The Unplugging

# U-N-P-L-U-G


The picture captions one who dares to do something different. This is a call to UNPLUG. Many of us have spent hours, days, weeks, months and years serving others, serving things that do not benefit our well-being. We have become so absorbed by what is happening around us-the chaos, the anxiety, the fear, the loss, the defeat, the trials and the failures that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten us. We are forgetting ourselves. Do yourselves a favour and UNPLUG!

The unplugging

v Unplug from social media now and again. Unplug so your mind can be at ease. Free from the cares, the pressures and influences which divert attention from your inner self and your inner peace.
v Unplug from people who are toxic and drains your energy by either depositing too much information or simply not being a positive impact-Gossiping and sharing peoples business you have no interest in whatsoever.
v Unplug from toxic environments. Places that put a strain on your mind by reminding you of events that are heart-rending, depressing and painful.

HOW CAN I REPLENISH MYSELF?

There are simple low-cost ways of refuelling our being: reading a book of your choice, exercise, treating yourself to that dinner, participating in that empowerment forum and looking after YOU.

Remember in unplugging you MUST: 

U- Understand that YOU are important
N- Never underestimate the POWER of alone time
P - Position yourself to be a BETTER person
L- Lean on CHRIST without whom nothing would be possible
U - Utilize your GIFTS to bring yourself happiness and
G- Give yourself time to understand the true PURPOSE of your existence.

It’s time to unplug… refuel and recharge.

    This is very fitting. I do not believe that we are quarantined merely to protect ourselves and others from the pandemic; it is time for reflection and restoration and separation - time to unplug to reconnect.

Suffering is not ALL bad

You WILL benefit from your suffering Many of us do not want to be associated with suffering of any kind. When we hear the word, we immediately think of undergoing pain and hardship that will potentially destroy us. However, suffering is NOT all bad, and in many cases, God uses suffering to bring us up to his standard. Suffering can be self-induced. There are times we suffer and it is not the fault of others but ours; especially when we disobey God. Additionally, there is externally induced suffering that we may face simply because of things we cannot exactly control. People may hate you so they make your life difficult, by hurling insults and creating situations to bring us harm. FIVE reasons we should be more appreciative of suffering : - Suffering produces perseverance : Suffering in itself is not beneficial. Some who only dwell on their suffering never gain its benefits or achieve a higher perspective. But those who focus on what God can do through suffering...

Formula for blessing

Blessing   We often think about being blessed in our limited scope to refer only to an increase in material gain. Whilst this is sometimes a sign that one is indeed blessed, this is only a fragment of what the word means; this word is much bigger than that and carries greater weight. To be blessed is to have God's favour upon your life- which transcends to every aspect of your life and everything that concerns your being. To be blessed simply means submitting your life to God's leading- do what he requires of you, live the way he commands and have genuine love in your heart for others (neighbour).   Types of blessings that we need - Spiritual blessings : We need to ensure that God has indeed selected us and set us apart for his grand plan; access to his grace and mercies for our daily walk with him. Eph. 1:3-4 (NIV) says “p raise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he ch...

Faith gets God's Attention

                          Faith impresses God                                                     Many of us speak of having faith but we do not have it. Some of us have gone as far as mentioning that we have 'crazy' faith or big faith, but yet our actions are far from it. Most of the time what we demonstrate is nothing but lip service. True faith gets God’s attention, not mere lip service or wishful thinking . The Hebrew writer defined faith as “ the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen  (Heb.11:1)” .   Faith, therefore, means abandoning all trust in our resources, abilities, and reasoning-the things we see. It means relying instead on things we cannot see-God's promises, provisions, and his concern for us. An inner attitude alone does not define faith, thoug...
