LOYALTY AND DISLOYALTY: STAGES OF DISLOYALTY PT2

Good morning gracious family. Hope you are doing great. Happy weekend.

Well we will be continuing from yesterday's post on the stages of disloyalty...Today we would be looking at the third and fourth stages respectively.

A quick reminder: Yesterday we looked at the stage of Independence wherein we saw an independent person does what he feels like doing irrespective of the laid down rules but we are advised not to be like that. Also we saw the stage of offence where a disloyal person is always offended due to hurts or past experiences and the only way forward is to love in order to practice loyalty.

Today we are looking at Passivity as the third stage of disloyalty.
Passivity: Passivity means to be indifferent, unconcerned and uninvolved. A passive christian is a disloyal one. The uninvolved person is not involved for a reason. Passivity is doing nothing and saying nothing !!  Always ask are you happy ?  And make sure that those around you are secure and content. Passivity always leads to critical stage which is the fourth stage of disloyalty.

Critical stage: Critical stage is the stage of noticing and magnifying faults. He finds faults with the preaching of the word, with teachers,with boss and fellow workers, even with family members. Example is seen in the story of Miriam and Moses in Numbers 12:1... Miriam had leprosy for speaking against God's servant, Moses her brother as well. Critical stage criticizes and scrutinizes. A hypercritical atmosphere neither helps preaching nor any other adventure.. If you look at something with critical eyes, you will see only imperfections which could lead to deception. See only with the eyes of God which is the eyes of love.

Wow....always know you are the best person to tell yourself the truth. So please look within yourself and remove any trace of disloyalty. Thanks for staying till the end with me. Pls share the link to someone else and comment if you can. Thanks. Once again HAPPY WEEKEND DEAR.

Much Love 😘

EXCELLENCE

" Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm".(Daniel 6:3) Excellence in simple terms is surpassing laid down standards...going above the ordinary...it is doing the right thing the right way,the first time. As a child of God..the question shouldn't be if you can be excellent in everything about you...because when you got born again you received automatically the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of excellence. So you have what and all it takes to be excellent. Personally I love to be practical and bring down things to base level. It scratches me eyes and gets me thinking when I see people type or write and send their works without going through them..leaving the plenty grammatical blunders obviously staring at you. Now excellence is after you write, or do anything be patient enough to pause and go through your work,erase any mistakes, proof read them a...

THE VALUE FOR TIME

Image
" See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.(Ephesians 5:15-16)". Time is one of the most valuable resources given to us and you get what you make out of it. Time is a gift given to us by God Almighty... and as such it ought to be treasured. Just like every resource we have, you are going to be responsible and accountable for the resources given to you. In essence you are going to account for this time, and what will be in your time-account? Time they say is money... If you can equate your time spent to money received from time then you will know your value for time based on how much you make.  Just like some people don't know the value for money and think it should be spent and wasted, same way most people don't know the value for time and thus waste time and spend it on unproductive things. To make the use of your time, you have to be investment-conscious. How do you start your day? How yo...

DETERMINATION

Image
Good evening dearie...Hope you have been awesome.. Yeah today's post is coming now but it's better late than never. I'm committed to helping you discover yourself on a daily basis, hence the push to still put something down today. Today we will be summarizing all we have been saying this week so far in just one word: Determination. What is determination? It is a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of the obstacles. It occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate one's behavior towards achievement of that goal. Let me paint the picture clearer this way?  Is the task before you difficult? Obviously yes. But can you quit or give up? The answer is NO and that's in simple terms DETERMINATION. So it's all about keep pushing, keep putting efforts until you get the goal in the midst of weakness, tiredness, 'no head way';  cos something really it's happening.... So don't give up on thos...
