YOUR COUNSEL MAY NOT BE NEEDED

©TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

We can always give our piece of advice to people on issues, and at the same time, we must learn how not to enforce our opinion on people. Don't be Lords over people.

I have seen persons who became cold-hearted towards others who refused to take heed to their pieces of advice. You have given your own opinion, you may follow it up with prayers if it will be needful.

I read a story online of a brother who rained curses on a sister just because she rejected his proposal. The guy was like if you don't marry me, you won't find anyone interested in you again.

Even Jesus never forced anyone to follow him.

I was surprised when I read 2 Samuel 17:23 where Ahithophel hung himself when his counsel was not followed. What an angry man!

That act of yours that always want people to do everything you say, to follow you without thinking twice is bewitchment. And bewitchment is not an attribute of a true Son of God.

Naomi could have forced Ruth and Oprah to follow her, but she left them to their opinions. Ruth made the decision on her own to follow Naomi and we know the rest of the story. It was glorious for her.

The lesson is that, do not enforce your opinion on people. You can only advise. The best you can do for the person is to pray that God convince such if you are sure that's the right thing.

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy. I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me. So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms. For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things. A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray. CAUTION: Don't pray amiss. The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right? God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning. When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...
