TODAY'S GRACED RECIPE
Choose God's will over self-will.
The flesh always demands: our response to all these demands must be subjected to the Holy Spirit.
How?
Feed on truth.
His Word is the truth.

"SEARCHING IN THE WRONG PLACES"
© Opeyemi Akintunde
My name is Gladys , I heard Funmi, got a husband by going to the Church every single day, I also heard, Mayokun, my Childhood best friend got her husband from attending parties every Saturday, it was one of those Saturdays, She met her Husband. I knew, my Cousin Folashade, got a husband from walking around the biggest Shopping Mall in Lagos for two months.
My Cousin would dress up gorgeously, and would drive to the Mall, sit down like she was waiting for someone, it was during one of her "sitting down" days, a guy joined her on the table, they started discussing, and after that, 5 months later, they got married...
I decided for me to get a husband, I could use all of these tactics, I would go to Church everyday just to be noticed by any available single man except on Saturdays, when I gatecrashed any wedding. On public holidays, you will find me at different Malls, Advertising myself....
BUT,
it never worked, For six months it never worked. I was torn, and I went home after one evening service, When a brother I had been eyeing was announced to be getting married soon...
My Mum was in the Living room... She could see my bloodshot eyes,
"Gladys what's wrong? " Mum asked
" Nothing" I lied
" Gladys.... " Mum pressed on
" Mum, Everything.. I am single and Jobless... Mum.. I have searched everywhere for a husband "
" Maybe you are searching in the wrong places"
" Is church the wrong place, and besides I am the woman, I am not the one to be searching"
" Good, stop searching for a man, Search for God, and God Will direct you in the right direction , Remember, Mary was looking for Jesus at the tomb, But the Angel told them, You are searching in the Wrong place, Christ is not here, Go ahead"..Christ later revealed Himself to them at the Place He choose. "
It was like my mum's word was a prophecy, I started going to Church to seek God more, It was during this period that I was inspired by God to start frying beanscake, since I was out of Job... And Yes you guessed right, My husband drove down to buy my popular beanscake, He became a regular customer, overtime we became friends and you know you can Imagine the rest... Today, is my 12th year anniversary.
Lesson I learnt is most times, we search for answers in the wrong places, or places we use our brain to think we will find answers, but the best thing is to Find God and Let HIM direct your path. Stop searching in the wrong places.
God has the direction to where your blessings lie.. FIND GOD!.
Matthew 28: 5-7

Counseling sessions minus the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit equals futility.
Experience is not the best teacher in life. The Holy Spirit is. If you considers it as over-spirituality, ask Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. You can also ask this couple, Ananais and Saphirra from the Bible.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength...
The Holy Spirit as the BEST COUNSELOR teaches us to wait on God only.

DIRECTION
When light appears, it automatically dispels darkness and gives clarity for direction. The true light to all situations is the WORD OF GOD; Settle with it.
" And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it"

The flesh demands a lot from us, and if not well disciplined, eternity with God will be not possible.
Discipline your flesh and its demands.
"I harden my body with blows and bring it under COMPLETE CONTROL, to keep myself from being disqualified after having called others to the contest."
