Game face on for 2012

Got my game face on for 2012 means achieving, achieving and more acieving.
This will require determination and prayer.
I wana be at the top of my game in the property industry.
This will require practical and educational enhancement.
So I'm going back to school and learning as much as I can at work.
All of this I place it in Gods hands.

What we believe is what will come to our lives. The bible in hebrews 11:1 it says " now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"
mark 9:23 "Jesus said to him, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes"
So whatever you believe in, bad or good, negative or positive. If you believe it, it will come true.
So if faith, believing in something makes it come true, what we believe in will determine the course in which our life takes.
The things which come into our mind or let in are what we end up believing in, so we have to be violent as to what teachings we let in.
Romans 12:2 ''but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think''
So we can be transformed into successful, healthy, blessed, favoured by changing the way we think, the way we think transforms us and our lives.
So choose wisely on the teachings that you let into your mind, cause whats in your mind is what you think about. Be violent on what you let in your brain, cause it will determine your life.
Personally the grace message by Joseph Prince is what I choose to let in my mind.
This world was made by faith filled words, faith is powerful, what you believe in will also create your world.

I saw this quote by Steve Biko which said something like, the greatest tool of the oppressor is the mind of the one who is being oppressed.
The mind is powerful, the way we feel is dictated mainly on how we've allowed ourselves to think about something.
The more bad thoughts we allow to filter through our mind, the more uneasy we'll feel about a certain situation, and our feelings will be a huge influence on how we act.
You can tell yourself anything, if we choose to dwell on negative thoughts, our feelings will be negative and we'll react negatively to that particular situation we find ourselves in.
So that means that we have more power than we have perceived over life, and we're really not the victims of circumstances.
If something bad happens in your life, you can choose how it'll affect you. If you see it as a lesson which has given you the opportunity to grow and make you a better person, you'll feel good about it as you know that it was for your greater well being and self improvement. If you decide to dwell on the negative, you might think to yourself that you're such an unlucky person, all the bad happens to you, no good will come to you, and as a result you'll be down hearted, sad and even depressed.
If your partner breaks up with you, you can learn from how you contributed to the end of the relationship, and use this gained knowledge to improve your next relationship.
If the person was just naturally mean then you can tell yourself that God has a more suitable mate for.
So choose your thoughts wisely and you'll experience more peace in life. Change your mind and change your life.

The love word

"Ladies Men arent complicated, if we say we love you and show it, its for real"

Quoting @Gentlemenlegacy from twitter.

Revelation on love

I've had a revelation of what love is. Its being selfless, where the other persons Joy is placed above your Joy and uncomfortability.
Its doing what you have to do (within sanity) to make the other person happy.
This is in a human love relationship.

Many couples are different, have different personalities.
This is how they can come into agreement, Quoting Joyce Meyer:

There are no two people who need to get in agreement more than a married couple. God has done so much for Dave and me since we have gotten out of strife and learned to humble ourselves to the point that we don't have to be right all the time. Many wars are started in our homes over unimportant issues that don’t matter, such as whether to turn left or right out of the neighborhood when both streets go to the same store. If you want to have power in your marriage and in your prayer life, then you have to get along. You can learn how to "disagree agreeably" without causing strife.


The big question is: How do people who are not of one mind learn to agree? Agreement comes when the people involved stop being selfish. A lot of adults still deal with selfishness. All that selfishness amounts to is, "I want what I want when I want it, and I don't really care what you want because I want what I want." Selfishness is an immature inward focus. If each one of us will learn to voice our wants, but choose what best serves everybody in the family, then we will find peace. The key is to care about what the other person needs, be willing to humble ourselves, and do what we can to meet those needs.

Also Joyce Meyer Continues to say on a different article:

Love is the highest form of maturity. It often requires a sacrificial gift. If love doesn't require some sort of sacrifice on our part, we probably don't love the other person at all. If there is no sacrifice in our actions, we are most likely reacting to something nice they did for us, or simply pretending to be kind to gain some control over them. Love is almost always undeserved by the person who receives it.
Our decisions should always have our spouse's interests in mind. Even a mediocre marriage requires sacrifice. It is important to understand that true love gives of itself.
Sacrifice means you are not going to have your way all the time. This means both the husband and wife are called to love each other with unconditional love. There has to be sacrifice of selfish desires if a couple is going to enjoy a triumphant marriage. As for me, every day when I get up, I choose to have a good marriage. I'm not leaving that one for chance to decide!

This is from Kenneth Copeland Ministries:

Strife is deadly. It opens the door for the devil to steal, kill and destroy our home life. Any time we’re in strife, we give the devil permission to take us captive—at his will. Second Timothy 2:24-26 says, “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

Strife gives the devil the upper hand! Throughout the Scriptures, God warns us about the danger of strife. Yet, it’s still one of the most common problems among believers. Of course, we don’t purposely let it in. We don’t wake up in the morning and say, “I think I’m going to stir up some major strife at home today.” We just inadvertently let it slip up on us—one minor irritation at a time.

