again:
If he has any friend whose company is not comfortable for you, don’t force him to leave his friend, instead let him spend time with his friend and you can do something you want to do, or compromise.
• Please watch the kids. Don’t be careless, don’t do this….
A new mom is often nervous and tends to be over-cautious in terms of her child. Just be a little careful while trying to instruct your husband as he should not feel that you know everything and he knows nothing, it’s his child too.

The power of small things
We are so blinded by the big things we think we out to have, we end up
missing out on the small things that God can use.God will always ask you
what you have in your hand because he is the one who gave it to you and
unless you recognize it then you will miss your miracle.
This one thing is for sure “nobody has nothing everybody always has something no matter how small” In John 6 all that was available were 5 loaves and 2 fish and look at what the Lord did with that once it was put in his hands.
Moses the great man of God only had a staff…..an everyday normal looking kind of stick that shepherds used but look at what it turned out to be in the hands of a mighty God!
Do not say that you have nothing….only a little money…only a little education….only a little faith, don’t you know that all you require is faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain?......a little a little a little.
That is all God is looking for, a little. Take stock of what you have. What do you have that you can bring to God and ask Him to bless? Your voice, skills, abilities…….what?
There my friend lays your miracle! I can’t finish here I just had another thought……..oil represents the anointing; the more it was poured into other vessels the more it kept flowing.
It still looked small from the container it was flowing from but it was a lot when you looked at the containers it was filling and it only stopped flowing when it stopped filling other containers.
The loaves and the fish looked small as they were being broken but the more they were distributed the more they multiplied.
The small you have will always remain small if it stays in your hands…the multiplication effect comes when you forget about yourself and start being a blessing to others though you may need it more….dont hold on to what you have….
pour into someone else besides don’t you remember the other widow in 1 Kings 17? When she fed the prophet first instead of herself and her son, then she never lacked!

Whispers in the Night
Whispers in the Night
I wish to highlight
The mood is right
On this spotlight
In this twilight
Hold me tight
I feel light
Do it right all night
In you I delight
You are my knight
I wish to highlight
The mood is right
On this spotlight
In this twilight
Hold me tight
I feel light
Do it right all night
In you I delight
You are my knight
At Times
Times
Time comes running
Opportunities comes crawling
Space does not go anywhere
Sun and moon keep moving people
Stars come when time and opportunities meet people
Chance runs when people have time and space but no opportunity
Clouds cover sun and moon,
Time when space is fed with rain
Sun shines on people with time and space
Moon lights opportunities when there is no time
Times come when moon and sun leave leave room for each other
Time comes running
Opportunities comes crawling
Space does not go anywhere
Sun and moon keep moving people
Stars come when time and opportunities meet people
Chance runs when people have time and space but no opportunity
Clouds cover sun and moon,
Time when space is fed with rain
Sun shines on people with time and space
Moon lights opportunities when there is no time
Times come when moon and sun leave leave room for each other
