THE UPWARD LOOK

Aftermath of failures cum losses

Aftermath of distress cum disasters

Aftermath of anguish cum penury

Aftermath of confusion cum perplexities

A time of so many whys

A time of so many anxieties

A time of great controversies

A time of untold afflictions

Looking up! I murmured my rhetoric

Of reasons the ALMIGHTY seems afar off

Skeptics explanations a mere rhetoric

Why, seems an unlikely question God answers

It seems my experiences nothing compares

When in conflicts, seems the ALMIGHTY not bigger as my complaints

When comfort, encouragements elude me-taunts more

Return, my child, your safety cum breakthroughs surer than ever-echoed from on high

Turn and look up-He is ever-present

Turn and look up-His loving arms open wide with love

Turn and look-His marbled Word from the Book incontrovertible

Turn and look-salvation nearer than ever imagined

Omnipotent-so powerful is He-past finding out

Omnipresent-everywhere is He –even in pestilences

Omniscient-answers all things-perplexities, difficulties, controversies

Alpha & Omega-the One who begins, ends.

I may be afflicted, not crushed

I may be perplexed, not despair

I may be persecuted, not forsaken

I may be down, not destroyed

When my emotions changed-He is there

When my passion dies-He refreshes

When my burdens weigh me down-He gives me rest

When I’m lost – He gives direction, vision, guide and a future

He will come to me-when I want Him not

He is closer to me when downhearted-even in crushed spirit

He is so loving-even when I desire Him not

Where else can I turn to? Except,-THE UPWARD LOOK…

30 SIGNS OF IDENTIFYING TRUE LOVE

30 Signs to Identify True Love

1. You’re comfortable with each other, no matter what others say or do.
2. Plans are made and kept, or the excuse is true.
3. Time is always planned and reserved just for you.
4. Your needs are a top priority over most people and things.
5. Begging or pleading is not required for affection.
6. Family, friends, or work doesn’t compare to you.
7. Love stands up for you anytime there is trouble.
8. Attention and awareness is freely given, and faults are ignored or quickly forgiven.
9. There are no secrets regarding your relationship and it’s good companionship.
10. You’re not left lonely or alone, until your partner decides otherwise.
11. Good surprises, gifts of laughter, and togetherness often arise.
12. You will always be welcomed in your lover’s company.
13. No other lover exists in the mind of your partner. There is no competition.
14. There is constant and consistent contact showing care from each partner.
15. Love is not one-sided. If it is, or feels that way, then it’s likely unrequited.
16. Sharing is open, honest, and without hesitation.
17. Your lover seeks to understand your problems and frustrations.
18. You are worth more than the cost of anything they could buy.
19. There are answers to questions of where, when, how, or why.
20. No one walks away without a plan to return.
21. What your family and friends think does not impact your relationship.
22. You find comfort and clarity in your respective roles, and they feel whole.
23. Love doesn’t need to be chased, as it is easily found.
24. Your lifestyle doesn’t get in the way of a love which has no bounds.
25. It’s easy to forgive, forget, and move on when something goes wrong.
26. You don’t have to buy anything to make someone happy or feel strong.
27. Mind, body, and soul is appreciated and respected.
28. The relationship is worthy of safety and protection
29. There is a deep and profound connection.
30. “I Love You” is easy to say when other words fail or get in the way.
I’ve been in love, and I’ve also been hurt and sometimes I have hurt others. You’re the only one who can determine what’s happening to you.
If you find this list makes sense, then it’s likely love you’ve experienced. There are many things I could add, but most of us can recognize when a relationship is going nowhere or has turned bad.
Unrequited love does offer hope, as it gives us the reason and means to cope. There’s someone for everyone, so never allow you hope to come undone.
Just when you least expect it, I am certain you’ll find the one. In the meantime, let your mind be at ease. Live your life just as you are pleased. If a love doesn’t work out, then please remember it’s not all that your life it about. Count your blessings each given day. Happily wait until true love finds its way.
Dating is an excellent way to practice and play.