If you have a tendency to let things irritate you, then decide to overcome that tendency. Take a big stand against those little opportunities for strife. If you’ve spent a lifetime getting your feathers ruffled over every little thing, it may take a while for you to break that habit, but you can do it. You may have to work at it a moment at a time, but when you do, you’ll be in a place where God can guide your steps and save you from some grave mistakes.

Strife feeds on selfishness. And one of the easiest places to remain selfish is with those dearest to you, in your own home. Being in front of other people often provides an added incentive to operate in love. You can find yourself being nicer and more courteous to friends and acquaintances than to your own family. At home with your family, temptation can come to allow selfish privileges that promote disharmony—as if selfishness had no consequences at home. You may find yourself saying things to those close to you that you wouldn’t dream of saying to anyone else. Thoughtless, hurtful words spoken to our spouse or children can set us up for a strife-ridden home life.

Disagreements happen in every relationship, but it’s more important to avoid strife than to appear justified in our opinions.

So how do we stop strife? We do it by going to the Word of God to seek His wisdom in settling disputes. The wisdom from above is peace, loving and easily entreated, willing to yield to reason.

A husband and wife will see things differently, but if they are both committed to the Word, strife can’t exist. If each of them walk in love and give the Word of God first place in their life (instead of selfish desires), Satan will have no foothold to bring disharmony and division. Allowing the Word of God to be the final authority in settling disagreements will take the pressure off everybody and it will restore harmony in your home.

A Christian husband and wife who learn to live and pray in harmony are mighty instruments of the Lord Jesus. When they agree and pray together about something, it will come to pass (Matthew 18:19). The rewards of living in harmony and backing each other with prayer are more than worth the effort it takes to walk in love with each other.

With God it means that we obey God even when it hurts, because we love him we strive to make him happy. Thats why the apostle Paul said he dies to self 1 corinthians 15:31 "i face death every day and die to self. He dies to making his life about making himself happy, but it's about making God happy, cause he loves God (Jesus Christ).He dies to the selfishness of making himself happy but to making God happy. Selflessness means that we move from making our lives about us, but out God.


1 John 2 : 5, "but those who obey God's word truly show how completly they love him"

In a relationship there's three people, God, your partner and you. Your love should be guided with making God happy.
Ecclesiasted 4:12
"Three are even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken"

letting go

My pray, is for God to help me let go of literally everything in my past. I've been seeing so many posts on my facebook about letting go of the past. Such as, '' if u carry bricks from your past relationship to the new one you will build the same house'' and in order for God to do a new thing with you must be willing to let go of your past.

closing the doors behind me...Gods about to bless me today.

Just taking myself back to a time when I'd decided a certain degree concentration was not for me,so I changed, even universities.. People were saying that I wouldn't graduate. Through God I did graduate in record time..When it seemed like I couldn't get a job. My Jesus blessed me with a job, in a different beautiful city,place to stay that 15min walk to where I work. Now with relationships I need to believe that this same God who moved for me then,will move for me now. Just cos i didnt get a job in the past, didnt stop God from given me a job in now. Failing to complete a course,didnt mean I'd fail again, I've now graduated. So just cause I've failed in my past relationships it doesn't mean I'l fail in the future.

Galatians 3

Its seems like the church of galatia were being exposed to teachings which were contrary to the gospel. Even at the end of timothy 2, the last chapter. Paul warns timothy that in the end times people will be teaching myths. As much as the book of proverbs tell us to guard our hearts. We need to guard our faith. We live by faith and not our sight, so if what we live by is polluted by various teachings, this would end up spilling over into our the lives we live cos its our faith that coordinates our lives. There are so many ministries and teachings out there. Think one way in which I'll filter which teachings are of God is through ''the good news category.'' The gospel of Jesus christ is said to be the gospel of the good news. Also veryfying what's been taught with teachings of the new testament. If it doesnt coresspond,then its not of Jesus. So many people are preachers,and we really need to guard what we believe & take in cause it will affect our faith and so therefore our lives.

what I forgot.

my longest and lasting relationship was one in which i actually went out of my way to make it work, I was the perfect girlfriend and I made sure of it... I gave and showed love.

Think through the years, after that, I lost my touch... Mainly cause I was scared of being hurt again.

Think I have to go back to that again...

God has not forgot.

Waiting for love, It's so hard especially when all you see are happy couples. You're like when will my time come, I'm tired of kissing frogs. Many know the feeling. However I believe that God knows best. While we wait,we can either be negative and frustrated,or wait in faith and be happy. Believe that he has your love story already written. I remember when I couldn't land a job. I was beyond frustrated. I remember my one friend saying that it's because we were born out of wedlock,cause all our friends were happily working. Guess what,now we've both got jobs that make sense in terms of our careers,with reputable companies in good areas. God has not forgotten bout anyone of us, he has our lives in his hands. While we wait, lets wait in patience and faith.

What went wrong?

