Mending Bridges is an online show that inspires youths to live a Chaste, Focused and Purposeful life. The show discusses various topics as it concerns youths.
To be an authentic person you must have learnt the lessons God intended for you as you passed through tests/difficulties. It is in all those things you learn what will shape your values. Those who forget their history have no anchor and can easily be seduced to fit in with others
Follow the leading of the Spirit not your emotions. There are things we are emotionally drawn to but not our assignment. Pray about all the things you feel for, listen to the Spirit on what things to do. Paul was emotionally attached to the Israelites but assigned to the Gentiles
Walk in forgiveness and give but as the scripture says, "do not cast your pearls before a swine nor give that which is holy to dogs lest they trample it under their feet and turn back attacking you." Walk in love but set boundaries. Be useful to others but don't allow abuse.
When faced with a massive disappointment your first response should be, bow your head before your Maker and worship him. It makes little logical sense but with this you will win. Job and David responded this way when terrible news was brought their way. Also speak evil of no man.
1 We all express our faith in different ways, to the woman with the issue of blood it was by touching the clothes of Jesus, for the Roman Centurion he said Jesus you don't need to come close, speak the word where you are for Jairus he said "come lay your hands on my daughter"
We love revelation but hate instruction. We are glad when a minister does an exegesis on prayer/worship as he teaches line upon line. The problem starts when he begins to instruct telling how long you should spend in prayer daily. We raise our hands in protest at the discipline.
As a young Christian, my pastor once said, it is better to pray 20mins everyday rather than spend hours praying but that once in a while and far between.
Reason is the reward is for those who in patience continuance in well doing seek glory. Consistency is the name of the game
The more you read, you find out history repeats itself. The way to alter outcomes when the same events occur is to extract lessons out of history however history teaches that people hardly learn from history this is due to our lack of understanding on how to renew our minds
Practise staying in the presence of God. Nothing more builds inner strength and calmness. It takes quietness to utilise all the opportunities life throws at you for the best will come in packages that may not feel right but through keeness of insight you see the open door.
You’ll wait. You’ll pray. You’ll get frustrated. You’ll question everything. But you’ll continue to be patient. You’ll keep waiting. And you’ll keep praying. And one day when you least expect it, it’ll finally happen. So don’t ever stop believing.
