ORDERED STEPS, ORDERED THOUGHTS


So yesterday, I was resting, and in my "half-awake-half-asleep" state, I remembered a friend; a friend I had tried to no avail to contact but simply couldn't reach for over a year. I wondered and was asking God what had happened to her, where she was, and what she had been up to..

Then I got up to check some messages on my phone.

The first message was from an unknown number and the person said she got my number somehow... Only for me to discover she was the person I was thinking about only a few minutes ago!

 You see, God sees our thoughts. In fact, you remember the verse that says, delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart? (Psa. 37:4) Well, I believe God wants to grant the desires of our hearts but He will do so only when those desires will bring Him glory. Hence, for those children of His who have allowed Him take control of their minds, He directs them to think the right thoughts so that as they think it, it just manifests!
 Of course, I got the answers to my questions: where she was, what happened to her and what she had been up to ;) Indeed, "the steps of the righteous are ordered by God" and "those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God" (Psa 37:23, Rom 8:14).

 The question then is, are you a son of a God? Are you part of the privileged group called "the righteous"? Have you allowed Jesus to take control of your life, including your thoughts? And you know, anyone who will successfully control his thoughts must also control the things his mind feeds on. I'm sure you know where I'm going already. Who gets to decide the songs, movies, books, videos, etc you feed your mind on? You or Him? Is He Master and Lord, or just Master?

 You see, my Master will most likely only be concerned with what I do for Him, however my Lord, is concerned with every area of my life. He is concerned with the nitty-gritties that make me who I am. In other words, He is LORD over every area of my life; note EVERY AREA.

 I congratulate you if He is your Master and Lord, but if He isn't, it's not too late. You can surrender to Him right where you are now and if you've never asked Him to come and reign in your life, kindly say the prayer by the left.

God wants to grant you the desires of your heart but there's a condition attached... He only grants those desires that will bring Him glory; the desires of His children.

 I trust you have been blessed just as I was.

 Your steps are ordered!

 Much love,
Precious.

Have you ever wondered how the negative occurrences that took place in your childhood didn't take you out? Some of us did really terrible things when we were young... I'm trying hard not to shake this table but I actually heard of someone who, while playing, locked himself up in the freezer when he was young! How did he survive it?! God alone knows!  Well, as I was saying before the diversion, some of us did terrible things when we were young but for some others, terrible things happened to us. Some were abused physically, sexually, mentally etc. in their childhood, some had a child/children out of wedlock, some were terribly ill, some experienced difficulties in learning, some had their parents abandon them, and some people (like me😂) were rescued from 'falling' into a relationship that would have landed them where they shouldn't be. Everyone has a different story to tell, but did it ever occur to you that you're standing because somehow those things didn'

Free Expert Editing for Authors and Startup Organisations

Hello! Welcome again to the blog!  I believe that your month went beautifully well -- goals were smashed, challenges were overcome, and you impacted at least one life positively. No worries if you still have some goals to smash. March isn't over yet😉  I come with exciting news! Tia Edits is currently running a free editing program for authors (or soon-to-be authors😎) and startup organisations . Yes, it's absolutely free. The need for this came while I was thinking about how to contribute to startup organisations by helping them push out error-free content. I also decided to add authors to the program because, as an author myself, I know how important the editing stage is to the success of any book. The package for authors includes editing three books from three authors over a period of 6 months, while that for organisations ( startups, small businesses,  online businesses etc.) includes editing the content of 2 organisations twice weekly, over a period of 2 months.  After tw

  Hey you! It's a been a whiiiilllllleee!😁 I know, and I apologise. I just kept saying "I'll write next month", until I went 3 months without writing! The dangers of procrastination😶 How have you been though? I trust all is well with you and yours. Today, I'd like to briefly share something that was on my heart at the beginning of the year and I've recently been reminded of. It took me a while to decide on what the topic would be as I wasn't sure how to capture it in one short phrase, but it became clear as I typed this. At the beginning of the year, we were told at my local assembly that it would be a year of wonders, and that God was set to work wonders in our lives. Of course, this got everyone excited as we anticipated the miraculous in every area of our lives. However, as I prayed that my family and I would see wonders, the Holy Spirit began to open my eyes to the fact that the wonders we were expecting wouldn't happen as many think; rather, it