My mind is racing, the speed of my heart is accelarating, I ask myself and God ''what went wrong?'' I need to know the truth so I can be set free. All I know is the repetitive wisdom which has shone itself in my life each year... ''God has something better for me'' and that is enough to calm the storm in my soul.

fighting on our knees.

One of my favourite bible stories is that of the Israelites journey into the promised land,the land of abundance. The very beginning of their journey is lined with stories in which beautiful treasures of wisdom lie. Right now what I'm going through has made me realise that the Israelites did not only have to fight for occupancy of the promised land, but once they'd become its inhabitants they had to fight to retain it. Enemies tried to stop them from entering the promised land and once they lived in the land there were nations coming against them trying to drive the israelites out of the land. But throughout the first testament we see that aslong as these people (Israelites) remained in obedience to God, the lord Jesus fought for his people and he'd always win victory for them. One of my favourite stories where the lord Jesus fights and wins for the Israelites is in 2 chronicles 20. Today we fight on our knees through prayer, and romans 8:37 say we are more than conquers through christ Jesus.Dont think you can rest once you've recieved your blessing, even though the Israelites had occupied the promised land,enemies tried to steal the land away. The bible says satan is a thief (John 10:10) ask God to protect your blessings just as he did for the nation or Israel.

I'm the type of girl who dates a guy who views certain imperfections as a form of attraction.
I realise that no one is perfect and so i seek what matters the most in a relationship, a lover of Jesus Christ, selflessness, a good heart,hardworking intelligent nd wise mind,love and respect.

This is because we've all got a past, whether good or bad, it is this past that shapes us.
If we've been heartbroken we learn to be more causcious in giving our hearts in the future.
If we look for a partner thats perfect, we'll die trying cause they only exist in hollywood chic flicks.

I have a past, I've been through alot & experienced things which have left me emotionally bankrupt. So I'm not perfect, but had I not gone through it, I'd be a shallow individual with no form of appreciation or gratitude.
Can I say I'm grateful for what I've been through, no I'm not,pain is not something that I'd want to put my soul through again.
But through it all I am a better person cause of it.


I also expect the man that I'm dating to take my persoa

His heart

Your mode of entry into my life was friendship,the way you treated me left my heart yearning and aching for something deeper.
Now that it's deeper the language and the actions which are birthed from your soul make me realise that the others from the past had to go, cause a place in my heart was being prepared only for you.

Why do I still plan?

I don't know why I still plan my week, my month just my life in general. I swear I have a great time when I haven't planned for something. When I do plan out what something will be like, it never lives up to my high expectations and then I get all dissapointed.
I just need to take each day as it comes.

learning to trust my intuition.

One thing I've learn't is that there is no one size fits all in life, we all have different experiences and stories.
I Was watching basketball wives last night and I could totally feel the one wife. What happened was, that all the other wives had already decided what the future of her marriage was gona be like. They based this on what had happened to their marriages. They believed that because she was just another basketball wife, her marriage was doomed for failure. The thing is her husband wasn't like their husbands, she knew the elements of her marriage. She had something good going on with her man, and it was just quite sad how people thought it was gonna fail just cause theirs had.

You just gotta know yourself and situation well cause people can end up leading you astray.
For example your friend might strip for her boyfriend on his birthday and his reaction might have been really positive and thought she's the best girlfriend ever. Then you attempt the same thing for your boyfriend and he becomes utterly disgusted by what you did. See it's about knowing your situation and the unique elements in it, then making a decision from that and not from what your friend has gone through.
Yeah we might all experience the same thing when it comes to certain situations like for example baby mamas, mostly all the time, they do infact create drama, it is what it is. Il never know why until I have my own baby (hopefully in wedlock), so I aint about to judge them cause I aint walking in their shoes.
But then I really feel like I need to trust my own intuition, I can't rely on peoples advice cos what I've realised is that most people just think you're gonna relive what they've been through, they base their advice on their own experiences. Honestly every situation is unique and has elements which make it differ from everyone elses, and these elements are what I should base my decision on and not what people say.
Also I always seem to think that history is gonna repeat itself in my life and thats just as bad as thinking that I'm gona relive someone elses experience.
So thats where I'm at right now...learning to trust my own advice and intuition and I'm just gonna step away from relying solely on peoples experiences and advice in trying to make a decision...

Women, the dark side.

My one friend said when a guy she's dating tells her that he's close to his mom, sister or aunt, basically just any female in his family, her heart turns. I know what causes her to say that, you get women who are very acidic, who size women up and always find something negative to say bout someone. The type who are never in lack when it comes to gossiping bout another lady.
Its so weird how I get women who are in my grans age group hating on me, by bringing up stuff they know will bring me down .
Or like you'll get a friends mother who tries to make sure her daughter keeps up with you, or wants to make sure she's beating you, ya but I must admit that lady is very special, I've hardly met any female like her.
And thats where this hatred comes from, tryna keep up with each other. Think we,myself included, should be grateful for what we have and not try to compete with each other.When its like that you gain so much peace in being yourself and working with the gifts you've got.
As Chris Rock said, women hate women, but honestly, we shouldnt hate each other.
