Finding Fulfillment | How to find fulfillment

 What I am to tell you right now might surprise you, but it's true. Ok, this is it," No matter how much wealth, fame, or friends you acquire, there will always be a gap, or let's call it a longing in your heart that can never be filled. No material things or natural thing can fill it".

Haven't you heard stories of men and women who were thought to be great and wealthy yet commit suicide? Maybe I'm going to far, let's talk about you. Sincerely, look into your life, you know you more than I do, there's a longing deep-seated in your heart for something you can't place your hands on. Many people felt that longing and thought money, fame, friends, drinks, and ladies could fill it but it only did that temporarily...

 Everyone born into the earth is born that way...void of fulfillment. That's what Adam lost in the garden of Eden. And because naturally you and I have Adam as our forefather, we were born with that longing for a sense of fulfillment. But there's a solution, a permanent one.

It's in the Word, 'And because God is the source and sustainer of everything, everything finds fulfillment in him. May all praise and honor be given to him forever! Amen!' Rom 11:36. I always emphasize the authenticity of the Word. If the word says it then there's no two ways about it, it.

The only way you can fill that void and find true and lasting fulfillment is in God. Stop trying to get it through your job or your spouse or friend or your money. They can't give you lasting fulfillment. Be true to yourself. You have tried various ways and you know it didn't last. Why not turn to what will last forever. 

Fulfillment comes through God and is sustained through fellowship and intimacy with Him. The first step is to have God in your life through Jesus Christ. And the next is to stay connected to Him through a real relationship. God is your fulfillment and without Him, there's only void. 

For many years of my life I sought that fulfillment, I sought that satisfaction, I was the senior prefect in school, I was a chorister at church, I represented in various quiz competitions and won some, and my family was comfortable. Yet I had low self-confidence, and almost sank into depression countless times, there was just something missing but I couldn't place my hands on it.

Things changed for me when God reached out to me and found me. He changed my life. I was in my first year at the university at the time. Not only did I surrender my life to Jesus Christ but the Holy Spirit helped me sustain a relationship with Him through my church at the time. And since then till now, my life has only gotten better. I have not yet achieved everything I want to but I am fulfilled on the inside and that fulfillment will make me achieve even more than expectations.

This is God reaching out to you today! What you looking for is in Him. It's in a relationship with Him. There's no specific way to start or go about it. Just do what He's laying in your heart to do now. He wants to change your life and make it continually better, just as he made mine.

What to do when you are stuck | My story

 I stood in the middle of the road, thinking, asking myself why I got into this. I could not start trekking the 2hrs journey with my legs that had been stressed enough for that day. Neither could I gather myself together or even think of asking someone I don't even know from anywhere to assist me with my transport fare back home. Have you ever been stuck like this before? Maybe it's not exactly in the middle of the road. Maybe it's a relationship, you know you need to get out of. Or dilemma, where you have to choose from two options that you don't even want. Being stuck can be really frustrating, I mean really really frustrating. But the real deal is "how do you handle such situations?" I had just had one of the most stressful days of my life... Finished my first job in the morning and was now rounding up the next. I was relying so much on what I would be paid that evening, All the money I had on me got exhausted on expenses I could not run away from that day....

What do you have now ?

The rate at which people are getting anxious, tired, depressed, and frustrated these days has been on an increase. I almost lost 3 of my friends to these things, but thank God they picked up once they discovered the solution to their problems. That's what I will be sharing here. I have discovered the true cause of depression, anxiety, and frustration. I found out that everyone I have spoken to or counseled as regards this issue, all gave similar replies. They were all focusing on the wrong details of their lives.  They were paying so much attention to all the things they couldn't or have not been able to do, they were focusing so much on what they have not been able to get right, and they were absorbed in all the things they couldn't control. They had lost sight of all their strengths and were now focusing on their weaknesses. Such focus will only end up draining strength and hope from you. I understand that you may not have everything in control now. I get that things may...

You are a LIFE-GIVER | a reminder

He was lying dead on the table right there before my eyes. I could hear the sound of all the people outside the room, crying, mourning and lamenting. Every one was disoriented, not knowing what to do next. I was in the room with a friend and she was trying to tell me what happened, she said some people came into the room and shot the little boy , I just couldn't believe it. Of course I could see that he was lying lifeless on the table there but I just couldn't accept that he was dead. At that moment, I began to shout and declare.." You are full of life! You are full of life! as I drew near to the child. My friend beside me thought I had lost my mind, but when she observed that the little boy started moving as I spoke those words she went to lock the door, just to keep the crying people out... I hadn't stopped speaking life to the child, I was praying in the spirit and at the same time declaring,"You are full of life" to the child. And gradually, life started ...
