Theme: Coping with Aging Identity

Anchor Text: Psalms 90:12 New Living Translation
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Permit me to share a personal story first.

Growing up I found myself always among those who were older than I was. Right from when I was in primary School, down to my secondary school days. Even in the seminary I found myself in the same situation and even till date I still work with those that are older.

My best friends and close associates have always been older than myself. Apparently this caused me to act more maturedly than my age due to those I surrounded myself with. Now this in itself can be a bit of a problem if not handled properly.

In most cases anyone in such situation has the tendency to be young in age but actually old at heart. This could lead to all sorts of depression, anxiety and pressure to meet up with a particular standard whereas one is not yet ready for such.

Age identity is a term in psychology that refers to how old a person actually feels regardless of his or her chronological age. This age identity is subjective in nature as it depends on the outcome of several events in a person's life.

Truth is one could feel older or younger than their real chronological age but feeling older has more negative effects. I believe strongly that this effect in our society is one of the major reasons for depression, anxiety, and unwholesome comparison with others today.

So as the Lord grants insights and wisdom, I'll be sharing how to cope with this phenomenon using both the Word of God and the wisdom of man which lines up with the word of God.

We'll deal with it gradually and I believe God will use this to bring healing to someone.

We'll continue tomorrow by God's Grace...

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
