WHO TOLD YOU?

 

                             

"The people you listen to are a preview of the future you."
-Jeff Henderson.

 

There's something about mindsets that's mind boggling.

They're like new computers or phones or blank canvases at birth. The applications or programs that you download in them are what make your system different from mine and able to do different things from mine.

As we grow, we are consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously downloading software that will determine the kinds of lives that we live.

If the voices you hear constantly tell you that you're incapable, too small, and terrible at doing certain things, guess what's going to happen to you?

Yep! You’ll cripple yourself into consistent failure.

On the other hand, what happens if the voices you hear regularly, tell you what's possible and not what's impossible; if the voices you hear tell you there's really nothing hard about anything, and that God's presence in your life makes you unstoppable, guess what's going to happen to you?

Yes again! You'll begin to pursue your dreams without any shadow of a doubt that your time is coming.

 

Eve never planned to disobey God and doom the human race.

She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, LISTENING TO THE WRONG PERSON!

Her life was going fine and according to God’s plan, until Satan hacked into her mind.

Once the poison of doubt was planted, it was only a matter of time before she did what she never thought she would do: disobey God.

When the deed was done, the second question God asked them began with, "Who told you...?"

 

Today, I have the same question for you.  WHO TOLD YOU?  

The negative things you think about yourself...who told you?

The things/people you're afraid of that are meant to be afraid of you...who told you?

The person you want to be, but don’t believe you can be...who told you?

If it wasn't God, it's a big fat LIE!

 

Consistently listening to certain voices will begin to make you think like them, and (give it a little more time) act like them, and (if your consistency is amazing,) even live like them!

It's not magic. It's just a mindset thing.


As we dive deeper into the last part of 2022, your goals could very well depend on the voices you regularly hear.

The good news is that it's up to YOU to scrutinize the sounds that are loudest in your life. 

You have the power to tune down voices and turn up the volumes of the ones that speak in the direction you're going.

 

I'm still rooting for you. 

And here's to your progress.🥂

    Being able to differentiate between the voice of God and the devil is very key. Thank you for this.

    I can't agree less. I need to learn to filter the voices I allow to influence me. Thanks Sis. Eunice for this piece.

A FAT SLIM GIRL.

Image
                     (Image from Yoga matters) A FAT SLIM GIRL. She saw fat everywhere. It was in her face, in her neck, in her arms, in her stomach, in her thighs, in her legs. It was within and without her. Nobody saw her as fat. It was her mind, the mind she allowed social media to influence, that told her she was fat. It was the way she looked at herself in the mirror that got her upset about her weight. It was her low self-esteem and lack of confidence in herself that informed her change of behaviour. It was her lack of self love that led to her ruin. She was a healthy weight of a hundred and twenty pounds at age seventeen. She was healthy. She was okay. But she didn't see it like that. Her mind had been distorted by what she saw. It was not always like that. There once was a time when she was in love with her body. When she considering herself lucky to be 'full' in areas that mattered. When she had no fears or insecurities about her weight and the way she looke

We're Moving!

  Special one, we're moving ! Yessss A couple of days ago I finally bought into God's idea of expanding and stretching the curtains of my blogging journey. And yes, I admit I struggled with it for a while because it felt a little bit scary.  Actually, scratch that. It was very scary.  I didn't think I was ready and certainly didn't feel like making some commitments it would require from me. But I've learnt that when God says move, you better move! So whether I feel like I'm ready or not, this is me announcing to you that I would no longer be posting on the Godly Teens blog. We're moving to a new site, which would be the home of amazing and relatable blog posts from here on out.  I call it Purple Streaks. (Maybe I would write about how that name came about. *wink*) But before we head on over to the new site, I want to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for being such loyal readers to my posts thus far. For commenting and sharing my posts. For critiquing my works and ad

THAT LIGHT CALLED HOPE

Image
"Hope is a flame that needs to be protected; it is the oxygen our dreams need to stay alive." -Eunice Obidi. Right now on this harmattan morning, as I write this blogpost, there are four items on the table before me: an empty glass, which held a steaming cup of Milo about four minutes ago; a red plastic plate with cake crumbs and clumps of abandoned icing sugar; a new notebook, it's pages smooth and crisp, waiting to be filled with everything bubbling in my heart; and an old notebook already filled cover to cover with different colors of ink. The old notebook, although wrinkled and the page edges folded up, is opened to a page titled "GOALSSS!" The writing is almost hard to read because it was written in red ink and is already smudging... But because I was the one who wrote it, it appears as clear to me as the day I wrote it on the third of January 2022.  As I read from line to line, page to page, I see the things I promised myself and God when this year started