DANGEROUS TREND ON SOCIAL NETWORK

I'M REALLY DISTURBED AND MY SPIRIT VEXED WITH THE TREND I'M SEEING HERE AMONG NIGERIAN/AFRICAN YOUTH OF LATE.
MORALITY AND RESPECT FOR ELDERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SACRIFICED ON THE ALTER OF SHAMELESSNESS...
I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF INSULTING AND NAME-CALLING PEOPLE GOD HAS PLACED ON THE THRONE TO GOVERN OTHERS UNPRINTABLE NAMES ALL BECAUSE ONE FEELS THEY MAY BE WRONG...WHAT ARE OUR CONTEMPORARY CHURCHES/MOSQUES TEACHING ON OUR PULPITS? IS THIS TRULY WHAT CHRIST HAD PREDICTED THAT WOULD COME TO PASS AND NOW HAPPENING THROUGH SOME OF OUR HEADLESS YOUTH?
WORDS OF WISDOM:SPEAK NO EVIL AGAINST THOSE IN AUTHORITY OR YOU WILL BE PUNISHED(PROVERBS)CHILDREN OBEY YOUR PARENTS(ELDERLY PEOPLE OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR PARENTS) IN THE LORD(EPHESIANS).
GIVE RESPECT TO ELDERS AND DON'T CONDEMN THEM IN PUBLIC BUT ADMONISH THEM IN LOVE THROUGH THE RIGHT CHANNEL(TIMOTHY)
IS IT BECAUSE OF THIS WESTERNIZED CULTURE WE ARE OPPORTUNED TO IMBIBE WITH NO RECOURSE TO OUR AFRICAN VALUE SYSTEM?
OR DO WE THINK THAT TECHNOLOGY IS ABOUT THIS DEBASE MANNER OF DOING THINGS...
TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POWER TO RECREATE, CREATE AND DESTROY UTTERLY. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG AND WE MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED THEM...WHO IS TO BE BLAMED? BUT ONE THING STANDS OUT AS A ROOT CAUSE:
LACK OF FAMILY VALUES AND DESTRUCTION OF MORAL FOUNDATIONS FROM HOME AND CHURCHES.
NOW CHURCHES & MOSQUES PREACH PROSPERITY AND MATERIALISM
PARENTS RUN AFTER MATERIALISM NEGLECTING THEIR PRIMARY DUTIES AT HOME
CHILDREN NOW DETECT TO PARENTS THEIR WAY OF LIFE RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY
FEAR OF GOD IS NOW CONFUSED WITH FEAR MAN
SIN IS PAMPERED AND
COMPROMISE IS NOW THE IN-THING
GENUINE REPENTANCE IS LACKING
FEAR OF GUILT IS MISTAKEN FOR TRUE REPENTANCE FROM SIN
CHRIST VIRTUES DEPARTED MOST HOMES SINCE
WE PLAY ALONG WITH SIN NOW
MORALITY HAS GONE TO THE DOGS
PURE RELIGIOUS TENETS HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH PSYCHOLOGY AND EMPTY PHILOSOPHIES
NO STOUT DENOUNCING OF WRONG HABITS ARE HEARD ANYMORE ON OUR PULPITS
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION HAD BEEN WATERED DOWN WITH RHETORICS
AM-MORAL HABITS(DELIBERATE AND WILLFUL ACTS OF IMMORALITY) NOW A CULTURE
LOVERS OF SELF RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD
BIBLE PERILOUS TIME IS HERE:DISRESPECTFUL, DISHONOUR EVEN TO HOLY THINGS, LOVERS OF MONEY, LOVERS OF MATERIALISM, GODLESS GENERATION, IMMORAL GENERATION, PERVERT, GAY-ISM, LESBIANISM, SEXUALLY INTEMPERATE, INTEMPERANCE...ETC
HYPOCRISY (or EYE-SERVICE)NOW A WAY OF LIFE(CHRIST DENOUNCE THIS DEMON 103 TIMES IN THE BIBLE)
WHOLE EDUCATION IS NOW LACKING
BUT REMEMBER:
"EDUCATION WITHOUT GOD MAKE OUR YOUTH CLEVER DEVILS"
I REST MY CASE FOR NOW......
