CALIBRATE!!!

  My office printer calibrates more than twice a day and it does so, sometimes, to the displeasure of some of my colleagues at the office. 
I have a friend, his name is Eben, and at least once a week, he posts the word, "Calibrate" on his whatsApp status. For a while, I was curious about what he meant whenever he posted that word on his status...yet, I never asked him. Once, I look up the meaning on calibrate in the dictionary...and I found this: mark (a gauge or instrument) with a standard scale of readings.


It was then that I understood why the printer always calibrated several times in the course of the day. In simple terms, "it was checking itself in order to function appropriately". Well, I can't say why my friend Eben uses the word oftentimes (because I still haven't asked him). 

For me, using this word, "Calibrate" which I also post on my status a couple of times is a reminder for me to check myself and re-align myself spiritually and emotionally. 
Who IS my Standard? Jesus Christ IS my Standard. Whenever I use the word "Calibrate' it becomes my way of checking myself and allowing Holy Spirit to re-tune my affections towards him.

Hey, we are very fallible as humans but Praise be to The Only One Who IS able to keep us from falling! Daily and in most times than once, we would need to constantly re-align ourselves with The Word of God and what it says concerning us. We would need to constantly remind ourselves that we are loved, we are enough, we are worth the time and we are very much worth the Blood! 
We would have to remind ourselves of our royal status especially in those times when we feel like the lesser of the commons. We would need to remind ourselves of the Army of Angels that are at our disposal as Royals of the King of Kings and continue to walk in that knowledge. 

Mehnn... you gotta calibrate on the regular. 

Be like my office printer...and even more. Never cease to re-align yourself and never think you are crazy for doing so...even when others think you are wasting their time for trying to sort yourself out first. Most times, people want us to react in certain ways which are contrary to who we are. And when they find us trying to re-orient ourselves and keep ourselves from taking the bait, they lash out at us with so much spite. God bless their souls. We will not fall prey to their vices... instead, we will CALIBRATE!!!

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

An Invitation to Intimacy

  I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School.  I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed.  That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone.  When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriously, I would easily m

Day One: Daddy's secret place

For weeks now, prior to today, I have heard the same message from different preachers. Not to say that I deliberately went looking for them but these kept resounding in my ears and in my spirit. God Is Good. God Is Great...and He loves me. I believe that He wants to speak to me. He wants to share His heart with me. I need Him too. I need the fullness He brings. I want to find that secret place Psalm 91 talks about. I believe I will find Him. I believe that I will know Him. I believe I will never be satisfied and that I will need more and more of Him as I seek Him. I pray that you find Him and dwell in Him as you thirst for intimacy with Jesus also. I believe there is Grace available for this. May God grace you to seek Him. In Jesus'name, amen <Yesterday, I made two friends...Jennifer and her son, Enock. Kindly say a prayer for them today...as led to by Holy Spirit>
