Position Yourself


Where you are, is very important for where you’re going. At times, we get frustrated because we feel stuck and stagnant, like there’s no progress, whereas other people are finding success and making big leaps in their lives. That may be due to many reasons from your side and the progressing person’s side, but once you take account of where you are and become honest about how you got there, you will start to see solutions for the future rather than being stuck in the mindset of being surrounded by problems.


Solutions provide hope and a way forward. A way to get yourself out of difficult situations that you never thought you’d find yourself in. Remember though, finding yourself is exactly why you are in that situation. Once you uncover your true self and become honest about who you are, that is when the situation will start to shift and change towards your benefit.
While you wait for the progress and the change to come, you need to prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for your dreams coming true and invest in improving your abilities and knowledge for where you see yourself going. That way, once the opportunity arises for you to step up, you will find yourself well prepared to take on whatever new things that the opportunity brings and not losing yourself in the process because you will have already learned about what is right and wrong in your eyes.

In everything and while you’re going through the valley, remember that all things come to an end so that they make way for new things. You are meant to GO THROUGH, not dwell or die in the valley. Therefore, take up all that belongs to you, have faith and look towards the brightness that awaits you on the other side.


Cheers,
Mapula V.

    Hi Sesi Mapula
    Thank you for the relatable posts as usual. I can always apply them to my life.

    I think we should always strive to become the ultimate best versions of ourselves. We want to reach higher and explore all avenues of ourselves. I have picked up a slogan that says "who dares wins" and that is very true for a lot of us. We have to dare to go in full pursuit of our dreams. We have to dare to think we deserve that promotion, or business or material posessions and academic qualifications. But also we have to dare to put in the work, to network our products to meet up with the people who hold the key to the next door in our pursuit of our destinies. We have to relentlessly participate in the manifestation of our own blessings. And we have to do all we can to break the stagnation in our lives.It's not enough to just wait for our dreams to materialize and fall on our laps on a silver platter.

    Cheers

A Friend That Sticks Closer Than A Brother

Acts 11:16 AMPC‬ "Then I recalled the declaration of the Lord, how He said, John indeed baptised with water, but you shall be baptised with (be placed in, introduced into) the Holy Spirit." Baptised with water means that we are submerged into and are completely taken over by water. Baptised with the Holy Spirit means that we are submerged into and are completely taken over by the Holy Spirit. There is no part of our existence that is outside of the Spirit of God. Scripture states that the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. meaning that everything happens with Him and through Him. Therefore, we have to realise and accept in our minds just as we did in our spirits, that the Holy Spirit is part of who we are. There is no compromising that. Everything we do, feel, experience and say also affects Him. When compromise and negotiate God's will for the sake of being accepted by others or for whatever other reason we may give ourselves, we grieve the One closest to us. The

HAPPY 2020 FREE! I'm back!  Thank you to all of you who have been so kind as to motivate me to come back and to even start a vlog. Good news - my YouTube channel is in progress and will be launching soon. So, a lot has happened and I am ready now to tell you all about it, in the hope that it'll help and inspire you.  In 2020, I lost my mother and thought that it would be easy to deal with seeing that I am a fully grown adult who is capable of taking care of herself and her own children, but I was wrong. It was just as painful losing my mother as it was losing my father 20 years prior, as a teenager. A part of me was gone and I would never see someone I knew my whole life ever again. Someone who gave me my identity and helped shape who I am. It was the toughest thing I had ever dealt with.  Shortly  after that, we found out that we were pregnant. Initially, it was a shock as she was not planned. I had resolved it in my heart that I would be a mom to boys and that at least my mom

Wives, submit to your husbands!

Image
Once you have chosen a husband and have made a commitment and a covenant with him in front of God, you follow God's instructions on marriage and one of those instructions is to submit to your husband. I struggled with this for a while because I didn't understand the fullness of the kind of submission that is required and also because of internal issues that I had to deal with in order to fully submit to God and, in turn, my chosen husband. I enquired of the Lord and received the following epiphany. I hope it helps you in your walk of marriage. Cover his heart. The woman was created from the rib of a man, which is covering the man's heart. Without the covering, the heart is exposed. Without the covering his posture is distorted. Without the covering, his head that carries his kingship is compromised. The heart represents his vulnerabilities. A man hardly expresses his feelings, the heart contains them and the ribs protect the heart. He can be a king when you submit under him
