LET MEN BE MEN!

Ladies give your husband a break. Stop judging them, criticizing them, constantly battering them with your words and crushing their egos. Stop trying to make them like you, they will never be like you. They were made from DIRT!

They are not innately suave, delicate and dainty. They do grubby things. Let them be! Many times, what you may be constantly complaining about is not illegal, unethical, immoral or even destructive.

Men, be nice to your wives. They were NOT made from dirt. They are innately delicate, refined, suave and sensitive. Stop treating them rough. Stop trying to make them like you. When you see them rough and rugged, it is often a defense mechanism created to protect their innermost being from past hurt. Treat them right and you will make them very happy and have a great marriage.

Paraphrased from P.J. Daniels

Barikiweni!

RUN JOSEPH RUN!


Sometimes the wisest cause of action is to RUN!!

Joseph did not enter into a discourse about "The dangers of extramarital affairs" with Photiphar's wife, he ran.

When the angel told Joseph [Jesus' father] that Herod was after the child, he didn't tell him to read "How to win friends and influence people" He told him to run!

When the Jews wanted to kill Paul, He did not try to win their favor by reciting the law, He ran!

On a number of occasions, when they wanted to kill Jesus, He "hid Himself and went His way" John 8:59

Some of you need to get out of the environment of those who are consistently tempting you, pressuring to do wrong or just plain trying to sabotage and destroy you. As you pray, as you regroup, as you get counsel, I decree that you know when it's time to go your way and save your life!

Sometimes the greatest faith is demonstrated through leaving!

PUT A RING ON IT!

It is a tragedy to spend so much [time, emotions, money, lyrics, romance] on the WRONG PERSON! It's heart breaking.

Be "stingy" with these heart investments until you are very sure about the person you are interested in. Let them qualify. And pliz don't spend your body on them if you are not married. It will hurt like nothing you can imagine, when you realize that they are wrong for you. God created that rule, to protect you!

You wouldn't entrust your money and your valuables to a stranger whom you have "good feelings" about, please don't expose your life and body to a person because of emotions. Be diligent in discernment.

THE CONFIDENT ROMANTIC

During dinner tonight, there was a trio guitarist troupe playing music. They began playing MALAIKA and I thought; Great song but has a defeatist, poverty & victim mentality. So here's Malaika for the visionary winner that's full of faith.

Malaika, nitakuoa malaika
Malaika, nitakuoa malaika
Najua nitafanyaje kijana mwenzio
Sishindwi na mali wala we
Nitakuoa malaika!

Guys, a few things are more attractive than a confident [not arrogant], faith filled man who believes that there is a way is willing to pay the price to make it.

Barikiweni!

REMEMBER: CHRISTMAS IS NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY!

One revelation that completely changed my life many years ago, was the realization that CHRISTMAS IS NOT MY BIRTHDAY!

I got over the hang-ups of stressing about who will buy ME a gift, who will invite ME for a party, who will send ME a card, what will WE cook, How will I make MY hair, what will WE wear...

It is a proven fact that most suicides and depressions peak at Christmas time. People get very introspective, lonely and self focused in a way that can be very detrimental at this time. The financial pressure is extreme for many and broken family relationships are also highlighted as everyone else seems to go home to be with their families. Be wise and remove the rampant selfishness from your Christmas celebrations. Also, don't allow yourself to be wooed and trapped into the mindless spending that gets many regretting and seriously struggling through the month of January.

Use this time instead to love others. You be the one giving and reaching out. Spend time with those you love. Really listen to them and be an encouragement. Don't just focus on food and stuff. This way, you will not be lonely or stressed because your focus is on being a blessing. In fact if you know Bible History very well, you probably know that it's not even Christ's accurate birthday. A lot of the hullabaloo is simply commercial. Turn it around and maximize being there and ministering the love of God to your family and friends.

Barikiweni!

THE END OF THE YEAR!

The end of a matter is better than the beginning. - Ecclesiastes 7:8

May this final month of the year be better than the rest that you have had. Instead of resigning and simply looking forward to another year, keep expecting good things and answers to prayer, to manifest within this year. It's not over, till it's over. May every blessing, every open door, every opportunity, every divine connection, every harvest, every advantage and every progress that you were to experience this year manifest NOW in Jesus' name.

May God crown your year with His goodness and cause your paths to drip with abundance - Ps 65:11
