GOD First. My writings are just reflections of my thought | Relatable Bible stories

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

The music started, and thousands of people dropped to their knees. But when the crowd settled, three men were still standing.

Nebuchadnezzar was furious. Yet instead of throwing them into the furnace immediately, he gave them one final opportunity: when the music plays again, bow and this problem disappears. - Daniel 3:14–15

Think about the temptation. One small compromise could save their careers, their comfort and, most importantly, their lives. Nobody needed to know what was really in their hearts.

But their answer stunned the king: “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… But if not… we will not serve thy gods.” - Daniel 3:17–18

The furnace was heated seven times hotter. They were tied up and thrown in. Even the soldiers who carried them there were killed by the flames.

Then Nebuchadnezzar suddenly stood up. Something was wrong with what he was seeing.

“Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? … Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire.” - Daniel 3:24–25

Notice this: they discovered the fourth Man after entering the furnace, not before. Sometimes God doesn't show you how He will sustain you until obedience has already cost you something.

That is faith for Monday morning, the workplace, business, relationships and everyday life: I will not lie to keep the deal, compromise my body to keep the relationship, manipulate figures to keep the job, or abandon my convictions simply because doing right has become expensive.

The greatest miracle wasn't merely that they survived the fire. It was that before they knew they would survive it, they had already decided who they would be inside it.

@BukolaOfGod__ Building yourself isn’t selfish; it’s what makes you less dependent on external validation. Just make sure “focus on yourself” doesn’t become an excuse to neglect the people and responsibilities that genuinely matter.

[BukolaOfGod @BukolaOfGod__]

Striving to do well for yourself should be your number one priority.

Build your life, secure your future, grow into the person you want to become, and create a life you can genuinely be proud of.

There will always be people to please, expectations to meet, and distractions competing for your attention.

But at the end of the day, you owe yourself the commitment to become better, stronger, and more fulfilled.

Focus on yourself first.
Everything else can come next.

@Wealth_ese1 Estate planning is really a form of responsibility, not pessimism.

The uncomfortable question isn't just “Who gets my assets?” but “What problems will my family inherit because I failed to make my wishes clear?”

[Wealthese @Wealth_ese1]

A man dies suddenly. No will, no trust.

He was healthy. Still building. Believed there was time.

Then a stroke, and decades of work sits frozen while family fights over who gets what.

It can take years and real money to untangle. Some of it never fully resolves.

Here's the distinction most people miss.

A will says who gets what after you're gone. It still has to go through probate, which can take months, longer if contested.

A trust can take effect immediately, often bypassing probate entirely.

It can protect a child's school fees from anyone but the child. Keep a spouse from being pushed out by extended family. Keep a business from being carved up by people who never built it.

Neither is just for the wealthy.

Start with a will. Simple, affordable, and it prevents most of the chaos alone.

Add a trust if you have a specific asset, child, or business you want protected with more control.

You don't do this because you expect to die soon. You do it because you don't choose when the unexpected happens, only whether you were ready.

Talk to a lawyer about which one fits you. Not financial or legal advice.

@Wealth_ese1 Thank you for this input

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

I’d tell my younger self: stop rushing, because speed without direction only leads to mistakes you have to fix later.

Take your time to learn the basics properly; that foundation will save you from confusion, stress, and wasted effort.

Not everything has to happen now; some of the best results come from patience, repetition, and small steady progress.

Build things slowly and with intention, because what lasts is usually what was made carefully.

Trust the process; the right timing matters, but so does the discipline to keep going even when results are not immediate.

[🎙️ StreetVoiceMedia @hendylolly]

StreetVoice question:

What's one thing you would tell your younger self if you had five minutes with them?

Mine would be:

"Stop rushing. Learn more. Build patiently."

[Wealthese @Wealth_ese1]

That’s wise counsel. I’d add that rushing often comes from fear of being left behind, but the people who last are usually the ones who were willing to look slow for a season. Learn the basics so thoroughly they become instinct then the later stages feel less like struggle and more like building on rock.

@TeemarhTheLight This is quite tempting😋

[Teemarh @TeemarhTheLight]

And to think Amala isn’t even my favourite food 😂 I still find myself eating it at least three times a week.

What are you having for lunch?

@deeeeoflagos As if marriage is an accomplishment.

[Ms•Deee @deeeeoflagos]

I will never understand how a girl's biggest dream is getting married. Are you okay?

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@mynne000 “Manage” can quietly become a polite word for “endure.”

A healthier standard is mutual responsibility: both spouses should be willing to examine how their behaviour affects the marriage and change what needs changing.

[Nneoma🤨 @mynne000]

I just finished listening to something now and I am asking;,

Why do people expect women to “manage” difficult husbands but rarely tell men to manage difficult wives?

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@Horlasco1058469 The real issue isn’t the groceries; it’s whether she sees your visit as a shared experience or an expense she expects you to cover.

Before making it a relationship problem, ask whether this is her normal way of handling money or simply how she interpreted your request.

[Olanrewaju Emmanuel @Horlasco1058469]

My girlfriend comes to my place to spend the weekend. We always have fun, and we even go for outing.

So this weekend, I decided to go to her place instead. I called her and said, “Babe, I want to come over to your place.”

Immediately, she said I should send her money to buy groceries so she could prepare food for me when I come she doesn’t have food at home.

I honestly don’t understand. If I hadn’t decided to come to her place this weekend, wouldn’t she still have needed to buy food for herself?

Now I’m wondering if I should just give her space or if I’m overreacting.

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@SamuelIgeola Privacy protects a marriage, but secrecy can also become unhealthy. The real skill is knowing the difference between protecting your relationship and isolating it from people who genuinely care about you.

[Oyedeji, Igeola Samuel @SamuelIgeola]

Your biggest threat may not be outside your marriage, it may be sitting in your circle, smiling like a friend.

Stop giving people a front-row seat to your marriage. Not everyone celebrating your happiness is happy for you.

Some things should stay between husband, wife, and God.

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@iamFrancesHart The hardest part is realizing the decision isn’t simply “Down syndrome or not”; you’re deciding what level of uncertainty, support, and responsibility you’re prepared to embrace and that deserves more than a rushed yes or no.

[Frances Hart @iamFrancesHart]

Y’all are 9 weeks pregnant.

Your doctor sits you down and says testing indicates your baby may have Down syndrome.

Your man goes quiet, then says:

“Whatever you decide, I’m with you.”

Now everybody’s looking at YOU.

No speeches. No “what I’m supposed to say” answers.

Are y’all continuing the pregnancy or not?

And what would actually make you choose?

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@Chris_De_teller Love him or hate him, he is a legend. He has paid his due

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

@Chris_De_teller Sometimes what feels like weakness is simply the cost of being strong for too long. Recovery isn’t losing momentum; it’s how you make sure the next battle doesn’t break you.

[GOD-fIdence @God_Fidence01]

Elijah experienced one of his lowest emotional moments immediately after one of his greatest victories. - 1 Kings 18–19

Yesterday's strength doesn't mean you cannot be exhausted today.
